Kids and Time

Grace told Matt that she wanted to ride her bike to Memaw and Papaw's yesterday. Matt said "they live to far to ride your bike, it would take you all day". Grace said "That's okay, I have a million minutes". Lol:) I wish I didn't have to worry about time or even realize what time it is. All that mattered to Grace was that she had all the time in the world to do whatever. Bless her heart.

Grace had her dance recital saturday so I have some pictures and videos to share. She did such a great job and I am so very proud of her. After that we went home for naps and to relax, then headed to WalMart. Then we went over to Joe and Leah's for supper, to play the Wii, visit, and just have FUN. And boy did we ever!!!! It was funny to watch Matt and Joe box on the Wii, I really hope they don't take boxing as a career:)
Sunday we had church at the park and lunch. The Community building was packed, it was a great time of fellowship. The girls and I went to a graduation party for two of my Vikettes. I can't believe that they are graduating next week:( Then it was off to Small Groups for study of Genesis. I ended outside, poor Izabelle has been hooked to my leg, which I LOOOVVEEE, so I went out there to play with her and the older kids. I think I might of had more fun then the kids. It was fun and I was tired!!!

God Bless...

Thursday Tunes

Most of you all know this about me but I LOVE MUSIC and this song has caught my attention and I am thinking about doing a worship dance to this song...What do you think??? Not only do I love music and dancing but the message in this song is also what I need. Never Alone...sometimes we all feel like we are alone, but we are not our Almighty God is with us and sometimes it takes someone to remind us that, whether through song, speaking with someone, or reading scriptures. Enjoy:)




Until Next Time...

God Bless

Mother's Day

Mother’s Day for us, I mean me was a day filled with ordinary usualness. We woke up and got ready for church, then came home and got stuff ready to head out to my mom and dad’s. My dad was working so we visited with my mom, brother and Amanda. We got my mom some perennials that she has wanted. We were going to fix her lunch but when we arrived they just finished making breakfast or brunch since it was AHEM…11 o’clock. We went by my brother’s barn, I mean house…It’s really coming along. I think this week they are going to work on the electrical stuff. After Grant stopped chasing the girls, teasing his big sis and the gals talking it was time to head to my grandma and grandpa’s house. Izabelle and I fell asleep in the truck (I haven’t done that in a looong time), which was nice, but our visit with my grandparents was a little shorter due to that. My sister and her family came over after they visited her hubby’s family. Emily and Izabelle were not really into interacting with people due to the fact they just got down taking a not so good naps.

Then we came back home to get Matt’s mom’s gift (hanging basket). It was nice to get together with them and enjoy each other. Kaycee was there, we haven’t seen much of her lately, with her working (she works all the TIME) and her spending some quality time with her boyfriend. We have been missing her. I am really happy that she is happy.
Grace LOVES playing on Greta and Rob’s Wii that they bring for all of us to enjoy. Izabelle and B LOVE boxing/loving on each other:) It is so fun watching these two girls interact with one another. Here are some pictures of B and Iz playing.

B thinking her next move:)

Grace getting ready to bowl.

Izabelle tackling, I mean loving on B.
O’ and my sweet romantic hubby got me two bouquets of flowers. Okay you got me it was actually me that got them for me when we all went to WalMart to get groceries. But he was with me, so I let him take credit for it:)

Not Me! Monday

This is Not Me! Monday! ~ the blog carnival hosted by MckMama every MONDAY! This lady is eccentric, funny, and full of faith. She and her family has had a rough year with the youngest of the her charming kids being diagnosed with a heart problem in the womb. They were told that they baby would not survive, but with their faith in God, the child was born full term and healthy. It wasn’t until recently that the heart problem resurfaced and spent 5 weeks in the hospital to get his heart stabilized, so he could go back home to his brothers and sister. Be sure to stop by her place after you're done here to see what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
Now for my Not Me! Monday!
I did not play Old Maid and Gold Fish with my oldest daughter and actually lost without trying. I certainly did not peek at her cards when she bent down to pick up from the Old Fish pile…Not Me!!
Friday, I am not that type of girl to strut in the Auto Parts store and pretend I knew exactly what I needed for my awesome Mini Van…Oh Not Me! I then did not ripe open the caps for the tire, look around to see if anyone was looking to see a WOMEN working on her tire. So, Not Me!!! It is NOT like me to take a picture of my littlest girl on Mother’s Day showing her most favorite pass time…TANTRUMS!!! Nope, Not Me!!!!

Until Next Time...

Show Us Where You Live-Living Room &/or Family Room

Okay I guess I am going to join the "Show Us Where You Live" wagon that this wonderful Lady, Kelly started. I have been reading her blog for quite sometime, well before she had her beautiful daughter Harper and during her daughters hospital stay after her birth. I am quite fond of the name Harper since it is my mother's maiden name...I never thought of using it as a girl's name...Hmmm??? If we have another daughter next maybe we will use it.

Okay, back to the showing you all my Living Room and Family Room. We are suppose to do this on Friday, but I was in Evansville all day and I need to do some cleaning up, so here it is a day later. Hey, feel free to make any suggestions...I am not the best in the home decor department.

This is our Living Room...this is the view when you turn the corner from the house garage.

View from the Master Bedroom

View from the Front Door-looking to the Right...Love the Entertainment Center...Matt's uncle made that for us.

Front Door looking straight to the dining table and our French Doors (that I LOVE) leading out to the backyard

Kitchen (which is VERY MESSY)

This is what we have on the BIG BARE wall the back of the Living Room...Have NO Idea what to do here...Thinking about putting the clock above the entertainment center, and do a collague of pictures....Any ideas???? Love how I have the UpperCase lettering not up yet...Yeah its been like that for weeks, maybe months. Ha!!!

The family room in the basement...As you can see we haven't done much down here. We do alot of playing and watching movies. I love the sectional that we got from some friends...Thanks!!! Matt and I feel asleep on it the other night watching a movie.

Some more viewsHope you enjoy the Tour!!!! Come again:)

Until Next Time...
