I'm Going To Be An Aunt To A Nephew

Can you believe it?

I just love boys. I love browns, and blues. Trucks, balls, hammers, and dinosaurs.

I love tennis shoes and the fact that you can put a boy in a shirt and jeans and voila! the boy is dressed!

Randall is going to be an awesome boy daddy. And Abby has so much experience with little boys that she will have no problems at all in the boy side of the kids department!

OK! Enough of that!

Do you know what today is?

Yes! August 1st.

The beginning of my birthday week and also the beginning of my anniversary month.

If you have been reading this blog for long you know that I love birthdays. We do birthdays up big at my house. No school happens. No work happens. Only birthday stuff happens on the big day!

My big day is Saturday. (And when I say big, I don't mean big as in a momentous birthday, that will be next year-and I expect a party!)

The boys have planned a trip to see the Travelers play in Little Rock. That will be just fine with me, as long as there is some shopping involved while we are in the big city.

Stephen and I will be celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary on the 14th. I will post more about that later. Maybe with pictures, but I make no promises.

I hope ya'll have a great August. I hope it isn't too hot, and that the back-to-school season goes good for all of you.

Another cute Anna quote; " I made this for your birthday. But it isn't very birthday presenty." Isn't that cute, not only is she making me something for my birthday but she is making up new words too!

I just have a feeling that Anna
will grow up to be a writer.
And, I hope your birthday is very special since its the last one in your 30s you'll ever experience.
See, I remembered your age !
Love you,
Y.D.

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
