Ouch!

My poor boy can't seem to catch a break! Check out that whopper on his lip! He had a tumble down the stairs saturday and landed flat on his face. Luckily it seems like it looks worse than it was! Maybe we should cover him in bubble wrap......

Father's Day

We went to church this morning and listened as my dear friend, David, gave the message. Let me tell ya'll that David tore it up! I love David. He is kind of like an earthly father to me. I have never really known my own father and even though I have a step father, I have always lacked that relationship in my life until I met David. I can talk to David about anything. He never hangs up the phone without telling me that he loves me. He never sees me without giving me a hug. It was no accident that our paths crossed. I believe completely that my Heavenly Father had a hand in that. So with that I want to wish David a happy Father's Day!

Its About Time,lol....

I am sure ya'll remember this post from over a year ago! Actually it is the post that is most visited on my blog through google I guess. Well over a year later and we have completed this project! Yep, those steps were without stain for over a year! I had to take these pictures with my phone which would explain their small size but ya'll get the idea. Oh and we also finished painting that knotty pine that was in the foyer!

Hannah is back from camp!

Hannah just got back from her second year at Deer Run. Deer Run is a non- denominational Christian camp here in Middle Tennessee. She had a blast! I have been working on her camp laundry and if ya'll know anything about camp laundry it can be stinky! Not to mention, Hannah wore her brand new tennis shoes in the creek! I think I have managed to slavage them! However the biggest camp news is that Hannah accepted God into her life! I don't pressure my kids when it comes to these things. These are decisions they need to make. I am so proud of Hannah and all of her accomplishments this past week!

My first Face Book Party!

I have a friend, Heather, who is the co- owner and lead designer of PeaPod Announcements. Yesterday was PeaPods fourth birthday so Heather decided to throw a party.....face book style! She had trivia, meet and greet, and a contest in which she allowed her fans to name two of her new designs. Pea Pod specializes in party invitations, birth announcement, and so on! There were lots of great prizes! I managed to win a set of party invites! Can I tell you how perfect that was! SO please go check out Pea Pod. I can't wait to see what Heather can do for our birthday parties!

Lots Going on!

First and most important, my baby sister graduated from high school this weekend! I am SOOOOOO proud of her!
Second, school is out for summer! Both girls made honor roll! Kristen has held straight As for the last half of the year! She was devastated when her report card showed a 78 for her science grade. I called the school because I knew that wasn't right. They had put it in the system wrong. She had actually made a 98 in that class! They are mailing us a corrected copy of her report card.
Also, Hannah is leaving for camp a week from today. Kristen aged out and will go with the older kids in July.
Oh and last, the penny saga is over! We went in for a new xray and it was gone! Not sure how it slipped by but it did and its over now!

This Has Gone on Long Enough...

Yes I know I havent posted about the laundry room makeover yet! I promise its coming. This penny situation is STILL ongoing! Can you believe it? Of all the kids in the world who swallow change and mine is in the 1% who can't pass it! I have been looking through poop for over three weeks! Now I do have to add that that part hasn't been too bad because he has not had as much since this started. That is part of the problem. Today is our deadline. I am calling Dr. H this morning..unless by some miracle it came out in the night, and we will make a plan. The penny has to come out. Not sure if that will happen today or later this week, but it does have to happen. I don't know yet how they get it out and honestly Im not too thrilled to find out. I guess there is always the chance that it will be gone when they take the new x ray.....probably not though. So with all of that said please keep us in your prayers. This is the part that isnt funny. Well at least not right now....maybe it will be later. Follow my twitter for updates!
