Andrew's birthday was last Sunday. We had his favorite supper of red beans and rice and then on Tuesday he had four friends over. Jimmy took them to laser tag in BR and from what I hear, they had a GREAT time! Hard to believe he is 12!!!!!!!

coffee
When asking your son to fix your cup of coffee, be sure to remind him to stir it . . . . .silly Asa, put sugar and cream in it and did not stir it! Bleck!!!!
sweet love letter
I found this on another blog. . . . a love letter from someone's grandfather to her grandmother . . . . what a wonderful thing to have that kind of love!
My Love
It seems I am not able to, or cannot express fully by word the Great Love in my heart I feel for you. It runneth over and wants to burst from my body. You have given me four fine children which I love dearly (which at times) they may not think so, but nevertheless is so. I do not see how I can love you any more for that because you have it all now. I know not why I am writing you this except my heart is uring me to do this. It is all a quiver.
Love you My Darling,
Ralph

a funny for your Monday . . . . . .
Never Choke in a Restaurant in the
South!
Two cajuns walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their trapping and fishing business.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress.
One of the cajuns looks at her and says, 'Kin ya swallar?'
The woman shakes her head no.
Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'
The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.
The cajun walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.
As she begins to breathe again, the cajun walks slowly back to his table.
His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver
seed nobody do it!'

Fishing and Pumpkins
The boys went fishing and were gone only 30 minutes and they caught a whole string full!
This is what you get when you let a 7-year old carve a pumpkin. He is soooo proud!

Jaymun
Have any of you followed the cancer journey of this child? He died a few days ago.
http://www.jaymun.com/
This child was BORN with cancer. How is that possible? I just don't understand it. As a parent, I can't imagine watching my child suffer such. He was only a toddler and had been sick his whole life. And still the parents had an unshakable faith. Amazing! I can't help but think that I would constantly question God if this were my child. Maybe not. Maybe I would be strong in my faith and trust Him. I hope I never have to find out.

Zero - as in "I have zero tolerance for stupid people."
Zucchini - love it sauteed with onions

Noah's rodeo finals
Noah's rodeo finals were yesterday and today. It was wet and sloppy and nasty and cold and misty but he did very well and possibly placed second in both events. We go back today for the end of the finals. He's hoping he wins a buckle. A check would be nice too! So proud of my cowboy!
Emma Grayce
Spent last Monday with my fav baby girl. She is trying to walk and babbling up a storm. I have no idea what she is saying but it is too cute!

Noah and the dance
Me and my sweet son. As much as aggrvates the mess out of all of us here at home, it is nice to know that when he is in public, he is a fun-loving, polite, repectful young man.
Noah and Ashley.
Isn't he handsome? This is Noah right before he headed out to the homecoming dance. I can't seem to wrap my brain around how he is old enough to go. It was tough holding back my tears helping him get dressed and watching him learn to tie a tie.

A funny for the day
Little Susie was not the best student in Catholic School . Usually she slept through the class.
One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was sleeping.
'Tell me Susie, who created the universe?'
When Susie didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend sitting behind her,
took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear.
'God Almighty!' shouted Susie.
The Nun said, 'Very good' and continued teaching her class.
A little later the Nun asked Susie, 'Who is our Lord and Savior?'
But Susie didn't stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to her
rescue and stuck her in the butt.
'Jesus Christ!!!' shouted Susie.
And the Nun once again said, 'Very good,' and Susie fell back asleep..
The Nun asked her a third question...'What did Eve say to Adam after she had
her twenty-third child?'
Again, Johnny came to the rescue.. This time Susie jumped up and shouted,
'If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!'
The nun fainted!

Words from Jeff Foxworthy
I LOVE Jeff Foxworthy. He is hilarious to me! However I never expected anything profound to come from his lips. But yesterday in the Parade magazine, there was an interview of him. And I LOVE what he said about children and God. Here is it:
"The most important lesson I have learned from my own kids is that they have given me a small glimpse of how God must feel about us. You know, your spouse is capable of doing something where you wouldn't love him or her anymore, but your kids aren't. It doesn't mean you don't get angry or frustrated with them, but you cannot NOT love them. They're an awesome gift. And I kind of think that's how God looks at us, like, "Oh, good grief, you are so stupid, you're driving me crazy, but I still love you."

words of wisdom from a fellow blogger
A dear friend of mine shared this with me today from another blog. I take no credit for the words of wisdom.
"Here is a bible verse that has been speaking to me lately and I thought I would share.
...but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. Philippians 3:13
Do you ever have days of discontentment? I do. Especially today for some reason. I feel discontent staying at home...being bored, cleaning up messes. again. and again. and again. You know? I was reading my bible and came upon this verse and it hit me. hard. I am being discontent with my circumstances. If my circumstances were to change would I be happier? Probably not. I would still be discontent.
Forget the days that are behind you. You will never have them back {and believe me when I say, I don't want mine back!} Don't get stuck in what was. What good will that do? God wants us to move forward and live in the present not the past. Reach ahead. Press on. Be content where God has you now"
Powerful isn't it?

Conversation I overheard this morning
Luke: Do you think Mama and Daddy will let me get a dirt bike this year for Christmas?
Asa: I think we should ask for a four-wheeler.
Andrew: I don't think y'all are getting either. Did you know we are in a recession? Even Santa Claus is hurting!
omg! I laughed til I almost peed on myself!
Kids do say the darndest things!

Painting
First let me say, the color is not near as bright as it appears in the pic. It is a much more muted blue, called Seacove Blue. Only one more wall to paint in the living room. The kitchen is another story. It looks like a rainbow threw up in there! I think I'm gonna have to Kilz it and start over. Ugh! Why do I start these projects? And Traci, no comments about how many times I've painted my kitchen. Girl, you've got me beat 20 times over! lol!
more Hootie
I've been listening to this song all day. Love his voice!

Another one for you Tiger Girls
A couple from Louisiana and a couple from the East Coast were seated side by side on an airplane. The girl from Louisiana , being friendly and all, said, 'So where ya'll from?'
The East Coast girl said, 'From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence.'
The girl from Louisiana sat quietly for a few moments and then replied:
'So, where ya'll from, bitch?'

Geezem petes! who thinks of these things?
"These are the perfect solution for those unruly diaper changes, when baby boys seek revenge on the person allowing cool air to hit their Nether Regions. Often times, they start spraying pee the minute that diaper comes off. Crazy how that happens.
Here's the solution. Just plop one of these Wigwams on top while you're wiping, situating, unfolding the diaper, etc. And if they soil it, just toss it in the washer for next time. Easy as that."
seriously, who sits around and thinks "today i am going to make a cover for my baby boy's winkee. some people need more to do. (yeah, yeah, maybe me too since I am writing about this). we definitely don't need anymore paraphanalia to encourage men to think more highly of their privates than they already do. And this would be starting them from birth! geez! just gotta give you people something fun for the day. you're welcome.

my men working hard
Andrew when I picked him up from his duties. He was pretty happy to be done!
Noah baling.
Jimmy picking up with the stacker. one day i'll get him a cab tractor!
The boys are a BIG help to Jimmy and really like working with their daddy. If we fail at everything else, our boys are sure to have a good work ethic. We are so thankful for the good weather for baling. Looks like we'll still get to eat this winter! haha!

MJ
So have you heard, Michael Jackson was "murdered?" I am so sick of hearing about MJ. Enough already, he's dead. Sure I enjoyed his music and can remember sitting outside with my friend, Deanne from middle school, listening to "Thriller". I could only do that at her house because my parents wouldn't let me listen to that kind of music. (Of course, I could listen to country music about getting drunk, sleeping around, going to prison, etc.--lol!) Anyway, but the man is dead and leave it alone. The way I see it, he was taking multiple drugs and having trouble sleeping so the doctor probably gave him what he asked for. He was a FREAK! not that freaks deserve to die, but . . . . I'm just saying. There are more important stories that should be told on the news right now. Enough!
Ok, I'm off my soap box . . . for now that is!

Homemade slip-n-slide
Noah and Luke and Luke's friend Riley had a blast with their version of the slip-n-slide. So much fun to watch boys be boys! 
Our Weekend in pics
Katie and I playing together. Can't believe she started pre-K.
Me and sweet Baby Kendall. I am seriously thinking I need one of these!
We ended the day with supper at Mama and Daddy's. Good food and so good to see everyone. We live so close yet hardly get together. Everyone is always so busy. Anyway, these pics are for you, Aunt Maxine.
