12 years old!

This was JT 12 years ago today. Hard to believe that it has been 12 years since God blessed me with my first bouncing baby boy! I can still remember it all like it happened yesterday, but at the same time I don't remember what my life was like before he was born. He is such a joy in my life, he is very sweet, compassionate, polite, intelligent, and caring. He is a beautiful child both inside and out! It's hard to believe this is the last year before he becomes a teenager *gasp* Here he is now, the fine young man that he has become:

We are very lucky that out of all the people in this world we were chosen by God to be the parents of him. Today he asked if I would come have lunch with him at school. I asked him if he was sure, didn't know that kids still wanted there parents to do that once they got in junior high, he said yes, he wanted me to. Friday night we will celebrate the birth of this miracle by going to dinner with family and friends. Happy birthday JT, we love you more than you will ever know!

Woo hoo

Did you see that Texans game today? If not you missed out! They won, hope they can continue to win, sure would love to see them go to the Superbowl! Yes I am a football fan, some people don't know that about me, but it's almost a requirement if you live down south. I remember as a kid my dad taking us to the Oilers games, we also had the old 45 of the song "Luv ya blue" I listened to it over and over! Now I enjoy watching the Texans, win or lose, but sure love it when they win.

Also happy that whatever little bug Emily had on Friday she is over.

And this is my 3rd post on here recently. Still haven't started the journey back to August, but hoping to maybe the week after next. Next week have a lot to do. On the 11th my oldest will be turning 12 so he wants to go to dinner Friday night and need to get everything done around here before then.

As I mentioned in another post I have stopped using Facebook for now because I was wasting so much time on it and I needed a break to take care of some other things. I am sure I will be back one day, but now I have found a new website that I LOVE! It's pinterest. (Thanks Beckie) I have gotten so many ideas off there that I want to do, now I have to just stay off there long enough to actually do them!

Good luck to the Texans next week against the Ravens. Hope your having a blessed weekend.

Not today

Well I thought I might try and post some of August's happenings, but not today. As anyone with children know things don't always go as you plan. See my sweet princess:

She was up most of the night sick, that is how she is now. I might could get some done,but thinking that I will wait, I never know when she is going to be making another run to the bathroom.

This is how she looked just a little bit ago before she fell back to sleep:

Poor thing looks sad,thinking I might try to catch a few winks while she is napping, was a long night for mommy too! Check back soon and maybe will find time to start catching up. Have a blessed day!

I'm back!

Well, I never really went anywhere. I have just been really busy and have had some life changing events in my life. I will tell all about it soon. Every time I take a break from blogging I debate if I should start back again or not. I always do as I keep saying my kids will get a kick out of seeing all this when they are older, my family enjoys reading it and keeping up with what is going on with the kids, and one day I am going to make a scrapbook out of this blog through that company that turns your blog into a scrapbook! I have left the Facebook world behind for now so I can free up some of my time to do the things I use to do, like this blog or real paper scrapbooking and card making, and other things so I hope to keep this updated more often. Right now I am about 5 months behind, and a busy 5 months it was, so will try to give the short version of it with pictures soon. For now just want to wish anyone who is reading this a Happy New Year! I pray God's blessing of health, peace and joy for all. Check back soon and hopefully will have some updates!
