Happy Birthday to My Baby Boy!!!!

Today is my baby boy's birthday.  I can't believe that my Jarrett is 4!!!!  Jare, Jare, Mommy loves you, and I am so thankful that God gave you to me!!!  You are my sweet boy and I love you very much!!!!!

A Disturbing Night!

It has been a while, but I had to jump on here really quick.  Did you watch Jon and Kate tonight?  I am so upset!!  They are getting a divorce.  I understand how badly she treated Jon, but how about fighting for your marriage?  You made it through the difficulty of rearing 6 babies.  I can only imagine how hard that was, but how about using some of that energy to fight for your marriage?

I feel badly for all of them.  BTW, where is their church family?  Where is someone from Lifeway, or these other Christian bookstores who sell their books?  I can only hope and pray that someone will come into their path and provide some godly counsel.

Let's remember to pray for the Gosslins and their kids.

On Vacation...

We are enjoying a week of vacation this week.  We have been to Atlanta, come home for a trip meeting and tomorrow, are headed out again probably to the beach for a day or so.  I will post pictures and detail our trip later.  I hope you all are enjoying your summer... Talk to you soon!!!

It Went by So Fast...

This last week went so fast.  I know I promised to post some pictures, but it was crazy.  I am going to post about my middle girl Hannah Beth.  She had her first ballet recital on Saturday. Ya'll I am not just saying this because she is my daughter, but she was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.  Here she is:

  

I told you!  Doesn't she look like a princess?  She had the best time and this totally made her feel special.  Have you seen the movie "Cheaper By the Dozen"  with Steve Martin?  IF you haven't you should it is totally funny and a glimpse into our life, but ours is much smaller.  Anyway one of the middle kids has the nick name "Fed Ex" because they say he is not like the rest of them so the Fed Ex man must have left you on the doorstep.  Hannah Beth is our Fed Ex.  she does her own thing and is the only one of our children that could be an only child.  The classic middle child.  For her to be on that stage with all of us watching and cheering her own was by far the greatest moment of her life!  Mom and Dad were proud too.  It was the best $3

5 a month we could have spent to see the joy and happiness on her face.  

Her is our ballet girl on the big stage!  

Hanny, Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!  You are such a joy to us and we love you "Ballet Girl!"

Catching Up

Boy how time flies!!  I can't believe that it has been a while since I updated.  Tonight the older 3 are spending the night with a family from church, so Jamie, Chara, Jarrett and I were going to watch the race, but since it is rained out, we are watching Night at the Museum in stead.  Great movie and maybe we can see the new one soon.  Not sure what we will do tomorrow, but it will be relaxing.  

I hope you all have a good relaxing day tomorrow! I will post some new photos this week.  Have a good rest of your night.

A Busy Weekend!

We have had such a busy but good weekend!  Friday we went to Darlington to the race.  It was my first NASCAR race and it was so much fun.  Here are a few pictures...

The Kids

Saturday we had a car wash and bake sale for our Mission Trip.  We did really well.  Thanks to everyone who helped out with it!

Sunday was a great Mother's Day!  It was a great family day.  It rained some but all in all was great.  This was over our house after the rain!  

I am so glad that God keeps His promises!  Whatever He promises, He will do.  We can trust Him!  Take that with you this week!  Trust Him!

If you haven't seen my facebook update today, then this will be news to you. As you read this we are on our way here:

This will be my first race to see in person and I am so excited!!!! I know it won't be the big boys but I will still be able to see some of my favorite drivers. Jamie, Kaylee, Noah and I and going as well as 4 others. I will take LOTS of pictures and will share next week! I hope you have a great weekend!

PS: If you are in the Williston area, stop by the First Citizens Bank in town tomorrow, we are having a car wash and bake sale and all the proceeds go towards our mission trip!
