Organizing

A room buried in clothes. I spent the day yesterday going through all Timmy's old clothes and organizing what is now storage but used to be the nursery. The picture below is the before pic: The pic below is the after pic: Woohoo! We are organized!!! It feels so good to have it all done.

Gone Too Soon

The picture above is a picture of one of my childhood friends brother, Patrick. He is gone now. He was crushed between two slabs of marble on his job a little while ago. A life that's been snuffed away. A guy in his twenties, at just the beginning of his life, is gone. In just a moment, at just a glance, or a split second things happen. Please be sure that those you love know that you love them. Take time out of your busy lives and schedules to have quality time with those you love and care about. And make sure you are living a life that is making a difference in the lives of those around you. Live your life on purpose and don't just let life happen to you. Having purpose in your life is having a life that counts. Make it count for God! Patricks life counted! He was a son, brother, and father. He lived well and he loved well! Please keep the Pendry family in your prayers as they deal with this loss. Thank you!

Boys and Toilets

Earlier tonight Timmy flushed these items down the toilet:

I was able to retrieve the ball and one of the cups but not before two of the other cups got flushed down and lodged in the toilet. What to do? What to do? The thought of taking out the toilet wasn't an appealing one for either Scot or me. We weren't looking forward to having to do that but then Scot had an Divine Inspiration, "Go get the big truck. It really SUCKS!". As most of you know we own a carpet cleaning business and have a truck mount unit and it has quite the vacuum on it. While I was upstairs putting Timmy to bed Scot decided he'd give the vac a whirl. I'm upstairs and I hear a noise that sounds like the toilet came out of the floor but found out that it was cup number one that had come up with a thud. So he did the process again and got cup number two. Doing that was so much easier than the other alternative. PTL for a husband who thinks outside the box or the toilet in this case.

Talking with Nan and Pop

Timmy had fun walking around the house this evening while talking on the phone with Nan and Pop. We had the speaker phone on so we all could hear the conversation. I just had to take pictures when he sat in his Mickey Chair talking to them. It was toooooo cute!

"I'm having fun talking with my Nan and Popsie."

Tristan's Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese

Tristan had soooo much fun at Chuck E Cheese. "Which camera do I look at? Too many people wanting to take my picture."

When we first got to the party Timmy said, "Look at all the cool stuff." He was referring to all the games and stuff.

My brother Calvin and his wife April.

Iris ate better than all the kids there.

Which Toy Story movie did he get this idea from?

Our Sheltie, Dexter, is so good with Timmy. They are pals.

Too cute that I just had to post it

I loved his smile and pose in this picture.

"I'm mommies handsome boy!"

My Men!

Timmy chillin' on the deck

Timmy was chillin' while Daddy was grillin' yesterday evening. See if you can find what is wrong with this picture and comment. Scot and I didn't notice until we came back inside after we were done grillin'...lol.

"Yeah, I know I'm the man!"

New Dinning Room Table

One of our repeat clients gave us this table. Our old table was a glass round that seated four. This one will seat six. I am so glad to get rid of the glass table because Timmy kept trying to hang on it and he was running into it. What a nice table and such a huge blessing!!! We've been looking for quite some time for a wood table but everything we saw we didn't seem to like. As soon as I saw this one I loved it. It's an original design made especially for the original owner. I was patient and waited (and those of you who know me well know that I'm not usually a very patient person) and God blessed us with such a nice table. Thank you Lord!!!
