TAG

So my friend in Korea tagged me to do this where you take the 4th photo in the 4th folder. Well I love her and the number 4 is my favorite so here it is!! I had to cheat a little since so many of my pics are of other people...you understand! I tag S, Karri, Mandi and Marsha!

So this photo was taken in March 08 on the first camping trip we took with our pop up camper. We went to Glen Rose Texas, the dinosaur park. Stephen LOVES to hike and I DO NOT, but we were looking at all the tracks and some are in water. Don't worry if you fall in they have "life saving" jugs for you!! I found it funny and took a picture of them. I wonder if they really work? They probable do and the park has them there rather than expensive rings, it makes me wonder how many everyday things I take for granted that can be used for something? Anyway...

I am off to bed. We go to Graham tomorrow for my side of the family Christmas. Should be fun the Heather Belle will be there...all the way from Hawaii. I cannot wait to see her!

Until later...

ps Please pray for my friends in Knoxville they are getting a house ready to sale and moving to another state. I know those transitions are hard...so please pray that everything falls into place for them! THANKS!!

WOW

So I am a little behind on my posting! Seems like I have posted but I guess I have been in full swing Anniversary, Christmas and Birthday mode.

Stephen and I celebrated our 12th anniversary on Sunday the 21st. It is so hard to believe that we have been married that long! I am so blessed to have him and he really spoiled me this anniversary. He gave me a cruise! We are going in March on a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise! We are so excited!!

For Christmas Eve my parents and grandparents came over. We enjoyed being with them and letting the kids play with the wiggle cars Nonnie and Poppy got them. Then we have had a laid back Christmas day. Again I have been VERY spoiled and VERY surprised by my gifts. Stephen got me an ipod that he even had engraved with a message! I love it! Of course the kids are having fun with gifts and all the fun of Christmas.

Hope you have a great day and remember the REAL reason for the season. JESUS!

Love, E

ps i will post photos soon

THE dress

(I have not proofed these photos but HAD to post them)

With that here is the dress, well collar that I smocked. The red velvet dress is from when I was a little girl. The collar took several hours and I enjoyed making it for her. I did most of the work at my parents farm. I am so thankful I can make these heirlooms for my precious little girl.

I better head to bed.

Princess Meri

So Merideth came out of her room with this on her head. She said, "Mommy I am a princess." It reminded me of when my sister and I would dress up like Mary and Joseph.

...remodel...

So here is the almost finished product. All we lack is finishing, as my Daddy would say! Also cleaning up the stuff, putting up tools and you know just finishing. Our plan is to list soon. So with that we need to CLEAN, SORT and get it done!

More later!

Christmas Past

This photo was taken last year while we were on a cruise. We had so much fun with the kids. Stephen had just returned from a 6 month deployment and we decided to get away as a family. We really love to cruise and look forward to going again, hopefully soon!

Dale had just turned 5 and Merideth was 2 and a half. They are certainly growing up too fast!

We are busy getting the house ready for market and just getting ready for all the little things that go on with a move. We are planning, right now, to move early May. Stephen's class starts June 8.

I better go teach!
