Am I the only one??

So call me crazy...but am I the only one that is sanitizing her house like a mad woman and keeping my kids home from school for the next few days. All because of this Swine Flu????

I am already crazy about cleaning and germs but I am sanitizing from ceiling to floor, I may even move to the outside of my house. Haha! Not really. Just curious to see if there are others out there taking precautions like me...OR have I truly lost it???

Power of Prayer

I know its been a while since I updated and I will update our blog soon. I wanted to ask you all to pray for this little baby and her family. You can visit her blog and read more about their story. I could not imagine being in their position. And when praying today, add her to your list. Take the time to get to them...it is very touching.

This is how I roll!

Here is Miss Emma Claire having a blast riding on a tricycle for the first time and then enjoying a ride from her big sister Hannah on the power wheel at Justin's aunts house. Now she has her own tricycle here at the house and wants to ride it everyday! Fun times!

Easter '09

This post is overdue...just trying to get back in the swing of things after being out of town. This Easter we traveled to Lufkin to visit family and run around like chickens with our heads cut off, as we always do when we try to fit all of our family visiting into just a few days. But it is always so nice to see everyone. I was a horrible photographer this weekend and did not get any pics of the girls in their Easter attire, but stay tuned bc it is bluebonnet time and they will make PERFECT bluebonnet outfits :) I did, however, pull out the camera at our little get together with Justin's family. All of the grandkids have nothing but girls!! Between 3 grandchildren their are 7 girls...oh my! We have our Hannah, Hadlee and Emma Claire....Jenny and Brent have Gracie, Hannah and Hallie (sp) and Shawn and his wife have Kaitlyn (sp). It was so nice to have everyone togther and I only wish I had gotten a picture of Granny and Pappy with their 7 great-grand daughters!! Wow.

We also had the Blair Family Easter at my mother-n-law's house on Saturday. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures. We had a good time with the family, ate a delicious lunch and had an easter egg hunt with all of the kiddos. I do believe I counted 30 people total!

On Sunday we went to church with my family and then had lunch with Aunt Theresa and Uncle Taylor, Leigh Ann and April, Taylor's mom Laurette and Mary. Thank you to my aunt for letting us stay with you guys over the holiday. We really enjoyed our visit, as always, and can't wait to come back. We hope everyone had a very blessed Easter....this is one of my most favorite holidays to celebrate....the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour!!

10 years ago today....

I was marrying my wonderful husband!

Technically it will be 10 years at 2:30 p.m. I remember the day like it was yesterday! It was a rainy day, outdoor wedding, and my uncles had to hold up the arch-way because the gusts of wind kept blowing it over. Ha! I remember the preacher came and asked me if it started raining did I want him to stop and us go inside to finish. At this point, I just said nope...finish in the rain! I believe there is an "old wives tale" that when it rains on your wedding day, its good luck. Maybe that holds some truth bc look at us 10 years later :)

It was a small wedding at my aunt's house with only close friends and relatives. I recall how wonderful my aunts did at planning it all so that my day would be perfect. My Aunt Theresa in particular did great at planning it ALL. Held everything together and then right as I was about to walk down the aisle she burst into tears bc it had just hit her that I was getting married! I remember the songs that were played at our wedding....Terri Clark, Now That I Found You, my cousin Leigh Ann actually sang this song and it was beautiful and Michael Peterson, From Here to Eternity. It was a wonderful, memorable day that I will always remember and only wish there would have been digital cameras so we could take a walk down memory lane on here. Guess I need to get myself a scanner...

Its been a wonderful 10 years and I can't wait to see what the next 10 hold for us. We have been blessed! I couldn't ask for a better partner in life. Justin is the best father and husband and I am so proud to call him my husband.
