It's Been...

A very long week. I am so ready for tonight and to see these people. Everyone have a good, safe, fun, laughter-filled, good eatin', relaxing on the couch with a magazine, country road drivin weekend.

This past weekend

Okay, so this wasn't last weekend, but the weekend before. Yes w tongue is up in the bottle. I couldn't resist. I had to have a Dublin Dr. Pepper after a day of antiquing it with mom.

W. Loves. Horses. Can you tell? We don't get to see hubby's family that often, but when we do we make the most of it. We did a little horseback riding, a little laughing, a little good eating, and a little drinking. (My absolute handsdown favorite wine is made from a winery in Mason called Sandstone Cellars. http://sandstonecellarswinery.com) It's the V (#5). We always have to go get some. This time we got two bottles. I'm happy. It's always good to see his family. Oh yeah, W and W also helped move cattle. Both boys loved it. It's fun to watch W when he goes back home and is working on the ranch. I know he misses it.

So last night...

I made manicotti. And w loved it. Let's just say he kept asking for more. (He ate more than I did). He was a mess. He loves any kind of pasta. So after all his food was now on him. He went straight to the bathtub. I turned around to look at him while I was running the water and just start laughing because I see this really fat belly and skinny arms and legs. Picture the full body profile of the cutest baby that you have ever seen. Imagine them naked with a protruding belly and you would have w. It was hilarious. So I ask him "What are you doing?" He runs and jumps over into the bathtub. I thought I was going to have to rescue him. He also LOVES water. When I say LOVES I mean almost more than w and me. Not really, but you get the picture. He was swimming in the tub last night. He lays on his tummy and laps up the water. Kinda funny. So that was our night.

Wollybooger...

So when we (my sis and me) were little on Saturday mornings while lazily laying in mom and dad's bed watching tv our family did this thing called wollyboogering. You basically count to 3 and tickle the heck out of the other person until they can't take it anymore. Anyways, maybe our fam was a little crazy when we were younger. I don't know. We (W, W, and me) have begun this tradition. SO....this morning while we were counting to 3...Let me dialogue it to you.

W and me: 1...
Werner: STOP...
Us: 2...
W: HUSH...DON"T
Us: 3...
W: NNOOOOOOO...
Us: WOLLYBOOGER...

Anyways there was laughter. BUT, it has me wondering. Does he get told hush alot at daycare? Are there other things to come? (Oh, I know there are) Should I be worried about this? Maybe it's just the mom in me.

Back to it.

Ok, so I fell off the bus about three weeks ago in regards to this diet that I was on. I am back on my diet bus. This body has got to get summer ready! (And lose that last little bit of W weight). I WANT/NEED to get back into my pre-w bathing suits. I know it will be hard, but I will do it. No more fries or soda. Not that I eat many fries, but no more. Fruit and veggies I am here to win this war. This week has been good so far. I WILL WIN!!!! (That is me laughing at the face of defeat.)

Today has been good...

in so many ways.

1. I got a raise!! (Praise to God on this one. Been praying about this. I know that money should not matter but with a little one at home every little bit helps.)
2. I got complimented on what a good job I have done in this position. (Compliments are few and far between in my position)
3. I got to hang out with big W during my lunch.
4. It's a beautiful spring day in Texas.
5. I have the love of so many wonderful people in my life.
6. Relying on Him is wonderful. He does provide when we least expect it.

Easter

Is one of my favorite holidays. Jesus' resurrection. New Life. Alleluia's. Everything about it I just love. As we grew up my mom would always give us our favorite candy and a little something else in our baskets. I remember this even coming home from college and as I grew older it became just candy. Now W has my basket (where mom found the camo ribbon I have no idea). This is very special to me because this is the only basket that I can ever remember having. Now to the weekend details...

Thurs: W had Easter Egg Hunt at daycare. Sat: Mimi, Papa, and I all took W to the Easter Egg Hunt at the PAC where they live. WOW! There were eggs everywhere. We asked how many and they said "Oh, about 2,000." Pictures to follow at later date. Then we just messed around at their house. Then W got his Easter gift from M and P. Wheelbarrow, whirlygig, Reese's Pieces, and the big hit was the bubbles. All gifts were loved by all. That evening we proceeded to dye eggs, but not before W stuck his whole hand in the blue dye. It was great. OHHO! and W shaking his hand everywhere trying to get it off. He loved dyeing eggs and seeing how they would come out a differet color. Sun: Wonderful church service with M and P. W looked like a stud muffin in his Easter outfit. That afternoon P hid the dyed eggs and W found them. What a wonderful weekend.

Say a little prayer...

That He will comfort my heart from looking at the future and calmness to not worry about the next couple of days. Things will go how He has planned. I sit and listen to His love and plans, yet want to know every minute detail of what is in the plan. I need to just sit and not worry. He will reveal it to me when I need to know.

This is my prayer for the week: Father may I be silent yet willing to listen. May I be a companion to Wyatt and may we both be willing to take this as it comes. Steady our hearts on you. May we remember that we are blessed beyond anything at any point in our lives. This is comfort enough. May laughter and fun be abundant in the next few days to come. Amen.

I normally don't use this blog as a means for prayer request, but I do this week as we, as a family, see what is to come.
