Happy Birthday Anna

3rd Birthday

4th Birthday

5th Birthday


Anna,

Today you are six.

Today you don't have to ride in a car seat anymore. I think you probably will because you like sitting up higher and being able to see out the window.

Today it takes you two hands to show people how old you are.

Today you get to wear your birthday tiara and your "Birthday Girl" shirt all day. You will also get to wear the sombrero at the mexican restaurant. That will probably not make you happy, but you may surprise us and laugh through the whole song.

Today you are six. Six. Wow.

You are finishing kindergarten. You havehad a good first year of school. Next year will be better, I promise! You are so funny. And cute. And sweet. You have really come out of your shell. You aren't near as shy as you used to be. You start conversations with people and speak when spoken to. Prayers have been answered.

You are a delight. Your daddy and I love you so much we can hardly stand it at times. You make us laugh and at times you make me cry. I'm so glad God gave you to us.

Our prayer is that you will listen for Jesus knocking on your heart's door, and answer Him by giving your life to Him. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing that you are living a life pleasing to the Lord.

I love you Anna Kathryn. I'm so glad you are in my life.

Happy Birthday!
Mom (Julie)

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
