Workout Play list
Ashley, who's blog I read religiously (such a woman of God, great writer and great photographer...), was talking about her play list while she is working out. I got creative this evening since I can't sleep and put together a BANGING play list and I thought I would share! Ashley... Flo Rida's 'Right Round' is awesome...thanks for sharing your playlist!! I did finally get back to the gym this evening and did 2.5 miles on the treadmill. I might have gone more if I had these songs. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!! :)

Trusting God
On Monday, one of my best friends is moving to Virginia Beach. Tiffany and Brandon are two AMAZING people that I just adore. I've known Brandon for years (since I was in middle school, he in elementary school) and last year when we started going to Mill Creek I had the opportunity to meet Tiffany his wife and Karsyn their little girl. Tiffany and I hit it off immediately and she is TRULY a woman of God. We have had such a great time scrapbooking, shopping, debating that Auburn is the best football team over Alabama (and you know they are....hahaha), and just having long talks. God has called them to a great church in Virginia Beach and Brandon is going to be a youth pastor there. Tiffany has been leading the worship at our church with her amazing voice and her passion for God and music. I am very excited for their new endevor but I am also very sad she won't be down the road every day.
Last week, they lost everything in a house fire. I think of myself in the situation I would have broken and about given up. Not the Hesters. They are SO amazing and they know that God is going to take care of them and provide, and provide He has. Tiff, Brandon and Karsyn, I'm going to miss you guys so much and I'm just preparing you now, I'm going to be visiting you this summer!! My house is always open to you and come back and visit with us! I love you guys!!! By the way...I'm not going to lose it until yall are gone. BRAVE FACE!!!
Having Fun
We had our weekly playdate with the fellas at a different park. They had a really fun time and fed the ducks. Enjoy the pictures!
Cody was saying to me "Look Mommy! It is the AFLAC duck! He's the one that drives the racecar!"
I looked and there was ONE white duck in the lake with all of the other ducks.
Best Buddies!!

Urgent Care Trip
We had to go to Children's Health Care Urgent Care last night. Cody reached up to get a piece of pizza off the pizza stone and rested his arm on the metal rack that pulls it out of the oven. As soon as he pulled his arm off it was a white mark and I was worried it was bad. We headed off to Scottish Rite Satellite Office and they saw him pretty quickly. He has a nice 2nd degree burn across his wrist. They put burn cream on it and wrapped it up very well. He LOVED going there because he got a freezer pop and a Publix truck. We're keeping it wrapped up and the cream on it and he's doing very well with it...I just hope it stays safe!

My little photographer
Look hard and you'll see our squirrel!
Cody was so excited about our squirrel. He had to get the camera and take these pictures. THey aren't the BEST pictures because he took them while inside the back door, but you can see the little squirrel munching down on the peanuts we bought for him.
Daddy's Birthday
Cody decided he was going to pick out Dennis's present himself. He picked out a Matchbox car, a Hotwheel and a toothbrush. Needless to say, Dennis didn't get to keep his presents! :) We had a good time making the construction paper chain and the cookie cake was YUMMY!! We hope daddy had a great birthday!!

Boys just wanna have fun!
We spent ALL day at the playground today. We played with Cooper and Marc for 2 hours and then Jonathan and Joshua met us and we played 2 more hours! They had such a great time and when we got home, Cody fell asleep and slept for an hour (I didn't want him NOT to sleep tonight). This is such a great playground and it kept them entertained!!

Painting the church
Mill Creek Church is finally in our new church facility, but there is work to be done! Everything is coming together nicely and with a fresh coat of paint on the walls, it is REALLY coming together! Notice our wonderful carpet that we must get rid of. But for the time being....we like our Jesus to party! (That comes from my husband...surprise surprise...lol). We would LOVE for you to come and visit with us one Sunday and feel the Holy Spirit!!!
PS...and THANK YOU Jon for introducing me to Big Daddy Weave while we were painting. I LOVE them and have been listening this evening. SO addicted now!
Free Pancakes!
This is his "robot" he built with jelly, sugar and cream packages.
He sorted all of the strawberry items out (his favorite flavor now).
Such a big boy who takes his work seriously!!
Cody and I participated in the Free Pancake Day at IHOP and made our donation to CMN! I love my time with my little man because I know in the Fall it comes to an end when he goes to school. I'm going to soak up every second. He is due for a haircut, so please excuse his shaggy hairdo!

Very Urgent Prayers needed!
Very good friends of mine lost everything today when their house caught fire. Please pray for Brandon, Tiffany and Karsyn Hester. They are all safe, but they even lost their car which was in the garage. If you have anything you might like to donate, please let me know. Karsyn is 2 1/2 years old.

Just updating...
Cody is now registered for preschool in the fall. I'm already having anxiety about it, but I'll survive. His two little friends Cooper and Marc are going to the same school so he won't be 'alone' in the process...but I will! MiMi stayed with us last week to help out by watching Cody on Monday so I could go stand in line to register him and stayed on the rest of the week. We had a great time but it flew by so fast!
We joined a new gym a couple weeks ago and we are loving it! Cody enjoys the kids center and I love my time doing cardio without worrying about him. I'm feeling so much better since I started exercising again.
I think I've talked about this before, but just in case I haven't, we are members of a new church in Buford. We absolutely LOVE our church and the friends we have made. We have recently moved into our new facility and it is SUCH a nice change. Yesterday we painted 2 of the walls and Cody went to Madi's house to play while we painted. He had the best time playing and he was very upset when he had to leave. We are so blessed to have made such good friends and found a church home where we feel comfortable and feel like God is moving!! We would love for you to come visit our church!!
I have just a small favor to ask...I have at least 3 friends who are trying to get pregnant right now and are struggling because they have had no luck and/or miscarriages. Please say a prayer for them and as my pastor Jon says "Ask Big!" We serve a Big God and He can do BIG things!!
Aquarium with MiMi
So my friend Rob in Columbus is the best! I received some GA Aquarium tickets from him so we were able to go with MiMi last week for free. We had a great time even though several of the exhibits were closed for remodeling.
