Update!

I was just wanting to update everyone on my last few weeks. So far I have been consumed by girl scouts fall products sales and my child being sick and me being sick and some drama. I am not a "dingy" person and actually I usually catch on pretty quick when something goes on in my world. However, this past few weeks, I have been strugling with this perticular issue. I dont catch things as quickly as I once did. I just realized a few things and I just feel so enlightened. I feel referbished and renewed. Yeah for me.
During this past week I had yet another cousin to be killed in a house fire and I was really freaked out by it. It has only been since June that my cousin here in TN was killed the same way and now another cousin in FL. Just a bit overwhelming to say the least. I will post more when I have more public issues to reveal.

Our anniversary!

This is us on our way to spend the day together for our anniversary. We have been married 11 years today. He asked me if I had something I really wanted to do on this day and all I could think is that I have been wanting to see "Fireproof"
I read the book and have been reluctant to start "The Love Dare" book. So usually once I read a book, sitting through the movie is kinda a waiste. Not so in this case however. Since our marriage has been usually for the most part "normal" and not without problems, I asumed the movie would be a good way to get things going in the right direction with a little visual help. So when the opportunity came to say what I wanted I suggested we go see it together. This is a piture just before leaving for the theatre.
Once we saw the movie, I was refreshed. A new way of seeing my husband and some pointers on how to deal in the future. He loved the movie as much as I did and though I left here with way more makeup than usual, I certianly didnt leave that place with hardly any on. It was just as awesome as I had made it up to be in my head. I would hope all that will be married, already married, dating, or might date in the near future go see this movie. In my heart I feel as the folks who wrote this movie were truly inspired by God to do so. It is worth the trouble you may have to face to see it. I also expect to see lots of marrages renewed because of the tools used in this movie. I love it and my husband!

Guess What?????

I SAW THE MOVIE. FIREPROOF AND IT WAS WORTH MY WAIT. IRNICALLY, WE SAW IT ON OUR 11 WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. LOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEE IT!

Election 08

Well I am not sure what to think. First off the winner was not the one I chose but he still is the new president. I also feel like God has a plan and I am willing to see it through. I pray for strength for whatever comes of this. I have had a tough day all day long and so this may be why Im extra flipped out about this. I will pray for Obama just like I would for McCain if the tables were turned. I hope that I am all wrong and we will learn to love him. Hope is what I need and I wasnt feeling it with this man. Sorry so gloomy!

Update! Its been a while!

Well I will start off by saying that it has been a while and as much as I love to blog, I have just been a bit busy. To start I will say I have taken a soccer team again. I just love this perticular vonlunteer position but it has been a trying season. First problem was that I know nothing about U-8 soccer and thankfully I have been babysitting a little boy who does and loves to share his knowledge. Besides the unknown about U-8 soccer I have also run into some scheduling problems as well. Also some rediculous refereeing from other teams and some drama. I guess it waould be a bit much not to expect some drama considering there are 8 girls and 2 boys on our team. Anyways, we will finish off our season with a year-end party planned for this Sunday afternoon. We will be giving out trophies to our teams and having lunch with them. I do love this sport but I am tired. Looking forward to Spring U-8!
Next thing that I have been busy with is my passion. It is by far my fav. extra carricular activity for my daughter and it is Girl Scouts. I am a Daisy and Brownie troop leader and the area regisrar. I absolutely love this organization and what it teaches little girls. I have taken 2 troops this year and it is a challenge but I love it. We meet with one troop on Tue. and the other on Thurs. It cosumes several hours a week but the values are just wonderful.
The next thing I have souly devoted myself to was an 8 week Bible study that has taught me so much about myself and some folks in The Bible as well. I have met a few wonderful women and most definately made a few lifelong friends. I have committed my self to this study and I have put my soul into it. I do feel closer to God and a bit of knowledge is the plus. I hope to share some of the things I learned with some and to keep learning.
The next thing I have done is to try giving up my cigarettes. I have cheated a little bit but I have for the most part quit. I will not call myself a quitter yet but with prayer and good friends I should be able to very soon.
Last but not least by any means is I began reading the novel: Fireproof. It is the novel that was written along with the new movie. I love Christian movies and I have always been a fan of the movies this church has put out in the past.(Flywheel, Facing The Gieants) and I have been just going insane waiting to watch this movie. To my supprise, I got a letter from my sister and she had expressed her feelings for me and enclosed was a recipt. I looked over it and relized she had ordered me this book and the book that is used in the movie called "The Love Dare". It was a shipping ticket for when it would be shipped. Anyways, I finally got the books and that was it. I have completed the book from the movie and am begining on the Dare. This opportunity could not have come at a better time in my life and I am more inspired now than ever to see the movie. I also truly hope that it helps some folks in their lives as well. I watched an interview with the men who wrote the script for "Fireproof" and their hope in this movie was to hlep married and single people understand that divorce is not always the best option. It was a wonderful book and the movie just has to rock!!!
So As I was saying about my busy schedule, I have been consumed but not really overwhelmed. Tired? OH YEAH! I love what I am doing and I hope to be able to stay just as busy once some of these things slow down. Of course, only after I have taken some time to rest and rejuvinate myself from the fall events. I am just thankful to be able physically, to accomplish so much and still have an hour to tell you all about it.
Have a good week!!!!!!

He knew I needed this!!!!!

Zuma Fun Center!!!

Me and Gabe are the youth directors at our Church. So we planned to take the kids to ZUMA FUN last Sunday. It was a blast! We took 13 people with us and sad to say there was 7 adults who went.

This is a "mark" on the arm band for not behaving on the go-kart track. No, this is not the arm of one of our children from church. It is the mark from one of our ADULTS from church. He just could not help himself but he had to bump every car within bumping distance of him. He was told if he got another "mark" he would be no loger allowed to ride! Way to go kelly!

This is me using all my tokens! I had no clue what in this world I was doing but I sure did like trying to. My sis grabbed the camera (after she scolded her hubby for being mean on the go-kart track) and started trying to catch me doing something silly. Well now you see I dont do silly things! (wink)

This is my sis and her hubby. They had a blast just like everyone else did. I am certian we will be going back there with them probably and not many kids. I happen to know that he had more fun than the kids did. Love you guys!

The last few weeks....

Friday night was the Central vs. Megs Co. ballgame. Our little girls participated in a cheer clinic in Aug.and in return got these shirts and an opportunity to show what they had learned at half time of the game. It was really cute to see all the little girls out there cheering for the home team. They had a blast and we were so hot. It was a very muggy night but the sun went down before the game got into full motion. It was not a great game because of the score. It was Central 55 to Megs 0. Yeah that was a big leap but it was unmerciful and neither team showed a great deal of sportsmanship. It was interesting but most of the interest was at half time!

SO this is me and my best friend from high school. Thanks to blogspot we have been able to see whats going on in each of our lives more often but I just love visits from her. I do hope my child and her future children have an opportunity to have great friendships like she and I have had. Oh the fun we have had. Check her out here:http://katbuad.blogspot.com/

This is also a friend of ours. This is my husbands best friends little girl. (This sounded way less complicated when I said it rather than when I spelled it)He is also a lot of fun to visit with but he doesn't live so far away. This is our little girls riding a four wheeler. A pink camo 4-wheeler at that. The friend did mention to Gabe that it was like a flashback watching the girls play because he could almost see the two of them doing those kind of things as small children too.

This is my cousin's little boy. I can think of nothing to say when I first saw this except: aaawwwweeeee they are way too little to play this. However, they are not too little! It was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. The already tiny uniforms just swallowed them up and they still got out there and played like the big boys do. I sat for an hour just giggling like a little girl and those tiny little boys. SOOOOOOO CUTE!

This is my beautiful sister. She just came from the beauty shop getting all her blond, curly, thick hair cut off. I just love it. I love also that she went the very next week and made me an appointment to get my chopped off too. I love mine too! She is also a very interesting part of my life. You just gotta love a sister! Love ya Tina!

SOCCER!!!!!

Well here we are again. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. We have just started the fall season of AYSO soccer and I am coaching again. My husband/assistant coach, has decided not to help me out but a good friend of mine is going to. I am not so sure she is as pumped about it as I am but she is getting there.
We are doing U-8 this season because our girls have turned 6 and they cannot play on U-6 anymore. The thing is we are a co-ed team meaning there are girls and boys on our team but there are only 3 boys and 9 girls. This means that our cute ,sweet little girls will be going aginst 6 and 7 year old boys. I figure we will have a bit of loosing or some tough girls for next season. The great thing is all those girls are quite aggresive and dont mind getting after the ball. GO _________ ! We are trying to get a team name and we will be chosing one in the next week or so. I will be sure to tell all here.
We had a very short practice yesterday. We had a small interuption that caused us to call it. LIGHTENING! Now it raining but we plan to start up again on Thursday. YIPEE!!!!

This week in my life!

This is my baby girl and her very best friend. We had the pleasure of going to the rodeo on Friday night. The kids really enjoyed this. They are really sweet together. Just before hitting the rodeo we had a tailgate party at the park just outside the rodeo. We all decided to make a whole evening of it!

This is all the very interested children watching the bullriding. This was the safest place for them ironically, because one of the kids actually fell off the bleachers. She had a terrible scrape on her back but recovered well. I hope school is this interesting. Guess we will know in a few weeks!

This is my brother-in-law just as he figured out that he had gotten some Bristol Motor Speedway tickets this weekend. It is a night race and those are his favorite to attend. He had surgery on his eyes this year. He had cataracts really bad and he went finally, and had them removed. Now he can see really good. So as a reward for his birthday and for being sober, he got tickets for this race. What a look huh? He was absolutely blown away!

Here is his baby. This dog is ridicules with him. She loves him and is so loyal to him. I believe by this picture, that she thinks she may be a bit human!

This is Hooch! He is a golden lab. He is clearly beautiful and anyone who knows the breed knows exactly what I am about to say. He is a pain in my butt! The dog is loyal that he followed us to school, came right on in, and then just layed beside me as to say to every one " I belong to THIS person". So embarrassing! I went to the dollar store and bought a tie out chain and coller for him. The first day he broke or chewed off the coller and by today he has broken his chain. Obedience Training!?! I just love his playfulness and loyalty (except visits to the school) and his personality but Dang he is a pest. Wish me luck! This picture was actually taken on our trampoline. The funny part of this is that loyalty thing. I was on the trampoline and here he came right up there. I did figure out that if I was jumping he would lay down! Yes I agree its a bit mean but I didn't want him licking on me, and he survived to lick, follow, and jump up on me again.

Prayer changes things!

This is my mother in law. With my father in law and my daughter. About 8 years ago she had went to the dr to get glasses and had a very thourough eye exam and during the exam her eye dr found something on her optic nerve. He sent her to a neuro surgeon to find out what it was. They told her it was a tumor. It was not cancer but unless it came off she would have irreversable vision loss so away they went to have it removed. They decided to have the surgery done without going through her head. So they went up through her mouth, broke and moved her nose, and progressed through to her brain that way. Yes it was as horrible for as it sounds and she was in a lot of pain for a long time but most of the tumor was gone. Since, she has to follow up every 6 months with mri to be certian it did not come back.
Almost 6 months ago she went back for her regular mri and it was back! They decided to check every 3 months to see how fas it was growing. They decided that it needed to come off again but now they have what is called a "cyber-knife". So they started getiing prepaired to do this treatment. Now they have gotten all the work done to start treatment on her. She is clostrfobic ( I cannot spell so just sound it out! lol)really bad and they have to comver your face and basicly hold ya down for almost and hour for each treatment. SO naturally she is scared to death. We want all the prayers for her we can get so feel free to help us out with that.
She went today for her first of 5 treatments and she did ok but she is still not compfortable with this and probably will not ever be but she did ok. I will try to keep you posted on how she does all week. They have to do 5 treatments and she has finished only one.
Pray for her and her family as she is hoping the "CK" will get all of it so they wont have to do the horrible surgery again. Prayer really does change things. Maybe GOd didnt want it to be so bad He just want us to ask for courage sometimes!

THE CELL PHONE VS: THE BIBLE!

THE CELL PHONE vs. THE BIBLE


I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to children as gifts?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
What if we upgraded to get the latest version?
This is something to make you go hmmmm where is my Bible?
Unlike our cell phones, we don't ever have to worry about our bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill! wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones?

Still catching up on last week!

Are they not just adorable? This picture was taken at the big 6th b-day party. I just love seeing my child being all social and all. This is her bff on the left and her fav. cousin on the right. She ran herself silly on that park. I was so pleased with her party and I know she was too. I thought this picture was too cute not to post.

This is the newest member of our family. This little man and his mother are very near and dear to me and all my family. I cannot stress enough how this beautiful child and his mommy are very life changing, encourageing, inspiring to me they are. He is just the prettiest little boy I have ever seen and even though I am a bit partial, he still is very much a cutie. In 15 years he will be a super heart breaker. Course, his mommy is a beautiful woman too. Ilove you HM and RM!

This is among many things a true life miracle in my familys life. They are just adorable. This is my siter and her husband. He is at almost 3 years sober. We are so proud of him. He is just wonderful with my daughter and well any kid that comes into contact with him. He loves children and they love him right back. He has done an outstanding job in our church and in our family. WE are all very proud of him for being the husband this beautiful woman diserves. Love ya KJ

This is my parents youngest grand children. They were just too cute here not to have a pic of this. Two pees in a pod i tell ya. They were worn out at this point but not too tired to be cute as pie. We had such a good time that day. We had gone down on the river to cook out and after we got to the top and realized that there was no where to stop my moms car broke down. So we loaded down our vehicles and headed on to cook out. We finally found somewhere and just as we were sitting down to eat, it came a horrible storm. After all this we went to the takeout at the river and had a great time floating down the river. It was fun fun fun. Hope to get to do that again soon for sure.

My baby's 6th Birthday!

This is the lucky lady of the hour. She turned 6 today with a cute Hannah Montanna Party. I have no idea how she has such a range of fans but she certianly has won my daughters love for sure. She got just about everything HM has on the market. We love her so much and we are very proud of her 6 years of being with us.

This is River. Him and his mommy was staying with us this weekend and we had a blast. So did River. WE just love him to peices too! And he had bunches of fun too clearly by the look on his face!

This is the cake for her party. Awesome job Hollie! It was a huge cake and much to everyones suprise it was all gone in about 10 min. So pretty and tasty, can actually be all in the same cake. Thanks HoJo!


This is my sisters sharing a kiss for the camera. Pretty clever way to not show your face on film. I love you guys very much and I am glad I got to spend my daughters b-day with you. Love Ya Tina and Hope!

I will be posting more when I get a few min. Im trying to soak up all the sis and nephew time I can for now!

The last few weeks!

This is my new nephew. Isnt he adorable? They got to come in about two weeks ago and spend some time with me and he is sooooo cute. He would play on our airbed and rool off and still just as happy as could be about it. I love this child and his mommy very much.


This is a wonderful picture of a guy at a birthday party doing a "hog dive". Can anyone say "REDNECK"? We had a really good time and then i spotted some of this stuff going on so like the dork that I am I went diving for the camera. I just wonder what this guy would think if he saw this. I would guess he would be thankful noone could prove it was him. Ironically this was not the only "silly" diving board tricks I saw. We did have a good time.

This was the end result when you take a bunch of small children blackberry picking. My friend and her beautiful family just came to Tennessee. Never in a million years had she planned on spending a day like this but now that she has I will be willing to bet it will happen lots more. They had a blast! The thing about going into the woods hunting and picking blackberrys is of course, chiggars! My only way of not being over taken by them is to spray down with lots and lots of deet and this. As soon as you get home get rinsed off. I never have gotten into a bath before picking but they thought it was all the same and i just thought it was a great picture so we let them.


THis is the product of blackberry picking! No we dont hunt and bathe in bug spray and shower imediately after returning home just to sit and eat them. We made blackberry jelly. I got to introduce my friend from way out west to some southern delights. They had a blaast and got something out of it too. I believe it is a good thing to show our children how to be resourseful and to enjoy Gods little wonders.

The latest update is: they are enjoying their jelly and noone has chiggars! We will be doing apple jelly and apple butter next week. I will post on that too.

My week...or maybe "weeks".

So this is my sister. She is older than me and obviously very pretty. She just celebrated her 31st birthday today. Last year was a blast. "someone" and i wont own up to anything, rolled her yard with toilet paper and birthday streamers. They were up still during the whole thing...so they say! I had thrown her a surprise party at the same time as my daughters party. I knew she would come to her niece's b day party so it was the perfect time. I had a bunch of black balloons and a picture collage of all the embarrassing photos that she ever had made. It was something to see for sure.
Since then she has plotted and threatened to give me the most horrific 30th birthday i could imagine. I'm getting kinda nervous cuz she most likely really will make it just as bad as she is saying.
My point in posting all this is for you guys to know how my Monday was spent and also for you to know what we did this year on her birthday. Well she stooped in at my house on her way home from work and showed me what she is gonna get for my baby's 6th birthday and i was hoping to get to spend some time with her later but she said her and her husband had plans. So after Gabe went to work she wanted us to go out to eat with her and well of course we did. But...what i thought was wonderful is that instead of lavish gifts and a party all for her she let me in on the secret of what her and her husband was gonna do. Be sure not to share with our church family but we all took off and mowed our church's lawn. Yes she spent her b day doing a secret service for our church. She and her husband do not want to let the church folk know because it is their "service" to the church not wanting praise or thank yous just pure hearted service. That is truly something. She don't know but i do look up to her at least most of the time and i will have to say, i felt more satisfaction from helping her mow than i ever have sitting around spending time with her. I truly have been blessed by this and I know she is too. Happy B-Day to Tina!



This is our little angel. Her birthday is on Friday. She will be the big 6. We are having her a Hannah Montana party at our local park. I have invited lots of people and expect to have a great turnout. We are so happy about her growing up but it just seems like such little time has passed since she was just a baby. We are so proud of her. WE are gonna have to go back to the dentist this week for a baby-tooth that just wont loosen up and come out. Don't worry, she has been begging me to take her back to the dentist so its no big deal. I took her last week for her first cleaning(don't think I'm a bad mommy for waiting till she was 5) and she wont hush begging me to take her back cuz she liked it so much. Yippee, finally one dr she loves to visit.lol I love my baby girl. Happy B-Day to Shy!

Finally I am back.

Beautiful isnt it? This is my husbands way of showing that he supports me. See, I got this new, awesome, wonderful camera and My husband decided to take me to a place where he likes to fish and let me take pics. Beautiful huh? This is Calderwood Lake. I took this picture to show everyone how pretty this lake is. I had to take this one because it shows the veiw of the trees on the lake and its as clear as if you were looking directly at the trees. I believe I took almost an entire flash card full of pictures that are just a beautiful as this one.

Lots of things have been going on around here and I have so much to blog about but it is 3:30 here and i am just plain tired. SO I must go to bed and I will be on to fill you guys in when I get some rest.

This week...

Well this is where my little girl decided to go on Monday. She was forbid to have friends over and stuff because her daddy wanted to spend time with her. She had a blast. Im certian she has her daddy wrapped even tighter around her finger now. Since School has been out we spent the first two weeks camping, the next week he was working some overtime, and she had friends over, then my cousin passed away and we spent lots of time with the whole family. So now he has stoped his entire world to spend time with her. He made the big statement to her "where do you want me to take you" and well what else would a 5 year old with all the energy in the world say but "THE PARK". So off we went. I let them play while I want scoping out some good pics. We live in a beautiful part of the world and this is evedience. I thought it was georgous.


Nothing really picture perfect happened till The 4th. SO this is what we did in the afternoon before the firework show. We had gone to our local depot for the celebration. We obviously got way too hot so we came back and went for a swim. Sonce my ladybug can now get around in the water really good, we just finally got on a float and relaxed a while. Isnt she cute!?! She knows it too. lol Our little miracle!


So here is one of the fireworks. It took so good on my camera and I was proud. However, my ladybug was not impressed. She kept saying,"they're gonna fall on me". I didnt realize but it does kinda look like they might, but they wont. We have always went to my uncle's house and shot some our selves but since his son was killed, he decided not to have the festivities this year, so we went to our town's show. It was beautiful but definately bigger than what we were used to.


Here is a picture of the finally. It wasnt such a beautiful picture but it shows all the percusions that went all at one time. There was so manny and it felt like we were in a really small car with a really really big radio with lots of bass. It was nice and loud.


Here is a picture of the park they shot the show at. It is a beautiful park and it is huge. We do soccer and play ground there. Its really fun for all of us.

This week in my world!

Well, I cant say too much this time. I havent done much of anything. Its been really weird this week. I havent felt very good and even today I had a headache. We took our little one to the park and I got some great pics of her and her daddy and some ducks. They are gonna be great pics but I havent even taken the time to upload them yet. I am just absolutely useless. I am gonna try to get some stuff done tomorrow but I am not 100% sure that will happen either but Ill give it a shot. Have a good one and I will post some pics as soon as I get them on here.

R.I.P

This is my cousin Christopher Michael Dyke. He passed away on Sunday morning due to a house fire. Him and his girlfriend had just been home a little bit when God called him home. He left behind two beautiful, sweet hearted little boys. He did care a great deal about his boys and they absolutely loved him to death. We just finished up the services for him and we are still so very very shocked. We had just been camping with them not two weeks earlier. He made so many people smile with his natural smile. I have never known him to get upset with many people because he was so layed back. Him and my husband had become quite good friends and its been rally hard for my husband to except also. We love him very much.

This is him holding my baby girl. She absolutely will not have anything to do with most people but she did like Chris.She loves playing with his boys and they get along great together. He was so full of love and laughter. His little sister said she will miss most of all his ridiculous jokes that never made any sense.

Well this was one of his jokes: he had gone and gotten a 3 leaf clover put on his leg. So his little bro and sis asked him what it was for or what it meant. His response was because we were Irish. Thats so freakin' funny because...we are absolutely not Irish. His lil bro checked and there is no Irish in us and we still do not know why he had that tattooed on him. However, in remembrance of him we all went and got one done. His friend, step mom, dad, and all the cousins. So far their is eleven who have or have appointments to get them. It just shows we love him and will always remember how he could make us all laugh even if it was because it made no sense at all. We love you Chris!

Summer is Here!!!!!!

So here is my cute little, scared of the water, baby girl. She has been terrified of the water since she was tiny and went walking out into the water and fell. She was only big enough that when she put her hands down to catch herself she was commpetely in the water. Every year she has made a little progress with the water. So by the end of last year, she was holding the wall to walk in the 3 foot area of the pool. We went camping (see last post) she did get into the lake which is rare for her so I knew she had made some progress. Well we decided to use the pool a lot this week and here she is just like a fish.


This is her not only swiming or jumping in but DIVING! I was so proud that all I could do is grab the camera and yell "do it again".

Here she goes!


I feel almost like I did when she first started school! Well...yeah bout that proud!
See I was a fish in the water. My mom would almost have to spank me to get me out of the lake. I never knew what a pool was like but I didnt care so long as it was playing in the water. Now to have a child I just always imagined getting to share that passion with her. I thought all hope was done until now! Yipee, my daughter has something like me! I am so very very proud of her.


This is her jumping off the side of her great-grandparents pool. If you look closely, you will see a huge smile on her face as she knows she is about to hit the water! Way to go ladybug! I love you!

Vacation 2008

Well since my last post we have spent two weeks camping. Yes I said camping and it has the title of "vacation". When I was growing up, that is all we could do. That is all we could afford to do. One week a year we would spend the entire week with my mom's brothers and sister-in-laws and all my million cousins. We literally grew up together. We were tiny tots all together and what is terribly weird is that now our children are the little ones. It totally trips out our folks. So check out these pics!

So this is my little bundle of joy and my cousin's little bundle too. Yes I can very vividly remember me and her at this stage in our lives. This child was called by her mother's name all week long. She apparently looks identical to her momma. She sure does favor her a lot. Yes her mom is a little doll too.





Here of course is one of us not so tottler sized cousins. He obviously still thinks he is a child. To his dismay and our pleasure he didnt finish what he bagan at the top of the hill. We had a blast watching him try and try and try and still end up this way.However, we had a great well diserved laugh at his expense.

This is most of our little punks. They had just as great a time together as we used to when we were their size. This pic was taken just after we got our turn on the raft-pulled-by-the-fast-boat-thing. It was so fun and just like us, everyone brought their lawn chairs to the lake bank to watch how quickly my aunt could flip us right off the "THING". She was sucessful with me (as if thats a big shocker)the hard part was getting back on. Anyways, it was very very fun and I would do it again and hope to get to soon.

Last day of Kindergarten!!!

This is the last day of school for both these girlies! Kindergarten is over!! This was their party. Small indeed but what a time they had. I could not pass up the chance to show off this piicture. It was absolutely the sweetest thing I have seen in a bit. To my suprise, my lab sat there very quiet and behaved for all the pictures I took till I got the perfect picture. I just think it is sweet to see a tree, a can-man, good ole' dog and cute little girls, playing school not hours after the last day of school, all in the same picture. I am guessing I was over the school thing way more than they were. They played school a long time after we got home. lol. This is what our little girls wanted to do with their now found freedom so the mommies got together and decided to let them have at it.
This is my little ones bestest friend at the present time and as I forsee, a long time to come. She is a good little girl and I am glad my daughter has a great buddy to hang out with. Lucky or blessed for me, I get along great with her mother too. Yipee!ADULT CONVERSATION! Congrats to the little kinder graduates!!!! Welcome to 1st grade and your first summer vacation!

This week in my life!!!

This is my mothers absolute shining moment.

My moms favorite thing and one of the many things she does well at is making bisquits. The only thing she does better is share herself whole heartedly with my daughter. She dearly loves showing my daughter how to do things. Bisquits was just one of the many things she showed today. I adore both these girls with all my ever-lovin-heart. I can vaguely remember her doing the same thing with me. And to noones supprise, my little one loves this as much as eating them.

Here we had a cookout with some good buddies from the west. After all the swimming, eating, and playing we all decided to sit down and have some desert. I know it seems as if she is just looking at this smore, but she finished it off in no time flat.

This is BB,s little boy. He is a doll baby. Unfortunately for him and great for my camera, he was quite upset here. He wanted to swing and I had him give a turn to another child there and well as you see he wasnt too happy with me. However, this did make a darling picture. Love ya muffin #5.

This is what we did on Tuesday. Isnt she beautiful?! She did such a great job. She is a sweet little girl at our church that just so happens to be my little girls idol. She has been taking lessons for two school terms now and wow has she got some tallent. Good Job! Keep up the good work KSM!

This is the very last full day of my little bitty, teeny tiny, 6lb11oz baby girl's kindergarten year. It just absolutely blows my mind that what seems to be only days ago and now a happy on-her-way-to-first-grade little girl. It is so bitter/sweet. Im extatic that she is progressing so well but at the same my baby is growing up. I just hope with all my heart that she will always know how very proud of her that I am. I love you baby girl!
