Pray for me...Pray for others

I participate in "Pray for Me... Pray for Others" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check out their blog to add your prayer request. Wednesday is now known as "Pray for me...Pray for others" on the Riggs blog - and they want blog authors to post their prayer request and then post a prayer request that they have for another person/family/situation.
Pray for Me :

I am fighting off a cold or something... please pray that it stays away!

Pray for Others:
Praying that my boys(all 3) stay healthy! Praying for our friends who are newly pregnant. Praying for my brother who had MORE car trouble this week :(

Please say a prayer for this family!

Continue to pray for sweet Abby!

AMEN!

The best day ever......

Matthew had an ENT appointment this morning, so I made plans to take him back to school after lunch, and made arrangements for Michael to have a play date,while Matthew & I had a long overdue lunch date.

Matthew is a "rule follower" and a "people pleaser", so he was excited, but also very worried about missing school, and his work, etc. He must have asked me a million times, what time it was....We decided to go here, Matthew had never been, and I used to work here, for a different owner, many years ago. Matthew has been "picky" for years and had just recently started eating so much more..... Matthew was so excited to try somewhere new and to be out to lunch with just Mom and him.

We ordered several things....Matthew had Udon noddles and I had a grilled chicken sandwich with an "Asian flair", we also shared sweet potato fries and sticky rice. Poor Matthew had a constant runny nose from the spice, but he was loving it! We had a nice lunch and skipped to the car to head back to school. Matthew said" Mommy this was the best day ever in my life". A few seconds later he said "Do you know why it was the best day ever Mom? It was because I got to spend it with you." "I can see my friends any time, but I can't always spend the day with you."

While I was quietly "sniffling" (I am sure you understand), I told him that it was one of my best days too, but that the best day with him for me, was the day that he was born :)

I realized today that it really is impotant to give each of our kids one on one time. Michael gets it so much more with me, because he is not in school yet, but for Matthew and I, it had been too long! I am looking forward to my next "date", with the sweetest 7 year boy that old I know!

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.

Just breathe.....

My Sweet Boys!

Michael was 5 days old and Matthew was 3 1/2 yrs. old.

It was his 1st Easter, he and I stayed home

&

Matthew went to Geema's with Daddy.

I wonder....where has the time gone? How can my baby be 7 1/2 and my other baby be getting ready to turn 4 in a few weeks! If only time could stand still.....I know we all have those days, weeks, even months where life seems to rush by in a flash. Sometimes, when you STOP and take a breath, you realize how hard it is to breathe.....because you have missed so much!

I hope you "take a breath" this week :)

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding

Proverbs 3:5

A Smile for Saturday :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

He's a "wolf".......and Hi/Lo Thursday

Tonight was Matthew's Blue & Gold Banquet, for Cub Scouts. We had a medieval feast of riblets, potatoes, garlic bread and fruit. We had all "finger foods", because long ago, there were no utensils, unless you brought your own...Yikes! So Matthew is no longer a Tiger Cub.....He is now a Wolf! It was a fun evening of entertainment, from movies, to a ventriloquist and skits. The boys were cracking up! Even Michael had a really good time!

"Hi/Lo Thursday" posts started on the Riggs Family Blog(http://www.riggsfamilyblog.com/)If you have not visited their blog, you should...it is worth the read!They could really use our prayers right now for Abby & the whole family!
My Hi's this week....

Wordless Wednesday

I took this picture last week during Matthew's Valentine's Day party....

This is Josh & his "baby" sister Briana

I just LOVE the way they are looking at each other......

100 down, and many more to go........

We had a really good weekend.....

I made heart pancakes for the boys on Saturday morning...

We exchanged gifts, I got beautiful flowers from David and a red rose from each of the boys.

The boys got new V-day Webkins and some candy and a new I-penguin.We got David a new Wii game he has been wanting.
We took the boys out for lunch to Olive Garden, and then picked them up heard shaped pizzas for dinner and I made them a big heart shaped chocolate chip cookie. They had a sleepover and two sitters(best friends from school) we left the boys for a night of fun, and headed over to our friends Teresa & Gene's for dinner. We met them 12 years ago, while eating dinner out on Valentine's Day. We were seated next to each other in a tiny bistro and became instant friends...We have since attended each others weddings, and spent every Valentine's Day together since. Now they are pregnant with their first babies, TWINS! A boy & girl due in about 4 weeks. We are so excited for them and cannot wait meet them!
Teresa made an incredible beef tenderloin with a gorgonzola sauce, she also made a yummy tomato red onion salad. I made twice-baked potatoes and a few appetizers. I also made these for dessert! They were delicious!
We had a wonderful Valentine's Day!

This is my 100th post! I wanted to do something different, which is why I had been posting less this week, but I could not decide what to do...so instead I changed my look and I picked the song "100 years"......Hope you like it :)

To help me "celebrate" I would love to hear from some of my "silent followers", you can leave a message or click on the right and become an "official follower".

Thanks so much :)
