My Hubby with his daughters, and a weekend without his wife.

I have to say thank you to my husband. He sent me on my way to a 4 day MOPS retreat with 17 other amazing mommies. With my kids safe and home and in his great care, I was able to be refreshed, renewed and reminded how great my calling is.

I love him for giving me that gift. For letting me have a moment to hit the refresh button and come back ready and equipped to be a better mom. The worship and study of God's word, the fellowship with my MOPS sisters and the time to be silly with some friends was worth more than words can say.

Thank you Brian for giving me this past weekend. I love you.

Angel Mommies

This past week a few of my mom friends have been real angels. Stepping in with me to help another mom. Reaching out to a stranger in the Love of Christ and the bond of motherhood is such a sweet thing. So I want to thank Jaime, Lorna, Shara and Lindi for helping me out. Loving people is a gift that gives back in unseen ways.

Thank you for the memories Mesa!

Please show your love and support by visiting Mesa's new company at www.mesacolephotography.com she gave her time and love by doing these photos for me. This means so much to me. My parents loved the photos and will cherish the memories for life.

Kristina...what would I do without her?

Thank you that you help me out with the girls anytime I scream help. Thank you for reminding me that young ladies can be cool and still love Jesus very much. Thank you for being such a sweetheart...and by the way, Happy late Birthday!

Andrea

We are so proud of you. From your drive in education to your passion for Christ. You are a great example of Godly womanhood and I hope my girls grow very close to you as they grow up. Thank you for your selfless love for all of us. For your giving spirit. You desire to think outside the box in gift giving and time spending. For your obedient spirit and gently care for others. You are so loved and will be missed. BUT I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE GOING TO BE NEAR MY BIG SIS!

so many that I love and appreciate....GREAT FRIENDS WHO DO GREAT THINGS

My friend Lindi- far left is so great about helping me in a pinch. If I need to drop the girls off and run to do an errand she is so gracious to open her home. I don't know if she realizes how amazing that is to me.

My friends Sherri and Sarah are wonderful at throwing creative parties. Just the best fun!

And I have to say a special thank you to Sarah, She put attention on me and Sherri at her last party and really blessed me. She told everyone about events Sherri and I were going to be a part of, that are near and dear to our hearts. She is giving and creative and loving...I know Sherri would agree. She made sure everyone knew what we were doing and gave to both of our causes.

Amanda is my friend there at the very bottom, she knows she is awesome. I told you about Amanda recently.....I have really good friends. I wish I could share them with the world!

Thank you to ALL WHO SERVE! past and present....
