Celebrations and Sirens...What A Week

We started our Easter week with Daddy home because of all the rain. It is a catch 22 having him home...it is good, and bad. Oh the life of a wife of an agri man, I tell ya! Anyway, he likes to crawl in Henry's bed when he wakes up and surprise him. It about does me in , but it is cute, so I deal.




Henry got to experience his first Easter egg hunt this past weekend. He was so cute! I made his hunt bucket and had his shirt made. He is rotten, you know?!




It was a windy, windy afternoon but so much fun. Henry was a little unsure while all the other children were running at warp speed, but he soon took off and went after the "balls" and he managed to get 4 of them. We were proud, and even prouder when we found candy and quarters inside the eggs!




We had the hunt with some of my friends and Henry loved seeing everyone and playing at the park!




His little class had an Easter Sunrise Breakfast this week and I loved being able to go and sit with him. He loved showing me all his little tricks at school. It was cute.





His little friends are so precious and gobbled up all their Easter goodies. Henry got up and danced to Veggie Tales for them and made the parents laugh. I fear I have had my father's child!




Randall's mom came for a little visit this week and was kind enough to do my hair while she was here. It was WAY past due and she is the queen of color, so I was excited she came with her first aid hair bag!




It is not Spring here without a little visit to the closet. Henry and I stayed in the closet for 2 hours this week, while the storm passed through. The tornado siren is right outside our house so it is rather freaky when it goes off. The power then surged and the house alarm went off. I really thought I might meet Jesus at that very moment...just sayin! It was a siren roaring, wind roaring event, but my baby slept through the whole thing, thankfully.

We are looking forward to a few more celebrations before rounding out our Easter week. I love this week. The build up from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday is magnificent. I hope your week has been half as exciting as ours...ha!

What a fun post. I know Henry enjoyed hunting eggs for the first time. It is always so precious. We had to spend some time in the closet here too. Very scary and without power for a long time.

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
