Easter and Red Roses

Kelan came into my room at 6:30 AM with a nose bleed. He was so excited to see what the "Easter Bunny" had left him that he could not return to sleep. I was trying my best to dose back off. I woke up to him rubbing my hair then he gently leaned in and kissed my face :)
While putting Ayla's jommies on her that evening before bed (extremely tire) she grabs my blankie from when I was a little girl. I said "you like mommas blankie?" She said "Yeah she smells good." I said what does she smell like? "Red roses."

Sweet Words

While getting ready for church Sunday my sweet Kelan was lying on the bed looking at me. I said "Bubby what are you doing?" He said "Looking at your pretty face." This child is so precious..my response was "You are going to make your wife so happy one day." I mean that. I know he will be an awazing man of God. So thoughtful...so caring. So tender hearted.
Lord, I pray he is strong, courageous, a hard worker, dedicated, loyal, trustworthy, forgiving, patient and everything you have designed him to be.

American Pickers

While working today a patient comes into the office to inform us that Mike from American Pickers was next door at the coffee house. So, Lynn and I go over to grab a quick photo with him.
She was so excited she jumped in front of the judge and says to me "Take our picture." She is such a hoot!

Create.

I love to create..it calms me. Lately, I have been making flower headbands for my daughter. I began after purchasing Ayla's Easter dress. The dress didn't have a matching hair bow so I decided to make one. Here are a few pictures.
My grandmothers name is Nancy Rose. I felt this collection fit that name perfectly :)
This one was made to match my daughters Easter dress.
My friend Dusty asked that I made a few to put in gift baskets to be auctioned off at Regional Christian School's dinner auction :) I was soo excited that she asked.
Because, I love brown and fell in love with this fabric.
I wanted to try something other than headbands.
The Charlotte collection named after my friend Lauren's baby.

Lizards 3-23-12

Kelan and Cross found 5 lizards while playing outside this evening. They ended up in our living room...eek! I am trying to be supportive. Much better than the hamsters they have been asking for. They are so excited they are naming each of them :) Daddy cleaned out the fish tank that was in Ayla's room. Her goldfish died 2 days after bringing them home. How did I get stuck with all these animal lovers? I have never been a huge fan of animals especially reptiles! But if my loves are happy then Momma's happy.
Kelan keeps saying "Thanks for letting me keep the lizards momma...I love you."
