Getting Carded


This boot wearing cutie got his very own library card today. He was so excited. I told him this morning that we would go this afternoon when I picked him up if she was a big boy today at school. He proved to be a big boy according to his teacher, so we jetted one block over from his school to our local library.

He watches Bubble Guppies alot and one of his favorite episodes is the one about the library. He kept asking me, "Where's the author?" the whole time we were at the library today. He never comprehended, but it is not for my lack of trying! ha.


Henry showing off his card. He was so proud of it. He loved playing in the children's area of our library. He rode on the toy firetruck, played several little games and wanted every book in the place. We checked out 8 books and 2 DVDs. We have read all 8 tonight and watched both DVDs. I think we will be going back again pretty soon! I love making simple little memories with my sweet boy and having the time during the day to enjoy these moments.  What a little blessing.

I have such fond memories of the library growing up. It was in downtown Fort Smith. I remember going there with Julie alot and then going as a teenager with friends to write papers and such. The stairs were insane in that place and echoed so badly. I got in trouble ALOT for being loud, imagine that! I also always had a fine and even lost a book for a few years. Not a very good friend of the library, as you can see.

 I hope Henry has better library etiquette than me. But after witnessing him on that firetruck in there today, I have my doubts. He kept yelling, "Mama, you staying here with me, Mama?!" as I would get out of his eye shot while looking for books. Oh, that sweet child of mine is a needy little mess!

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
