8 Pictures From Our Day

Technically, this pic is from last night. I spoke at a woman's group at church last night on the subject of prayer. I used to be so afraid of public speaking that it would keep me awake the night before. I would worry about it for days. I don't know if I've gotten over it with age or if it's b/c I have to do a lot more speaking for my job now. Either way, I'm so thankful to not be crippled by that fear anymore. I was a little nervous to get started, but then I actually enjoyed it.

Miles is going to golf camp this week at Darrin's school. He has to come to work with me for the first hour and then I take him over there at 9am when it starts. He could hardly wait to go this morning. He was showing me the different golf grips that he's learned.

The first day he took my clubs b/c he's outgrown his. They were way too long. So, we borrowed some last night. He said he's never hit the ball so far. He's always loved golf, examples A, B, C. It could be his sport if he'd stick with it. I think we found the perfect birthday present in a couple months.

Boys and their video games. Oh and we may have a real fight on our hands with Carson & his pacifier. Not a fight I'm willing to tackle at this time.

Carson was a handful tonight. This is in the middle of a fit. He didn't sleep great last night, so he was probably just tired. He's been a little "off" lately. I may or may not have given him Benadryl tonight. Surprisingly, it calmed his little mood down so much. He was much happier after that.

He does the cutest thing where he hold his breath and clinches his fists with excitement. This was his excitement over cheese :)

Our garden is growing! This is the second zucchini that we've gotten. We ate the first a couple nights ago. Miles said it was the best zucchini he's ever eaten. We also planted squash, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, chives, and watermelon. We'll see how it goes since this is our first year to have a garden. Darrin did a really good job with it.

I prefer that Carson go to bed around 8pm, but lately he hasn't been ready for bed until 8:30-9pm. I think that's too late for an almost 2 year old, but if you try to put him down before he's ready, he screams and cries. If he's ready, he will all but ask to go to bed and lay down willingly. Tonight at 9pm, I asked if he was ready to go to bed and he said "a huh". He gave Miles a hug and kiss and walked to his room. He doesn't get up until 7am, so I can live with 10 hours of sleep, even though I would prefer 11-12.

Miles has since fallen asleep in the exact position of the above picture. I'd say it's bedtime for everyone.
