"A spoonful of sugar......

..helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way!". Buuuut my mommy knows how to brighten my day, and she also knows I don't like medicine and can't have real sugar! :) I LOVE my mother to death! She is my "partner in crime". :) My dad's nickname for her is "Sweet & Low" (evryone gets sooo tickled at that) but you know that saying "dynamites come in small packages"? Yeah. It's very true with my mom! You get to talking about her family or her Pastor and his family......let me just worn you. DO. NOT. DO. IT! Unless you want her to beat you to smithereens! :) My mom is hilarious! Here is a conversation we had a couple of days ago. Mom: "Chas, are you planning on having a long speech at your graduation?" Me: "Umm...yes, Mom. You know me...I love to talk.":) Mom: "Ok. Are you going to say anything about me?" Me: "Of Course!" Mom: "Okay...then I am going to go out when you give your speech." Me: "Why?!" Mom: "Because I am afraid you are going to tell everyone about me not knowing how to load the dishwasher...where plastic goes on top and glass goes on bottom!" Hahahahaha! She always catches me off guard! :) We have the funniest moments together! I am super glad, happy, ecstatic, "awesomeized", and honored to have her as my mother! She is the BEST in the WORLD! She is the GREATEST in the WWW DOT (period)!!!! :) So here are some pictures from Mother's Day. :) ERNJOY! :)

Me and my lovely "sister", Karayan, on Mother's Day

This is like the GREATEST family picture EVER! :)

Everyone is being their normal selves. :)

Dad: Egging me on

Mom: Laughing at my craziness

Me: As normal as can be

Nate: Wishing we would hurry up

Dillon: Just glad to be there :)

Mom and her 'KUDOS' :)

Nathaniel had already changed for the youth outreach we were doing later that day so that was his "reason for hiding" :)

And this is my mom's crosage from this year. One time my dad couldn't find a crosage he liked for her so for about 4 years I have made her crosages...it's our little tradition. Even when I am married I still gotta make 'em for her. :) :) :)

We had an AWESOME day Sunday! The service wasWONDERFUL! I can't wait to see what else God has in store for us! There has been atleast one to get baptized every Sunday of our Pentecost Sunday's so far! God is doing great things! :)

I will soon be posting the pictures from our Springfest this past weekend. And also we have our "Fun Bash" this Saturday. Which is a youth activity. We are going into one our of local apartment complexes and settinng up our mobile truck stage and doing a little fun thing there for the kids. It will be a great activity not only for our youth but also for the kids in the community!

Well, that is it for now! Gotta go get some shuteye. :)

"Peace, Love & Ice Cream...low carb, of course!" :)

Today {yesterday}

What was today{yesterday} you might ask. Well, it was..........

Hahahaha!!!! That it was BUT it was also my lovely mommy's birthday! I can't believe it but she is still young and after 3 kids-2 of them being teenagers AND driving- she still doesn't have one gray hair that we can find. Must be a miracle...especially with all the stress I alone cause her! :) :) :) She is the best mother ever!!! Even though I can stay home by myself now (because I am a big girl now-hehe!) she will still stay with me when I am sick AND make me dinner AND bring me snacks in bed (yes I LOVE food, okay?!) until I am all better! But, more importantly she prays for me and always incourages me to never let anyone get me down and to do whatever I feel like God wants me to do with my life. You know how some people jump 'dreams' a lot? Like one day they want to be a photographer, the next day it's a chef, the next a police officer, the next an interior decorator, the next a lawyer, the next a designer, and etc. Well, with every dream I have ever thought was "what I want to do in life" she (and my dad) always incouraged me to go with it (and FYI: I have never wanted to be a police officer or a lawyer) :) I think it's pretty awesome that the day before her bday I got my buisness cards in the mail....something she has incouraged me to do often! I don't know who is reading this but I want to incourage you to never shut your parents out! They make mistakes (don't we all) but they almost ALWAYS know what is best for you no matter how much we think they are wrong. :) Mom, if you are reading this I want you to know that I love you very much and I will NEVER take for granted everything you have done for me or gave to me...not for as long as I live! Thank you for giving me life-even though I was very stubborn! I will love you always for it! I hope you had a very Happy Birthday....I will make dinner next time instead of you making your own (or how about we go to your favorite restaurant instead? JK! LOL!) Love you, Mom!!!
