Our week and weekend has been...

AC on the camper... broken. (btw Would anyone would like a Pop-Up camper?;) Computer Router...broken. Vacuum cleaner...broken. DVD player...broken. Mower...flat tire so I consider it.... broken. So I try and crank the push mower...broken. I text my sweet husband who is working seven days a week at the moment...."Why does everything break all at once?" And several hours later I text him this..."I am ready for your manly help PLEASE." He texted me back..."Take a deep breath:) I'll be home soon. Love you" He gets home at 5 and he replaces the broken router, replaced the belt on the vacuum (we happen to have one that fit. Thank you Lord) fixed the flat on the mower and with a little starter fluted gets the push mower started. Thank you so much hunny. Do you all ever feel like, okay what next? And your spouse is calm... and just takes care of it. This happens to us a lot in our 14 years of marriage, one of us is upset and the other calms us down. I think this is wonderful and Gods way of keeping balance in our home and in our marriage.

With Jeff working today, we were not sure if we would make it to the Farm Fair. He made it home 30 minutes before we were to leave! Yay!

Our Wolf, Ranger and Princess.

Looks like Jared is "saying" don't mess with my brother and sister!

We had a fun visit with Nenaw and Papaw before going to the

Farm Fair.

I really like this one... and I'm not sure why.

Cool. But kinda creepy too. ;)

Grace loved the Fire Truck. We told the kids that Papaw Cornett used to drive one of those and the boys thought that was really COOL!

No Grace don't clean the pig with the sponge, throw it at the pig! This was hilarious!!! Caden enjoyed this game station so much he stayed and helped work it for awhile.


They loved this one too!

Snow White was sleeping by 7 and in bed by 7:30. Thank you Fellowship Bible Church we all had a wonderful time tonight!

“And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.” Colossians 3:15

Multi-Tasking

On Monday, I asked Caden if he would turn on the shower for Grace. A few minutes later I asked him if the shower was running for her and he said "Yea she's gettin in" I walk in to check on her and this is what I find.

Grace Elizabeth we never know what you will do next. ;)

Answer to Prayer

Thankful for Dad's good report from the doctor yesterday! His heart is functioning close to where is was before the heart attack in August! This is a much different report from only 3 months ago. God is so good!!!

A Weekend Filled With Firsts

Not long after dropping the boys off at school it was time for me to hook up to the camper for the first time by myself. :) We decided I would head out to the campsite early to start setting up camp and after Jeff got off of work he would pick up the kids and meet us there.

Yay! I did it! I was so nervous about doing this... but really was kinda easy. Afterwards, I was so excited, I had to get a picture before leaving the driveway! I know I'm goofball. When Grace and I got to our campsite thankfully my parents were already there to help guide me as I backed into our site. Thank you to my wonderful husband and Dad for teaching me how to do this.

Grace reeling in her first fish...with no help.

Good job baby girl.

Dad teaching Jared how tie a fisherman knot.

Daddy teaching Caden and Jace how to place a bobber.

Papaw caught the other catch of the day. As you can see the kids enjoyed this.

Papaw giving their first quick lesson on how to hold a fish with out getting finned.

First cousins enjoying camping.

Carving our first...

jack-o-lantern...

as a family.

The boys wanted it to look scary.

This has been a wonderful weekend. A weekend of teaching, and a weekend of firsts.

Six Years Ago

‎6 yrs. ago my life almost changed in a way that makes me scared in a way that should never be felt. My wife, my red haired angel received a miracle. She was given a second chance at life, a brain aneurysm almost stole her from me. My life, my heart, my everything.

This is what Jeff posted on his facebook today. I'm in tears! That was beautiful. I can't even give him a hug, he's in class tonight. :(
