A Few Things

Just a few things I was thinking about...

1) When Daddy and Connie were here, a couple of my kids were displaced from their beds. One slept in the living room, and when I walked in the next morning I looked down to see him all wrapped up and comfy. In Granny's tablecloth!! In the linen closet I have one tablecloth and 54 blankets. He chose the tablecloth. In his defense, it was soft, big, and he thought it was a blanket. I'm hoping Granny was honored by his choice. I was kind of mortified!

2) Since Henry was a baby and couldn't even speak, I've been telling him, "Juju is pretty." Last week I would tell him to tell me and he would sweetly say, "Juju is pretty" wih a cute, shy smile. Melt my heart.

3) Samuel has a girlfriend now and she spends some time with us, eating, watching movies and stuff like that. Can I just say I enjoy this so much?! I know this is just the beginning of girlfriends for my boys.  and I'm looking forward to it.

4) David and Daniel are going to youth camp Monday, it'll be the first time for them to go. They've been going to church camp since before they could walk, and now they're going, without me, to youth camp. Wow, time flies! Samuel is working and won't be able to go, he wishes he could, that boy loves church camp!

5) We're planning a spur-of-the-moment beach vacation in a couple of weeks. We usually go in September, or like last year, November, so a June beach vacation is intriguing to me. I'm anticipating heat, and a lot of people. I'm not a big fan of either, but I do love the beach, so we'll make the best of it!

6) my new favorite food is Wholly Guacamole. Have you tried it? You must! It's so good, and you don't have to smush up your own avocados. Go get some!

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
