Playing catch up

Today I am taking the boys to spend the weekend with my dad. We are meeting half-way(well, almost half-way.) They are going to go to their first Ole Miss football game EVER! Samuel is so excited. David and Daniel aren't as excited. The are just glad to be going and spending time with Grandaddy and Ms. Connie. I will tell you that David took a book to last weeks Star City High football game-AND READ IT! I have asked him to please not take a book with him to the Ole Miss game, there is no reason to give Grandaddy a heart attack right there in the stands.
I will run and pick them up Sunday after church, then run to Little Rock to pick up my Duck Duck Goose consignment sale check, and run back home to go to church for our second revival service. Sounds like fun, except that everytime I said run in that sentence it means an hour and a half. Yes, I will be guzzling some gas Sunday!

Wednesday's post was all about me. I wrote about the car accident I had while pregnant with Samuel. Wednesday was also the anniversary of my Papaw's death. He died when I was 13, so it has been 25 years now. Papaw was a great man. He always made me feel like I was the most special person around (and being the only grandaughter for 7 years I was! HA!). I have so many stories I could tell you. When I was giving the boys their "this day in history" lesson Wed I told them about Papaw, that he was a brave soldier, a loving grandfather, and a God-fearing man. A man that it was an honor to know and love. For those of you that remembered, Abby and I did too. Even though I am writing this, Abby feels the same way. I hate that she didn't know him for as long as I did.

We received news this morning that a church member of ours from Leachville died in the night. She was more than a church member to us really. We called her Nana, just like all of her grandkids, she made us feel like part of the family. She was a spit-fire. Red-headed, petite, feisty, loving, and always ready to give a hug.
Stephen started his duck-hunting career because of her husband and grandsons(I forgave them a long time ago!) She would cook breakfast for them early in the morning before they would hunt. By early I mean 4:00 AM. AM!! I didn't even wake up to know Stephen had left the house, and she was frying eggs and making biscuits! She received a special jewel in her crown this morning just for that!
Tracy, Dana, girls, Jill, James Lee, Shawn, Eva, and the rest of the Webb clan, we are grieving this loss with you. Thank you for sharing her with us.

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'
