A Few Pictures

These are a few pictures from our life the last few days. It has been pretty normal around here. We're finishing up the school year, so our days are pretty much our own now. It doesn't seem like we've been home very much, running errands, visiting friends. Just going places and doing things. Friday night Stephen and I found ourselves unexpectedly alone for the evening. We went out to eat, shopped a little bit and had so much fun together. If you are married please devote time to your spouse. If it means putting the kids to bed early, or getting up the nerve to ask a friend to babysit, do it! It's important!

 This is Daniel, the 11 year old. He was so proud to show off the two flies he killed with his hands. My mom said he either had quick hands or they were slow flies! Daniel's shirt says "I'm the evil twin", approiate for this event!
Saturday we went to a few garage sales and David found this helmet. I knew when I saw it that it would be coming home with us. I mean how could David pass up an airsoft helmet with camo burlap glued on it? Well, he just couldn't, he's 11 and loves all things military!
Last Thursday Stephen and I went to a business expo in town. It was held at the convention center and when we were leaving we noticed the Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame. I didn't even know my town had such a museum. We went in and looked around, there are tons of famous people right here from Arkansas. This is Stephen standing in front of the Glen Campbell's gold record for Rhinestone Cowboy. Stephen loves that song and used to sing it as a child. The funny thing is that when I was 8, Daddy wanted to take me to see Star Wars but I couldn't go because I had to sing Rhinestone Cowboy at a talent show my neighbor and I were putting on for our neighbors on my front porch. The ticket price was a nickel, and people came!! I didn't even know Stephen then, but I'm pretty sure if he had heard me sing we wouldn't be married now! HA!

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
