HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL




Okay, who is not into High School Musical? I don't know who was more excited....me and my sisters or our girls!! We got together at Danielle's the night it "premeried"!! We had HSM plates, cups, napkins, confetti, etc.....We even had Pauls Pastry make us some cookies!! We had so much fun!! Camryn and I wore our HSM t-shirts!! Isn't being the Mama to a girl so much fun!!



These are pictures of Fisher and Maddix. They are my sister Danielles twins!! They are 19 months old and keep my sister quite BUSY! They are so much fun and so different. Maddix is definitely one of the girls. Whenever Kenidy, Delaney and Camryn are playing she is right in there with them!! And Fisher just kind of stays out of their way!! To much fun!!

Hooray for Saturdays!!! Although I am at work at least we got to sleep a little bit later! Camryn has a yucky cough and cold and was at the Dr. yesterday. Don't you just hate it when your kids are sick! Whenever she gets sick I tell myself to remember to be more thankful when she is well.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

This picture of Camryn and Kenidy was taken after a program at church a while back. Kenidy is my neice and she and Camryn love to play with each other. Kenidy is my sister Danielle's oldest daughter. Danielle also has 19 month old twins, Fisher and Maddix. I don't know how she does it. But she is good at it!!

a brief history

Being that I just started this blogging, I thought I might share a brief history of me and my family.

I am 38 years old and have lived in Picayune most of my life. I'm very lucky to say that all of my family lives nearby. I have been married to Darren since 1989 and in 2000 God blessed us with the best thing that ever happend to me. CAMRYN MEILING SPEIGHTS!!! Camryn was 6 months old when we adopted her from China and truly an answer to so many prayers. Being a mother is the best thing!! My little girl amazes me everyday. She will be 8 years old in December and I can't believe how fast the years are going by. Everyone warned me but you just don't realize it till it is happening to you.

Almost a year ago I bought the video store that I have worked at for years and years. I work more now than I used to but I enjoy it. And I'm very lucky that Camryn goes to school about a minute away from here. So if I ever needed to go get her I could be there in no time! Camryn goes to school at Roseland Park Baptist Church Academy. That is the church I was raised in. I attended my 1st church service as a newborn there, I was baptized there, I was married there, my sisters were married there and I am so glad that Camryn is there now. I love the environment of the school. I love that she comes home singing Christian songs and quoting Bible verses that she learns. It's an awesome place to leave her every morning!

I've rambled enough. Gonna try and post some more pics!!

Monday morning

Hey all!! It's Monday morning and here I sit in front of my computer reading everyone else's blog and thought I might just give it a try myself. I seriously doubt I'll be a quarter as creative as the other blogs I read but I'm gonna do it anyway.

We had a great weekend. I was off Saturday and Sunday, which almost never happens, and my friend Wendy came and visited us. Wendy and I have been friends since she and her family moved here when we were in 2nd grade. As we sat watching Camryn play with her cousin Kenidy we realized that we were Camryn's age when we met. I feel so lucky to have stayed such good friends with her all these years. She hasn't lived in Picayune since we graduated high school in '86 but we've never lost touch. Camryn adores her and was so happy to have her come for a visit!
