All about Dad!

Happy Father's Day Brian! Our boys are really blessed to have you as their Dad! You are always there for them, stern when needed, sympathetic when needed, and there's nothing you would rather do than spend time with them! You have taught them what it means to be a great husband and father! They are so lucky to have such a role model in their life! We love you!

Mama has the baby boy blues!

Whoa! Hold on! Wait! What? Jake just finished his freshman year in high school.  He ended the year with all A's and tested academically advanced.  He started driving school the first Monday school was out.  He's a great driver and I know he will be safe!  I can't believe in 6 months he will have his license and I will have to let him go out on his own! My sweet baby boy is growing up with every blink of the eye! I love you Jacob Walker Rhone!

All good things must come to an end

I decided earlier this year to leave my position at Creative Corners.  After 11 years, it was a tough decision, but I felt it was time to go.  Time to rest, relax, travel with Brian on business trips, and whatever else God leads me to do! I left the corporate world right before Jake was born and began teaching when he was 4.  I will miss the children, but have offered to substitute when needed.  I will especially miss the ladies I worked with, but those friendships will go on! The "J" group (as we called ourselves) will be no more.  Jodi, Julie, Jenn, and Juanita!  Here's a few pictures from our annual celebration of the end of the school! We have deemed the 3rd Friday in May our reunion party for years to come! Change is hard for me, but I think this change was for the best, for my health, and 100's of other reasons. I will miss you girls!

Mother's Day Weekend 2014

Mother's Day weekend in Louisiana at my brother Welby's house.  All of the cousins were there except our Jake.  Wish I (and Jake) could have gone! The occasion was to celebrate Staci's graduation from nurse practitioner school!  We now have a PA in the family! Pictured L to R, top row, Emily Major, Sabrina Walker, Hailey McKay, Ross Guidry, Tyler Rhone, next row, Hannah McKay, Alison Guidry Lindsey, Wendi Major, Ross Walker, next row, Piper Major, Kai Major, Zeph a Major, bottom, Staci Guidry Pitarro, and Sophia Pitarro.

23!

Our first born turned 23 on 4/30! I cannot believe he's that old! Seems like yesterday he was just a small child! He has grown into such a handsome, compassionate man and we are very proud of him! He's finishing up college and will make a great teacher and coach! He loves to workout, spend time with us and his friends. I love you Tyler, my baby you will always be!

My Brothers

There’s no other love like the love for a brother. There’s no other love like the love from a brother. ~Terri Guillemets

In honor of National Sibling Day in April! I love my brothers! Wade, Wes, & Welby

Roll out the red carpet!

I had the pleasure of accompanying Brian on a business trip in March! Los Angeles, Hollywood, and several pacific coast beaches! It was so nice to get away with him and spend some much needed time together! I was totally relaxed, and other than missing my boys, I wanted to stay longer.  We often get caught up living our lives, being parents, and 1 million other things that we forget to make time to remember why we fell in love in the first place!

A sure sign that God isn't discouraged with us yet ~ Spring

I love Spring! I love seeing the trees bud, the grass coming in, and the flowers blooming! Spring brings freshness and hope to the world! A few pictures of my yard welcoming Spring!

I have a new sister!

One of my younger brothers, Wes, was married in February in the Philipines. He met his new bride in Japan while working. So happy for him that he has found his soul mate! Wish I could have been there!  She is so beautiful and loves him very much! Congrats Emie and Wes!

Six months past due!

Well. I didn't intentionally ignore my blog, but computer issues have kept me away! I cannot post pictures in blog via laptop, as it says my software is no longer blog compatible, and am technically challenged in that area!  Not only that, but can't figure out how to post pictures as well from my Ipad. So this post is a test to see if I can somehow maneuver around on my Ipad! More catch ups soon!
