Did It Really Happen? Easter At The Bren 2011 (BANNED COMMERCIAL)

My boys are growing up!

My boys will turn 6 this week! I still cannot believe how fast the time has gone by. Six years ago this very week, we turned in our paperwork and were placed on the waiting list for our first child. The above picture was taken about 5 weeks later. I love how God already knew who our children were going to be. I praise God for the birthmother who made the ultimate sacrifice here on Earth. She could not provide for her child and chose adoption. What a gift we have. Two amazing boys who are growing up so fast. How blessed are we!
I have to go squeeze my boys now!

Cornerstone Tea

I hosted my first tea table this past weekend. My boys go to an incredible little community school whose sole purpose is to train our children up in the knowledge of our wonderful Savior. This is our largest fundraiser each year. While I attended the tea during the years of teaching there, I never knew how much work it was to put this all together. What a privilege it was to be a part of this. Hopefully next year I can do even more. Between donations, basket assembly, set-up and tear-down...an amazing feat in just over a month of preparations! Unfortunately, this is my only picture of my table. I am definitely a novice when it comes to decorating, but managed to make a pretty table for my guests. Next year, I'll know what to do a little more and then of course take a picture of the table when it is completely done!

I'm 40!

I had to place this picture in B&W, since he is officially over the hill. Yes, I keep hearing that 40 is the new 30. However, since I don't feel like turning 40 anytime soon (PTL, I won't for awhile), I'll keep my 30's status thank you!
We did support my hubby turning 40 by heading for pizza and then our favorite shave ice place. It was cold outside (Miss M was shivering as she happily ate her fill), but we all enjoyed the special treat.
Happy Birthday my love! I cannot wait to celebrate another 40 with you.

Counting Down

My husband turns 40 in just a few short days. Where did the time go? I seem to remember my parent's friends turning 40 when I was in high school. Our own kids aren't even in first grade yet.
Despite that, he's young at heart and always seems to have energy.
I threw him a surprise party over the weekend to ring in this special year. Hoping to post pictures soon!
