Mason is 12

How in the world did this happen! My little cute Mason is 12 years old? Serious. Oh my goodness.

I say this every year. "I can just remember.........." But.......I do. I remember so clearly, the anticipation of being a mother! ME! A mom. Responsible for another person? I remember seeing Mason for the first time, and how the tears came to my eyes, and I did not know exactly why I was crying or why I had so much emotion come over me, but I knew that instant that I loved him so much, and that I would work so hard to take care of him, and love him!

What a sweet guy. What a cute look this is. He's so serious. Always, soaking it in.

Love that 12 year old!!!

Fun Day Ahead!

We have a fun day ahead! Church this morning, then we will head to "hot"lanta to see Todd play the Braves! We have never seen him play and we are excited. There are 5 couples going. Can you believe it, and adult event, no kids, just fun times!

Pics to come later, for sure!!!

Off to church!

Lovin' these colors

This studio is gonna rock! Serious!

I can hardly paint fast enough!!!!!! It's such a cutie pie place to hang out, and I can't wait to spend lots of hours...........and creative moments in there!!!

Tired Mommy

Ok, it's a tired day/night for me.

Working too much, not sleeping enough, and not getting much done in between.

Right now, it's almost 11pm, both boys are engrossed in yet another episode of Hannah Montana, Scott is asleep, and I can't get enough of Little Big Town while I am piddling on this crazy laptop.

Needin' some sleep bad, but too stressed to unwind and actually go there!

Happy Father's Day!!!!!

Happy Father's Day

Isn't it fitting that Scott would sing this song on the Father's Day.

He began writing this song a while back, and after he and Hap got together on it, and Hap put this to music, they "tweaked" the words just a bit, and wow! What results.

The boys sat up there with them while they sang. What a wonderful beginning to our day.

Happy Father's Day!

Milestones

So, 10 years ago, on the night before Father's Day, Scott asked me to be his bride.

Is that the best thing ever??????????? Yes!!! I can remember just how thrilled I was, and so proud to put that ring on my finger, and even think about being his wife! WIFE! I was going to be a WIFE soon. I've always wanted to be a wife, and to be in love.............and wow, I was so in love that night. I still am!

We drove straight to Kendall's house, and told her about it. I can still remember it like yesterday, her with those WAY TOO THICK glasses on , shh'shing me the whole time because Logan was asleep, and I was so excited! Just so happy, I could hardly stand it. She was so happy for us. And, kept saying "brother, I am so proud of you!". What a night!!

Then, the next morning, Brother Jacky announced our engagement to the entire church! What a great day! Father's Day, 1997. Wow, what a set of 10 years we have had! I love that Scott! I just love thinking about it, and how I just could not believe that he loved me. Serious.

Kristin said "what! you can't marry him, he wears cowboy boots!" I thought to myself, "and wow, does he look good in them!"

So, anyways, happy engagement anniversary day to us!

Oh, yeah, and Happy Father's Day..........tomorrow!

Loving these pics

Loving all of these beach pictures! Fun times with my sister and all of the kids.

So, maybe this needs to be a new tradition! We take the kids to the beach, just having a ball, and lots of French Toast and Kool-Aid!

Fun stuff!!!

Let the fun begin

So, it's hard to even tell what this picture it. But, yes, it is the beginnings of my craft studio. Yes, that's correct. All the junk piled in there, some shelves down, some up, harsh white walls and more!!

So, Scott and the boys granted my wish.........and for Mother's Day have agreed to help me paint my studio. Chocolate Coco..........and Pink Punch! Doesn't that sound delish!!

Well, let the fun begin. Off to putty the walls.
