Okay, so your probably getting tired of these posts. Sorry, one left! Part of the reason I blog is for all of our out of state family and the other reason...for me! It's my way of journaling our family so we can look back on life. Sooo....
We finished up our week with a birthday party for all our May birthdays. We celebrated Lynette's, Jeff's, mine, and my mom's. We bbq'd some very yummy kabobs that Shaylah and Shannen helped me put together. We all exchanged gifts and then we hung out visiting.
Sunday was actually my birthday and Mother's day. The kids and Duane showered me with some fun gifts. The little girls each made me a coffee mug and a travel cup that they colored and decorated themselves. I also was blessed with flowers to plant, some picture frames, a pretty candle holder, a dove figurine, windmill cookies, (my favorite kind) a rooster clock, and a birdhouse. Duane got me a new sewing machine and also an iPod. We had been saving up for a family iPod for quite some time now and we were almost there. He chipped in the rest and surprised me for mother's day. I was totally surprised with that one. I'm technologically challenged so I'm going to need Shyloh and Shaylah to teach me how to work it. I told all this kids they can each have their own play list! They are excited for that too!

(Do you notice Lolly in several pictures? We had many more pictures than this and she would run over by me anytime someone got ready to take a picture. LOL Silly girl she is!)
The week just wasn't long enough. We enjoyed each day having daddy home. Duane and I were able to sneak out in the mornings several times and just take Shylie with us on a long walk. There is something wonderful about uninterrupted conversation. To talk about our dreams and hopes, things concerning the children, and even just the weather. It's just about being together. We are already looking forward to August!
A week just isn't long enough!

Vacation week was so much fun!!!!
HI! My sweet friend, what a joy and a blessing to me to sit and read the goings on with the Ney family. You inspire me so, if I ever I need a blessing I shall read your blog... You my dear friend are as close as one can come to Proverbs 31. I just love you and thank the Lord for you all.
