Birthday week is over


So my birthday week is over.


Its sad I know.

Here's a recap!

Tuesday morning Cindy and her boys came to town. We ate out for lunch, I took them for a drive around town(it didn't take long) and we swam all afternoon. Stephen grilled hamburgers and Cindy and I played on the computer-we just love Facebook! I'm not sure where the kids were. NO!!! I'm just joking they were playing Wii.


Wednesday morning I began packing. We had found out Tuesday afternoon that our former music minister in Augusta had died and so we were headed to Augusta for the afternoon. It cut Cindy's trip short and I hated that part, but we had fun in the 24 hours we had together.


Thursday morning we woke up and went to Longview to see Mamaw and Uncle David. We got there a little after lunch. As soon as we unpacked the van the kids found a cabinet full of games and never stopped playing until we left. Uncle David grilled for supper and it was wonderful.

My birthday presents and cake were sitting around the table and I had had enough of waiting, so we ate birthday cake at 9:00 that night. Fun times!!!


Friday night we had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn on the cob, green beans, salad, and homemade rolls. Peach cobbler, lemon pie, and birthday cake for dessert. OH MY GOODNESS IT WAS GOOD!!!! I know I made Mamaw work really hard and I'm sorry for that. But, Mamaw, I think it was worth it! The kids are still talking about it.


Saturday we headed home. My birthday was over. Or so I thought.


Sunday I got to church and got 4 more gifts! How cool are church friends?! (you're cool too Leeann!HA!)


So birthday week is over but anniversary week is just beginning. We will be married 15 years Thursday! There is always something to celebrate around here!

I think its down right cruel that you named all the food yo Mammaw cooked. Sounds like those days of yesteryear when we would gather at Granny's to eat. Were the rolls Betty cooked the ones Granny was world famous for?

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
