Well school is officially out and we have 2 happy boys! This has been a great year for both of the boys and once again in a new state and in a new school God has truly blessed them with wonderful teachers and good friends... Next year will be a new setting for both of them, they will both be at different campuses but will take their friends (most of them) with them... We have a fun summer planned with lots to do so I am sure it will fly by but, this is my favorite time of year that I get to spend with my boys and enjoy them without a routine.. This is the time of year where we spend lots of time together doing things,talking and really getting to know each other.. I have been so blessed with these 2, they are now 15 and 12 and I know that pretty soon they will be grown and doing there own thing in the summer so as a Momma I encourage each one of you to spend time with your kids and really treasure each minute you have with them.. ( I know! I know! remind me in about 3 to 4 weeks and see if they are still alive)LOL!.Enjoy them and really get to know who they are!! Have a great summer!!!

Happy Birthday Chuck!! 5-9-09

Happy Birthday to My Amazing Hubby~~ I feel like I just bragged on my anniversary blog about him but I am here to tell you I can not brag enough!! He has to be the BEST husband in the WORLD! He does everything for me and the boys and always has, he put us first before anything he has or needs to do~ He is a incredible man with a heart like no other and loves us so so much and we love him so so much too! We have been married for 20 years and we dated for 4 before we got married, he has always just been so good to me and for me and I am incredibly blessed to have him as my husband!It is has been a awesome journey, we have known each other since 5Th grade and to watch him grow and change into the man that he has become has just been unreal.. He has grown into such a strong christian man and I am so excited that he has the heart for God that he does, he is a amazing example to our 2 boys and again I feel so blessed! Happy Birthday to My Husband, The Love of My Life, My Best Friend and the Best Daddy to our 2 boys~ We hope that you have a great day and we hope you know how much we love you , appreciate you and adore you~~~ YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

Happy 15th Birthday Phillip Taylor Ray!!!

I can not believe our baby is 15!Where did time go?? I remember when he was a baby and a little boy and I would hear someone say their child was 14 or 15 or even 16, I thought wow! they are old..lol:) and their baby is not their baby anymore..And now here we are and we are old:) but he is still our baby! He always will be!! We are so proud of Phillip, he has blessed our lives so much.. I remember praying daily that God would give me a baby.. I prayed and Prayed on my knees I prayed and he blessed us with our sweet Phillip on May 3, 1994', he was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen:) When he was 8 days old he became colicky... OH NO! My sweet beautiful baby boy did not like me..lol so I thought.. ewww weee those were some hard days but when he turned about 5 months he turned into a dream baby, he was so sweet and just so good! He just loved everybody and everyone loved him~ and he is still like that! He is just a good good kid, with a BIG heart and a sensitive soul... of course we have our days who doesn't with a teenage boy with raging hormones.... but for the most days he is great!! God truly blessed us when he decided to trust us with Phillip and he blessed Peyton when he decided to make them brothers.. They have their love/hate relationship but they would not trade each other for anything!!We PRAY that GOD has awesome plans for Phillip's life, we pray that Phillip will continue to seek God and look to him for guidance and direction. We pray that Phillip will be a blessing to all he knows and that in all he does that he will GLORIFY the Lord! Happy Birthday sweet boy.... Don't ever forget how much your family loves you!!!! Thank you Lord for blessing our lives with this child~~
