Daybook Entry

In the great outdoors...Today was a cool day, a nice day to wear my army green jacket that I wear ALL the time.

Within our walls...We bunked David and Daniel's beds today, for the first time in 2 1/2 yrs. 

A heart of Thanksgiving...While shopping at Walmart today I was feeling a bit lonely, I guess that's what I get for always taking someone with me when I go, and I noticed all the moms with their children in the aisles. I just wanted to thank each one of them and thank them for shopping with them, it brightened my day.

A heart of prayer...I'm praying for Samuel more than ever these days. As he gets older he is facing experiences that are new to him and he's having to figure out the mature, Christian way to handle himself and others. It's not always easy to sit and watch it happen.

Random observation...Teenage girls are still mean.

My silly children...I bought a 10 lb tube of ground beef today and you would thought it was a toy. All four kids carried it around and played with it. It was wierd.

Thoughts from the kitchen...Nachos tonight, but to Anna's dismay we just had shredded cheese,  no cheese dip.

Projects being worked on...Stephen is making desks for David and Daniel. Now that the beds are bunked, theres room for desks. Another place to put stuff.

Sounds of the moment...Stephen is running the saw outside, building the desks. A few minutes ago he cut the saw cord with the saw. It was funny. Very funny!

What I'm wearing...Levi's, burgundy short sleeved sweater, navy socks.

On the calendar...Samuel's baseball season begins this week. Yay! We're very excited about watching him play ball again.


This picture is of Stephen and Samuel from Sarah's wedding in 2001. The eyelashes on this little guy are just too much for his mama to bear.

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'
