Daybook Entry

In the great outdoors...This has been the best summer. I love sitting outside and I've been able to do a lot of it this summer. This morning we woke up to rain, thinder, and lightening, but then it cleared off to be a beautiful day.

Within our walls...Today I worked on our school schedule and my work schedule for the next few weeks. I think we're ready to get back into a routine.




A heart of thanksgiving.... There was an incident at cousins camp that was much more serious than we knew at the time, and we are all very thankful that no one was hurt. While playing in the lake the kids all felt a tingling feeling in their hands, and later in their feet and legs. We thought it was weird at first and then got worried, so we got them out. Turns out, there was an electrical current in the lake where we were. It could have been a tragic situation, thankful that no one was injured.

A heart of prayer...School is starting soon, teachers are already in their rooms preparing for another year. I'm praying for them and their students.

Random observations...44 is old! And I should know.



My silly children...On the way to cousins camp we listened to an 80's and 90's Christian cd. It took me back in time, but the kids abruptly returned me to the present time by assaulting the lyrics. It was like Weird Al had taken over Christian music. I hope they still get to go to heaven.

Thoughts from the kitchen...Chicken and dumplings tonight! Anna rolled out the dumplings, she loves to do anything that has to do with dough.

What I'm reading...I've read a couple of books lately. I don't know their titles, but they've held my attention.

Sounds of the moment...I'm sitting outside with a cold coke, my Kindle, IPad, and listening to the kids play in the pool. Perfect summer day.

What I'm wearing...Khaki shorts, black striped henly, flip flops (because I'm outside). My go to shoe this summer has been my zebra striped Sanuks. I wear them to work and they are so comfortable. They're my new favorite shoe.

A favorite thing from last week...



This was pure sweetness. At the pool I was laying in a chair, and Henry came up to me wet, with floaties on and laid on my dry body. It was the sweetest few moments. He didn't say anything, he just needed a little Juju time.

On the calendar..The calendar is getting full. I like a full calendar!

My favorite picture...
This girl has some mad jumping skills!! (That's Abby by the way)

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
