UpDatiNg!

So, I'm doing a little updating....!

This is us praying with all of the other couples during the baby dedication at church on Mother's Day~

Maverick finally met his big cousin Steve & Niki :)

And Maw-Maw had a little photo shoot a couple weeks ago because she 

thought Maverick's outfit was so cute!

I Never Followed The Rules

"For me, there is something magical about the creative process. I never followed the rules, I actually broke them every single time.  That's just what came naturally to me."

-Carlos Falchi

I just got a new awesome bag from "mark"-Avon & this was part of the label from the designer..... and there is something about this quote that I totally identified with :) So I had to share it!

Being Flexible

Women are Angels.
   And when someone breaks our wings,
we simply continue to fly.....on a broomstick. 

We are flexible like that.

Inspiration for Monday

One Year Older & None The Wiser :)

Ya, for my birthday!

It kind of stinks for your birthday to be on a "work day", let alone on a MONDAY ~ but I managed to have a great day & I got a little pampered along the way!

My Bestie took me to lunch & to get pedicures, but she didn't pick me up empty handed!

Then, I got a special delivery from my sweet Jared.

Then, we went to eat steak with my family & Jared took me to pick out some new kicks ~

and he surprised me with Adele's new CD (fabulous!)!

We made it the whole day without taking any pictures of me & my boys ~ but Uncle Casey did get this snapshot of Mav on Tuesday (his 2 month birthday!!) !

.... and yes, his hair is sticking straight up ;)

Blessed & Loved - Happy Mommy's Day!!

I had a fabulous 1st Mother's Day ~ I got a very special card from Jared & Maverick that

made me cry (tears of Joy) & then I got a little silver box that had "ZALES" on it .... before I opened it, Jared had told me that Maverick picked out my present & daddy just bought it ;)

A Pink Sapphire!

We went to Church on Sunday, where Maverick along with several other lil' sweeties were dedicated!
We were ssssoooo happy to share this with our families that got to join us :) They gave us/Maverick a sweet gift - "A Tiny Testament" that 's blue with Maverick's name engraved on the front.

 

"As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD. I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD." And he worshiped the LORD there. 1 Samuel 1:26-28 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

 Then, we went to Donnie & Janet's house for dinner (mmmmmm!)
and got more Mother's Day surprises!


Janet surprised me, Amanda & Brittney with a sweet gift - - - it came in another "ZALES" package ;)
All of our gifts were different, but each of them had the birthstone of each of our children.... it was so special. . . This is a picture that I had to take from the internet & my ring is really close to this one.

 

THEN.... (can you believe that there is more?!) Amanda surprised me & Brittney with the cutest gift for me & Mav & Brittney & Syd - Aprons!

This one is for mommy.......

And this one is for Maverick Cash!! Aren't they sweet?!!

Then, we went to go see Maw-Maw & Paw Paw Jones & Grammy Pammy & Pappy Sims :)
After today, there is not doubt that we are blessed & loved!


But on another note ~ Today wouldn't have been possible for me or several other women that I know if it wasn't for the love of our birth mothers (or in our case, our "baby momma" ha ha). I know that every adoption doesn't have the best circumstances, but we are so blessed to have a fabulous "baby momma" that is not just a lady we know,  but a friend. And without her- our life wouldn't be 
what it is today. So, THANK YOU to all of the beautiful souls that have chosen adoption & given us the chance to be the mommies that we are today :) 

 

Granny's Grandkids

Last week we got together at Jared's parent's house  & we got some
