March 12th

Today is my sister, Kathryn's { aka Khaki } birthday! Happy Birthday, Seester!

This pretty much sums up our relationship! She is my best friend (other than my honey bunny biscuit, Daniel) and I'm so thankful that we got over the whole torturing, hating, punching in the face stage. 

Just want you to know that I cherish you. I am proud of you. I admire you. I love you. So thankful for you. You are the funniest person I know. ...besides myself. Happy Birthday! May your heart be filled with beautiful blessings on your special day and everyday after. God sure did bless me and everyone that knows you, when He placed you in our lives!! xoxoxoxo

just another snowy day in Indiana

A big thank you to my sweet friend and fantastic photographer....White Harvest Photography.

Simple Game of Chess

So my kids are really into playing chess right now. They are 5, 6 and 7. Here's the thing. They do not know how to play chess?!?! It's hilarious because they think it is just like checkers. Who am I to tell them they are wrong? I myself have NO CLUE how to play chess. So my Kolton is begging me today to play chess. "I'm sorry brother, I don't know how to play." "It's easy Mama," he says, "It's just like checkers except for checkers doesn't have a clock you hit when you get to the other side." Not too confused, but interested in his answer, I ask..."What's the clock for?" "Well, instead of saying king me, when you get to the other side, you hit the clock and say, check me. So come on let's play." I have to say, that is pretty good insight. I mean why else would they be hitting a clock at the end, right? Oh, how I love how their little minds work. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play a game of chess.
