Life with my sister

A couple of months ago I noticed a wart on the bottom of my right foot. And then I noticed one on the bottom of my left foot. I ignored them for a few days and then realized I needed to get rid of them. So, because I have a medical degree I headed to Walmart. I found some Walmart brand wart remover bandaids and bought them. All I had to do was put the wart bandaid on the wart and change it every two days. Have you ever tried to keep a bandaid on your foot for two days? It's difficult. I changed them almost daily. And the pain just got worse.  So today I was working and knew that I had to go to a doctor. Stephen had been telling me the whole time to make an appointment so I did. For May 15!!! Luckily, right after I made the appointment they called back and said I could come in at 1:00 today! I told the doctor I wanted them off, I didn't care how she did it, I just needed them gone!  She put some liquid on them and told me I was good to go. And I was, until about five hours late...

In the great outdoors...It's looking to be a stormy day. We woke up at 6:00 to thunder, lightening, and rain. Waiting on tornado's now. Within our walls...Stephen is grilling chicken for supper (doing it early before the storms), Samuel is at baseball practice, the rest of us are just chillin inside. A Heart of Thanksgiving...Samuel safely attended prom Friday night. I don't know why everyone expects kids to lose their heads on prom night, but we do. Samuel had fun and looked quite handsome.   A Heart of Prayer...Praying for Delta Baptist a lot lately.  Random Observation...Speeding through Star City isn't a good idea! My silly children...Stephen just overheard Anna tell a boy outside, " I wouldn't mess with me, I have tons of guns at my house." Thoughts from the Kitchen...Grilled chicken tonight with potato salad and a veggie.  Projects...The only project I have going on is making a list of places to go for Anna's birthday shopping trip! Sounds of the...

Tonight has been a night of elegance and dirt.  Samuel went to prom tonight with his girl Lauren. They make the cutest couple, and man they clean up good! They both play ball and can get pretty dirty and sweaty. But not tonight. Tonight, they were elegant, and beautiful/handsome. And then we had this. To celebrate David and Daniel's birthdays we had a campout tonight with their buddies. Daniel started a campfire, we roasted hot dogs, they had an air soft battle, and then got into the tent and had many, many laughs! I could hear them laughing from inside the house. Oh, the fun boys can have.

Sunday, Anna turned 10.  Unbelievable. All of our kids are double digits now. My how time flies! This isn't the cake she requested, but one that Stephen's dad surprised her with. We hadn't picked up her requested cake yet. But the girl loves birthday cake, so the more cake the better!! Marmie even made an Easter peep cake. Three cakes in one weekend!! Anna, we love you so much and are proud of the girl you are.

13 years ago today I was surprised by the birth of David and Daniel. When I woke up that morning I had no idea that when I went to bed that night I would have two more babies in my life.  It was a day full of surprises, suspense, and changes in plans for quite a few people. I was a nervous wreck that afternoon. Knowing I was going to have a c-section, no family being with me when I got to the hospital, and the thought of having two babies at one time a month early,  But God, of course, was so good. Stephen came home early, my daddy kept Samuel for us, Mom called and calmed me down a bit, and Stephen's parents came in time to hear their first cry. It was a good day 13 yrs ago today. Happy Birthday David! Happy Birthday Daniel! You are loved more than you know!

I can't do Easter morning with out that song playing in my head. I love it! We enjoyed getting all festive in our attire this morning. We actually took this of ourselves using a homemade tripod of a step ladder and a Bible for the camera to sit on. One shot was all it took. We may have a new homemade system established for family selfies! Ha.  My boys are so fine!    This sweet thing looked like a little man and has a new found love for the bow tie. I sure missed the smocked bunny outfit after 4 years of them, but all good things must come to an end!  Henry Patton loved his basket of goodies. He literally bolted down the hall this morning in his underwear looking for his basket. I couldn't get the lights turned on quick enough. He is all boy! He loves taking his Bible to church with him each time. Look at him holding it ;) Nana coming for Easter is always a treat (Papa too). We love their visits. She is always so great to do my dishes for me. It makes me love her mor...

  We have geared up for Easter this past week or two. Henry says Easter is mine...meaning, he knows I love it a lot. It is truly one of my most favorite things.  He dyed eggs with Kool-Aid at his Nana's house this week. He enjoyed that as much as she did, I'm certain! We are thankful for her being close and able to keep him on a whim. This time of year is nutso for real estate and agriculture!  In the midst of our week of Easter fun we went to see about some prekindergarten options. He enjoyed it more than me, I'm certain! Lol.  We decided it was time to introduce him to the fire at the steak house this week.  He loved it! It was hysterical to watch him.  Henry enjoyed his Easter party at school. He is the cutest bunny ever!  Good Friday was spent egging some friends. We left filled eggs and one empty to symbolize the empty tomb. At each stop I had him tell me why we left an empty egg and he would tell me "because Jesus is not in there. He's alive, Mam...
