veggies, veggies, veggies

april 113a april 110 april 111

In honor of Earth Day last Thursday, I was going to post pictures of our garden, but didn’t. So I’m doing it now! I really love the raised planting bed Jeff built me for mother’s day last year. It has a sprinkler built in so all I have to do to water it is flip the switch. NICE WORK JEFF! We loved getting veggies from our garden last year and can’t wait to start collecting them this year.

PAPA

Papa came for a short visit last Sunday night. The boys loved his motorcycle.  Tanner cried when he left, I think it broke papa’s heart. Conner has called “papa” all week. Papa come back soon, and bring Mimi!

We have had a busy few weeks. Last weekend we went to Mexico Beach for he annual CW Roberts Golf Tourney. We stayed in a really nice house across from the beach and it had a pool. The boys had fun in the pool and Caydan came down to play with them too. Tanner swam great. Conner wasn’t scared to go out in the swim ring. We went down to the beach too, but those pictures are on Sarah’s camera. I’m so excited about how much fun we are going to have with these boys this summer.

Last Monday we went to the Jr. Museum in Tallahassee. Mamoo went with us because Sarah wasn’t feeling well. We had a picnic and played on the playground (which I think was the boys favorite part). Then we walked around and looked at all the animals. The boys really liked the snakes and the bear. The bear was up on its dock and it looked huge, but it was no match for our ferocious boys. Conner called everything with 4 legs a '”puppy'”. Our attempt at a group shot turned into a wrestling match between Conner & Nate. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. We just have to go back before it gets too hot!

Wordless Speechless Wednesday

This is an email I got from Ms. Freida, Tanner’s Kids Church Teacher.

Tanner's Prayer Request‏

From:
 Freida Ritter

To:
Cari McSpaddin

For the past few times we've had Kids Church, Tanner has requested prayer for you because you were still doing it.  Sunday we finally found out what you were doing..... He asked us to pray for you because you were still spanking him.    We suggested that we pray for him so that you wouldn't have to spank him.  He said yes.

It's just too precious & cute.  We had no idea what you were doing.  I hope he doesn't get too discouraged because his prayer isn't being answered.

Love ya!

Freida

Oh, my, I’m speechless!

I love my…

cookie

Conner loves Cookies. He says, “coo-coo-kie”. The other morning he got a bag of cookies and sat down beside the fridge to eat them. He is funny about things that he loves. He really loves shoes too! As you can tell, he has on his pj shirt and his shoes, which he goes into his closet and picks out, then brings them to me to put them on. I love this Kid, and his cookies and shoes!
