no bore fourth





We had a fun filled Fourth of July Weekend. Started off with Swimming and BBQ on the 3rd and then a lazy day on the 4th. It is amazing what a couple of dollars worth of fireworks will do to entertain us. Good times. I am so grateful for our freedom and for our troops who help us!!

Daddy's Day

A Dad is a Son's first HERO and a Daughter's first LOVE.

Father's Day

I remember Daddy's hands folded silently in prayer and reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare. You could read quiet a story in the calluses and lines years of work and worry had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy's hands how they held my Momma tight and patted my back for something done right. There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the Man but I always remember the love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying, Daddy's hands were hard as steal when I done wrong Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand, there was always love in Daddy's hands.
I remember Daddy's hands working til' they bled sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed. If I could do things over I'd live my life again and never take for granted the love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand there was always love in Daddy's hands.

6 is the trick...


My Bubba turned a year older. We made a whole weekend out of it. We spent the one morning at Chuck E Cheese ( do you think that his mom could get one picture of his friends an family that joined us..NO!! our besties the Barker Family, Paiton, and Aspen's girls..oh and his Nana) had a fun stuffin time! The next day we went to church and after we had his Grand parents, Aunt and Uncle from my side over for cake and ice cream.

6 is the trick to get...new roller blades :)
and a BB gun...yes we are those kind of parents!!


We are so proud of our little man. I just love his tenderness to pieces..but he could act his age every once and a while!! I love you Bubba!!

look who's 32!!

Wow I have been 32 for a whole month!! It really is no big deal, just another day.

Jason took the motorcycle out of storage and we did a time warp back to when we we're dating, back to 18 again....Went to dinner, a dollar movie and ice cream. Stayed out past curfew, after 1 AM. We had a great time as usual.

I had several other's make me feel special. Thanks to all of my family and friends that made it great! ( my favorite part, is always what the kids do for me. It's fun seeing what they pick out. They love making a big deal out of it and that makes me even happier! )

Age is earned~ Here's to another year!
