My Nephew Cole

My nephew Cole is 3 years old. The thing that makes him different than most 3 year olds his age is that he LOVES superheroes, and crayola crayons, and when it comes to coloring his superheroes, and he defiantly knows the difference between the red spiderman and the black spiderman and he is very specific about what colors they should be. 

Recently in nursery he was asked a very specific question about Jesus Christ, he was asked whether or not Jesus was a superhero.

The teacher couldn't see his face, but noticed the long pause. The teacher then explained that Jesus is her hero because he fights for good. She asked what color he thought Jesus should wear. After another long pause, she pointed to the pictures on the wall of Jesus wearing white robes.

"White?" The teacher heard him ask. "Jesus should wear red," he said.

This is just part of the reason I love children. I have the opportunity to be with them each Sunday in the nursery. I believe they are our future leaders and truly teach me more than I teach them.

What!

Nothing better than an upset is there!

"Real" Housewifes..

I have gotten interested in the show the "Real Housewifes Series". Call me crazy, but this is not my idea of a "real" housewife.  I must say I get a kick out of watching the show. I think to be a house wife you need to 1. be married , 2. have a personality, 3.  be kind

I would like to put together my own show, it would be full of real women,  LaRae Moss, Tauna Egan, Janice Nestman, Kay Baker, and Karren Garrett. Believe me this would get much higher ratings that what they have on TV now.  

Dad

My dad retired a week ago. It was one of the neatest experiences of my life. I knew my dad was a great man, but to be able to see others recognize him made it so much more special. I love my dad, he is my hero and I strive to be more like him each and every day. 

He is the best grandpa I know and a wonderful father.  My favorite book is "To Kill A Mockingbird" in that book towards the end, as Atticus has lost his trial, the blacks are sitting in the balcony and out of respect for him they all stand, Scout is confused by this, Calpurnia says, "Stand up, your fathers passin." I can say I would stand for my father any day. 

My dad is a great inspiration to his family, I recently found a quote that said; " Don't raise your son to be a hero raise him to be a son and then he will be a hero, even if it is in your own eyes." I know that your parents think of you as a hero. I know that your kids do. I love you dad. 

MYSTERY GIVE AWAY!

I have seen this on both of my sister-in-laws blogs. I decided to bite the bullet (so to speak) and take the challenge.

The first 5 people to comment on this post will recieve something made by me...but there is a catch;here are the rules:

1. It's my choice what to make...and you won't know know what it will be until you get it!

2. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make, but I hope you do!

3. What I create will be just for you.

4. I will be done this year. (hopefully well before that) :)

The catch is that you must re-post and offer the same giveaway to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. It's all about sharing the love!

(If you don't have a blog you can choose a few people to send something fun and homemade too, and then hope that they do the same).
