Blog Award

So here are the rules:

1. When given the award you write about the seven things that you love.

2. Pass the award to 7 bloggers that you love, and be sure to tag them and let them know they've won. (You can copy the picture of the award and insert it in your post.)


This was awarded to me by Laura.


Things I love:

1. Jesus. 'Nuff Said. (Only people in Eli country would get that.)

2. My family. I have been blessed beyond measure. I am aware of how fast things can change and try to savor those precious moments that go by so quickly.

3. Traveling. New places and old. Much of our traveling has been placed on hold due to having small children. However, Carter and Hunter are ready to go and I'm impressed with how much they remember upon returning. They were recently given some rest stop brochures from Grandma Jackie's trip to Missouri and have picked to head to Chattanooga (after the beach, of course). I'm ready to go!

4. Photographs. Old, new, staged, random, in a trunk, still on the camera, I love looking at pictures. I desire to get myself an SLR and get myself some skills, but I will wait to purchase said SLR until I have time to take some photography classes. I love messing with Photoshop AND digital scrapbooking too!

5. Accomplishment. Nothing makes me feel better than a job well done. I have WAY too many unfinished projects all all times. Maybe that is why I relish the feeling of FINALLY getting SOMETHING completed.

6. Friends. Good ones are hard to come by. I love my friends that brighten my day, make me laugh, and let me vent. With kids and work, I haven't had much time to spend with my friends, but I have some great friendships that have been around since my school days. I also have worked with some really great people over the years. We have been blessed with recently joining a great church in our community, and I now have the opportunity to get to know many of my neighbors. I am looking forward to building friendships with the great people I have met at West Park Heights Baptist.

7. Home cooking. I try not to do it TOO MUCH for health reasons, but Paula Deen's recipes speak to my Southern Girl roots and are too good to resist. I also like to make things I had while growing up. Either my mom and grandmother were the best cooks ever, or the memories just add that little something. YUM! Now I'm hungry...

I don't know 7 bloggers...but I will present this award to Diana and Cantina.

Easter 2009

The Easter Bunny was good to the boys this year...even though we dyed the eggs at 8PM the night before. All the "egg hunts" were with plastic eggs this year, which the kids prefer, due to the candy/prizes inside. We went to our new church on Easter morning and the kids made it through the "grown-up" service, so it has been a great day so far. Now, on to lunch at Grandma Jackie's house for Easter dinner!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...

Our special visitor....

Do I have a story to tell you! Last night Hunter ask if he could go out to the van and look for his Nintendo DS. I let him go and then made sure he locked the door as he came in. This morning, as I stepped outside to take some things to the car before we left for school/work, I noticed the sliding door on the van was wide open. I started griping to the boys "Good grief, now the battery is going to be dead....AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" They came running out the door to find an "American Bulldog" curled up in Carter's seat. After I got my wits about me, I sent them back in and tried to talk the dog out of the car. Then I tried to entice him out with a hot dog. He just stared at me. Then I got a stick, opened up all the doors and yelled at him to try to scare him out. He just ran behind the seat and hid in the back. When I got really agressive he started quivering his lip like he was going to growl at me. He was scared of me and I of him. All the while, I was documenting th...
