More Than A Song

One of my favorite gifts I gave this year was something I did for Ava Clair. I made her a pink “dress up” dress to play in! I had forgotten that little sleeves and little seams are a bit harder to do than big people things but I enjoyed doing it and liked how it […]

From my family to yours, another belated Merry Christmas…….and a great big ‘ol HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope everyone has a great year. This is the card I sent out this year for Christmas; I was pretty pleased with it! Oldest child Trent is on the left with his sweet family. Don & I are next […]

Hope everyone has had a wonderful and blessed Christmas season! We certainly have……we are busy with lots of family and friends visiting, eating, hanging out, watching movies, etc. I hope to get back here regularly in a few more days. Enjoy your holiday season!

Last week my son was getting ready to come home from college for Christmas break. He ran an errand for me on Thursday and then did some shopping for himself also. He went back to the dorm to finish packing and loading his truck; most everyone else was already gone. Coming back out of the […]

Christmas Tree Treasures. Morning Glory at Seeds From My Garden is hosting this today. We get to post pictures and tell a little about some of the ornaments on our tree. This sounds like fun and I’m looking forward to seeing the others. Click below to see pictures of some of my ornaments:

For kids that would be, exam time! The BSU at the college my kids have attended offers exam survival kits to be delivered to your student right before exams begin. The money they raise goes to their summer missions projects & we’ve always done this to support them but…… YIKES, we missed the deadline for […]

I am glad to be home. 🙂 We had a great Thanksgiving, maybe I can get to some pictures later but not sure I have that many that are applicable to Thanksgiving. We were at the beach for a week with hubby’s whole extended family to celebrate his mom’s upcoming 80th birthday. Had a blast, […]

This past weekend we were out and about. Went to Jackson to see some family and so hubby and bro- in-law could play golf. Which they always enjoy but they are so ready to be better at it! And E and her boyfriend came for dinner on Friday in Jackson also. We had pizza and […]

Sandra has invited us to share our traditions for the holidays. I missed doing this the first time around but she has graciously redone her post so more of us can share in this. I love Christmas and we have done several things over the years with our children to try to make it meaningful […]

I’ve got a child in college, a son……….getting an education, right? They have skits for homecoming every year done by the different organizations on campus. D was in Civitan’s skit this year, called “The Great Date Search” I think, and one of his friends put it up on youtube. I know Stacy won’t watch it […]

The latter part of this week has been fall break for E……I think she needed it, to catch up on some school work, reading, and of course sleeping! I think the massive amount of reading has her the most bogged down. We have done a few things around here and some errands. We also have […]

One year ago this week, we were at Disneyworld! Had a blast…..went with Trent, Shanna and the kids. We’ve talked about it some this week and Trent says that Shanna has the Disney bug again! It is such a fun place and that trip was one of the best that we had taken there before. […]

Stacy had a friend at the butterfly gardens……….a good friend that stuck to her and liked her a lot while we were in the butterfly room! Come see!

We made a quick trip to Houston over the weekend to see Shanna, Trent & the kids. Don & Tim played golf on Friday afternoon, we spent the night & had a really early flight out Saturday morning. Trent picked us up at the airport & we went to their house to spend a couple […]

For the few people that read my blog, you probably know that Elizabeth is the one of my children that does NOT like fish at all. Doesn’t want to eat it, look at it or talk about it……she will eat shrimp and maybe some other shellfish which I keep telling her aren’t as good for […]
