Easter

Dan's uncle is starting a church in Midway Florida so we went to his Easter service and it was great. We went over to their house after church and had Easter dinner with them and the kids did an egg hunt and colored eggs. We had a great time. Here are some pictures.

Jordan's new baseball team

Jordan has moved up from Tball to machine pitch baseball! I was a little nervous for him when we signed him up thinking that since he would be one of the youngest on the team he might struggle a little bit, but boy was I wrong. The kids can actually strike out this year. They get a total of 5 pitches from the machine that pitches 40 mph and if they don't hit one of the five they are out! Jordan has not struck out yet, and he is probably the only one on his team that hasn't! I am so proud of him! His new team is the Rivercats! Here is a picture of him in his first game!

Jordan's Seven Year Old Birthday Party

I have been meaning to put these pics up for a while now. I had them on a different camera and just haven't had a chance to download them all.
He had about 8 friends come out to the fun station and we had a blast!
I can't believe he turned seven this year! Time is going by too fast!

Amazing Hug

Really cool!

Praise Him even when we don't understand

Sometimes it is hard to understand what God is doing in your life. I feel like this is the situation I have been in for quite some time now. Today is one of those day's that it is more confusing than ever. Five years ago today my son A.J. went to heaven. He was an energetic, adorable, chubby, little 15 month old who made me smile every morning. He would crawl out of his crib every morning and we would hear his little footsteps running into our room where he would pull on my arm and say "cup, mama."
I don't understand why God took him when he did and the way he did. My heart still aches when I think about him and wonder what he would look like now. I wonder how he and Jordan would play together. They would be playing little league together right now. I wonder what kind of big brother he would have been to his two little sisters. I wonder how he would do in school, would he be smart, I have a feeling he would be the class clown like his sister Payton. He had the same little attitude that she does. I think he would look like his sister Camryn with his big brown eyes and olive skin. I think he would look up to and challenge his brother Jordan and also be his best friend.
I cannot wait to be in heaven with him and hold him. I don't understand what God is doing in my life right now, but I am trying to trust Him.

Frustrated

I am trying to get into the nursing program here TCC. I will be finishing up my prereqs this summer and I was so excited about the possibility of getting into the program in the fall. Unfortunately I have had a lot of trouble getting my transcripts from Trinity to transfer to TCC. TCC is refusing to accept my credits from TBC because it is a Christian College. Okay they are not actually saying that. They are saying that it is not an accredited college. That is not correct it is accredited nationally and all other colleges including FSU take their credits readily. I was so frustrated yesterday. I went to enrollment services and asked them to please look into the situation and they refused. The lady at the desk told me in these exact words, "Well honey, Bob's Fish School can open up and say that they are accredited but that does not mean we have to accept credits from them." I called Trinity today and they are sending me an accreditation packet to prove to TCC that my credits must be accepted! How ridiculous is that. All they have to do is look online and see that the school is accredited nationally and she would not even bother to look! Anyway, now I have missed the deadline to get into the school in the fall. This puts me back in the classroom for at least another year.
