He will always be MY baby.

Rocco is growing too fast. He will now drink his medicine out of a cup. This is easier for everyone involved but he's my baby..sniff sniff..he's growing too fast..

Happy Birthday Roman!

Roman turned 9 on March 20th and he wanted a boot camp party. We sent out military orders as invites. The kids made a t-shirt when they arrived, using green paint & stencils. They were issued dog tags, tattoos and had their faces painted. After all of that they were challenged in an obstacle course which included cup stacking, bobbing for apples in ice water, rolling a tire, dragging a tire and many other things! Then they beat up an army tank pinata which dropped 5lbs of candy! I know, I know, those of you that know me know that I have banned candy from my house.. We loved the pinata so I had to. I could have stuffed it with bouncy balls but I don't like those either.. After all that we had cake/ice cream and opened presents.. We never did get to tug of war. I didn't count but I know we had at least thirty kids including all the siblings of the guests. Roman said it was his best party ever!

Here are a few (haha) of the pics:

Roman making his boot camp shirt, "PUNK" was his code name.
He wrote "Major Payne" on his dog tags..

Nick explaining the obstacle course.

Cup stacking

This was funny because they were supposed to get in the car but he was too big.


He took way too long thinking about how cold the water would be.

Roman dragging the tire.

Dallon had help.

Raven took care of business!

This was the pinata line! And there were more kids still playing out back!

The birthday boy's turn.

I don't think everyone got a turn but they all got plenty of candy!

This is Roman w/his favorite girl Raven.

My other two babes.

Presents

Philippians 4:11-13

We have two weeks to memorize this one because we're not meeting Sunday. Which is good, because I'll be in Savannah w/my pisans.

I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity....I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. ~Philippians 4:11-13

Another one of my favorite things..

Are you stuffed up and can't breathe? Try this homeopathic miracle nasal gel! This stuff is awesome! I will warn you that some people say it burns, but it isn't that bad to me. Two squirts in each nostril and within two seconds my passages are opened up! WOW! I know that there have been like 300 people that have sued the company because they lost their sense of smell and taste after using the product. That would be AWFUL! I take no responsibility if you're one of the people that loses their smell/taste. That would be horrible!!! They obviously haven't proved it since it's still on the market but I do know that the company settled. But I didn't find that out until after I had been using it for a while and I have to say it works like nothing else! I did try the swabs that you rub on the inside of your nose and they didn't do a thing for me. I know this is an awful time for those with allergies so this could be just what you need! There are a few different versions, I use Extreme Congestion Relief. I have a deviated septum and a stuffy nose just about disables me but really the only time I use this is when I have a cold.
Don't forget to let me know what you think!

Week #8 memory verse

"Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty." Proverbs 21:5

Another one of my favorite things

I haven't gone there in a while because I'm trying not to spend the money - thanks to my Crown Financial bible study.. But one of the most addictive sites I have ever been to is silverjewelryclub.com . My friend Deanna Richard found this site in a magazine. We have both bought a few pieces from them and everything is beautiful! The jewelry is FREE!!!!! All you pay is the $6.99 shipping & handling. SERIOUSLY!!! Can you believe it? They have four pieces of jewelry on at a time. Every 15 minutes it changes, not all at the same time. If you leave the website open while you're doing other things it will 'ding' when one changes. You can also view the upcoming items incase you're wanting a certain piece. My memory is a little sketchy on this next part because it's been a while, but if you buy a pendant you can buy a chain to go with it for ...$4 I think... Anyway, it's an awesome site that you will get addicted to if you like silver jewelry! So be careful!! Happy shopping.. Be sure to comment what you think! I'd love to know..

Here are some pictures of a few of the pieces on now:
