This and that.

It has been a while since I have posted. We have been very busy. We had Easter and our annual Lads to Leaders Convention. Our kids did great. Mary was upset, becaue she didn't place n anything. I just told her that not all will place and she will need to work a little harder next time. She was mostly upset, because the judge over her Bible Bowl team told them they made the top 8. We found out later that they did not make the top 8 and it really upset the whole team.
I just found out Sunday that I hurt a friends feelings and totally did not mean to. I am one who absolutely hates to hurt someone's feelings, so when I do it really bothers me. I am this way because I know exactly how it feels and don't want to do that to others. I have friends whoi get together and go do things as a group and I am not invited. This is why I try my best not to leave someone out. I recently had a few girls over to watch Twilight. It ended up being me and one oher lady. I didn't even think to invite someone and ended uo hurting her feelings. This was totally unintentional and I would never try to exclude someone or hurt them. When I saw that I had hurt her feelings I felt really bad. I am almost always left out and know how it hurts, so I try to not do it to anyone. I am not perfect s I mess up sometimes. I can only ask she forgives me and try not to do it again. I am sorry for hurting your feelings, you know who you are. I didn't want to say your name in case you didn't want to be named. I do love you and want to spend time with you and I will remember you next time.

Busy, Busy Weekend to come.

Well starting tomorrow after Christopher's Easter Egg hunt at school, we will be heading to Nashville, the Opryland Hotel, for a weekend full of activities with our church family. We go every year for our Lads to Leaders and Leaderettes Convention. This is an event that teaches our young people how to be leaders in our church. There are actually 5 convention sites, Nashville, TN, Memphis, TN, Indianapolis, IN, Atlanta, GA and Orlando, FL. So there are thousands of children and adults participating in the weekend events. Christopher will be doing song leading. This will be Mary's first year to actually compete in any event. She did know the books and good samaritan at home and will be doing...Black and white photo, color photo, Speech, Bible Bowl and Song leading and Bible reading up there. I want to wish all of our young people luck and hope they all realize the wonderful oportunity they are being handed with this weekend and all the time at home.
Happy Easter everyone.

Busy, Busy, Busy Day. Wonderful Day!!!

Well today was another very busy and jam packed Saturday. We started the day with a Bible Bowl cookout and study/competition. Mary did well. She was excited about getting to go do the Bible Bowl work and I hope she stays this excited about learning the Bible since it is the most important part of life. We had a good turn out and great fellowship. Thanks Don and Sandra for your hard work with these children.
Tonight we had Corners 3rd-6th grade CES Pageant. Mary's group(3rd grade) had 12 girls in it. We had to be at Beville State at 4-4:30 this afternoon for pictures. We go there around 4:30 and got her into her dress and shoes. By that time the curls had almost completely fallen out of her hair. Her hair does not hold curl very well. It was still cute. Then the pageant started at 6PM. She won Miss Photogenic (judges choice) then she won People's Choice Photogenic. She didn't place in the other part, but she was so excited to get another 2 trophies and a tiara. She was beautiful. She kept saying I got another one(trophie) to go with hers from last year. She says she wants to do it again next year. My friend Tammy took the photogenic picture. She has a great record with the picture taking. She has taken several shots for different people this year for different school pageants and everyone she has taken has won the photogenic title. So I told her she is hired for next year as well, if Mary still says she wants to do it. We will see. I am the proud momma, but I would be just as proud if she had not won anything. She is a beautiful little girl without some judge saying so. Thanks Tammy.

ME's Photo Shoot

Here is the pictures for Mary's photo shoot today with a friend of mine and her daughter. We had a great time. They were taken downtown on Morris Avenue. The girls have been good friends since k-4 at DFBK. These were taken to get a good one for Mary's photogenic contest on the 28th for her pageant. Anyone who would like to see her in the pageant is welcome to come. It is March 28th at 6PM at Bevill State in Sumiton. The first shot is the one we chose to enter. Thanks Tammy.

Weight Loss, Speech/Song Practice and Helping Someone else

This has been a busy day, but a wonderful day. It started out this morning with going to my weigh in. I wasn't expecting to lose much, but when I weighed it said I lost 1.4 pound. I asked was she sure. She said I could get back on there and see and I did. It was right. Yeah! So now I a up to a loss of 110.8 or something close to that.
Then we went to Carla's for the girls to practice there speeches and song for Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes. Our girls are doing so well. I am so proud of Mary Elizabeth. She has done alot better than I thought she would. Since she doesn't like to speak to people or in front of alot of people, I thought she woud either not do it or speak really low. No! She didn't. She got up there and said it loud enough for everyone to hear her and she lead her song and did her speech. Now all we have to do is try to memorize her speech and work on doing two verses of her song. I think she will do great. I tell her all the time it doesn't matter if she wins or not as long as she gets up there and does her best. It is just for the fun and spreading of God's word. She agrees with me. Also in two weeks she will be in her schools pageant and she is doing it as well for the fun and hopefully both of these events will help her come out of her shyness. I sure hope so, since I am still like that and don't like to talk in front of alot of people.
Then the girls met up at our house with the guys and went to a family from Corner who about 2 weeks ago lost their home to fire. We all went as a group to deliver alot of items our boys and girls and other members of the congregation collected for them. They sure seemed to really appreciate it since they lost everything and are now looking for a new place to live.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this wonderful effort to help someone who really needs the help. Also thank you to all the kids for putting in the effort to do their best when we go to L2L in Nashville.

Def Leopard/Poison/Cheap Trick

WOW!!! Three of my all time favorite bands are coming in concert together in August. Lauren and I are going and not sure who else. I absolutely cannot wait. Laruen and I both really like these bands. I grew up in the 80's listening to them and many others like them and Lauren grew up with her dad listening to them and loves them too. I cannot wait.
