Mother's Day

My wonderful family treated me to a nice Mother's Day this year. Tim gave me a half day of beauty at Logan Raye Spa, which included a facial, 55 minute massage, manicure + pedicure. The boys gave me some new headphones for the gym.

I truly am blessed to be a mother to 4 wonderful, sweet, loving, energetic boys.




2nd Grade Trip to the Beach

Tim was kind enough to chaperone Spencer's class on a field trip to the beach last week. They left around 8am and returned at 6:30pm. They went to the Myrtle Beach State Park, Aquarium and IMAX Theater. As you can see, they all had a great time.

Citation Holder

We were contacted a few weeks ago by SC Department of Public Safety, who is interested in having Sullivan's name and picture put on a citation holder for traffic tickets issues by the Highway Patrol. What a way to honor Sullivan and keep his memory alive. These citation holders will be used in our area, which also may include Richland and Sumter Counties, I'm not sure. Anyway, we feel so honored that the Director of SCDPS ask specifically for Sullivan's picture to be used. I don't know if you remember or not, but a new Director was appointed a while back, so he was not in office whenever Sullivan was killed. This goes to show us how much of an impact Sullivan's story has had on SC. We also found out today that not only will they be using the citation holder, but the grant they received also will include several billboards around the state, paper and digital. Again, what a way to honor the memory of our sweet, sweet Sullivan. We are approaching the 4 year anniversary and we can't think of a better way to honor him!

Spencer's Baptism

Saturday was Spencer's baptism. We can hardly believe that he is 8. The baptism was held at the Stake Center on Saturday and the confirmation was Sunday at church. Thanks to all who attended and supported our family on this special day. It really meant a lot to us.

Before Spencer went to bed that night, he cried and said that he missed Sullivan. This gave us some time to talk about Sullivan and remember him. We miss him so much, but his spirit was definately there at the baptism.

What a wonderful blessing to have a husband who sacrafices and gives so much for our family. I am so thankful for the things we have been blessed with.




Easter

Well, well... I'm finally able to sit down and update my blog. Easter has come and gone, I know, but I wanted to share a few pictures. ENJOY!








Sawyer loved the jelly beans, and this coloring table cloth was so much fun for the kids. And it was water proof, so any spills with coloring eggs didn't make a complete mess.
