I love a sunshine day!!!

Today is BEAUTIFUL!! I actually felt like getting outside and taking some pictures. We cant wait until Spring is here!!!

Burlap Wreath

Hey Mom look what I did!!! I bet your jealous and I bet you just said I have to make you one!! ha ha!!

It turned out really good and yes I will make you one!!

iPod sweater and iPod carrying case

I made Mallorie a couple of things for her iPod today, the first one is just an iPod sweater, I made this to protect her iPod when she throws it in her purse. I used the sleeve out of one of Linzy's old sweater that doesn't fit anymore. It was pretty simple, three straight stitches and some elastic in the top to keep the iPod from falling out!! She likes it, and that is all I wanted.

This one really made her happy. It's an iPod sleeve that she can take when she goes to work out (yep the whole family is doing it). I like it cause it sits up high and keeps your earplug wires from getting in the way.

You just run one tie through the arm sleeve and out the neck and run one through the neck and out the sleeve, bring them around to the from and tie! It's not uncomfortable all and fits snug..

So two things that I hope will add a couple of years to the life of Mal's iPod, Lord knows it can use all the help it can!

What happens when you swallow gum.

When I was growing up, I had a bad habit of swallowing my gum, which made my mom mad. She always told that this would happened if I kept doing that and I didn't believe her. Looks like she was right again!!

This guy cracks me up!

Make sure you turn the music player off first!!

Workout??

Well the family joined the gym today! Half of the work out will be just getting there. I figure I will look like this picture for a very long time. I don't know if I will be dragging Bert there or will he be dragging me.. Does the dragging count for the workout? The girls are excited and say they are going tomorrow...hmmm...we will see. I ought to keep a secret record of who goes the most. Oh well, pray for us!! Hey if any of my friends want to go with me, let me know...i'm the type of person that needs motivation....your dragging me there will count toward your workout.

God Bless

Christmas 2009

Guess what time we celebrated Christmas at our house.....well we tend to do things a little different around here....that's really putting it lightly, but this year it was at three o'clock in the morning!!! For the most part I would say no one has any business even knowing three in the morning exists..but there comes a time when it is appropriate..It seems with our schedules this is when everyone was actually home at the same time..I love doing things together, so what ever time that might be, that's when it happens!! Even though it was the wee hours of the morning, it was great!!

The greatest gift of Christmas, is knowing its all about Jesus, and that His gift is the true and only gift...He has blessed us with so many wonderful things, and among those are the gift of Family and Love for them.....and if you have Love you truly have the greatest gift.

Dad and his girls

My sweet man!

boy is she excited or what

band nerd

and he wonders where they get it from

so excited over yarn of all things

Tree and her apples

Oh no I went shopping without Jesus!!

If you know me at all, you know I am NOT a bah humbug person. I love Christmas, I love Jesus...He is the ONLY reason for the season....I love family, I love spending time with them, I love shopping for presents and blessing my family with them...

With saying all of that, I didn't recognize the lady at all that took over my body this morning and left with my husband to go to slidell and finish Christmas shopping.

I am sure the look of aggravation on my face as I walked the mall, made me a very approachable person, I am pretty sure I tried to hold that door before it shut in last women's face (it didn't actually, but I should have held it open)and I really didn't mean it at all, when I thought in my head, as the busy employee tried his best to help me, that he wasn't very smart at all.... I'm not at all surprised that this strange lady that stole my body didn't have fun, since with every store and every step, she would repeat "This is Horrible". Did I mention it poured down rain too?

I can't lie....no strange lady stole my body and went shopping with my husband, I just really wish I could blame it on her though, because it wasn't until we left and I got in the truck to come home, that the Lord spoke to me and said, "Hmm. probably would have been better if you would have invited me along", you know that kind of sits hard on ya since its His day and all. The response to His statement?......YES, it would have been alot better and oh how it will never happen again!!!

It is so easy to get caught up in things, and forget what your suppose to be doing and what really matters. But God never forgets.

...Thank God He reminded me....

Christmas at Mamaw's

I didnt take as many pictures as I would have like to have, because I was too busy running my mouth and not snapping Pics!!! Of course we had fun, we always do when we are together. Mamaw is holding up her couch quilt that the girls and I made for her. Of course, you can tell what parts of the quilt I made, my parts look like a five year old did it, but the girls part of the quilt looks real good.

Lots of laughs and lots of love

Well even though it looks like my children are running away, their not! The girls got bored the other day and decided to dress up and be goofy and take pictures of the whole thing. Their theme was homeless and running away. There is lots more great pics that they took, but I dont have time to upload them today. Some caring bystander that passed during their stunt, decided to call the cops and say the girls were running away and begging for food. It doesnt surprise me if they were begging for food, but running away? I was shocked! ha ha... Wish you could have seen the their faces when the cops showed up!!! (never a dull moment here) There is times I want to go out their and beg for food!!! Instead I just pick up the phone and start calling my friends and see who is cooking tonight and invite myself over. Yes my friends are that good!! Hope you enjoyed the pics, I will try to upload the other ones when I get some more time!
