Thursday Thoughts

Today I'm thinking about...


...Rhett. And how he is turning 13 today!!!! That's right...as of today my one and only boy is a teenager! And we are celebrating him with a yummy meal of his choice, cake, presents, family, friends, and fun. : ) I am beyond proud of this young man my little boy has become. And I am so proud to be his mom. : ) Details on his special day to come soon. Now I'm off to make his favorite...Two Tone Chocolate Fudge. I make it every single year on his special day.  Before I go, here is a quick peek at the past week in our country home. : )


The birthday boy himself with his sisters at the Ed Sheeran concert. : )


We got up early for a beautiful Ascension Day Mass...


and took my beautiful mother to breakfast afterward. : )


Things got really pretty...








really fast...


and we stayed outside as long as we could. : )


And that made us very happy.





Steve broke out the mower again too.


There were soccer games...








newborn baby birds...


and homemade chocolate chip cookies.


All in all...a really good week.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend, my friends!
Enjoy!!!!

    RECIPE? Those cookies look perfect....you must have some tricks up your cooking apron! We've been baking brownies up the wazoo for all these house showings (for that homey smell) but we might need to do cookies...your cookies!

    Your home is looking so beautiful. I love spring.

  13. It is hard to swallow when our babies turn that corner to be a teenager. I so well remember way back when, my babies did. You had a wonderful week as always and your home and grounds are beautiful. Happy Memorial Day to you and yours.
