Monday Monday Randomness

Well, hello Monday!

Good to see you again...I think.

It's rainy and COLD for March here in NC!

Where is spring?????

My favorite SIL has a birthday this week! 

His birthday always marks spring coming for me.

I love both of them!!

They both remind me of the goodness that awaits us 

and the warmth that life brings.

 They both are encouraging and bring joy to lots of people.

Welcome Spring and Happy Birthday Big Al!

The TWINSx2 are still hanging out in mommy's tummy!

If nothing happens we expect two babies the second week in April!

Big brother, Baby B, has been sick with a virus and will hopefully stay well now that it is almost baby time!

The *big boy twins* are growing like weeds.

They are 16 months and FULL of energy!

May SPRING slap you in the face this week!!

:)

E N V Y

We are in a series at church called 

SOUL TOXINS.

Today was about envy.

Yikes.

Bob touched on several points. I'll share a few here.

• "When others are happy, be happy with them." ROMANS 12:15 (Celebrate the successes of other people.)

•  If you compare yourself with others, you CANNOT win. 

• Envy is an appetite that cannot be satisfied....temporarily maybe.

• Don't wait until you FEEL like celebrating someone's success.....Celebrate until you FEEL like it.

• Envy is not about you and me. It's a soul issue. Your problem is with God.  (Ouch.)

 

• What if we pray for the people who HAVE what we think we WANT???????

Now I will admit, I've never thought to pray for the people who have what I think I want. 
I love that! 
I think I'll pray for the people who have this:

 

Kidding...not kidding:)

Anyway, this envy sermon got me thinking and I thought I'd do an experiment with hubs. I told him I would guess three things I think he is envious of and he could guess three things he thinks I am envious of. It was interesting.

Try it.

Do you struggle with envy?

Do you pray for the people who have what you want?

Grow Babies Grow!

We are not new to this twin thing..............

But, it is no less EXCITING!

These *Twinsx2* are due in a few weeks.

If the techs are correct they already weigh 5 lbs. each!

Mommy hopes to hold on for four more weeks.

Grow babies grow!

We CANNOT WAIT to meet you.

Will you pray with me as mommy takes care of herself and her family?

It's Been 18 Years!!!!!!!!!

My precious niece, KiKi, turns 18 today.

She is one of the kindest souls I know.

Her heart matches her beauty.

Sometimes hard to find in today's world.

Happy Birthday KiKi!

I can't wait to see what your life holds in the coming year!

Love You!

My Heart

Picture overload ahead:

Jenny Lynn Photography

Look how these cousins are holding hands.

Obviously I love my grandchildren.

But, you know what else I love?

I love that they are cousins.

I love that they live close enough to each other to grow up together.

I love that long after I am gone they will have each other....

......and the memories they made as children.

They have no idea that their afternoon yesterday was a memory.

But I did.

Five Question Friday

Clearly I don't follow through with things I start here on this blog.

Five Question Friday got left behind.

As did the *photo a day* in February.

Themes are not my forte'.

But, I regress, and I bring to you,

1. What was the most productive thing you have done this week?

Hmmm. I guess it hasn't been very productive.

I did keep this baby boy this week:

And I am keeping these two for a few hours today:

 

2. Enjoying the winter or ready for spring?

Silly Question.

19 days and counting..........

 

3. Are you an introvert or extrovert? Is your spouse the same as you?

I am definitely an introvert. 

He is definitely an extrovert.

We go together like salt and pepper though!! :)

 

4. Would you rather go without music or television for 1 year?

Television.

 But oh how I would miss the Duggars.

 I mean someone might get married or something!!! 



5. Have you ever been truly scared of someone?

SomeTHING maybe

but not someONE!


Happy Friday!

Spring is around the corner....

What would YOUR answers be???????

Happy Birthday Hubs!

There is something so attractive about a man who loves his grandchildren.

There is something even MORE attractive about a man who loves his wife.

 Happy Birthday to my main squeeze.

I love you.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Mom is 76 today.

To me, she is just my mom.

I don't stop and think about her age or how she looks.....

I just love her.

My Beach Buddies and I were talking the other night and they commented on how young mom looks for her age.

Yep.

76 looks good on you mom!

Look forward to celebrating you tomorrow.

Love you much!

31 Weeks....Twinsx2

Our DIL, K, is now 31 weeks with twinsx2!

(I call them twinsx2 because they are our 2nd set of twin grands!)

We had a sweet little family shower Sunday.

She soooo wants to make it at least three more weeks before delivering.

I pray she makes it until at least April 1.

Her due date is April 25.

Grow babies grow!

If You Ever Wonder If It's Worth It To Stay Married

It is.

I KNOW he would do this for me.

Click on the above link.

It's three minutes.

It is a promise.

Hold on.

Every year gets better.

Fridge

Didn't realize this was suppose to be a picture of INSIDE Fridge until too late!

Oh well, I love my instagram magnets!

Love Is.....

Love Is........... 38 Valentines together.

Happy Valentine's Day Honey!

Boring

Today's pics are boring.

*Where you ate lunch*

I sat right at my desk and had leftovers.

Told you it was boring.

*Walking*

(blurry pic taken with my phone at 5:30 a.m..)

Nothing exciting today.

Maybe tomorrow will be better!

Entrance

Day 11 is

ENTRANCE!

This is the front door entrance to my house.

We had a friend make the door last year....

It turned out EXACTLY like we wanted!

Guilty Pleasure @ 3:00

Catching up on my daily pictures!

Catch up seems to be a theme here.

Drinking my *guilty pleasure* @ 3:00 today fit both picture days!

I confess to knowing Diet Coke is bad for me.

That's why I feel guilty.

I will admit to drinking less now than I did last year this time....

Baby steps!

Catch Up!

Day 7

Your Name

I answer to a lot of names. 

All of them meaningful. 

Day Eight

Something Orange

My DIL, K, made me a calendar for Christmas. 

One of my favorite pages is this pink and orange Chevron print.

The kids on it are kinda' cute too....don't ya think????

Soft

Day 6/Soft

Day 5

I walked into Cracker Barrell tonight to exchange something.

The SMELL of bacon called my name.

I gave in.

Day 5 of the photo challenge is:

*something you smelled.* 

So, I ordered my bacon, got my camera ready,

and

ate the bacon.

I forgot to take a picture.

So, here's proof I was there.

And I smelled bacon.

 

I'm not too good at this picture thing!

HOPE (Day 4)

"In the morning let me hear of your gracious love, for in you I trust. 
Cause me to know the way I should take, 
because I have set my hope on you."

Psalm 143:8

I cannot imagine waking every morning without the hope that Jesus brings.

Hope is a wonderful thing.

February Photo a Day

Fork. Pattern. E. WHAT?????????

Thought it would be fun to take this challenge.

(I'm joining SHANNON over @ The Willcut Girls Blog)

Just me and my little Point And Shoot Camera!

I'll take a picture a day in February following the schedule below:

I am a little behind, so catching up here!

FORK 

What can I say? They love to eat with cute forks!

Pattern

I really like toile. 

This is the cushion in front of my gas logs.

I sit here every morning with my Bible, my laptop and my coffee.

Something Beginning With E

My favorite five year old girl...EC!

I cheated on the last one.

She is my favorite E but I took the picture a few weeks ago.

I'll do better from here on out:)

Join the challenge! It's fun!

Oh, and today is the Super Bowl...just in case you hadn't heard.
