TGIF

My babies have been gone to Disney World since last Saturday. They are coming back this Sunday (Yay) and I can't wait to see them!
Blake road his first roller coaster that goes upside-down. He was very excited about doing that. It was a fear of his that he overcame! Blake wanted to be the one to tell me about it so he wouldn't let Trenton tell me over the phone. Today, Poppa has taken the boys back to ride coasters again.
CeAnna has been saying her stomach hurts a lot. I hope it's just her nerves from being away from home and not a stomach bug.

We have went to Rocky Branch three times so far this week :) My grandmother who is almost 77 went with me Wednesday morning. I've always wanted her to come to church with me!
She has been my rock in life. I just love her so much! She seemed to enjoy it. I've always prayed that the Lord would make away for her to come, if she would ever have Holiness. She has a lot of obstacles in her life that the Lord would have to work out for her to ever come this way but the Lord knows all about her and that.

Me and KP have just been taking it easy being kid free! Its so weird to think we have never knew what it's like to be kid free!?! KP is in hog heaven having all my attention! lol We have been watching movies like crazy. He has even taken off today and we're thinking about going to eat lunch at Red Lobster. After all, it is Lobster Fest this month :) I love me some crab legs!!!

We just got in from Walmart. The dreaded school supplies list! x2!!! You have about two dozen items on each list and you have to find the exact size, color and quantity of each item! ARGGG! Here is my advice on that shopping trip. Ask your kids what color they want (in the items they do get to choose) but don't take them shopping with you. Do take a pen and another adult to help you. Hopefully your experience with this shopping trip is not near as difficult as what I find it to be. Arab has basically only a Walmart to shop at and only two aisle of school supplies.

Hope you all have a very enjoyable weekend!

and this is how we roll..... jk

Oh my goodness, please, turn down your volume, better yet, turn it off... My laugh will make dogs howl! I sound like a laughing hyena being brutally, murdered!
This is our boys being silly in between services during revival.

CeAnna

CeAnna turned nine on July, 6!!! To think that my baby, my youngest is nine years old is unbelievable! CeAnna has brought joy to our lives. She is full of happiness and she is contagious. She is a snuggler- I love that about her!
She is reserved in her mannerisms and tad bit shy and to us she is the perfect daughter!
I'm so thankful the good Lord blessed us with her!
Happy Birthday CeAnna! We love y-o-u!

My 4th and 5th was amazing! On the 4th we went to Poppa and Nannie's. Poppa can smoke an amazing Boston butt. I brought my "famous mash potatoes " as my kids call them! Nannie made this apple dessert that was so good, I've already attempted to make one myself.
I'm considering making Nannies dessert my second Sunday dessert.

After we all got stuffed like ticks, we went out on the boat. There is just something so relaxing about riding a boat. We pulled kids on the tube and then went riding. Later that night we watched the fireworks show in the valley and ate again! It was just a good-sweet day.

On the 5th we all slept in. I'm talking till eleven! Got up and went straight over to Brian and Brandi's where we ate lunch with a few friends. Later that night we grilled out chicken and had them over... It's been busy but I love being around my friends and family.

KP is now back to work and I've got three little monkeys in the house with me. The littlest monkey turned nine today. She informed me last night that she wanted to be woke up with blueberry pancakes, with a candle in it, served in bed!
When I heard her get up this morning I said "Nana, you ready for your pancakes"? She said "yes" hopped back in bed!!!

No Animals Were Harmed During The Making Of This Blog

Frog Legs it's what's for dinner

If only the video had not been accidentally erased when I threw my camera while trying to escape the burning flames pointed towards my head!!! I stupidly sat way to close to the enormous bottle rocket. It fell over smoking, flames shooting and pointing towards me just before lift off. Flip-flops, skirt and camera went flying! Trenton was screaming "momma you got to send that to America's Funniest Videos" I think they enjoyed seeing me panic a little to much!!!

Summer

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.















Love is to the heart what the summer is to the farmer's year - it brings to harvest all the loveliest
flowers of the soul.~Henry James








































































Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.
