A long time

Wow it has been a long time since I have posted. We have been really busy. I am about to graduate from Bevill on Thursday, May 12, 2011 and then start UAB hopefully this summer. Mary is in 5th grade and doing very well. Christopher is in 1st grade and doing very well. They love their teachers and friends. Barry has been doing what Barry always does, whatever strikes him to do at that time. We are thinking about getting a pool, but not totally sure yet.

A few weeks ago my beautiful daughter made the most important decision of her life. She decided to be baptized into Christ's church. She makes us all so proud. Barry cried like a baby while he watched from the pew. She is growing up so fast.

Christopher is still Christopher. He is very active and all the time going unless he is playing the Wii. He loves Mario. He has also told me that he wants to play football. So we are thinking about letting him play this fall and see how that goes. I am not sure if I want him to. He is a wonderful boy and makes us so proud as well.

Jonah is fifteen and driving. He actually is getting good at it. He is a wonderful young man and I know his mom is smiling down from heaven at him and his sister Jessica. They are wonderful children that I love dearly. I am so happy that Jonah comes over about once a week or more just to spend time with us. He is doind his first speech at Nashville this year and is doing so well. We love him and are proud of him as well.

We are getting ready to attent our annual Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes convention on Easter weekend and cannot wait. Our young people are doing so well preparing for this. Jonah is doing speech, song leading, and Bible bowl. Mary is doing speech, song leading, Bible bowl, photo, good Samaritan, Know the Books, and Parade of Winners. Christopher is doing song leading, Good Samaritan, Know the Books, Parade of Winners, and Junior Leaders. Jessica is doing song leading and not sure what else. They have already won in my eyes. It is not about the competition, but about learning more about God's Word and setting a wonderful example for everyone around you.

Well better get off here and get back to my school work. Yay! God Bless you all. Love you.

Second Semester Over!!!!! YES!

Well I have now come to the end of my second semester. I am so glad it is over. I had to take a class I absolutely do not like...History. I have never liked any form of History. And yes I still have to take another History class, but at least only one more. I took Western Civilizations I and it was boring. I do not care what they did back then. I have to take Western Civ II maybe in the Fall, but at least that will be it for History...History will be History for my major. I also took computer, which I had no problem with, especially since the book gies you step by step by step instructions on how to do the tasks. She posted that there were 3 A's and 6 B's and that was about half the class. I do not understand how anyone could not make an a or at least a b in the class. Oh well. My math class I had to make a -48 on the final to pass the class with a C, a 7.25 to pass with a B, and a 5? to pass with an A. I made a 92 and passed with 97.3. I also had English 102. I finished with straight A's again this term. I am so glad. I know it will probably get harder the farther I get into the program, but at least I have proven to myself that I can still use my brain. Summer term starts on the 27th. I will be taking Precal Trigin class on T and Th from 8-10 AM. I will be taking Anthropology and Survey of the New Testament online. Hopefully this will nt be too much with the kiddos at home for the summer. I also do not wantto take too much time from them as well. So if I look stressed one day, you know why.

Hope all have a good Summer.

L2L Convention and Easter

Our congregation went to our annual Lads to Leaders convention this past weekend in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel. We had a wonderful time. Lots of fun, walking, visiting, and did I mention walking. We were there from Thursday til Sunday. First of all, we met a high school friend of mine(she lives in the Nashville area now) across from Opry Mills Mall and let the children play for a couple of hours while we caught up. I loved getting to see her and her boys. We need to do this every year when we go up for L2L. Then we ate at Macaroni Grill and we loved it. We have never been there before, but will be going again. On Friday, we turned in ME's scrapbook and photo for that part of the competition. We hung out and walked all over the hotel and to the mall again. I know we walked at least 5 probably 10 or more miles every day. We had our Friday night awards and ME won 2nd place in the photo contest. On Saturday, she competed in Bible Bowl and Song Leading. Saturday night we had another award ceremony. During the awards ceremony I look over at Christopher and he has blood pooling in his mouth. I knew what it was so I did not panic. I told Barry to take him and rinse his mouth out while I looked for his tooth. Yes, he lost his first tooth at the awards ceremony and the tooth fairy got to come tha same night as the Easter bunny. ME's scrapbook did not place and she did not place in her songleading, but she did great. I am so proud of her for trying. Christopher did the k-2nd grade division for songleading. He did great as well. All our kiddos did great. We had several 1st and 2nd place winners in songleading and 3 out of 5 of our Bible Bowl teams placed in the top 3. Our youngest Bible Bowl team (the one ME is on) is being checked out since they think there was a mix up at the ceremony and the name was called wrong(the announcer couldn't read it). They think he was supposed to call Adamsville and instead he said Beal which there wasn't a team by that name. So they are checking to see and correct it if they did. If this is right then our youngest Bible bowl team also made it into the top 8. Sunday, we went to the worship service at the hotel. It was great. We then came home, unpacked and headed to Barry's moms house and the kids hunted Easter eggs. Then back to church, out to eat with Pop, and then home to go to bed. A long and busy weekend. It was well worth it and very Uplifting. Cannot wait til next year to do it all over again.
I am soooooo proud of all our young people. You are all winners.

Trunk or Treat 2009

We had our annual Trunk or Treat tonightat Adamsville Church of Christ. It went very well. The kiddos all looked cute and the adults and kiddos had loads of fun. There were all kinds of costumes. My kiddos were Hannah Montana and the Black Spiderman. Now we know what Mary would look like with blonde hair. Loads of candy and fun for all. Thanks to all who passed out candy to all the kiddos.

My Baby is 10!!!!!

My baby is 10 years old today. Wow how time has flown. It seems just like yesterday when I delivered her. We had her party on Saturday, October 10th. She had a skate party and had lots of fun. She cannot skate very well, but had a blast trying. Thank you to all who came and I will post pictures soon.
