Happy Birthday to Me

Breakfast in bed, fun gifts, family around me, and dinner out...Could not ask for a better birthday!!

Fun, Food, and Fellowship

Kevin and Cahrrie came into town so we all got together to enjoy some time with them. We had a wonderful time of fun, food, and fellowship! Looking forward to having them with us again very soon!

Glen celebrated 20 years with his company this past month. His boss and employees surprised him with a celebration! I am so thankful for this man!! He is a hard-working, loyal, ambitious, and faithfuly man of God. His obedience to the Lord's calling on his life allows me to fulfill the role God has given me as a wife and stay-at-home mother. I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!

My Happy Valentine

God's blessings are so sweet!! The children and Glen gave me beautiful roses and homemade cards for Valentine's Day! The children enjoyed a package of goodies from Nana V as well as a few goodies from Mommy and Daddy. Nana V made the girls nightgowns...They are so cute!!!

Our Library is AWESOME!!

Our library is AWESOME!! It has been newly renovated and it really looks great. Tuesday was the first time we have had Storytime in the regular room since before Christmas. The children loved being back in the room with fun paintings on the walls and their size tables!

Azaryah and his Storytime buddies, Shayne and Garrett...

Azaryah's Valentine Day craft...

Here is a Sneak Peek at our newly renovated library...

The Teen Cave is not quite finished...Next week, it will look like a Cafe' complete with computers, comfy seating, and a bevealed glass partition...Corbyn is looking forward to hanging out there while Azaryah has Storytime each week!!

The adult area of the library...Not quite finished either but next week should have all the items in place and ready for all of us to enjoy!!

Wizard of Oz Play

Our Language Arts class normally meets on Friday but this week we decided to take the class and head to a production of Wizard of Oz. It was a great show and the kiddos loved it. Susan, Beth, Kim, and I enjoyed it as well ;-) We missed Cahrrie and her girls, though...Next field trip, we will all be together!!

Small Group Date Night

Glen and I are so blessed to be in a small group with some wonderful couples. These couples walk with us through life, pray with us and for us, encourage us to be the man and woman God created us to be, and we are all open and transparent with one another! That is not something you experience very often. We normally meet twice a month to catch up, share what God is doing in our lives, ask for prayer in areas of our lives that we may be struggling in at that time...While the adults meet together our children enjoy fellowship with one another. This month, we decided to have a Small Group Date Night. We started our evening at Spin for some yummy pizza and then off to the Bocce Basement for a game of bocce.

Carol was up first for the Girls...She is quite the bocce player!

Dave took the floor next...He is very good but I stopped cheering for him when he continually knocked my ball out of bounds ;-)

Beth showing us how it is done...You Go Girl

Susan up next...She knocked a couple of the Guys' balls out of bound for us!!!

My Hubby showing us how it is done...He knocked one of my balls out of bound too but I decided to forgive him!! heehee

Rob was up next for the Guys...You know, you learn a lot about a fella when you play a game with him. Rob shows no mercy and he forgets we are FRIENDS!!!! lol

Kim is a quiet Ladybug but she sure can throw a Bocce ball!!! Give me a K (K)...Give me an I (I)...Give me a M (M)...GOOOOOOOOO KIM!!!!!!!!! (That was my cheer for her!!!)

See that green ball kissing the white ball?!??! That was the guys' score but I told them when I put it on the blog and on FB, I would say that the Ladybugs were green!!! heehee
