This blog is about our family, who have dealt with the loss of two sons with Muscular Dystrophy, the adoption of a son diagnosed with Agenesis of Corpus Callosum and the birth our a healthy little girl. It's a crazy life, but we are loving it.

Share A Laugh Sunday

I love this video. It's from one of my favorite tv shows, Wretched TV.

It's funny, yet such a great demonstration on how our prayers probably sound to our Lord.

Enjoy!

Happy Father's Day! I hope everyone had a great day! I'm behind in my blogging, but I thought I'd share this with you!

Remember last month when my work held a Law Enforcement Memorial and Mark spoke there? Well the event made the paper. The front page to be exact.

And look who made the front page!

Ha! I finally make the front page of the paper and it's half of the back of me! Sheesh!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Yeah, I can't blame this woman! I can't even look at National Geographic magazines if snakes are in them!

This is the last week of school! I hope everyone has a great week!

I saw this on Pinterest and I laughed and laughed because I think this is what Ethan would do if I put a note in his lunch! Too funny!

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day.

Emily made one of those fill in the blank Mother's Day questionnaires at school and gave it to me for Mother's Day. It was so funny that while I was reading it I was laughing and Emily thought I was making fun of it and got mad at me!



I love those little questionnaires and I will treasure them forever. My little ones won't be little very long.  

Apparently, according to Emily, my favorite activities are cooking and taking naps. So, I think I need this shirt I found Pinterest!

Share A Laugh Sunday (Birthday Edition)

Happy 35th Birthday to me!  I remember when I turned 30 I cried, but now I realize that having a birthday is a great thing! It beats the alternative... being dead!

Actually, I'm very thankful that the Lord has blessed me with 35 years on this earth. I have a wonderful husband and two wonderful, healthy children. Every day God's mercies are new, and I am so thankful for each day He gives!

And I've been keeping a mental tally in my head all along! This is genius!

Just kidding!

Have a great week, Jennifer

Do you ever get the Sunday Night Blues? I do.

You know, it's Sunday evening and Monday is coming. I need to make and pack lunches, set alarms, make sure backpacks are ready to go, make/eat/clean up supper, get the kids to bed early and look at the weather for the week because #1. I live in Texas and it's 90 degrees one day and then it's in the 40's the next and #2. It never fails that I will iron everybody's outfits for the week (without checking the weather forecast) and it will always end up being the opposite.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful for my job. I'm thankful for it while we are in the season that we're in (husband is finishing up 2nd master's degree & trying to get his teacher certification). But if you've read my blog for any length of time, you know my dream is to be a SAH mom and make totally awesome cookies on the side. Between batches of cookies, I could totally iron some clothes!

So when I saw this ecard, I knew I had to share!  So here's to the Sunday Night Blues! I gotta go now. I need to iron a weeks worth of laundry.

Share A Laugh Sunday

I found quite a few funny things on Pinterest lately and I thought that I'd share some for Share A Laugh Sunday.

This is true. I rarely get on Pinterest but sometimes there is absolutely nothin' there and then there are times I hit the jackpot and pin like crazy.


I pinned this one in honor of my husband. He had a pair of ugly, grey sweatpants for years, and he called them his happy pants because once he put them on, he was staying home and wasn't going anywhere!


Because I'm a woman...

I totally feel like I'm trying to keep up with 10 things at any given time.


Because I'm going to be 35 in less than a month...

And because I'm a mom...

Share A Laugh Sunday (On Monday!)

Last night Ethan and I went to a church in Pflugerville, Texas to go see christian comedian, Dennis Swanberg. I've seen him several other times and we watch his videos at home and on YouTube, so when I heard he was coming to Pflugerville, I was so excited! I knew we had to go. Unfortunately, Mark needed to try and finish up a paper and a project for school, so he had to stay home. I took Ethan with me and we had a wonderful time!

I'm always nervous when I'm not sure where I'm going, but I was able to find the church easy and once we walked in, we spotted a couple that goes to our church, and we sat with them.

A few minutes after the program started, I hear my name called from behind me and I turn around, and there were two lovely ladies from our old church! I was so glad to see them. They are precious, precious ladies who mentored me and I know for a fact prayed for me and my family through the birth, life and death of Chandler and through the adoption of Ethan. It was a wonderful reunion.

Ethan and I had a great time. We laughed and laughed and I was so glad that it ended up just us two. I put my arm around him and hugged him all through the service. I was so glad that the Lord gave us this special time together.

Ethan had my camera through the program and tried to take pictures but none of them came out! Bummer, I wanted to remember our fun night!

But in honor of our night of seeing the hilarious Dr. Dennis Swanberg, I'm posting one of his videos. I love it when he talks about his mom and dad and he does some spot-on impressions! So I hope you enjoy, it's an older video and it's a little long, but this is a great story!

Share A Laugh Sunday (Easter Edition)

Happy Easter! Christ the Lord has risen today!! And I am so thankful for what my Jesus has done for me!

While at church this morning, the first song we sang was "Christ The Lord Is Risen Today" and while singing it, I was reminded of this video. And the more I thought of it while singing the song, I laughed and laughed, to myself, of course!

So I thought I would share the following video... enjoy!



Oh this poor guy! Thanks to the internet, his goof will live forever.

But in all seriousness, I am truly thankful for God's son, who came to this earth, lived as a man, died and rose again. He took on death for mankind. He took on our sins and made them His own. I will never be able to express how truly thankful I am for that, and I am His, and He is mine. Because of that, I will never walk alone.

If you don't know the one and only God, I beg you to seek Him. We are all in need of a Savior, and only Jesus can save us from our sins.

Share a Laugh Sunday

I think everyone could use a silly, cheap laugh! I know I could.  Enjoy this NASCAR prayer from a pastor in Tennessee who I think is more than enthused to be at this speedway. Enjoy!
