A little pink note

pink noteSo Jen is helping her mom do a large catering job for the entire month of July, which means she is away about 3-4 days (& nights) a week, which means I’m in charge of the kiddo’s (I know, scary). So we’ve been eating alot of cereal, apples, bananas, and mac & cheese, watching alot of movies, and working in 1-2 hour shifts while kids eat & sleep.

I came home from church yesterday and spent about an hour with her and the kids before she had to leave. Later that night when I went upstairs, I found this little pink note on the mirror. We’ve been getting into the habit of leaving eachother notes every once in a while, just telling eachother how we feel, how much we appreciate & love eachother. So it was so cool to find this little note. Here’s a couple little excerpts:

…just a little note to say hi…

…I am so blessed… 2 beautiful kids… a husband who loves me…

…today a church Miles’ teacher told me he said his memory verse… he prayed for snack…

…thanks…

…you sounded great today!

Wow, don’t I feel great!

What have you done lately to make sure your significant other knows how much you love them?

Miles’ Picks

miles picksMe and Miles were talking tonight (he’s 4 and a half) about music - he loves it. He can pretty much sing all these songs word for word - here is a list of his recommendations:

All We Need is You - Charlie Hall
How Marvelous - Chris Tomlin
You and Me - Lifehouse
We Win - David Crowder Band
Over You - Daughtry
Home - Daughtry
Holy is the Lord - Chris Tomlin
Marvelous Light - Charlie Hall

I’m sure this list is not affected by the fact that we are playing 4 out of the 8 songs this weekend…

A Perfect Night

Tonight was one of those nights… We had dinner at Pat & Oscars with one set of Grandparents, when we got a call from the other set of Grandparents - they stopped by to say hi to the kids. Then we took a walk around the duck pond in a perfect southern california summer sunset. We are blessed.

Happy Birthday Joshua!

Miles’ best little buddy, Joshua had his 4 year old party last night - it was a blast! It was at Pump it Up - a local bounce house, crazy birthday joint. I think I worked off about 10lbs playing with the kids, racing through mazes, sliding down the giant slides, and just having a great time. Both Miles and Macy had fun, our whole family had fun, so much fun in fact that I TOTALLY forgot that I had to leave early for rehearsal. Now you know that we were having too much fun! Thanks Beemans!joshua beeman

America’s Funniest Videos

So we were over at the Grandparent’s tonight. Uncle Kevin decided to take Miles on a quad ride, which he absolutely loves. And of course our dog, Java had to get in on the action - she loves riding on the back. Only thing is, is that she doesn’t always hold on too well…
