"Mother's Day"

I had a great Mother's Day! I love being a Mom to Tanner! I thank God for Tanner, and I also thank God for an awesome Godly Mother, Grandmother and Mother-in-law.
My birthday also fell on Mother's Day this year, our church surprised me with a Birthday party after church on Sunday night, it was a very nice surprise! I can't believe that my twin sister and I are 20 35, where in the world did time go!? I thank God for giving me a good life, I hope I can re-pay Him for some of the blessings!

I made Perry's Mom a quilt out of Perry's t-shirts for Mother's Day,
this is a quote I put on the back

Easter!

The story of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ is such a powerful story. It is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. It is a story that makes you experience so many different emotions while reading it. Between church services yesterday I was listening to the Hymn "Who Am I" as I listened to the words "who am I that a King would bleed and die for" I felt so unworthy of His grace to me, I fall so short in thanking Him for all He has done. It is so easy when things are going well to feel like you have everything in control, when actually God is in total control. So when I really think about "who am I"? I am absolutely nothing without Jesus Christ, may I never forget that. He was nailed to the cross but arose again the third day so that I could have life eternal, may I never forget that I have a job to do to gain "Life Eternal"! Thank you Lord for dying for my sins!

Florida

Here are the rest of our pictures from Florida. We had a great trip! It was nice to get away for a while and relax! We were able to go to the Naval Museum in Pensacola and watch the Blue Angels practice, Tanner thought they were Rockets, he wants to go to outer space! I told him that we will probably not be going to outer space! He loves to look up in the sky, he uses a wrapping paper roll for his pretend telescope, he reminds me of Curious George!

Tanner drew a crowd with his cheese crackers!






Was able to meet up with Kelli, a close friend of mine
I didn't know I wanted a child with Down Syndrome until God gave me you.....Thank You God!!
