Lately

I really think I am starting to like this form of blogging for me in the season I am in right now. We are so busy all the time with Cheerleading, Racing and our church family. This is just an easy way of keeping you guys up to date with what's going on with us. Plus I know you would rather see pictures than see me type random things...

Beach Baby!!!!

So my amazing husband allowed me to leave town for 4 nights and 5 days with one of my best friends. On Wednesday I left the house a little before 5:00 headed to Hsv to pick up my friend Tracy who just so happens to be our family's photog. She does an amazing job so if your lookin for someone who takes amazing pictures hit me up and I will give you her info. We got to our beach house around 12:00 something that night and hit the sack. We were exhausted but the funny thing is we never once turned the radio on we talked the whole way down. I love conversations with her they are always so interesting. Anyhoo we had an amazing time I got burned on the first day so I came home from the beach without an amazing tan HA HA HA Like I said earlier I went to the beach with a photog and well the last thing she wants to do on her vacation is take pictures so NO pictures unless you wanna see the ones I took from my phone! Nahhhh those would be to much trouble to load and they are not the best quality! I am just super grateful we got to go down the weekend we did because I just don't think the beach will be the same after the oil arives. :( We started seeing some signs of the trouble to come when fish, birds and bright blue jellyfish started rolling on shore. Whelp I better get back to trying to get this house back in order because well while I was gone my kidlets totally made a huge mess. My amazing husband had his hands full and he did however allow me to leave for all those days. So I am not complaining. I just have lots to catch up on! I hope everyone is having an amazing week. Be Blessed!

HUGE Announcement for our Family! *Wink*

We are having another baby!!!!!




Ok now don't get your hopes up I can't have anymore children. I am not having a baby but our family is! ha ha My baby sister Randi is going to be a Mommy! Our family is so excited. Laura and I believe that we are just as excited about "Baby Bean" as Randi and Matt are. What's so cool on top of the fact our baby is having a baby is that Randi is due to give birth on the same exact day that Mom was due with Randi. ;) So please join with our family and keep Randi and our precious "Baby Bean" in your prayers for a healthy pregnancy and easy fast painless delivery for my sister. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAK!!! Be Blessed... (I know our family is)

Finally Easter Pic's!

So last time you checked in my blogger page went crazy and I could not post pictures! So here are a few from Easter!

Blogger gone Nuts

Whelp I was going to post a few pictures from Easter Sunday but Blogger has gone Nuts and everytime I try to post a picture it locks Explorer up. So no Easter picturse right now. I have got to much going on to wait around for blogger to come around. We have had our windows open for the last 3 days and if you know anything about the South in the Spring then you know the yellow pixie dust has arrived and I have horrible allergies. So I will be doing lots of dusting and mopping today. I may even have to wash all of our bedding again this week because of all the yellow pixie dust. I hope everyone is having a great week so far. We are enjoying this weather and hanging out a lot outside in our back yard. I promise I am going to post pictures just give me a bit. Have a great day everyone and Be Blessed

Easter Weekend!

(Whew this was a long post. Take a break from your chores, get a cup a coffee and take a break and read this long blame post)

We had a wonderful Easter weekend.... Friday night was first night out at the drag strip for this racing season. Hubby got down to 4 cars in his 55 Chevy and we got home ohhhh sometime around 2:00 AM and finally in the bed around 3:00.

Saturday we woke up and did our traditional Saturday morning B'fast. Then we went with Daddy to check on a few pools then we had to get Hub's some pants for church. He found a dress that he just loved and wanted me to wear for Easter. (He bought it) Saturday afternoon we decided to just head on out to race one last time this weekend. We did not have much luck on Saturday but Hubby had fun and that was all that mattered. We get ready to go home and the slide out on our motor home would not come in. Finally hubby and one of his friends got it figured out and we were on our way home.

Sunday morning we got up got the kids fed and they got to look through their Easter baskets and then it was time to get everyone dressed. Why is it when you think you have everything planned you get ready to get dressed and you realize you totally forgot about your son needing black socks & shoes ORRRR you go to iron your husbands white shirt and you realize that it was stained.... So finally we figure things out and Hubby has to wear a white polo and Son wears White socks (ha ha MJ) and Daddy found some black shoes for Si. We all get dressed and head out the door climb in our truck and I realize I had no taken any pictures of the kids in front of our new house. So we back up and everyone piles out of the truck and we start trying to take pictures. Can I just say I hate picture taking my oldest child is a complete turd when it comes to taking pictures. He starts acting like a little 3 year old throwing fits.

We get to church and I have on the dress my husband so loved so much. It had a rather low cut V and I wore a black tank under it to keep the skeeter bites from hanging out. Then it hugged every curve I have and believe me after 3 kids I got some curves. It was above my knee and well I was just VERY uncomfortable. As much as he would love for me to be that girl. I am not very self confident and I just would rather be in jeans and a tshirt! We did not have that many students in class this Easter our numbers were actually REALLY LOW we only had 18 kids and normally on any given Sunday we have 28-32 kids... Our lesson was awesome and I got to use the Resurrection Eggs in my lesson if you don't have a set of these and you have small children you are doing yourself and those kidlets a disservice. GET A SET its awesome!

After church we left and went straight to Grant to be with my family. It's aways interesting when we get together. Normally its Daddy and one of my other sibs that are fussing but today I was already feeling a little on edge (the dress and oldest acting a donkey earlier) so when he started his mess I let him have it. Yeah not the proudest moment but at least nobody else had to fuss with him. I told them they could all thank me later!

We had the best Easter ever. Mom handed out her traditional Huge Egg filled with all different types of candy to all of her grand babies. It was a special time and I will post pictures of course of that in a later post of JUST Easter Pictures. We ate an amazing lunch my parents had made for us. HAM, mashed potatoes, green beans, mac & cheese, Col slaw, potato salad and rolls. Oh and you can't forget the HUGE Cookie Cake and the HUGE Lemon cake. I was doing so good till I saw the blame cookie. The Daddy's went outside and tossed a few eggs around and off the kidlets went to hunt their Easter eggs. They all got a "prize egg" my Dad is known for giving each of his grand kids a golden dollar every time he sees them. So they each got a gold dollar for their prize. We laid around laughed, talked, drank coffee, shot the BB Gun, cut up. You know the traditional things you do with you family. Ya know being super close to your family does have draw backs like the fussing but I say the drawbacks are over shadowed by the love, caring and friendship that being so close to my family brings. I AM SO BLESSED we may fuss, and over step our bounds sometimes but we are family and we love each other and we know we are blessed to have one another. So how was your Easter did anyone else have little spats at the dinner table or in our case the family picture swing. LAWD HAVE MERCY!!! ha ha ha I hope you guys have a wonderful week and most of all BE BLESSED!
