Happy Birthday Brooke

I still can not believe it was six years ago today that I gave birth to Delaney Brooke Ward.

We had a very busy birthday weekend. Friday night my brother, sister in law and nephew came up so we all had dinner at my parents and then went and set up the gym for her party. Saturday we had a pizza party at the gym and Brooke had over twenty friends and family attend. Even her best friend from Charleston came for her party. She got a bunch of nice presents including a Vera Bradley lunch box and smocked clothes ( my favorite). She also got lots of Hannah Montana stuff which is her favorite. Saturday night it was back to my moms for another free dinner (lol!) and ofcourse a chance to spend more time with my nephew. Sunday night in childrens choir they sang Happy Birthday to Brooke and Mrs. Lisa made her a barbie cake. Today at school she got to be the helper for her birthday and we got to bring Buddy Bear home with us.

Heath & I went and ate lunch with her at school although she really didn't want us to & I got hot pink cupcakes from Walmart that was shaped like a six. We brought McKenna home with us after school and I took them to McDonalds to play on the playground. We let her pick where we ate dinner and she picked Western Sizzlin. I am not sure why since we have been there maybe twice in 5 years but we couldn't change her mind. After we got home we let her open her present from us which was Heelys. She was very excited because she has wanted them for a long time.

It was a good birthday weekend for her and that is truly what its all about.

Happy Valentines Day!

Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. Brooke came home with all kinds of stuff from her party at school today. Both of the kids had parties in their classes at church last night as well so we have lots of cards and candy. My parents offered to keep the kids tonight so we took them up on it. We had dinner at Wild Wings and shopped. Heath did good this year. He got me a vera bradley purse and wallet and I didn't even hint around about it. He called my sister about it and she told him she thought it was a good idea. He said it was hard to top the 2 dozen roses & Rascall Flatts/Sugarland tickets he got me last year. Sadly to say I didn't do as good for him. I just got him a few little things but he has me so really what more could he ask for, ha, ha!!!No, He is a great husband and a wonderful father. I love him and he truly is my best friend. Enough of that, I ended up taking Brooke to the dr. yesterday morning after she was up almost all night the night before and she also has an ear infection. They are on antibiotics and doing great now. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Valentines

A friend sent me this and I thought it was worthing sharing. Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Brady went to dr. today and has double ear infection and Brooke went to bed tonight crying with an ear ache so she will get to go to dr. in the morning.



Eternal Love

He doesn't bring me roses but He is called the Rose of Sharon.
He doesn't send flowers to my office but He grows beautiful flowers in my garden.
He doesn't kiss me but I sense His kiss when I feel sunshine or softly falling rain.
He doesn't give me sparkling diamonds to wear but the stars He set in the sky shine even more brilliantly. He doesn't whisper in my ear but His still small voice is ever with me. He isn't a valentine who has pledged lifelong love but He is Eternal Love. He demonstrated it Not by gifts or well-intentioned promises but by offering Himself as the fulfillment of promise. Not by standing with me at the wedding altar but by placing Himself on the altar. That I may know life That I may know Him and love Him forever.

Hannah Montana & Monster Trucks

Friday night we went to Five Guys and to Hannah Montana 3D movie. Brooke really enjoyed it. I am kind of scared because the little girls in front of us were probley 8 or 9 and when the Jonas Brothers were singing they were going crazy clapping and waving their hands in the air. I am not sure I am going to be able to handle Brooke acting that way in a few years. Saturday Heath & Brady went to the Monster Truck show with Marc & the boys. Brooke went to upward basketball with a girl from church. Sheri and I shopped all day without kids. You forget how nice that is. Heath said Brady enjoyed the show except 15 minutes into it her said he was ready to go.

Brady has been doing so good at night and has slept in his bed all night the last two nights. At three I know he should have been doing this all along but in three years he has not slept all night long but maybe five or six times. He normally wakes up three or four times for apple juice. Well last month after some very long nights he has stopped doing it but still ended up in our bed during the night but has been doing great. I am just hoping it sticks. My new camera card is having issued with uploading so this is old but one of my favorites of the kids.
