I'm gunna miss this.

 To some we may be considered the babysitters of the family but that's ok. We are together all the time anyway so why not spend time with the nieces and nephews. This little miss adores him. 
oh Ellie



here's proof of the matter. You would have thought there was a parrot in the house.

 I spent a few days babysitting these two precious children. Long enough to become attached but decided against making it a full time job. I still miss them.
Cheyanne and JJ

 Someone special had a birthday
 family celebrations
 Addy just enjoying the outdoors

 Myles inhaling food so "he gets big like a daddy"


 We enjoyed some steak and chicken by Texas Roadhouse for the occasion
 followed by one last round of mini golf to use up a free game that he had won.

Stopped by some friends and they had a cake for the birthday as well. Excuse the glossy complexions. We had just finished playing football.

The boyfriend has departed.
Now life continues without him here. It was painful driving home from the airport. It's been a long time since I drove that far all alone. BORING!
Along with the separation comes the joy of planning a wedding. I'm hoping it fills most of my next three months so I have no time to think on other things. He proposed on Sept. 8...just three days before he left.
Two days to do lots of shopping together and take some pictures! Let the fun begin.
the day I said yes.
                                                 ......excuse the phone pix. it's the best I had with me.

When I Grow Up

My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp
