Happy Halloween

What a fun night! Poppy, B.B. and Uncle Jake came by on their way out to see C.J.. B.B. is so great at gift giving and Halloween is no exception. C.J. was so excited to see them. Then, before we left to go to friends, I let C.J. go over to our Neighbors who were eagerly expecting his visit. They both were VERY creative and our one neighbor, who meant to look like a wizard, looked more like Moses and that was okay by me!

C.J. looked so cute as a clown. I had a little nose I wanted him to wear but he would have none of that..even trying to get him to wear a hat is not easy at all...actually impossible:) I wanted him to be something really sweet this year. It's so hard watching them grow up and starting next year who knows what he may want to be..tonight he was still our sweet little 4 year old boy.

We then headed to Moe's for a quick dinner, they know C.J. and I by name there,before heading to our good friends house, the Chaney's. We had such a good time and C.J. just had a blast hanging with his best buddy Kedric...this maybe our NEW Family tradition unless anyone wants to do a fun Hay ride next year...let us know! Hope everyone had a fun BUT safe night....can't wait for next year.

99 Ballons...get the tissue out!!!

This video is so amazing! I have seen it a few times and every time it makes me cry. The parents were on Oprah yesterday and the Parents said they are expecting their second child in a few weeks. The one thing that the Mom said was she refused to be sad, that she could do that later, that she wantd to have these days with Elliot and be happy. I think, as hard as it is most days, we all need to live our lives that way because we don't know what tomorrow will bring!

Bath time is ALWAYS fun!!!!!!

More Pic;s from our Beach trip....

I forgot about all the other picture's from our Beach trip. We had such a good time and I am so thankful that I got to spend some good quality time with my sweet friend Barb. We had not seen each other in almost 2 years, so we had a LOT to catch up on. I have to say a big thank you to God for the great Family He has given me and such special friends over all these years...good and loyal friends are very hard to find these day so hang on to the ones that are your 100% sure friends:)

Peter Furler..the Lead Singer of "The Newsboys"

On Friday, Barb and I, went over to the Beach for a little while and as we pulled up to the Beach House we met the Lead Singer of "The Newsboy's" , Peter Furler. He was so nice, he told us how he saved a Mom and her 15 year old Daughter the day before in the water. That night after taking some pic's on the Beach he came out with his Wife , Summer, and talked to us for a while, they were staying next door to my In-Law's Beach House. They were both the nicest people and we hope to see them again in the future.

more pic's from Mississippi Visit....

Our Beach Pictures

My friend Barb took some pic's of us on the Beach...we had such a good time. I wanted to post them because some of our Family and friends wanted to see them. Please let us know which one's you like the best and we will send you copies.

Fun at the Mississippi Fair!!!!

We had such a good time tonight at the Mississippi Fair. I have not always been big on going to the Fair BUT since having C.J. I see these things a lot different now. When C.J. is having fun...I am having fun, no matter what it is! When I see how much fun he was having and that we got to experience it with his Mimi and Uncle Dustin it made it more special. It makes me sad that he doesn't have them in Knoxville to build so many more memories with but you hold onto those that you do have and take LOT'S of pictures!!! Tomorrow we are going to the Pumpkin Patch....can't wait!

Pretty neat video of UT Band

C.J. saying his Bible Verse from School

C.J. surprised me tonight after his bath with his Bible verse he has been learning in School, I almost cried! I really feel,as his Mom, that I fail so much, but when I see that he is excited about going to BSF, Sunday School and reading his Bible I feel that I am doing THE most important thing for him. His favorite story in the Bible right now is "The Burning Bush" and he has actually been reading the whole story BY HIMSELF!!!I am sure a lot of it is a VERY good memory but it just touches my heart that he, at such a young age, has such a heart for Jesus:)
