Sweet Cheeks!

 

Look who stopped by to visit Aunt Marla, my little sweetie Cassie who is now 7 months old, she loves her Aunt Marla!

Preparing....

We are getting ready, preparing for Lent, and I have so much on my heart to be grateful for.  This journey begins next week with Ash Wednesday, are you ready?

Look who's driving...

There are so many times when I question my decision to stay home, but I know deep down in my heart I am exactly where God meant me to be...  Monday morning and we are heading out the door to take Noah to school and of course, I have an appt., when I got in the car I noticed that the back door on the passenger side was open, and probably had been all night...  and sure enough, dead battery! 

 

You know, sometimes we forget how good we have it, take things for granted.  I know I do, and I lose patience, but I was pretty proud of myself because I didn't get upset, although I knew Noah expected me to be...  I just told him he didn't do it on purpose, it was an accident.  My tendency is to go into panic mode because my Mom would have...  but I'm not my Mom (I do love her and I only have 1, remember she had 7!) 

 

I think I felt worse about the fact that I had to go inside and wake up Johnny to come out and give us a jump, my husband, is quite a man. He didn't even get upset - he never gets to sleep late but today he did....  he just got up, got dressed and went outside, never got angry or seemed annoyed. I told him I was sorry and so did Noah, his response "you don't need to be sorry, that's what I'm here for". 

 

I cried all the way to take Noah to school, praising God for the blessing of this wonderful man.

 

Go Blazers!

 

My baby in action on the court...  Noah has gotten quite good at basketball.  I am so proud of my little man.  His cousin, who is a senior in high school this year, works for the after-school care program at Noah's school.  Brandon practices with Noah almost everyday and you can surely tell.  Noah says he's going pro, we shall see!

Hi Sunshine

It has been warm here in Texas, and I have to say it, Winter left us high and dry...  I have a new scarf I haven't even gotten to use, a beautiful lilac colored scarf hand-knitted just for me..

boo....  oh well, it has been lovely weather, today is gorgeous, although I do hope it stays this way for Noahs party on Saturday, we'll see...

This is my first time having his party at the house, and I'm not going to say I'm not nervous, because I am...  We'll see how it goes!

And the day was great...

 

Wrapping it up at home in the evening with his homemade banana cake, my first attempt at a 3 layer cake.  I will say it tasted wonderful, but it wasn't a very pretty sight...  It can only get better, right?  I always say, my cakes aren't always pretty but they are delicious!

 

Yummy

The birthday boy chose his favorite spot for dinner, enjoying Olive Garden with his Grandma and family and friends...  His big party is this weekend.  Prayers are welcome!

 

Happy Birthday to my sweet boy!

 

My little sugar turned 8 years old on Monday, I can't believe how fast time passes by, Makes my heart skip a beat..

 

Here he is on his birthday morning ready to go off to school, and the number 8 jersey was not intentional! 

 

Here's to all the joy you bring to our lives and many many more happy, love-filled, blessed years Noah Croix Sauceda!  Happy Birthday my love!

Love...

 

Do you LOVE my new pendant, a very sweet gift from an older couple that attend our church for my belated birthday...  I just LOVE it, who wouldn't want to wear LOVE all day!
