The Adventures of The Young Brothers Part 2

A couple of weeks ago, some thing pretty funny happened one night. I was sitting on the couch and the boys were in the dining room where their desk and art supplies are. I thought they were being awfully quiet and suspected some mischief was happening. I heard silence and occassional giggles from Jameson. I hollered from the living room to ask Jameson what he was doing. He said he was "painting." (This is what he calls coloring some times.) I asked him what he was coloring a couple of times and he said "Paper!" I should have gotten up to double check the situation but I trusted him. All the while, I still had the nagging Mothering instinct that some thing was going on. A couple of minutes later, Jameson and Landon came into the kitchen but Landon ran past the doorway so fast I didn't see him. Jameson went to the master bathroom, then came back into the kitchen where Landon was. I noticed that he would laugh when he saw Landon. I asked him what he was laughing at. He replied, "His face!" while pointing Landon's way. That's when I saw him. I laid over in the kitchen floor cracking up laughing after hollering for Anthony to come see. He was more worried about Landon than amused. I assured him the markers were non toxic and and after my giggles were gone, (and photos snapped for memories) I scolded Jameson for using Landon's face as a canvas for his artwork. He was quite a thorough artist, even coloring inside of his ears. Landon didn't seem to mind a bit though! It appears he also taste tasted the markers during the art session. LOL. We'll never forget this!

Making a list and checking it twice......

It's here again, the week of another Kentucky Kids Consignment Sale! I'm happy to be DONE with all of the gathering, entering, ironing, tagging and checking in! Anthony is on vacation this week and has been a tremendous help. I enjoyed working tonight and spotted a couple of things I really hope some one doesn't get to before I do. (fingers crossed;) Tomorrow I will go out on a REAL DATE, some thing I haven't done in a year with my sweetie! THEN, Wednesday, it's TIME TO SHOP til' I drop (or run out of money...lol)! I'm sitting on the couch making a list of what my boys need so I'll know what to shop for. Most of the "needs" are for Jameson. Of course, I'll walk out of the Prichard Community Center with a few "wants" also. With all of the clothes, shoes and purses, I'm sure I'll find some thing for Mommy too. ;) Lastly, Anthony and I are working the Sale together Thursday which I am looking forward to again. I wasn't sure if he would want to do it again and I'm excited to be able to spend so much time with him this week "kidless"! He looks pretty hot in the aprons, if you ask me. HaHa! (He'll probably opt OUT of wearing one this time.)

Getting back to my list now! What a wonderful week.....

               September 13, 2003 ~ The day I married my best friend ~

Almost 8 years and 2 gorgeous sons later......Where has the time gone?

I can't wait for our date next Tuesday night! (Those don't happen often with the 2 gorgeous sons in the picture:) I'm also excited to get to work the Kentucky Kids Consignment Sale together again!  God has blessed me with a godly husband and wonderful Daddy with a huge heart!

Happy (early) Anniversary to us!

Jameson and I were singing "He Knows My Name" last night in the car. I was trying to teach him to say the words the right way. I explained to him that Jesus knows his name. I also told him that Jesus would knock on his heart one day and he should open the door to let him in. That's when he made the sound of a door creaking open. He cracks me up some times!

(I added a silly picture of us. Jameson wants me to open my mouth like this for pictures. Ha Ha!)

The Definition of Cute!

The faces I love!

Just for smiles:

Jameson recently taught Landon the art of preaching. They tag team their sermons, each holding plastic hammers or oblong shaped toys for their microphones. Books are used for their Bibles. Landon has a growly preacher voice and stomps around the living room while we crack up laughing. Jameson uses a handkerchief like his Daddy and pants during his message about "Train Tracks." What would we do for laughs without these guys?!

One year ago today my sweet Mother-in-law, Pam went to be with the Lord. Remembering that night causes the sadness to wash over me again. It was so hard to watch my husband grieve the loss of a parent for the second time. Yet the Comforter has been with us every step of the way and we couldn't have done it without Him. We miss her very much. Life will never be the same. It's hard knowing she won't be here to watch her grandbabies grow up. Jameson has amazed us by how much he remembers her and misses her to this day. He talks of "Memaw" often and even incorporates her into his play time. Landon resembles her, and it's a precious gift from God to be able to catch a glimpse of her when we look at him. It's so sweet to know that it's not "Good-bye" but, "See you later!"

Country Living

We've enjoyed the veggies from our Pastor's garden and are planning on growing our own next year. I have never put up vegetables of any kind so I was proud of the half bushel of corn that I did recently. The boys enjoyed munching while I was shucking it outside! We've only eaten one bag so far but it was delicious.

Shucked & washed!

In the bowl...

My 7 bags of corn : )

I couldn't resist including this clip of Jameson!
