Fair Fun


We took Henry to the Craighead County Fair this week. We ran into our friends as soon as we got there. It was great fun. Quinn and Henry climbed on a tractor because they both love some farm equipment and are smart enough to know red and blue are just as good as green. Well rounded boys! I thought this photo was so precious. I may have to put it on my memo board. It is a keeper.


 Randall and I were both representing our state pride at the fair. It was unintentional and fun. Randall was saying "cheese" in this picture. it makes me laugh.


All Henry was concerned about was finding a red car to ride. So, that we did. He was such a big boy to ride all by himself. He was a little hesitant at first but once the ride started he was all grins.


The Jeep ride required him to ride with another little boy. His facial expression in this picture is priceless. He is looking at that boy like "why you in my Jeep, punk?!"


He then found a red flying boat and it was on! He was all grins and giggles.


Henry waved his hands in the air and just laughed when it would fly. Randall and I were so smitten with it. Our little baby is turning into a big boy. It is so fun to watch him discover life even in the simple things like a kiddie ride at the fair.


Randall's fair highlight was his red velvet funnel cake. Oh my word, it was so fine! It had cream cheese drizzled on it with the powdered sugar. I ate a few bites of it and he was not real kind about sharing it with me. I love to see the fair food. It is always fun to see what crazy stuff they come up with and it is usually always good eats!

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'
