Party In The Rock


If you are a follower of our blog, you know Paige. She is my precious friend from college. We worked together at Conway Regional Fitness Center, were in the same major and had lots of fun times laughing together. She played the piano and sang at our wedding, and she and I have experienced a lot of life together in the past decade. This girl, is a trooper and I am so glad she is my friend. She now lives in Little Rock her little girl Charlie Kate (CK).


Henry and Charlie Kate celebrate every birthday together. They love each other. It is so sweet. They are both so busy these days, it is hard to get a photo of them sitting still. CK is 6 months older than Henry. She turned 3 this past week. Hard to believe!

 Her party was in Little Rock at The Little Gym. We are dedicated to each other's babies to drive 2+ hours each year for these parties, I tell ya! I wouldn't have it any other way. Henry is no gymnast. He proved he is all boy in his smocked shortall and I think it made his daddy proud!


Henry decided to stick his finger in the candle flame and burn himself during the singing of "Happy Birthday To You". He was a bit impatient and wanted some cake! The cake was super cute and yum. A friend from college that now works with Paige made CK's cake last year and again this year. She is super talented, as you can see.

 Henry calls her "Chardie Cake" and I just love to hear him say it. She had a fun birthday party. Isn't she a cutie in that parachute?! Her grandmother was so nervous they were going to lift her off the ground. It was the funniest thing. I am so glad they didn't go airborne with her because I am not sure what Mrs. Barbara would have done! I love Paige's mom.

After the party we got our eat on at PF Chang's. I miss living in a big city and being able to eat good food whenever. We enjoyed our dinner but Henry still thinks those people forgot his french fries. He was troubled that the chicken nuggets (sweet and sour chicken without the sauce) came with no fries. I love that country child of mine! We have really got to refine him a bit.

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

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
