The Confessing Lunatic

I stumbled upon this website that allows you to make an image of the most frequent words on your blog or website. This is what it came up with for me... Thanks, Wordled.net! You can see it on the Wordled site here .

Today, I spent the day with Jim and our kids at the lake for Jim's birthday. I wanted to share some of the highlights of the day in picture form. Happy birthday, honey. I love you more than words can say. The last nineteen years of my life have been a blast. I can't wait for the next nineteen. Loading the boats...can you see the excitement? Everybody has a job. If you look carefully, Jordan is connecting the battery to the old boat. He'll drive that one off the trailer to the shore. He 's not "legal" until he turns 13 in August. Until then, we limit the time he drives. Jaden standing on the trailer waiting for the boats to be put in the water. He can't wait. Caitlin sitting astride one of the boats. She looks like she knows what she's doing! My job is to pull the trailer off the ramp and park The Beast. Cali took this picture of me while we were waiting for them to finish loading the boats. I took this picture of Cali...isn't she a dol...

Tapas - Tapas are small appetizers originating in Spain. I first learned of tapas while watching Food Network's Rachel Ray's Tasty Travels . When Jim and I were in St. Louis in November, we went to a tapas restaurant and experienced these tasty treats! While in DC last week, I went to a Spanish tapas restaurant. It was incredibly yummy! GatewayZone - The youth website is finally up and running! Check it out at www.gatewayzone.org . I am extremely proud of Jim for this design. The youth are very excited to have a spot on the web that they can show their friends. I pray that it will be a useful tool in helping us as we make His Name famous. My Kids - I am so proud of my kids. I'm quite sure that I don't mention it enough but I just want to share with the world what they are up to these days. Jordan is playing baseball in Burleson. He has played shortstop, second based, right field and has pitched a couple of games. He is also first chair in band - he's l...

Okay...not really in love, love like I love my husband or my kids but I am SUCH a big fan of Jason Castro from American Idol 7. For those who don't like American Idol or just choose not to watch it, take a look at this. You just can't help but feel the same way I do.

I am so excited! The boys had try-outs today in Burleson. There is nothing I love more about having boys than watching them play baseball. I love everything about it...the uniforms, the kids running in the wrong direction, keeping score...all of it. We've heard from both of the boys' coaches. Jaden will be on the Mets and Jordan will be on the Rangers. Jaden's coach called and wanted to talk to Jaden! It was the cutest thing. I'm just praying that now that Jaden is a year older and more mature he will be better than our first experience with him and baseball! Jordan is in Bronco this year, which is 11 and 12 year olds. For the first time I believe, he'll be the older age in his league since every other year we have played him with kids his own grade and not age. It's wonderful to see Jordan excited about starting back up; I think taking the fall off was a good decision. But above all, what I love about baseball is seeing God at work in my boys. Jordan,...

I read my friend Jennifer's blog today and she had taken a quiz on which Sesame Street character she was. I decided to take the quiz too. I came up as the Cookie Monster. I'm not sure why because that's not who I would have picked. I confess...I've taken four or five quizzes now (hence the previous quiz about what year I should have been born in). I'm not really sure why because I certainly have better things to do, laundry, cleaning, sleeping...so in honor of my time wasting, I will post another quiz - "What Color Should My Blog Be." Other than the color, I'm not sure this describes me. Tell me what you think. Your Blog Should Be Purple You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say. What Color Should Your Blog or J...

My mother always told me I was old for my age. I've always felt like I was born in the wrong year. Guess what...it's true. You Belong in 1958 You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! What Year Do You Belong In? Blogthings: Our Quizzes Weren't Written By Bored 12 Year Olds
