Joshua wasn't the only one to have a 1st time experience. Mia is very observant and payed careful attention to the kids while practicing their swing and hitting the ball. When it was time for them to go to the field and learn how to catch Mia took advantage of this time and practiced on her own. She knew the basics, holding the bat and swinging but funny thing is she did a lot better at the swinging and actually having contact with the ball than the older kids. She was so excited when she hit the ball. I have video of that too.

Great news, great news, Joshua is one step further to walking. While we watched Kendra during baseball practice Tuesday afternoon, Selena a little girl from our church was playing with Joshua and assisted him on standing all by himself for the first time. Of course me thrilled to death about his experience, snapped a picture of him before he dropped his bottom to the grass. I felt this was one of those joyous moments that have to be shared with everyone.
Here's a video also.

Mother's Day

Buck just simply out did himself. Don't they look luscious. Well they were. I just wished and prayed it was Mother's Day every day, every day. He prepared everything for Sally and I. Special indeed it was. He even baked a chocolate buttermilk pie topped with ice cream. I don't have a picture of that but believe me, there was absolutely, not even a crumb left. In all seriousness, I want to express my deep appreciation to Buck. After working 14 hours on Saturday, he came home baked the pie as soon as he got home at 10:00 pm, stayed up til 2am to bake and make sure the pie was completely cool before refrigerating it. Then he woke up at 7am to get ready for church @ 8am. We came back around 10:00, he started preparing the side dishes and continued on with rubbing the ribs with the seasoning finishing up with some BBQ sauce. By 2:00 he placed the ribs in the oven and had everything ready by 5:00 which was the time set for dinner. He cleaned up the kitchen and was finally able to take a quick cat nap at 7:00 pm. He was up a little before 8pm to say good night to Kendra and he still found time to sit, relax while we talked a little about the meal, conversation during dinner, the kids and their individual personalities. It is now 10:30pm and I am sitting here typing away with tears running down my cheeks asking myself how very fortunate, lucky, blessed I am to have said the right words, glanced in his direction enough to catch his attention, and to finally say "I love You So!" Be here with three amazing kids and make not a single change throughout our 11 1/2 years of marriage if I had the chance to. "Deep Sigh" I can't thank Buck enough ever for his humbleness, devotion, faithfulness, his ever lasting love for me. I have everything I've ever wanted. That's all I need.

Thank You baby.

Happy Mother's Day Elisa

"A Mother's Day Prayer"

I said a Mother's Day prayer for you to thank the Lord above, for blessing me with a lifetime of your tender hearted love.

I thanked God for the caring you've shown me through the years, for the closeness we've enjoyed in time of laughter and of tears.

And so, I thank you from the heart for all you've done for me and I bless the Lord for giving us the best Mother there could be!

Happy Mother's Day Elisa ~ I Love You !!!
