Jaycee's Day

Today was Jaycee official birthday..We took her to the street fair downtown and she did some shopping with her birthday money.
She is into Zebra print and Ole Miss Rebels..Boy,did she finds some things to buy..She wanted to show off what she got.

Her Zebra striped bag,Ole Miss door mat,a cup,a Rebel necklace,Zebra print throw and her Ole Miss shirt(from Emily and Ms.Heidi).The pillow she has had.

Peace,Love and Rebels...Cool shirt..Thanks,Em and Ms.Heidi

Goodness,How they grow so fast and time goes by so quickly..Jaycee came into our lives,made us parents for the first time and has changed us for the better in all kinda ways.There is something wonderful,beautiful and amazing in my first born that words can never describe how much love I fill inside.I know our bond is and will be the strongest a mother and daughter can have.Jaycee,I love you soooo much.

Daughters are precious flowers that never fade.

Our first born turns 10..WOW...Where does the time go? I know just yesterday she was dancing around in her diaper and singing a little diddy..Now she dancing around in some funky outfit singing Miley Cyrus and Jonas Boys..I know I missed it somewhere with her.You know parents putting to much on the first born,it kinda makes ya the miss the wonderful baby years.So,I am trying to make-up lost time having special time with Jaycee these days..


Her first Bday pinata,Jaycee took the first swing and it broke..

Her cake with puppy paws on it..Thank you Aunt Step.for making those for us.

Before the paws.

Silly girl.

Sweet smile

Though her bday is on the 8th..Daddy had this weekend off cuz the weekend after her birth date we have a three day swim meet...Being praying for Jaycee and Janna..They really wanna do well.

I want to "Thanks" to everyone who made it out to celebrate with us..Jaycee had a wonderful time with her friends and family,so did I..

Aunt Jill and Aunt Missy,Jaycee says she missed you guys but knows Aaron is looking forward to going to a good college.She hopes it with be Ole Miss in the future.

Costume Party

Our friend Heidi has had a costume party for the last few years.It is small and quaint.
We always have a nice,low-keyed gathering with the kids and each other.I love to go cuz it's good times with my friends and my kids friends.
It was even better this year cuz Steven has home to go.The moms got to walk and talk,while my sweet honey man kept up with the kids..Thank you--Babe But most of all "Thank you Heidi"for your wonderful hospitality and your willingness to have all of us crazy people at our house at one time..Especially,when Ned comes for a quick visit.

The Pirates of Nantucket and Punkie Brewster...Cute costumes
Janna said she was a "Fairy Girl"or something to that affect.

Kenzie was a Fun Witch

Cory was a Bama fan

Kesley and Lauryn were nerds

Cutest Pirate I ever seen

Amy,I should've put some freckles on K's face.

My fairy girl stationed herself by the candy bowl.

Craving pumpkins with the Kids

My S-I-L invited us over for some special chili and pumpkin craving.Missy had bought a craving kit with stencils.It was a blast and it was easier than we thought;
I think the dads had more fun than the kids and the moms.The pumpkins turned out pretty neat.It didn't take long and we had a great time together.

Sweet kids

Brotherly Love

Do these baby girls have moms or what? Look at their messy heads of hair..

Daddy was at work and didn't make it until we were finished with the festivity
He did make home in time to eat chili and play golf on the T.V

AKA:Corndog

Yes,I have hit the big 40 with not much change..I feel the same(like I'm still 25).I guess it really is how you feel in your heart and head that determines how you look at yourself on the outside,knowing who you are in Jesus and how much in love he is with you..It gets ya past this age stuff.
My wonderful husband(who I didn't think was so great a few weeks back)had all these things planned to surprise me.The trip to Gatlinburg,the spa day,and the cake with friends.So,I ask forgiveness for those weeks in the past and look at Steven in a whole new light.Girl,don't ever think your man doesn't have it in him...He does and mine showed me up with all the things he can do.Thank you,Babe for everything you have done and all you do for me.
O.k.,I know you guys are wondering about the AKA: Corndog on my cake.My beautiful friend Angie,her husband Danny seems to think all of Angie's friends need nicknames.Well,he was thinking of my one day when all of a sudden my son John said something about doing the corndog and from then on my nickname has been Corndog.I know, not a very sweet name but never the less an orginial one,don't ya think.
The Corndog Cake

This has been one of the best moments in my life.

We sang...

We laughed.....

We blew out candles....

We had a fun time..The girls had a big time helping me open my gifts..

Thank you to my friends and family who were able to come celebrate

with me and my family..Family and friends are the greatest gift a person

can have and I am blessed with so many..
