After School Fun!!!!!

The girls eating a pop tart after school. Yes.....I have taught Josy to eat with her mouth closed..but she gets sooooo excited when Miranda comes to play!!!! After their snack they dressed up like Jasmine and Snow White. I do believe they are actually

prettier than the princesses themselves! They are so precious! They love each other so much! I took a TON of pictures and they all turned out sooooo good. I'll try and post more real soon!

Johnathan and the 2 Munchkins!

Johnathan hard at work!! He is so helpful and such a good boy! He didn't even complain~~well....too much! LOL!

The girls supervising and having a good time no matter what they are doing!

Without Braces!

I snapped this picture of Johnathan on our deck. He HATES his picture made so this is one of the very first ones that I have of him without his braces!

Of course when Josy found out what I was doing she wanted to get involved. She got in his face and kept saying let me see your teeth, BUBBA!!!!

Johnathan gets his braces off! YAHOO!!!

This is Johnathan before he got his braces off!!!!! This is the last picture of him with his braces. Can you tell that he was not too excited about having his picture taken?

Making Memories.....

I am not a crafty kind of mom so.....you can imagine my dismay when Miss Josy had to make a potholder for her Christmas tree at school. The tree was to be decorated by the children and then each class would auction their tree off to raise funds for the new building. Since I am not a crafty kind of mom I was a little nervous about this project!!!! But.....I was ready for the challenge! I then realized that they were like the potholders that I had made when I was small. I never imagined that I would be doing these with my daughter one day! We had so much fun. The tree turned out SOOOO cute!

She was so proud of her creation!!!!

My Soccer Babe!!!

This is little Miss Attitude! She looked over at me, daddy and ma maw and saw we were talking to one another and not giving her our undivided attention. She snapped her fingers and then pointed to herself and then this is the look we got. I knew this was coming because this is not the first time this happened. SO.... that is why I knew to get my camera. All I can say is.... PLEASE pray for us as we raise this little package of DYNAMITE! LOL!!!

Here is an action shot! I know this is blury, but it is the only one I have of her getting a goal!

Josy played like a champ. She made 4 goals! I am sooo proud of her. She was so excited and so wanting a trophy! Yes she loves trophies. She has 4 trophies and a scooby that she won at an amusement park. Her coach was telling me that she is VERY TALENTED. He said that if she sticks with it she will go far. He said that for someone her size, she is really motivated and she is the fastest one on the field. I was very proud of her. Now ENOUGH bragging! What does the Bible say about Pride that it cometh before the fall! UGH! I do not want to BOAST but I do love her and even if she couldn't play at all I would still be a proud momma!

A Princess outfit~or 2~for Josy

No I am not kidding! My TOMBOY actually ask for a Jasmine outfit. So when we got to the Disney store they had Snow White "on Sale". So of course we got both. I am so excited! I can not believe it! She called her daddy and said "Daddy I am Jasmine!" She told me that she likes girl stuff now! I hope it lasts but I seriously doubt that it will! I think this started in Chattanooga when she took her GLITTER PRINCESS shoes. She packed them herself. We will just have to wait and see if it lasts.....In the meantime have you EVER saw a more beautiful princess?????

FALL BREAK!!!

We took a little family trip to Chattanooga for fall break. We went to the Aquarium and the IMAX theatre. I was not impressed with the IMAX! Those glasses really hurt my eyes! Johnathan was not impressed either, HE took a nap!!! We also went to a mystery dinner show! I had never been to one and it was fun! A definite do again thing! The children's museum was FANTASTIC!!! I sure wish we had one around here.

I love this picture! These two are my WORLD!!! Johnathan, you are such a great big brother. I am so proud of you. Even though you are older, you are and always will be my baby! I am so proud the Lord has molded you into what HE would have you be, in spite of me and my human efforts as a mom. I Love you more than you will ever know. My prayer is that Josy will grow up to be as good of a person as you are! She is so blessed to have you to influence her life.

Here are some pictures of the childrens museum.

The big boys enjoyed the museum too!

Remember the CAMERA I was coveting at the pumpkin patch????

YEA, you guessed it. My hubby surprised me with it on the trip. I was soooo surprised. This was soooo unexpected, sweet and thoughtful! Honey, thank you sooooo much! I love you!!!! Did I mention that I am the most blessed woman in the world?????

A little positive note.....

Josy has decided that she likes to dress up! YAHOO! There is hope for ME! She even said that she wants a remote control car..... one that is A GIRL one. She said that she did not want it to look like a boy!! SO....Do they make a girl remote control car?

A Field Trip to the Pumpkin Farm!!!!

My little Josy had her VERY FIRST field trip with the school. Darrell and I took off from work to celebrate the special day. It was absolutely GORGEOUS and the kids had a super fun time! It seems like yesterday we were at the Pumpkin farm with Johnathan! I need to post some pictures of him at the pumpkin farm when he was in Kindergarten. He was sooooo cute! But~~~you would not catch him carrying a pumpkin~~that was mamaw's job! Yes he was a wee bit spoiled.

COUSINS SHARE SOOOOO MANY SPECIAL TIMES!!!!

Josy loved the dog so much we took a picture.

Brooke, Mary and Josy

See all the moms shooting snapshots of their precious children? I noticed that one mom in particular had a camera that well~~~I wanted. You know, so I could PRESERVE my memories. Darrell said "Do you know how much that camera costs?" I said "Yes, but think of all the money we would save with professional pictures." He DID not buy it! He thinks I will not take care of it. EVEN lose it! Now you that know me know better! HEEHEE!! I should and will be thankful I even have a Camera~~~FOR NOW! LOL!

What a AWESOME looking group of Kindergartners!
