The Reason

I found a reason to change who I used to be...and the reason is JESUS!!

Happy Easter to everyone! May we all remember the REAL reason we celebrate this holiday!

Members Only!

When my grandpa (aka "Daddy Billy") passed away last Oct. I asked my grandmother if I could have his "Members Only" jacket. My Daddy Billy, always wore this jacket..... always!! There was no way I was going to let this little windbreaker make it to the "good will" pile....... uh.... the thought of this jacket ending up in the hands of someone who would not appreciate it just crushed me........... so........I am now the official last "Member" and I am proud of it!!!!

I was going through old pics and came across this one. Middle school dance ( 7th grade)



OMG!!! What was I thinking? I don't know which is worse, my hair or my outfit? I thought I looked so hot that night! Ha! I was the biggest nerd.... well, I still am....but at least I have better hair!

and of course no middle school dance would be complete without a little Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock!

Sweet 16

Today is the day!! My daughter is officially sixteen!! Time must have wings because it sure has flown by way too fast!!

I am so proud of my daughter and the young woman she is becoming! I pray that she continues to follow God's plan for her life! Today her youth is behind her... and her whole life is in front of her!!


Thinking about what she wants so wish for.. hope it isn't a car!! lol




Thank God this pic was so dark you couldn't see the ulgy "Mario Bros. toadstool cake I made her!! I could have photoshopped her a kick butt cake though!! lol




I Love You Kayla!!! Happy Sweet 16!!

(Have to add a video to go with the post!!)

Back to School

Finally the kids are back to school!! After a busy summer.... I am glad to get everyone back to a routine.

Happy Birtday Daddy Billy!

Today is my grandpa's birthday! He is a special man and is very dear to my heart!!

To my grandpa:

Thanks for always being such a wonderful grandfather all these years!!.... from the fun times fishing.... and pulling me in the inner tube behind your boat...and for making the best barb-b-que I have ever tasted!! I love you!!

" Happy Birthday Daddy Billy!!"
