Happy Birthday honey.... I will always love you!!!

I wondered if I would ever find the man of my dreams. I didn't know who he might be,or when it might happen,but I did know this: the man of my dreams couldn't be just anyone.He had to be someone INCREDIBLE...The man of my dreams wasn't going to be easy to find. He had to be a lot of things: someone who I was able to be sincere with and communicate with and be completely honest with, who I'd trust no matter what, just the way I wanted him to be with me. He was going to have to love my children as if they were his own flesh and blood. Sometimes he would be outrageous and funny and wonderful, and yet he would be gentle and genuine and always there - in good times and bad. He would be very reassuring and supportive. The man of my dreams had to have a warm heart and a sensitive soul and be full of fun and friendship and shared feelings. It seemed like the man of my dreams was just a figment of my imagination...until you came along. And then..when you did...I discovered that you are EVEN MORE WONDERFUL than I imagined any could be. You have made my life more wonderful and complete than I could have ever imagined. I owe all the happiness that my heart has in it today and all the days to come to YOU! You are my EVERYTHING and I will always and forever love you! Happy Birthday!

Oh no not I, I will SURVIVE!!!!

Well I survived the birthday party with somewhere about 20 teenagers and Reese and Carleigh. Whew! I think the last ones left around 11:30 and 2 stayed the night. Got them up this morning and to the church by 10 to go on the youth group mystery trip today and then Reese, Carleigh and I headed to Meadville for LuLu's shower. Then back home change clothes and at the ballfield by 3:30. May I add we won 17-0! YAY! My little man go smacked tho while batting but he sucked it up and walked it off. Wow he's growing too fast. Then a quick trip by the grocery store for stuff to cook for our church picnic tomorrow and we're finally back home. I have a million things I need to be doing right now (cleaning my house back up included) but I am worn out. Can't stop now tho. Gotta cook for the picnic, wash some clothes and maybe load some things in the camper. Oh please Lord give me the strength. As my wonderful mother always reminds me, He never puts more on us than we can handle. But will somebody please tell me why He always assumes I can handle so much....lol.... Thank you Lord even tho I do question you!!!!

Happy 15th Birthday Matthew

Not flesh of my flesh

Nor bone of my bone,

But still miraculously my own.

Never forget for a single minute,

You didn't grow under my heart,

But in it.

Happy 15th Birthday Matthew!

You have brought more joy into my life than you could ever know.

I LOVE YOU!!!

Oh he got a haircut..

For those of you who have not seen him yet, this is Samson. He was my easter present from Ken and the kids. Ken felt it was time to get another dog for inside since my Jett man is getting so old. So we came home with this. ha ha . He is a Lhasa Poo. And let me tell you he is b.a.d. I don't remember the potty training being so hard with Jett. I think he may have just trained himself. We tried puppy pads and all he done was shread those up. I have to say he is doing better but if I'm not here ALL day long to let him out about every hour there is going to be an accident. My floors have now lost all their shine I believe from mopping so much with vinegar and water (by the way obviously that doesn't work)... Oh well... He's already won us all over and I'm praying potty training comes fast....

A guys night....

The men of the house had a night to themselves this past Tuesday. Thanks to Kayla they got tickets to the Governors Cup at Trustmark Park. As you can tell they decked out in their Ole Miss attire and headed out. May I add they also left early enough to go by the Nascar store in Brandon. ha ha. I tried to send the camera for some game shots but Ken insisted he was not taking a pink camera to the ballgame to take pictures. Ugh.. Men.. Oh well I managed to get them to pause getting in the car long enough to get this one. They got in late and Carleigh Gail and I were passed out in the bed but they had a blast and made some memories that will last a lifetime..

oh me.... that time again...

Well ball season has started again. We've has a couple practices and have a baseball camp tomorrow and a jamboree the next weekend. We found out who we play for yesterday. And of all things can you believe Bank of Franklin. Ken and I had a really good laugh on that one. In the middle of getting ball season on its way we are getting ready for Manson and Lauras wedding and of course my favorite trip of the year DEGA! Whoo Hoo! Ken goes back Thursday for just 7 days and then we are outta here! I can't wait! We are attempting to take Carleigh Gail this year because she insists that she's going and she's really more in to watching on tv than the boys are. ha ha! So after dega I have LuLu's bachlorette party, then Manson's honey do shower, then the wedding. Needless to say my Saturdays are booked from now until May 17th. It's ok tho. I'm excited about the wedding too. I just feel really old that the only boy in our family, that I have always considered my little brother, is getting married. Wow. Then we have April in December and Kari next June. I think they are attempting to see just how strong I am. ha ha ! Have a good weekend!

Easter....

Well I was minus my oldest on easter, well, the oldest living at home and of course my daughter forgets to come by after church for pictures so it was just me, Reese and Carleigh Gail for the photo session. But we had a wonderful day at my mother in laws (nanny) and everyone was there except for my dear sweet husband who was working but managed to call us about 15 times I do believe ha ha. I love you honey!
