We had a wonderful day! lots of fun and family. The festivities continue today with Jimmy's family.

Christmas goodies

Luke and I made our 3rd and 4th batch of Oreo Balls. Making a variety of devilish goodies to take on Christmas Day for dinner with my family and Jimmy's. Tomorrow we plan to make peppermint brownies, puppy chow, fudge and pralines. We'll see how the day goes as to how much we actually get done. Luke is my little chef.

Supper club goofiness

 
 
 
Just acting really silly at supper club ornament exchange. I brought home a beautiful pink glass ornament. Love these girls!

 Luke gets his yellow belt in Karate. So proud of them!


 Claire graduated from LSU yesterday. Yeah for the new tiger!

 Snow in December here in SW Mississppi. It was more snow than I have ever seen!

 
 This sweet baby is 7 weeks old and I kept her again this week along with her 4-year old brother. What a joy!


 Asa getting his yellow belt in karate. He loves it!

MAJOR catch up

Its been a while since I blogged (haven't I said that before). It was just too hard to post pics etc here. However Santa came early, as in 10 minutes ago and brought me High Speed Internet. Yeah!!!!!!!!!! Jimmy has been hinting for days about what a GREAT gift that he got me, etc. and I couldn't imagine what it was. And his surprise was ruined when the man came just now. He did have a chance to call and tell me about it first. No Surprise on Christmas morning or not, I don't care. This is super cool!

Baby Hunter

Isn't he adorable? I am so enjoying holding this baby, visiting with Joelle and Scott and playing with Landon. Such a beautiful family!

 

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY ANDREW!

We hosted 7 boys at our house last night for Andrew's 11th birthday. It was a super fun celebration fit for boys. Lots of football, trampoline wrestling (no broken bones, thank goodness), sweating, muddy backyard fun, fire to roast weeines and marshmallows and even some shaving cream in the wee hours of the morning. typical boys! Andrew's birthday is not til next Saturday but we celebrated early.

I love you, birthday boy!

This is Jimmy and Daisy our dog, on their morning walk. I am so proud of Jimmy. He gets up every morning and is out walking with the sun coming up. Getting healthy and handsome!

JAILBIRDS

Catch up

Long time no post and no pics to post but we suffice it to say that our life is full and we have been busy. Jimmy and Noah and Andrew have been busy in the hay field. Too busy but that's a good thing--baling hay means food in our mouths! which is always good to me, haha!

Asa spent Thursday and Friday in the hospital, suspected appendicitis but it turned out ok. He was a trouper however seems a bit traumatized now that it is over and he thinks about it. All is well now and he went back to school today.

I should be working right now so I better close and come back to this later.

Goat roping at its finest

Noah and his friend Jake held a goat roping that was the finest entertainment last Saturday night. Just a few boys have fun, doing what boys do, well atleast, country boys that is!


 
 
 
 

happy birthday jimmy

we celebrated jimmy's 43rd bday yesterday with his favorite supper and cake.

 
 
 

Bye Bye Gustav and take a hike Ike!

we survived and are getting back to normal. so happy to see that Ike is not headed our way. I don't wish it upon anyone else just wish it would totally disappear!

As I was driving south this morning, there was devastation all around. trees on houses, limbs everywhere, mounds of limbs and trash at curbs waiting to be picked up. still no power for so many.

So thankful to be safe and sound!

Long time no blog!

 
First day of school - Aug 1 - Luke is not dressed in his uniorm b/c he had a stomach virus without an end in sight. I am happy to report that he is well and no one else caught it. Yeah! Such a mother's dream! Everyone is settling back into the school routine nicely and I am super happy to report that we haven't been late yet! Ok, so today was only the sixth day of school, but it's a start. Sad, huh?


 
Jodi, Benita and I spent two Saturdays ago at Scrap N on the River in Natchez. This is a scrapbooker's dream . .. to go away for a day or more and just scrap! For those of you who don't understand, it's ok. For those of you who do, it's ok to be jealous. You can join us in Sept and in Jan when we do this again.



 
Joelle and I at our 20th high school reunion in July. Has it really been 20 years! That is crazy! We had a GREAT time seeing old friends.
