We are most definitely in the midst of an ice storm!  It’s really quite pretty, and I can say that because we have power.  The minute my power goes off I am going to HATE that ice with a passion!  Luckily, we still have power and we’re safe and warm.  Since it is so cold [...]

What a special Thanksgiving this year with a little one at our table!  We began JM on sweet potatoes so that he could join in on our Thanksgiving feast.  He likes them pretty well, but he really likes the apricots that I made today!  I simply bought a bag of dried apricots and hydrated them [...]

This little baby drove us all the way back home!  He was ready to get back to Alabama to see all of his grandparents and uncles and aunts! Beep Beep! We just did some shopping today at the Boaz Outlets and generally hung out.  We were all in shock this morning when JM took a [...]

What a wonderful Sunday we have had!  We did John Michael’s baby dedication today at church and it was SO wonderful!  I was baptized at 12th Street Baptist Church, was born into this church, and Jordan and I were married there.  John Michael did wonderfully, he just looked out at the crowd and looked around and [...]

The past week or so has held a lot of “firsts” for John Michael!  He is growing so fast and I don’t want him to keep growing and getting older!  John Michael had his first “big boy” bath in our big bathtub.  He is sitting up so well and he has the best time splashing [...]

So, the other day I had a huge epiphany.  I had a huge moment of “oh my gosh…I get it!”  We are doing Beth Moore’s Loving WellBible Study at church on Tuesday mornings, and while I have missed a few weeks of it, I was able to make it this past Tuesday.  I really enojoyed [...]

Since Alabama is currently ranked #1, I thought that I would write a little about what my school means to me….sounds like a 4th grade homework assignment!  I got this list from an email, but I just loved it so much that I had to blog about it!  No doubt, my family’s blood runs crimson [...]

At church this morning we had Kelly’s baby shower for Baby Harper!  Everything looked just wonderful with accents of pink and brown.  I made spinach dip and put it inside of a hollowed-out purple cabbage.  I always love spinach dip with fritos.  It’s always so good and such a dependable treat to make and serve.  The [...]

So, last night was all about Jordan.  We joined him at the Home Office for his graduation from the Dale Carnegie class on leadership, public speaking, etc.  It was a 12 week class and it last from 5pm-10p, every Wednesday.  It’s quite a sacrifice from family time, not only for our family, but there were [...]

Let me begin by saying:  Happy Veterans Day!  Both of my grandfathers served and Jordan’s stepdad, Nat, served in the Air Force in Vietnam!  Papaw Farmer served in Korea and Papaw Maxwell served in the South Pacific. Thank you to all veterans for serving our country and keeping us all safe! I spoke too soon [...]
