Birthday Blessings


 There are several of our loves celebrating birthdays this week and in the coming weeks.  I thought we would give a shout out to them. We are blessed to have another year with you!

 Our Aunt Suzy is first up on the calendar. She is our grandmother's sister and a wonderful aunt, advocate, teacher and friend to all of us who are blessed to be in her clan. We had the pleasure of celebrating with her last year on her birthday. This picture is from that fun surprise party at the Clinton Library. We love you, Auntie!


It is the birthday season for aunts. Our mother's sister is celebrating a milestone year soon. Woo Hoo. We love TBEO, our Aunt Janet. She is always smiling and has such a positive spirit to share with everyone who comes in her path. What a blessing it is to call The Blue Eyed One our Aunt. Aunt J, I wish I could make you our special strawberry cake to celebrate :)

And who can forget an uncle as dear as this one. We love our Uncle Joe ("UJ"). He is married to our dad's sister, our Aunt Babs' better half.  I cannot imagine life without our animal cracker eating, Boots the dog loving, numbers crunching, wood working, unconditional loving uncle.  He is a rock for our crew and loves us girls like his very own.

What a blessing it was to see this perfectly precious girl born to our cousin Sarah. Grace Elizabeth is TBEO's first grandbaby too! She will celebrate 11 years soon and I know her talented mother has some creative and genius birthday idea on tap. She and Anna are great buddies and bring so much sweet and spice to the snips, snails and puppy dog tails in our group. We hope you have a "funtastic" year, Gracie!

 And I cannot forget this sweet and chubby tenderhearted baby...who is not a chubby baby anymore! Melissa's middle one, Grant is going to be 8. What a blessing to get to love her babies and watch them grow up to be such sweet and strong boys. Grant is one of Henry's most favorite people. He has the sweetest spirit...just like his mama!

If you are one of our loves and I happened to miss you in this post and you have a birthday in the coming weeks, it was not intentional. Shoot me a message and I'll find a picture of us and I'll add you to this celebration!!

Happy Birthday!!!
Abby (and Julie too!)

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
