Just thought I'd share what we've been doing for the past few weeks. Camryn and I have been wanting to re-do her room for a while now. She so wanted to get rid of her "baby" wallpaper border and have a "pink" room. Plus she has had her heart set on some furniture with "jewels" on it! Well we finally bit the dust and did it all. Here are some before and after pics.

Oh my goodness!! I can't believe it's been so long since I've put anything new on here. Here are a few pics I took at the Christmas parade. The kids had a GREAT time. It's so much fun to watch them. I've been going to our Christmas parade for many years. Many years I was in the parade, either for a dance school, the band or PRCC's dance team. That was always fun but I think this year was my favorite. Camryn, Kenidy and Delaney had a blast and Fisher and Maddix really enjoyed it too. And us big kids did our share of diving for the good stuff!! "Oooohhh a peanut butter cup!" HA HA HA

Happy Halloween!! Ha Ha just a week or so late!! Foolish me left my camera at my Aunt's house halloween night and I just got it back today. We always go to my Aunt's house for halloween and all have a great time. We have lots of food and candy and the kids go trick or treating for a little while. As you can see from the pics, we had a cheerleader, 2 princesses, 2 spidermans and 3 pumpkins!! FUN FUN FUN!!

Monday, Monday, Monday!! Yuck!! How do the weekends go by so fast? I think we should change the rules and have school and work be only 2 days and have the other 5 days off!! Wouldn't that be cool? Just thought I'd put a couple of pics on here of me and Camryn before church on Sunday. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Hope everyone has a great week. Happy Halloween!

Just wanted to show a picture of Delaney and Spencer. Aren't they sweet?

Monday morning

These were taken this morning before school. Check out Camryn's expression when she sees what is happening to the pumpkins under the tree!!

SUNDAYS AT MIMI'S!!!

SUNDAYS AT MIMI'S!!!

Here is a pic of Camryn before school on Thursday morning. I thought she looked so cute!!

Look at my pretty girl!! She is doing one of her fav things.......playing her game boy. I tell Camryn all the time that when I was a kid we didn't have things like game boys to play with in the car. We didn't have portable DVD players or leapsters or for that matter C.D.'s. I also told her how we didn't have computers, DVD players, VCR's ,cable t.v. and the thing that freaked her out the most was when I said we didn't even have remote controls for the t.v. WOW She probably can't imagine that as I can't imagine how my Mom and Dad didn't have indoor plumbing, a private phone line, etc......Gosh, does that mean I'm getting old? I did just turn 39 the other day. Last year in my 30's......Mercy mercy mercy

A poem for Camryn's Birthmother

I found this poem on another Mothers blog and still have tears in my eyes from reading it. It is just beautiful and I had to share it.




I imagine you kissedher sweet face so round
And gently placed herwhere she would be found
I imagine your heartache your pain and your tears
I wish I could show you and soften your fears
I’d show you a girl with hope in her eyes
A girl who loves stories and sweet lullabies
A girl who laughs freely and loves to play
A girl who sings sweetly and dances all day
A girl with a future So funny and smart
A girl who loves musicand reading and art
A girl who I hope has your courage one day
I know it took courage to love and walk away
Her beautiful smile I wish you could see
She looks like you and laughs like me
So, imagine her laughter Imagine her touch
I wish I could show you she’s loved so much
Remember her face Remember that kiss
And when you cry, remember this
Beyond your tears Beyond your pain
Sometimes the sunshines through the rain
And I know that she’ll ask me about you one day
I’ll tell her you loved her and wished she could stay
I’ll help her remember and imagine you, too
when she starts to wonder and dream about you
We’ll look at the moon I’ll give her a kiss and when she cries, I’ll tell her this
Beyond your tears Beyond your pain Sometimes the sunshines through the rain

My sister and I had such a good time last night while talking on the phone. She was looking at my blog and we were laughing about the "Roxanne needs" section. So of course we had to check out what "Danielle needs". She doesn't have a blog so I'm just gonna have to post her "needs" for her.......

Danielle needs more self respect when it comes to boys.

Danielle needs to get ready for bed.

Danielle needs to take responsibility.

Danielle needs your vote.

Danielle needs a cheap cheap cheap notebook.

Danielle needs a photo-op with cows and cheese.

Danielle needs to update more.

Danielle needs no rescuing.

Ya'll need to do this.......it is to funny!!
