P.S. My garden and some nice cards!

Wednesday

HAPPY 4th ANNIVERSARY, Jason! I'm so thankful for my husband. He is so patient and kind and thoughtful and generous and he never gets upset.

Mom and Dad came for a visit over Memorial Day! They gave us a WELCOME mat and the curtain rod and a beautiful tea set from Taiwan!



As suggested by Dad and Mom, we got a bathroom mat and a bathroom trash basket at the Dollar Store.

Friday Pictures...

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! Just a couple of pictures for all of you!

We saw this vehicle in Lapeer a few days ago. HUGE WHEELS, eh?

Jason posed on the bus during a JV outing, so the kids gave him the picture on Sunday.

We are looking forward to going with WHITES to Chicago this weekend and then being with Mom and Dad over Memorial Day!!! We can't wait for them to see the house! Our little garden has seedlings!!!! How fun!

Flowers....

The Lapeer East choir gave me flowers for accompanying their spring concert! They are beautiful, don't you think? Jason received the pink rose for turning my pages. (Ha!)

We enjoyed having our friend over for lunch on Friday. He's helping at the office this summer. I snapped a few pictures of a frosted angel food cake and the table with Grandma Schmitt's dishes.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Mom…
Thank you so much for being such a loving, thoughtful, kind, generous, encouraging, and hard working Mom!

Thank you so much for continually demonstrating to us what it means to sacrificially give of your time and gifts and love.

Thank you for all the times you put others before yourself. Thank you for all that you do to encourage us each day!

We love you so much! We wish we could be with you tomorrow!

Not our typical Saturday....

We were really looking forward to this weekend, especially since Jason had a really busy week... township board meeting Tuesday night, 6AM Business meeting Wednesday morning, and late nights at work both Wednesday and Thursday!

Friday night finally came so we decided our yard needed to be mowed! Jason did a great job, but had to detour around a mother kill deer bird who wouldn't budge from her eggs that were laid right in the middle of the lawn. She was one mean bird -- if we got to close to her, she would flare her wings and scream! She scared the living day lights out of us a few times! I definately am not wishing her a happy mother's day! As Jason was mowing, I was cleaning up the multch area and as I was poking around and moving dirt, I scraped a hard piece of "rock" that jumped out at me! I screamed so loudly that the whole neighborhood heard and Jason stopped mowing... all for a TOAD!!!

Saturday we had the memorizing competition winners over for a musical cookie & ice-cream. We enjoyed playing with them!

Then we got some of our furniture! Notice the beautiful dishes that are displayed for the first time since we were married! It only took us four years to do it... not bad, eh?

Have a great MOTHER'S DAY! We really love our MOM!!!!

Sunday School

We had fun in Sunday School decorating the Peeps (in memory of the baker who died in Genesis 40.)

SATURDAYS!

What fun we had today!

We got to mow the lawn for the first time -- thanks to Daniel for his lawn mower!

We sat outside in the sun!

Jason grilled out for dinner.

We visited the Chilly Cow, a cute ice-cream shop in Attica, where my friends just started their own business! We went there tonight and the owner gave us free ice-cream!

PEEPS on CLEARANCE!

Rach - the Queen of Peeps - this picture is all for you!

We got 2 of these kits for our JV Sunday School class. They were only 17 cents each!

Jason's been teaching the story of Joseph (and we just got to Genesis chapter 40 about the Butler & the Baker) so hopefully we can somehow tie everything together.

Any ideas?

Walk through our home!

We were home for the first weekend since we moved to 367 Wildflower! We spent nearly the whole weekend getting everything ready for guests to arrive! NOW WE JUST NEED GUESTS! The pictures show some of our upstairs rooms! Sorry for the side ways pictures! We are doing this late at night!

We had many "firsts" today! We bought our first furniture, grilled out for the first time, hung curtains, etc.!

Our friend, Mike, was so kind to spend his evening bringing over the fridge and getting it all ready for us to use!!

Here is the sofa we bought... the love seat is the color of the pillows...... the white coffee table was included! The dining room set and baker's rack aren't the same color or style as this photo, but very similar! In fact, the seat cushions match the sofa set!! Everything came together!
