Happy Birthday Mom!!!

If I could give you diamonds for each tear you cried for me.

If I could give you sapphires for each truth you’ve helped me see.

If I could give you rubies for the heartache that you’ve known

If I could give you pearls for the wisdom that you’ve shown.

Then you’ll have a treasure, mother, that would mount up to the skies

That would almost match the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.

But I have no pearls, no diamonds, As I’m sure you’re well aware

So I’ll give you gifts more precious My devotion, love and care.
With all my love on your birthday

Fun Run!

Dibrell School Fundraiser

My Dad signed us up for the 5th Annual Wildcat 5k and 1mile fun run. We were all excited about it at first until the day grew closer then we all three became worried about it, wondering if we could make it to the finish line. Then that morning it was raining and pouring, we still went and the rain let up a little right before we started running. My Grandma, Aunt Judy, Gidget, Megan and Josh also were there and why I didn't get a picture of them is beyond me (I'm usually camera crazy) But I am proud of us all!

My soooooo.. cool Brother putting on his #......Before We Were Breathless.......

Yay! We Did It !!!

3.1 Miles

Michael's time 28.17, Daddy and I made it in 30.10
The rain messed our numbers up but kept us cool, couldn't imagine doing it in the blazing sun:)

We really had a good time. It was very satisfying when we got done, I was very proud of my Dad there is not to many his age that could run 3 miles! We can't wait for another one.

Our Deepest Need

I would like to have been there to see our national leaders faces. I'm glad someone with boldness for God had the opportunity to speak out.

My Wonderful Husband

2009-04-27T19:08:00.000-07:00

I have to take a minute and brag on my wonderful husband. A week ago Friday, before I left for work Josh told me that he would like for us to go on a date that night. Like always I thought that would be nice:) I really didn't get off until 6:00, so that morning I took nice cloths to the gym so I could get ready there for all day. So throughout the day I had tried to call him at the cabinet shop and his dad said that he wasn't there and then his dad said something about my dad calling and that's not a normal thing but I just thought that I miss understood him somehow, anyway I couldn't get a hold of him. My Dad had left to go pick a car up in Cookville and then had called and said he was going to stop by his house before coming back to work. (by the way I help my Dad and Brother on Thurs. and Fri.'s at The Truck Lot) Later that day Dad had come back to work and I noticed grass on his back, I thought he had just done some weed eating. Anyway, to make a long story longer, about 5:00 Dad told me to go ahead and take off work. I got home and Josh was all dressed up and told me get dressed up also (although I had already dressed up for the evening that morning) but he told me to wear a dress. As I got ready I could hear him taking something outside. We got in the truck and he made me wear a blind fold (he did the same thing when he asked me to marry him except I could tell where we were driving too, well that is another story) this time we were driving for quiet a while and I had no clue where we were going then it started to feel like we were going 4-wheeling the truck was bouncing up and down and I could do nothing but laugh. We came to a stop and he said to wait here and made me promise not to peak and I didn't. I waited for awhile, he came and got me out of the truck. I noticed the ground was really soft because my heals were sinking in the ground. We walked a little way and then he said I could look I then realized we were down on the river were my Dad has a large private family campsite. Josh had built a fire, had a blanket down, had our wedding flutes and plates set, candles and tikki torches all around. The river was up and it was a perfect setting. With grapes, cheese and crackers laid out he laughed and said we only have hot dogs and chips to eat and then poured Dr. Thunder in the flutes. After we roasted our hot dogs we had my favorite....smores.... they were sooo good. All in all Josh really surprised me and we really enjoyed it, we laughed and cut up all night. Our dates usually consist of going out to eat and maybe shopping around and then going home and occasionally renting a movie. This was something totally different and Josh did put a lot of work into it. Earlier in my long story Josh had called my dad to see if it was dry enough down at the river and then my dad had tried to call him at the shop which was what my Father-in-law was talking about. My Dad had met Josh on the river to help him clear off and clean up the site a little. That's why my Dad had grass all over him. Looking back I see all the clues but had no idea what was going on. This whole date might not sound like much but it did mean a lot to me and I truly enjoyed it. Its good to know that we can have so much fun doing the simple things.

just a couple of pics.

Over The Weekend!

2009-04-14T20:54:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm going to start with Thursday. Lydia and I went to the Library (by the way if you and your child are available on Thursday mornings at 10:30am you should come to story time, Lydia loves it) they read a book that was similar to Peter Cotton Tail and then they painted a wooden egg that looked real after it was painted. Lydia really enjoyed herself. Then we were off to Taiah's Easter Party at school, of course all the kids had a blast. Although with the fun filled day that we had celebrating Easter not once did I hear anything about our Risen Lord Jesus Christ. Is he not the reason for the season! Ya know I bet I would be floored by the number of kids (and adults) that don't truly understand what Easter is all about. You better believe my kids know exactly what Easter is.

Thank God, Jesus came to live a perfect life and then take all of our punishment, all of our sorrows on himself. Thank God he died on the cross in my place and Praise God, he didn't stay in the tomb, For He Is Alive!

I think Lydia was on a sugar rush all day Thursday. Here she is enjoying some of the goodies she got from Taiah school party.

Also over the weekend

O-Kay I'm the worlds worst when it comes to remembering Birthday's, so I started programing all the ones I could remember in my phone. Well I don't know what happened but it didn't work and I let yet another birthday slip by my memory this past Saturday.

So here is to my wonderful Sister-In-Law Candice.

Happy Belated Birthday !!!

From birth to age eighteen, a girl needs good parents. From eighteen to thirty-five, she needs good looks. From thirty-five to fifty-five, she needs a good personality. From fifty-five on, she needs good cash. - Sophie Tucker

Easter Morning!!

Well we didn't get to go to the Sunrise service at Church, I really wanted to but I thought that 34degrees was to cold to sit outside with my girls. But the regular service was wonderful. After church we went out to my Aunts house and had dinner and a big egg hunt for the kids.

Lydia caught a butterfly :)

All dressed up!

Me-Maw and Grand kids

Baby Matthew's first egg hunt!

Taiah got Most Eggs!
Katie found the gold egg $$
Taiah's Egg Art!
Lydia's Egg Art!

All in all we had a wonderful, wonderful Easter!

My Taiah Is 7yrs Old!!!

2009-03-22T19:26:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday To My Taiah!

Taiah wanted a slumber party last year for her birthday and things didn't go as planned and she was very disappointed. So when she mentioned she would like to try to have a slumber party this year, I made sure that it was going to happen. I think she and all the girls had a blast. Taiah never asks for a whole lot she is not hard to please and is very laid back. I love my Taiah so much and can't believe that it has been 7yrs since she first came into my life and change me forever! She is Truly A Blessing From God.

All her friends: Megan, Ashley, Lydia :), Bailey, Gabby, and MayleeOh, she also wanted a tie-dye party, so that cake is supposed to be tie-dyed:)

Ready to eat cake and ice cream!!The inside of her tie-dyed cake. I was surprised on how this cake turned out. I had seen cupcakes done like this on-line, so didn't know exactly how it would turn out. I thought it looked pretty neat.The shirts all wrapped up for the whole night. ( That was a long time to wait for the girls to see how their shirts looked)

We danced and talked all night. We also played many games, including balloon pop charades/trivia, pillow pass, freeze dance, blind folded animal find, ring-a-round the roses once for Lydia because she was going to have a cow if we didn't:) oh last but not least the dreaming game. I think I enjoyed myself just as much as the girls did. Those girls were so wound up I didn't think they were ever going to go to sleep. Taiah also lost a tooth that night when she was eating her pizza. so the tooth fairy had to search through all those pillow to find that tooth without any of those girls waking up:) fun, fun.

The next morning they got to unwrap their shirts.

A Happy Birthday!

2009-03-11T22:39:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to the most important man in my life. One of the best blessing of my life. I love you so much, you are my world. Thanks for being such a wonderful Husband and Father.

I meant to post this yesterday but I was so busy from the time I woke up to the time I laid down so I'm posting it tonight. Witch we didn't get to finish celebrating until tonight so I guess it doesn't matter. Oh, you might want to check out my sister-in-laws blog http://avapix.blogspot.com/ just to see how cool my man really is. lol! :)

Hot Fudge Sundae Ice-Cream Cake!!! This cake was soooo good! Althoug I forgott to buy the cherries for on top. I saw this in one of my recipe books and had to try it for this special occasion. Taiah and Lydia helped with every step ( they always love helping me cook especially if it baking a cake). Josh loved it and I would love to say I didn't eat any but I did and enjoyed every bite. Of course we had to undress Lydia to eat this( Josh is the one that cut her that big of a piece, and no I didn't let her eat all of it but she got close).

Pictures From Snow Days!

2009-03-11T22:02:00.000-07:00

Sunday, when the snow was so pretty we were at Josh's Mom and Dads ( If your ever looking for us on a Sunday afternoon you can usually find us there, Teresa is always feeding us after church, she is such a good cook, I always eat way to much at her house.)anyway the girls could not wait to get out there in the snow, we couldn't round up clothes fast enough for them to go play. That snow was probably the first good snow Lydia has ever seen. Its been such a long time since a good snow has come along. We really didn't get to enjoy it enough.

Lydia could not stop eating the snow (she must have thought it was some sort of candy:)Mr. Happy
You can't see it from this picture but that snow man was leaning so bad I don't know how it was staying up.
The snow ball fight seemed to follow us in the house.

!!! Fashion Shows !!!

2009-02-24T11:02:00.000-08:00

My sisters shop Mommy & Me shined through another fashion show at the Women's Show in the Three Star Mall. The girls have so much fun getting dressed up. Although for Meleah and all the moms that help, its pretty tiresome. I do like doing the fashion shows with my girls they love it and its a way that they can get all dressed up and get used to being around crowds without being judged. Here are a few pictures I got, I didn't want to post some of the other kids without parents consent.

My Beautiful Princess Taiah! Little miss Claira ready to strut her stuff!Bridal Wear
This dress looked so cute on Lydia it just might have to be her Easter dress!
My nephew Matthew! (he might as well get use to being in fashion shows)
I thought Maylee looked so elegant in this dress, I just love it!

Of course my girls modeling some cute sister outfits:) I have always loved putting my girls in sister outfits but they are getting so big I won't be able to do it to much longer. I guess I'll have to settle with just matching them.

The only thing we didn't get to show was our maternity wear. Mommy & Me has some really cute outfits for pregnant women. Meleah is in the process of getting her spring and summer wear out. She will be having some good sales going on.

If you are interested in your child being in fashion shows please let me or Meleah know and we'll contact you for the next one. We need boys, girls and pregnant ladies!

Almost 7yrs Of Being A Horse!!!

2009-02-10T20:38:00.000-08:00

Tonight the girls and I played horse, while my wonderful husband cleaned up the kitchen from dinner:) (afterward joining in the fun). The kids have always loved to pretend that I'm their horse. Although a few Aches & Pains (knees, back and mostly wrist) even the girls have survived a few tumbles off of the horses back when we've gotten a little to carried away:) the fun we've had has always been worth it.

This is My Taiah at age 1 riding her horse.

Many, many, many rodeo's later my girls riding their horse.

The weather lately has been therapeutic and we can't wait for spring.

Yesterday, the girls couldn't wait to get out their little pool so I decided to let them. Not quiet what they wanted but they still had fun!!

The Jaco's!

2009-02-06T20:47:00.000-08:00

I took some pictures of my sweet family a while back. Meleah said it had been so long since they had a family picture. I just loved this one and thought I would share this picture of her beautiful family!!

2009-01-21T21:27:00.000-08:00

I'm so proud of my Taiah! She has recently got Clubber Of The Month at Master Club. This year I've been privileged to have her in my class "The Lookouts"(1st graders). She has impressed me with her scripture memory and her eagerness to earn badges. I thank God for her and all the children at church I hope and pray that they all grow closer to our Heavenly Father through the efforts of this program.

She is holding her certificate and five master bucks.

Baby Ava at the hospital, one year ago.

Way Behind!

2009-01-14T11:09:00.001-08:00

I have fallen way behind because Josh and I decided since he had some time off of work we would remodel our bathroom that has needed a little attention for a long time. Anyway that's why I've not been posting but I'm going to try to catch up in the next couple of days. I can't wait to post about my new bathroom because that will mean we are finally finished with it.

I know Christmas was a long time ago but I had to post some of this wonderful holiday!

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Every Christmas morning before anything else we sit down and read the Christmas story.
Then sing praise and worship.
Present Time!

Sisterly Love!Now who gets to clean up that mess?

Christmas Pictures

2008-12-22T19:34:00.000-08:00

My poor girls, oh how I torcher them with my camera. Its Christmas time and I always try to get pictures of them this time of year. Lydia is always the hardest to get a picture off and Taiah was sick and running a temp(yet she still was so beautiful) I'm happy with the way some of them turned out. Merry Christmas!!

Thank You Aunt Candice!

2008-12-22T19:00:00.000-08:00

Thank you Candice the girls love their shirts you made for them. They have had many compliments on them.

SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PARTY!

Taiah with a few friends and her homeroom teacher Mrs. Marcum

Taiah's whole home room class. (some 2nd graders and some 1st graders)

Taiah and her friend Lluvia.

Lydia getting to enjoy some of the fun:)

Christmas Parade!!

2008-12-16T19:45:00.000-08:00

My two little reindeer. They were so cute when we went to see the parade I had to post these pictures. I enjoyed taking my girls to the Christmas Parade there were lots of interesting floats. It was very, very cold!!!

White Squirrel???

2008-12-09T18:09:00.000-08:00

Have you ever seen a white squirrel?? A few years ago we had a white squirrel that lived in our back yard along with lots of other squirrels, it seems like 50 of them. Which I'm not complaining I love my big yard and watching all the animals (we use to have a bunch of wild rabbits that lived in our yard but they all disappeared after some neighbors moved in with 2 big dogs). Anyway, that squirrel got ran over :( but just recently Lydia spotted another white squirrel and we've seen him several times around the house sometimes it will let us get pretty close:) he or she is beautiful. I don't know if white squirrels are common but I thought that this was really neat.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A CARDBOARD BOX!!!

Josh and his Dad got this box at work and thought of our girls (they love playing in big boxes) but with a little imagination this castle the girls help us mak is the 2nd big cardboard clubhouse we've had on our back porch. This particular one is not finished yet we still have more to do to it! I'll post more picture's when we finish it (its been way to cold). I don't know why we ever spend so much money on so many toys when our kids have such fun with the simple things. The girls were so cute that day playing in that thing!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

2008-11-27T19:05:00.001-08:00

My life is so full of blessings and I am so Thankful for every one.
This was written in my church bulletin and I just loved it and thought I would share on this special day.

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank you Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud thank you, Lord, for my Family. There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.
Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest, thank you, Lord, for life.

A Good Day

2008-11-27T16:50:00.000-08:00

Making the most of Thanksgiving break. The day started out lounging around the house (which is considered a good day anytime:) Lydia is not much for lounging but playing with her toys in my kitchen cabinet while I mas making lunch.Wanting to enjoy the beautiful weather we took the girls to feed the ducks (well this time it was geese) at River Front Park.

Taiah and Lydia couldn't help but to go play on the playground for a while.
After that we was wondering what else we could do fun with the girls (McMinnville REALLY needs something here for family fun.) They kept asking to go to Chuck E Cheeses and we enjoy Chuck E Cheeses just as much as them but didn't feel like driving to Murfressboro. So we mentioned going bowling and Taiah was so excited. The girls had so much fun and have been asking to go back ever since.

To finish their night off we took the girls to McDonald's where they always have fun.

Taiah rewarded!!!

2008-11-23T21:55:00.000-08:00

At West Elementary they have assembly every Thursday. Due to the field trip it got pushed to Friday. Taiahs class had the program for it and all the parents in her class were invited. Her class did a very good job with their number puzzles (it was her math class). Anyway every assembly they give out different awards and my Taiah with several other kids got the "Caught Being Good Award". I'm glad that I happened to be there and got to see her get that. I am so PROUD of my Taiah!!! She is a very good kid. God truly blessed me with her. Here is a few pics.

Field Trips!!!

2008-11-23T21:18:00.000-08:00

Taiah has been so exited and counting down the days. On Thursday Taiah had a field trip to the Art Center in Woodbury. Needless to say I jumped at the opportunity to go with her (I remember my Mom always going on my field trips, no wonder because they are so fun). Taiah's class went to see "The Emperors New Clothes". Taiah loved the play. The actors did a wonderful job, to bad I didn't get to take any pictures of them. Afterwards we all went and ate our sacked lunches that seemed to be a little chaotic (it was a small room and a lot of kids)

This is Taiah on the bus with her friend Lluvia, one picture of them being serious for a slight

second and one picture of them being totally themselves.

We had so much fun. Can't wait for another field trip!

Taiahs School Thanksgiving

2008-11-23T20:49:00.000-08:00

I usually try to eat lunch with Taiah at least once a week. We both enjoy it! It is such an experience to eat with so many kids and to sit at those tiny luch tables. Lisening to the kids cut up and play around is so funny. This past Wednesday for thanksgiving Taiah had her lunch in her classroom. After everyone ate Mrs. Dyer had the kids make Thanksgiving turkeys (very cute).^Her Daddy helping to make the turkey!
^Her finished work-of-art!
^And of course Lydia helping to eat the turkey!

Tag Your It!!!

2008-11-15T21:08:00.000-08:00

So Candice decided to tag me about a week ago so I guess I'll try to post 7 weird things about myself. This will be kinda hard considering I'm not weird at all :) Maybe special.

I have a really bad nervous habit (not a normal bad habit like biting my nails or twirling my hair), I peel pieces of skin off of my lips. I know this sounds gross but I have had a problem with this as long as I can remember. I go for a long period of time without doing it, then all of a sudden I'll notice my lips are so sore and a lot of the times bleeding then I won't quit for weeks until I really concentrate on quiting. I think it could be inherited because one of my Aunts and my nephew has the same problem. One thing I've noticed though, if I leave them alone they heal up pretty fast. (Now #1 I know is weird)
The toilet paper roll drives me CRAZY if it is falling from the bottom. It has to be flowing from the top of the roll like it is suppose to be :)
I can not sleep unless my covers are straight, nice and neat on the bed. Josh on the other hand doesn't care if their twisted up, on the floor, all on him or even off the mattress. When Josh does work 3rd shift and I sleep by myself the bed still looks made up by morning with very few adjustments.
I am a multi-dipper. Example: If I eat chicken strips I need several different types of dipping sauce with each bite Ranch, BBQ, Honey-Mustard, ketchup, mustard, anything that's available at the time. I do the same for french fries. I've also been known to dip my pizza in Ranch or Thousand Island (I get that from my Sister) and from time to time I'll dip my lasagna in Ranch. I could go on but I think you get the point.
I love love love my hair played with. I try to get my girls to play with my hair all the time but they won't because they can't stay in one place to long :( Josh will every now and then :)
O-Kay this would have been a little easier if it was only 5 weird things!!!...........Oh (almost 10 min's. later) My right ear sits a little higher than my left. Added, my left ear is lobed and my right is attached. ( I hope that make sense to everyone)
O-Kay this time I'm desperate. My eyebrows---Most people, if they can at all, can only raise one of their eyebrows. I can control both of mine at different times. :) :) :)

Well that was pretty tough! I don't think I could come up with anything else. I'm suppose to tag someone else but I don't know to many people that hasn't been tagged. So if your reading this and haven't been tagged yet guess what? Your It!

Happy Birthday Lydia!!!

2008-11-11T22:19:00.000-08:00

My littlest girl is getting so big. Lydia turned 3 (already) this past Saturday and had so much fun at her Under The Sea Party. I decided that we would try having her party at my humble little house hoping that it would be a pretty, semi-warm day. Unfortunately it was a little too cool to use my screened in back porch. I had been worried about the comfort of everyone but things seemed to go well, although we packed in like sardines. I do appreciate everyone for coming and if your child didn't get a treasure chest please let me know. The Girls and I also had fun decorating and getting ready for the party. Except after the party Mommy got in trouble by Daddy because the ceiling got messed up from all the tape I used (we all can learn lessons even Mommies). You know, throwing birthday parties for your kids is a lot of work and stressful (if you let it be). I think its because you want their b-day to be as special as they are but I don't think any thing would ever match up to that. At the beginning of planning her party Lydia requested a mermaid cake and sense I always make my girls b-day cakes as a kinda tradition, I get that from my Mom and Sister, I wondered and wondered how I would do it. I stayed up very late Saturday night working on her cake. Sunday morning she ran in and seen her cake and kept saying 'My cake is so beautiful, I love it Thank you mom' She sat there at least 10 minutes just staring at it. She just couldn't wait to eat it, she is one big sweet tooth never can get enough. We barley could get her to leave and go to church.

Before we took the streamers down and.....

what it did all over my ceiling:(

My Cheerleader.

2008-11-11T21:52:00.000-08:00

Taiah had her first game on Saturday. She did so good. Watching her cheer brings back so many fun memories from when I was little. Taiah and Maylee are growing up so fast, I am glad they can enjoy these times together.

Very Disappointed

2008-11-05T05:55:00.000-08:00

I'm very discouraged in the direction that America has chosen. Race has nothing to do with it, its more about his moral stance and his policies that literally make me sick to my stomach. I feel most of the people that supported him didn't look into the facts. His CHANGE that he consistently talked about is not going to be the change that America needs. Although I am very uncomfortable with the outcome of the election I know that God is sovereign and in control. He is able to make all situations glorify him.

Main Reason I Chose Not To Vote For Obama:

1. I am completely pro-life!

*Obama supports abortion as a form of birth control (90% of all abortions are use for birth control)

*He also supports infanticide which is the murder of babies born alive after a botched abortion. Either they finish the baby off by suffocation or its laid aside for hours with no medical attention.

*Obama even supports partial birth abortion. What is Partial-Birth Abortion? Partial-Birth Abortion is a procedure in which the abortionist pulls a living baby feet-first out of the womb and into the birth canal (vagina), except for the head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the cervix (the opening to the womb). The abortionist punctures the base of the baby’s skull with a surgical instrument, such as a long surgical scissors or a pointed hollow metal tube called a trochar. He then inserts a catheter (tube) into the wound, and removes the baby's brain with a powerful suction machine. This causes the skull to collapse, after which the abortionist completes the delivery of the now-dead baby. -------I wonder why they pull the feet out first, is it just so they won't see the baby's face when they do this horrible procedure......sick

2. He supports gay marriage which God clearly reveals is an abomination.

*Where does it stop? What if someone says they were attracted to little kids or animals?

What about polygamy? Should they have the same rights? After all they might say they were born that way too. Should these people who chose that lifestyle get government benefits?

3. He actually had the nerve to mock the Bible. Taking verses completely out of context.

4. Taxes! Obama wants to penalize the hard workers by raising their taxes and redistribute it to those that don't work or pay taxes.----Socialism---I guess we should not strive to do better?

5. Health care will be a mess if Obama has his way.

*Who do you think will pay for this so called free health care?

*Its track record in other countries proves it won't work.

*Get ready to make your appointments months in advance. Hope its not an emergency?

6. I Question his patriotism, and the people he is associated with.

I don't know about you but when I put the pieces of the puzzle together it scares me.

Maybe President Barack Hussein Obama (just doesn't sound right to me) will be the best president ever. But at the time of this election this blog expresses my convictions.

Every Thursday at the Library they have story time for kids and then they usually do a craft. Lydia loves going and being around the other kids. This past Thursday they had a Halloween party, Lydia had so much fun. She went as a little ballerina, she loves to dance around. Maybe she gets it from her sister.

Pumpkin Carving Time! Always a fun time, although the girls don't like cleaning the gook out.

Baby Matthew (my nephew) came to my house to Babysit me He-He! Then I got to feed him his very first veggie

GREEN BEANS. It was o-kay the first few bites then he thought that was enough of me poking that nasty stuff in his mouth. We got through it though. He is such a good baby, wish my girls was like that when they were little. Matthew loves my girls! My girls love him!

These kids were wild by the time we left, I'm glad they had a good time.

Vacation

2008-10-24T21:52:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun!!! We went to Orange Beach in Alabama. About 4yrs ago we went to Orange Beach with Taiah (2yrs old). It was so much fun to watch her then and even more fun now. Seeing Lydia run and play on the beach reminded me so much of Taiah when she was little except in a whole different personality (maybe it was just the looks). Anyway it was good to get away and just relax. The weather was gorgeous, a little cool at night and in the mornings. You had to wait until about 11am before you could go swimming. It was not at all crowded, Although it seemed everyone we talked to was from good ole TENNESSEE. There were quiet a few families there with kids on fall break.
I think Lydia's favorite thing was between the water fountains in the pool, to finding different things on the beach (shells, crabs, jellyfish), to playing in the sand. Taiah's favorite thing was, well anything to do with water and swimming. Josh enjoyed playing with the girls. He doesn't get to spent a whole lot of time with them because he works so much, so I think his favorite thing was just spending 6 days with all his girls. My favorite thing was the sound, the smell and the breezes of the gulf. I also think we all had fun playing put-put golf and of course the arcade. All and all I thank God for this beautiful world we live in and the wonderful trip we were blessed with.
Love this pic...........Wish my feet were in the sand right now!!!

Our Sandcastle??? Maybe we can call it that. It took us a while and was still there a couple of days after we made it.
