A few things

First of all, and most importantly DANIEL WAS SAVED!!!
Monday night after I had tucked him in bed we heard him crying. Stephen went in to check on him and he was crying saying" I need to be saved". Stephen talked to him, showed him Bible verses and prayed with him. What a sweet moment.
We are all so excited, the smile didn't leave his face until this morning (this is Wednesday). How precious.
We don't know when he will be baptized, but we will let everyone know when the date is.

Second,
Today the boys had a cooking competition ala Iron Chef. The secret ingredient was bologna. They had 45 minutes and all cooked at the same time. It was such fun listening to them.
Samuel presented me with a "bologna skewer" and "bologna nachos". The skewer had onions, carrots, and of course fried bologna all on a knife/skewer. The nachos were made up of two different chips, lettuce and fried bologna seasoned with a bbq rub and Cavendars.
David made a "bologna salad".It had large lettuce leaves, chunks of carrots ("because mom I know you like chunky carrots in your salad",) pickles, and bologna, all with a dressing of red cooking wine, lemon juice and Cavendars.
Daniel made a "bologna burger". It had two pieces of fried bologna spiced with paprika, and taco seasoning all on a toasted bun.
I had to declare a winner so David won. His presentation was beautiful and colorful. His prize is two lunches today and possible breakfast for lunch tomorrow.
They were so cute and quite Iron Chef-like in their presentations to me-the judge. It was the cutest thing. Now, I wish I had videotaped it. TOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps. Did I tell you that this was all their idea. All of it, I had nothing to do with it at all.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
