{Sunday Morning Challenge}

Sometimes our Sunday Mornings can be awkward. . . like these photos.
"Do you have your Bible?"
Ironing clothes.

Breakfast? Maybe.

"Oh dear, we need some dress shoes."

"Mom, I don't like sticky stuff in my hair."

Okay. . . lets go!

We are ready!

{Delight}

These yummy chocolate balls are a delight, and I do believe

what makes them even better is that my children don't

like them, so I don't have to

hide them.

{I'm stumped}

This morning, as I was trying to "post" is says my Picasa web album is full . . .

Mmmmm?

Now what to do?

{1:10 AM}

I am wide awake.
Can't sleep.
Church tommorrow.
Good Grief, Satan.
Can't you just lay-off for one day?

{August means. . .}

this boy will turn 5.

this boy will turn 10.

this mom is not sure where time is going?

{No Smile ~Crazy Boy}

See that purposeful "no smile" on my sons face.
Proof that he really knows how to push my buttons!

Smile Clayton!

Crazy Boy!

(Yes, that is a firecracker burn on his face. Very Frightening.)

{Cooking Cousins}

Lily.
Kayla.

Sweet Little Cooking Cousins.

Summer 2010

{All Work ~ No Play}

Was that 3 exclamation marks following "your mailbox is full"???
Yep, I think it was. . .
Needless to say, I worked
all.
day.
long.

!!!

{See it over there?}

I know you probably cant. but.

I can.
As soon as I catch these nice folks out in the yard. . .I will
be stopping. and. asking. if they. would like to.
put a.
FOR SALE.
sign.
on those rocks.
that are a lovely fire place.

{Around my Town}

Where have these houses been all my life?

This one is on Knoxville.

(the front faces opposite street so I cant snap the front w/o being arrested. . .but they have some seriously fabulous ivy)

and this one
is on Nashville.

I took notice because they look kinda' "lake-e" & "beach-e". . .

and you know

I.love.both.

{Mmmm?}

When I first seen these two pictures I thought. . .

Pure sweetness.
But the more I studied them. . .
I am leaning more towards
T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

What do you think, MW?

(Notice the rubber band bracelets).

{Caught taking a cat-nap}

My sweet, tired

little boy.

{My-Oh-My}

My
Sweet

and

Silly

Little

Boy.

{Runner Love}

Saturday I was the "water girl"

(Actually, G2 Girl)

for the Chamber of Commerce 4th of July Run. . .

Race started 7:30. . . .runners rolling in at 7:40ish. Wow.

You people ROCK!
Snacks all ready.

Decor in place.

Video. Check.

And, of course, tunes.

Now. . .just to run it. . .someday.

I will never.

say.

never.

{Heres to the Heros}

Last week (or was that the week before?)

we attended

"Hometown Heroes Salute".

How awesome is that?

You know patriotism runs through my veins, so this was right up my alley.

We are proud of our Dad.

He works. . . and works some more. . .and continues to work.

He technically is off every other weekend, but with "drill weekend" he technically works all but one. . .and usually something is always "going on". Which makes life great! Right?

(Nothing quite like getting 3 kids ready by yourself for church every week. . .which makes my job interesting. . .but we get it done, and are glad to).

We love our country.
We love our military.
We love military families.

Times in America are. . .frightening.

But. . .

We can be encouraged first and foremost that God is in control.

Regardless of the economy. . .

Regardless of the oil spill. . .

Shoe bombers. . .

The President. . .

We love our Freedom.

We love our flag.

We love our "Hometown Hero".

{USA Boy}

Happy 4th of July!
Have a great weekend!

{My sister. . .}

is here from Little Rock, and we are having us a little visit.

Talk Later.

Love, Tonia
