Calling Out My Lovely Husband....

Soooo pretty much on a daily basis my hubby tells me I am not blog worthy. That if I am gonna have a blog I need to update it a whole lot more than I currently do. I think he is so addicted to reading blogs that he might as well do his own. So here's a friendly little challenge to my lovely husband.



"If my blogging is not satisfactory to you then lets just see how well you can do it. I have set up a blog for you and now it's your time to begin the challenge, so without further ado here it is http://www.jimthebrickman.blogspot.com get goin' on it!" Love you and can't wait to read your first blog!

Now everyone please go to his site and make sure he is blogging sufficiently! And if he is not meeting the blogger requirements let him know!

My Weekend Project....

This weekend I got a wild hair to re-do the bathroom floors. Don't ask me where I come up with these crazy ideas. I was so tired of looking at all the scratches, dents, skuffs on the floors that were given to us when we bought this house. So after living here 3 years I finally decided to give the bathrooms a small face life, and boy did it make a different. Now of course they are not perfect, seeing that I have never done anything like this before. But I think I did a pretty darn good job! Take a look for yourself!


Notice the spots on the floor. I spilled hair color. Shhhhh don't tell anyone I actually color my hair.

I did'nt get a picture of the boy's bathroom before I started, but here it is finished!

Proudest Moment As A Parent....

A few weeks ago our church hosted VBS. Thanks to Flo our boys were able to make it everyday. This VBS was a life changing experience for PayBo. On the fourth day of VBS he came home and was telling me he had talked to Mrs. Kathy about being saved and being baptised. He said they talked for awhile and decided he was not quite ready. After asking me and his dad tons of questions on Thursday night he said I know I'm ready now mom. He said I am going to talk to Mrs. Kathy again tomorrow and get saved and so he did. Two Sundays later PayBo went to the front of the church to talk to Bro. Nathan and told him he knew Jesus and wanted to be bapt-t-tized (that's how he says it). The following Sunday he was baptized!

How amazing!

This will be a time he will never forget!

This will be a time Jim and I will never forget!

A Baby Shower....

We put on a small baby shower for a co-workers daughter. At the last minute my friend Rhonda and I were asked to help decorate and help serve so of course it's hard for me to say no to something like that since I love decorating things. Here is just a few pictures from that event.

I threw this little arangement together at the last minute for a centerpiece

Teresa (Her Mom), Ashley (Mommy-To-Be) & her mother-in-law

Cake from Cherry Laurel

Musical Chairs...it was to funny

Like Sons, Like Father....

I know I have the saying a little backwards, but you'll understand when you are finished reading this blog.

Monday nigth I was asked ever so nicely to cut my kiddos hair. There is just something about cutting little boys hair. It seems to fly every where and before I know it I'm covered in hair. But since I am certified (not prefessional though so don't get any ideas) I guess it's easier and cheaper to just do it myself.

So I started off with Colby and he got up on the stool and said "Bushhog me momma" so at his request I did so. But first he wanted to look like his grandaddy so we did. Take a look


After I was finishewd with Colby it was PayBo's turn to get in the hot seat. So I asked him what do you want, he replied "short on the sides and a little on top. Then his daddy had to make a remark, "come on PayBo you get a bur and so will I". PayBo thought about it, and said to his daddy no he didn't want to. Well I started cutting PayBo's hair and talking to him saying come on PayBo don't you wanna see your daddy with no hair. So he gave in and said ok you can bushhog me to. So I guess you know where I am going with this.

YES JIM GOT A BUR TO...CHECK IT OUT

Aren't they to cute! Now Jim and Colby really look alike don't they?
