blessings

 Family! The greatest blessing that the Lord could give me. I always prayed for a Christian husband, that would be a great daddy, work hard for his family, loyal, caring, loving, and handsome. I Def think the Lord knew what he was doing when he put me and Jake together. We equal each other out and make each other better. So thankful I got all of these qualities that I prayed for in a husband. So thankful for my husband. I love him so much. 

Babies!!!! I always wanted to be a mommy and stay at home and care for my babies. I love everything about being about mommy , even though sometimes are hard and sometimes I get worn out. I still love every minute. I love that my girls have sisters. I  always wanted a sister, but only had 1 brother. I pray that they always grow up close, be Godly girls, have hopes and dreams, be respectable, love each other and others, and always be mommy's girls. :) I pray that the Lord will bless us with a couple more babies, if it's his will. I pray that he gives me all the qualities everyday that make me the best mother I can be. 

Here are my girls. My AJL's :) 

Yes all 3 have the initals AJL :) 

Counting my blessings everyday. 

Love my sweet little family. 

God is Love!

Date day with my love

What a privilege to have a day date with my hubby! Normally if we have a date it's once every couple months and it's at night. Well this is we got to day home on Friday night eat pizza and watch captain America (the newer one) while we snuggled on the couch. 

This was us going to get the pizza :) 

 

The next morning we woke up and met some friends at and municipal park and played some disc golf. This was our 1st time playing in like 5 years. Lol. We weren't as terrible as I thought we would be. Of coarse Jake and his friend Jake were the best out of the 4 of us. But it was so much fun and so thankful it was over cast most the time. 

Then we headed and grabbed some lunch at camillias that was our 1st time trying it and it was pretty good. We went by our friends house and freshened up and changed clothes and headed out to the university of South alabama vs Mississippi state game. We were gonna tram from the mall so we didn't have to drive our car in the not so best part of town. But it was so packed it looked like a 2 hour wait. It was already almost 2 and the game started at 3. So we opted out of that and just drove down there. We parked in someone's yard and paid $15, and walked to the statium which wasn't to far from where we parked. It was so packed out. People were parking everywhere.

We got in finally and had to make our way through the sea of people. When we finally got to our seats we were in the student section and it was crammed packed. 

So I start getting aggravated. Nobody wanted to sit down. It was like 90 plus degrees , and we had drunken idiots all around us. I'm not a huge fan of big crowds and I am def not a fan at all of disrespect and cussing. So the more we stood there the more I was getting aggervated. They kept chanting f*** state. Over and over and over.

there were lots of children around and I mean really how dumb do you sound shouting that. It def made the school look uneducated , ignorant, and just plan dumb. So not.long after this next picture we went out to get a water cause I was getting so hot and we went and found a new seat. They are my very strict at where you sit so this helped us be able to move.  

We waited 30 min for a water. Yes 30 min. The headed to find a new seat where it looked like way less people and they were all sitting down. And we ended up here behind the field goal.

So glad we decided to move. So much better. Noone was drunk and yelling cuss words out and everyone  was sitting down. Yes. Thank you Lord! And we ran into one of our friends and sat by him. 

Well we only stayed til half time cause I had such a major headache, and felt so nauseas. I don't know.if it was the heat or what. So we left and headed to my in laws where the girls were and I had to lay down. I fell asleep for 2 hours , I felt some better when I woke up but not 100%. I think it was from the heat and a migraine on top of it.

But I'm def thinking about writing the school a letter because they advertise that the games are family friendly and that is def not. I'd my girls would have been with Me I would have been.going off on some people around me. Now that is.coming from someone who hates confrintation. But when it comes to my babies. It is a different story. 

But even with that happening I had an awesome time with my husband.. being able to spend so much time with him. And just focus.on me and him. It's some precious time. 

Until next time, 

Be blessed, 

Heather :) 

some craft time

Started off the day and took Avery to school. I had picked up some frames and such at a thrift store a couple weeks ago and have been wanting to paint them and get some pictures made to in them and hang them around the house. I love doing things like this. It's very relaxing and let's me be creative. There were 2 frames and a unique little mirror. Also I had gotten a sign that used to.say welcome in the heart . With a cute cow on top. Perfect for my parents to put on their mailbox. So I painted it too :) 

Here is the cute little unique mirror.

My girls wanted to have some craft time too. They love to paint and be crafty just like momma ! And I love love to have some craft time with them :) 

Here is me with the sander. After I painted the frames with I used this to sand some of the edges and and all around to make it shabby chic looking.

These are the frames after I painted them white before sanding.

Here they are after sanding. See Shabby chic right?? I love how they turned out.

Close up :)

One of the frames I painted lime green to put in the girls bathroom. I thought after I painted it... how cute.would it be if it was glittery... so I went into my craft supplies and found lime green glitter and 1st put in the the paint and that didn't work. You couldn't see the glitter at all it just made it grainy looking. So I painted it again and just sprinkled the glitter all over the frame. And it turned out so stinken cute.

Close up of the glitter. 

It will look so adorable in the girls bathroom. Will take a pic when I hang it up :)

And here is my parents new sign for their house. They have farm animals now (something my dad has always wanted)

So this sign was perfect for them.

And so we are trying to think of a cute name for their ranch \ farm. And I would like to Come up with a name for ours too. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them :)

Hopefully I can start doing some more crafty things like this more often.

I hope the rest of your week if filled with lots of laughs, sweet hugs, and many blessings.
