Happy 4th!

It feels so good to be back among you blog readers! I felt like I wasn't whole without the internet.
How can that be? I mean, I just got it at the house in January, and now when I am without it for 2 days(really just 1 day &3/4) I don't feel whole?
I read this one blog and she has taken the summer off from the computer. More power to her, but I love this thing! I love sharing my thoughts and weird family happenings with you, even though I don't know who you are because NO ONE COMMENTS ON MY POSTS!!!!
I have thought about this and cannot come up with a good reason except that people that read this blog don't relate to me and all my musings. Well, all I have to say about that is
TOO BAD!! Now that I have started this, I can't quit!
Nothing has really changed since the last time I was here. Today (the 4th), we are smoking a butt and some ribs, making ice cream and, yes you guessed it, going to the pool. The kids just aren't tired of it, and the back of my legs aren't as dark as the front of my legs! So, we will go to the pool.
Happy 4th ya'll

I completely understand the feeling of knowing people are reading, but not commenting!!! I'm just as curious as you are! Nothing like a smoked butt and ribs on the 4th! Yum!! The pool is just a given at my house- it's part of my kid's routine for the 4th!! :)

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

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
