Merry Christmas to all

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry CHRISTmas! We will be down in Florida for the celebration. So may everyone have a blessed Time. I wont be posting until we get back. Not looking forward to the 70 degree weather, had to pull out our shorts from storage but it will be a nice time with family.

This picture was taken at Jacob and Jessica's school. Their last day of school until after the Christmas break.

God Bless, Jennifer and Family

NOT ME Monday......

Well this is my first attempt at Not Me Monday....so here goes.

I did not let the children stay up until 11 pm watching a movie with a friend and they did not wake us up at 6:30 AM the next morning.
I did not lock the bedroom door yesterday so that I could get a few moments of piece and take a very long nap....
I did not bring down some christmas gifts for my children and put them under the tree, and then I did not put them back up in the attic so Jessica would stop bugging us about opening them and shaking them to figure out what they are.
I did not wrap 100 bright christmas lights around my sons bed so he could have some christmas decorations only to light up the whole room.
I did not mail out the last of my christmas cards today only to stand in line for 30 mins.

Well thats about it.

Love Jen and the family

Happy 8th Birthday our Precious Baby Boy......

Today is Jacob's 8th birthday.....time sure does fly by.









It seems like just yesterday you were our little boy running around saying "I AM TWO....I AM TWO...."
You are so precious to us and we Praise God for giving you to us.
You are so special. We love the way you laugh at almost anything....you have such a joy in your eyes.
You are a precious big Brother to your little sister and so giving and gentle with her. I am thankful that you both play well together and I pray that this love and support will continue as you get older.
You have such a sweet and sensitive heart towards others and may that continue to grow and last.

Thankyou Jacob for bringing us Joy in our lives. Thankyou Lord for giving us this precious gift.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY our precious baby boy.....

We love you....Mommy and Daddy.

Wordless Wednesday

GOD's Sense of Humor

I wanted to share a simple thing today......Tomorrow which is Weds. I was planning on getting the oil changed in our car. Well today I was thinking about and asking God how to plan my day out so that I could have time to work out at the gym, pick up an item at our church, GET THE OIL CHANGED IN THE CAR and also have time to clean the house and pick up the kids from school. I have to say that he answered that tonight. I have to chuckle. I went to the gym this afternoon after work and then went to start my car up. WELLLLL it would not start. It did start up BUT then it would die. GO FIGURE. I also had to pick up the kids right then too from school. SOOOO Mark went and picked up the kids and we called a tow truck. Not sure what is up with car BUT at least I dont have to worry about getting the oil changed. HEE HEE>

We tried to get a rental car tonight also BUT couldn't so looks like I will be home tomorrow and have plenty of time to clean the house. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS even in the strangest ways. I am learning to laugh about the stressful moments too. PRAISE is that our car is still under warranty.

Have a blessed day.
Jen and the family.

Childhood Fun

Well I have to say that this week was a week of laughter and memories. My beloved son Jacob is 7 years old and such a boy. Jacob has become very excited about his new goldfish that he won at a fall festival (oh joy) and everyday he checks on them and says "HI FISHHY" Well the other day he came running out of his room SOOOOOO excited because one of the goldfish had pooped. He still talks about that and I am so glad he has some joy in his life....hee hee.

THEN Jessica our 6 year old daughter has decided to start sleeping in her closet. Last night she announced that she was sleeping there and even made a "bed" with all her animals and pillow. I am surprised because she even got up to go potty and still went back to "bed" in the closet. My hubby got up this morning and was wondering where she was...he was concerned. (he worked last night so didn't know she was doing this) I calmy told him she was sleeping in the closet and sure enough there she was. She wants to do it again tonight. Whatever floats her boat I say.

Peace and Grace,
the Perry family.

Fun Family Time

Last weekend the children had a four day weekend so we took advantage of it. What a great time we had.
We went down to Myrtle Beach, SC on Friday afternoon and stayed until Monday. We enjoyed playing on the beach and it was still warm enough for them to take a few dips in the ocean too.







We have made it a tradition to stay at a resort down there that has an indoor water park. I highly recommend it. Its the Dunes Resort check out http://www.dunesvillage.com/ What a blast we all had on the lazy river, the water slides, water submarine and hot tubs. We are looking forward to going back real soon.
If you check out the website you can get some really great off season deals. We are going back in December with my parents.


Have a great rest of the week.
I am going to get under my electric blanket and get toasty and get some sleep.

Peace and Grace

Jen and Family
