My baby is growing UP

We have 1 week of school left. I am so sad to think that the first year went by so quickly. It's neat to see how my baby has grown and how much she has learned.

A Mother's Day Prayer for You on Mother's Day

…For the married women who desire to have children and cannot. Also, for the single women who desire children yet are getting weary waiting on a spouse. God understands your situation and we care. “In the name of Jesus, we ask that the Holy Spirit will comfort your heart and give you peace and that our Father God would grant you your petition. Amen.” (1 Samuel 1:2-17)

For the single mom. God understands your challenge and we care. “In the name of Jesus, we ask that the grace of God will sustain you, the wisdom of God lead you, the love of God encompass you, and the provisions of God overtake you. Amen.” (Philipians 4:13)

For the moms with a child who has chosen a destructive lifestyle and is in a physical or spiritual prison. God understands your concern and we care. “In the name of Jesus, we ask that the Holy Spirit would convict them of sin. We ask for the perfect laborers to cross their path. We thank God for their salvation, deliverance and restoration. Amen.” (Proverbs 11:21)

For all the moms who experience grief on Mothers Day because of miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, or a childs death outside the womb.

For all those men and women who experience grief on Mothers Day because of the loss of their mom. God understands and we care. “In the name of Jesus we ask that the Holy Spirit will comfort your hearts and give you peace. Jesus bore your grief so you don’t have to. Jesus we thank you for removing the grief and healing the heart. Amen” (Isaiah 53:4)

In the name of Jesus we pray for all of our mothers on Mothers Day. May God our Father bless you and strengthen you and encourage you. May your eyes be opened that you and others may see that your price is far above rubies and may your children rise up and call you blessed. (Proverbs 31:10-31)”

Tooth Fairy

Aimee lost a tooth yesterday at Ryan's. We put it under the pillow and guess what?

MOMMA forgot! I felt HORRIBLE but I just plain forgot.

So, I told her that the tooth fairy doesn't work on Sunday's because it's a day of rest. I mean, what else could I say? I don't want to spoil it for her at this age. And technically, the tooth fairy (which is ME) doesn't work on Sundays! So, no lies there.

I did call my friend who works at the dentist office and told her about the situation. Aimee has to go get her teeth cleaned today so she is going to stick to the story if it is mentioned.

So FYI, OUR tooth fairy does not work on Sundays! Other days, she does.....I have GOT to remember that tooth tonight!

She won!

Our sweet little Aimee came home today with a gift certificate for $10. It appears that she has won 3rd place in the school art show. All the K-4th classes had 2 kids that were picked to submit their drawings. In the K dept, she won!

Way to go AIMEE!!!

Bunnies do not like baths...

We took Oreo outside yesterday. She really enjoyed going outside. She didn't know at first what outside was but then when she found out, she loved it.

Then, I decided to give her a bath. I realized that bunnies do not like baths....Here are some pictures for you.
It's like she is thinking.....this is SOOO embarassing.
or "Do I look amused wrapped up in a towel?".

And when I put her down, off she ran....or rather hopped.
