Alabama trip

Well, we went to Alabama and got back Saturday afternoon. It was a good trip in getting to see my parents and my aunt and uncle. Thanksgiving meal was just as good as ever and we got to spend time with the dog I gave my parents, Buster. Buster has gone from being a little 8 lb puppy to a 91 lb chunk, but he's just as good and dependable as ever. We went to Starkville on Friday and did a little shopping, so that a good diversion to an otherwise miserable Egg Bowl. The trip back from Starkville was pretty crazy with rain, fog, and stupid drivers pulling out in front of on-coming cars. Unfortunatley, my stomach bug acted up again and I didn't get to enjoy the final bit of the trip. Praise God that the flight home was very smooth in comparison to the outbound flight. My only regrets are that the trip wasn't longer and that dad wasn't feeling well.

Praise God!!!

My sister (older) got her biopsy results today!! She does NOT have endometrial cancer!!!! It is a miracle!! I truly believe He took that cancer right out of her!

Missy's Shower

Lauren is very excited about Missy's baby!! She put her ear up to her belly so she could "hear" the baby!! :)

We had a great time at the shower. It was good to see old friends!

We can't wait to meet the little "sweet prince"!!

things that come in pairs.....

Ok, ya'll. Literally, I laugh every single day with this new job of mine. Yesterday, one of my co-workers was teaching the kids about pairs. She asked them about things that come in pairs. This one little boy raised his hand, stood up, put his hands on his bottom, and said, "Butt cheeks come in pairs!!" Ok, so we know he got the point, but DANG!!!

New funny....

ok, another kid story!! :) I'm telling you, teaching first grade can be hilarious!!! :)

So, my kids have gotten lazy about putting their name on their paper, which drives me CRAZY!! Well, I grade the papers, then Stephen files them for me to save me time. We had an idea the other night. Sippi LOVES to shred paper. So we "accidentally" let her have one. She shredded it into hundreds of pieces. Stephen gathered in into a ziploc baggie. I brought it to school and poured it out on a desk. I told them that is what happened when they didn't put their name on their paper....Sippi gets it!! :) Since then, the problem has taken care of itself mysteriously!!! :)

Hallelujah!!!

I always like to sit back and listen to my kids sometimes without them knowing that I'm listening. One of my little girls on the way out to the playground was talking to her friends. She told them that Jesus died on the cross for their sins. Then, she started marching and putting her hand in the air singing, "hallelujah, hallelujah!!". (over and over again) It was too cute to stop!!! :) 6 years old by the way!!!

Bump alert

Missy is 29 weeks pregnant!! We can't wait to meet the little feller!!!! We still don't know his name! (hint, hint Missy! ) :)

Yee Haw!!

Here we are at Texas Roadhouse. The family brought me here for my birthday. The evening ended w/ me having to climb up on the saddle for my birthday and then yell, "Yee Haw"!! It was quite embarrassing!

Happy Birthday to me!

My family surprised me by coming up today. We truly had a blast!!!

Crazy Hair Day

Instead of costumes, our school had crazy hair day. This is my co-workers and me. This was about as crazy as it gets!!! :)
