I have been so blessed in my life, but here is where I share stories and pictures of my most precious blessings, that God has given me...MY FAMILY! So welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy reading about some of the happenings, as my husband and I try to raise a 6yr old daughter and a 2yr old son!
It kinda makes you wonder, what kind of restaurants her parents have been taking her too??
I know, you are probably looking at the above picture and saying to yourself...WOW, what a MESS! But it is actually a picture of Jolee's tea party, she hosted for her doggies, horses, and pig friends and me and Daddy last night. Every animal had its own plate and cup. What an imagination this girl has! I love being in the next room, listening to her talk to her animals, barbies, dolls, or seeing her playing dress up and about to head out to the castle for a party, (as she says). It is so precious, to me! And for a bonus, she cleaned it up by herself!! That made for the best tea party ever. She did actually ask her Daddy last night, if this was the best tea party he had ever been too?
This cute little girl that Silas is holding, is on her way with her Mommy and Daddy to our house for the week for their vacation. Jolee is so excited that Annaliese is coming to play! When we lived in Alabama, we 4 were close, so it will be interesting getting together after all these years and throwing 2 kids in the mix! 
36 years is a long time. That is how long my Dad or better known now as Pappy, has been working at the same job every day for 36 years. Until last week, when they came in and shut the store he has been going to day after day, year after year down. 
It's all he knows really, because he has been so faithful in doing this/his job all his life. So I'm asking that you keep my Dad and Mom in your prayers during this difficult time in their lives.
Dad, I love you! You have always been such a great, loving, caring, and wonderful Dad who has always provided for his family and took care of us. I'm very blessed to have you as, my Dad. I pray that God will guide you in your new career change, and be with you and Mom during this time and comfort you both and His will be done. 
So I've drug out this 3rd Birthday thing, is what you are thinking. This is the last post, because thankfully it was the last birthday event, and we are totally out of money now! We had a princess party in Alabama with all the family. Jolee turned 3 and cousin Audrey turned 4 so we had a combined party again this year for the two girls. It was so much fun and they loved it!
Let me be a little sentimental here, before I go on with the birthday fun! The castle in the above picture was painted by Audrey's mother (my aunt) for My 6th Birthday Party, how cool is that! So it's pretty old, but still looked great, it was cool that we got to use it for our daughters birthday party as well! (Thanks Michele)
We had an awesome "princess castle" bouncy house, that was so much fun for the kids and adults!
Granna and Pappy with the birthday girl!
MeMaw and PePaw with the birthday girl!
Jolee and Mommy jumping!
She was so funny, and so excited! She just kept saying over and over again...I can't believe this is my birthday party, I just can't believe it!
Weston is clearly still teething, but seems to be having fun while doing it!
Jolee with her cake. It was so cute and so good too! A lady that my Dad (Pappy) used to work with made it, she did a great job!
Opening up presents! 
The birthday girls, Audrey and Jolee in their "new" princess dresses!
Pinata time!
Little Man here, didn't stop the whole time. He played and played the entire time and loved it! Looks like he has seen someone talking while driving before, because he sure knows what to do!
Jolee trying out her new princess skates!
It was such a wonderful and fun day! This was one tired little 3 year old, who played till she couldn't play any more!
Aunt Pam, with cousins Lucy and Abbie. They had a blast, they let Aunt Pam pamper them at her spa and then in return they pampered Aunt Pam, oh she was looking good, I got pictures, don't worry!
Audrey and her Mom (my Aunt Michele)
Jolee and Audrey on the other hand, chose not to get pampered, they chose to do their makeup and paint their nails all by their self! Jolee got so into it, she loved it until Granna gave her a mirror and she saw herself, and then she was saying...take it off!
Audrey painting her own nails!
Audrey, all dolled up!
The Birthday girls at their spend the night party, all dressed up and ready to go! 
Lucy, all dolled up
It was her party, so I let her have her fun (doing her own makeup and nails). She loved it! I brought boas,wands, gowns, jewelry, etc, etc and they all went digging through the suitcase having a ball!
Abbie, all dolled up!
Lucy, Abbie, Audrey, and Jolee. They did a fashion show, and strutted it, they all thought they were SOMETHING!
And as promised...pictures of Aunt Pam after Abbie and Lucy got a hold of her. She was such a sport, and she was strutting it too during the fashion show!
Every princess has got to have a carriage, right?
Last weekend, we went to home to Alabama. And every time we go home we keep fitting more and more in while we are there. But I love it, I can rest later, right? All of the family was home, and it was great to see and visit with them all. 
This is Weston giving Jolee some loving and trying to sit in her lap! He has grown so much and is hilarious! Uncle JoJo, Aunt Pam, and Weston stayed at Granna and Pappy's house that weekend too, so we got to play and visit with them alot and loved it! 
Cousin Lucy and Silas during a knife presentation, Oh yea, we fit that in too. Another one of my cousins, was selling knifes and did a presentation for us, to earn money for scholarships. Even though, we as in (me and Silas) didn't buy any, because they where $$$$ she did a great job! She should earn a scholarship just getting through a presentation with Silas and Aunt Michele and all their jokes and questions!
Jolee holding Marianna! Jolee was in love with the twins. She held them, talked to them, played with them, kissed on them. It melted my heart. The girls where so cute, it was our first time to meet them, and I fell in love! My Aunt Michele and Uncle Brian are fostering them, so please keep them in your prayers!
Me and Angelica! They are precious!
