Thankful Tuesday

Today I am thankful for my husband who is so sweet to me.

I am thankful for my friends that worry about me....

I am thankful for my 4 year old who is finally understanding what will happen if she does not pick up her toys.

I am thankful for my9 year old daughter who gets in the car ready to do homework.

I am thankful to have money to buy food with.

I am thankful for tissue so noses can be blown.

I am thankful for the people that trust me and allow me to come into their house to work for them.

I am thankful for my computer and DSL so I can keep up with my friends... on a daily basis!

Now Bryce can call the Hogs in style!!!!

I made this set for Mrs. Pam's first grand baby, Bryce. It is a lab bib and a matching burp rag. He and his parents live in Fayetteville and they both graduated from the University! He is guaranteed to spit RED!

Bryce is so cute!!!! You should see the way her watches his mama when she is talking... He is a very happy baby and Leigh sure deserves it!

It's sometimes hard to go home.....

This was the love of my mamaw's life!! She loved flowers!!!! She also loved all of the friends that she made over the years that she had this nursery. My Aunt Priss and Uncle Mike are now running it... there are alot of the same customers that have always been there. I can remember while she was sick.. Mrs. Hensley brought her cut flowers out of her garden on a weekly basis.... all of her plants had been purchased from my grandmothers nursery.



Dalton loves this cat! Her name is Judy. She will carry her the entire time that we are there if she will let her. Just look at the smile on her face!

This is my Aunt Priss. She always took my mamaw to Greenville, MS to her treatments. She is so much like her that it is scary! She has always taken up so much time with me and Robert Louis (my brother) and now takes up the time with my kids.. who love her. That is Nick on her lap... my mamaw' dog that they gave her for Christmas a few years back.... He followed her every where and was there with her when she passed away.

This is a pet turtle that they keep in the back of the hot houses. They actually have 2 of them. It is so funny because when this turtle sees my Uncle Mike coming with a worm he gets all excited... and who says that turtles can move!?!?! You should just see one of them moving when the other one has a worm and the other one wants it! He can boogie!!!

The day that mamaw passed away Maury was at my house and she went with me to be with my family that night. I was so thankful for her offering to go with me.... Once again.. Thank you very much for being there for me! You are the BEST!

Why is it that icing tastes better when you lick it off of a candle?



This is Dalton's first best friend, Anna Claire. They go to WEE school togehter I love to hear Dalton talk about her... Her Nanaw told her at Sunday dinner that she saw Anna Claire at church that morning... Dalton smiled and asked what she was wearing!!!! Leave it to girlfriends to be concerned over each others wardrobes... even at 4 years old!!!

Dalton loves to play with these girls!!!! Ashleigh, Avery (her big sister) and Haleigh!

My little WILD WOMAN at the beach!

I tried to take pics another night too, but you can see by the little wild woman there on the dune what I was dealing with that night... Just look at her!!! Need I say more!?!?!??! I do like the other colors we used in the family pic.. I think it turned out cute if I do say so myself! Gotta do what cha gotta do WHEN MAURY WON'T COME BACK TO THE BEACH WITH YA! LOL

8 days were NOT too many days for vacation!!! Normally, we only brave the beach for about 5 days because Dalton is so small.. not this year!!! 8 days was actually PERFECT!!! Can't have a Orange Beach vacation without family pictures can you?????

I AM SO BEHIND!

After being encouraged to start a blog........ We go on vacation for 8 days!! So, hang on for the ride... mama has some serious blogging to do to catch up! (that is IF I can remember how to upload the picstures!!!)
