Kids say the "cutest things!"

I have started keeping a log of all the cute things my kids have been saying. My only regret is that I haven't started writing this stuff down sooner!
Today was a very busy day for us. Everyone started off the day in a really great mood. Jessie went out of town with some guys from church for some prayer time so it was just the kids and I gearing up for a fun filled day! I decided to take them to the Convention Center to the craft fair. The Easter Bunny was going to be there taking pictures with the kids and I am a sucker for Craft Fairs so I thought, "Hey, this is a two for one special!" I know that my kids are not the craziest about sitting on the lap of people dressed up in costumes so I called in backup and had my mom meet me at the Craft show.
I decided to put Hannah in one of her cute dresses that she got for her birthday, just IN CASE she would sit with the bunny. I changed her diaper and was standing her up to put her dress on and she put her head down on my shoulder and started patting my back and said, "I wuv you TOOOO much momma!" My heart just melted! I am telling myself that she meant to say, "I love you SO much momma!"
So we went to see the Easter Bunny. They wouldn't even let me get close to him! They wanted to look at him from across the room! Oh well, maybe next year. I had fun though! I bought a couple of bows for Hannah and some cute bags for Mason and Hannah to carry their crayons and coloring books to church.
After the craft show we had two birthday parties to attend. Both parties were so much fun! Olivia and Sadie's mommas sure know how to throw a party! On the way home I started thinking that I need to start thinking about Mason's birthday party. So I asked him what kind of birthday party would he like to have. I had to explain to him what I meant at first because he didn't understand what I was saying. He then very casually said, "Oh, I want to have a guitar party, because you know I am all about guitars!"

Introduction

Okay, I am going to try and keep a blog about what is happening in our family. Several of my friends have inspired me to do this. I don't think my posts will be as interesting as Jennifer's or Sara's.
We still have our house on the market. It is very slow, but I know that God has a plan. He is in control of the situation. I wish I knew exactly what that plan was, but all I know is that His timing is Perfect. The struggles that we are going through right now are just bringing us closer to Him.
Mason is getting so big. He says things every day that makes us smile and think, "Man, he sure is getting big." He will be finishing up his first year of preschool soon. He has done a great job. I was worried at first because he is so shy. He wasn't talking much to anyone, not even his teacher. Now I know what it is like for the parent that comes to me during a parent teacher conference and says, "Does my child have any friends that he plays with?"
Hannah is a totally different child. She usually doesn't have a shy bone in her body. She is ALWAYS on the go and very rarely has a down moment. She has to sit in time out quite frequently. She is getting interested in the potty. She isn't very consistent yet, but it won't be long! I can't wait until I don't have to buy diapers anymore!
