Dear Lord

I ran across this the other day and could not help but laugh....


Dear Lord,
SO far today, I'm doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or self-indulgent. I have not whined, complained, threatened my children, used time-out, or eaten any chocolate. I have charged nothing on my credit card.
But, I will be getting out of bed in a minute, and I think I will really need your help then.

Isn't It AMAZING

Isn't it Amazing that a child who could not hold his head up until 1 1/2 years old is now riding a horse?? Isn't it amazing that a child who Dr's said was "incompatible with life " is almost 7? Isn't it amazing that a child who could not stand to have anything on his head is wearing a helmet? I could go on and on about Davis. This is a little boy who defies all that is against him. Despite his limitations Davis seems to keep on pushing the envelope. He is a fighter.. And on the days when I am tired, frustrated and don't seem to understand. I am reminded that Davis is a true miracle !! We have come along way and I don't want to ever forget that. Davis never ceases to amaze me !!!

Fall in Gatlinburg/Dollywood

This weekend we all went to Gatlinburg and Dollywood. It was a perfect time to go. The weather was wonderful and the leaves were beautiful !!!



Cathyrn loves driving the cars.....

Davis rode for the first time by himself. I am to big and can no longer squeeze into the rides with him. It was sooo sweet seeing Davis with Cathryn and their cousin Hayden riding together. Davis really enjoyed it !!!!



My two sweet angels !!!

I can't wait until my parents, sister and her family come to Gatlinburg for Thanksgiving!!! What a wonderful time ..













This is as crafty as I get !!!


A few weeks ago I got on a kick to #1 paint Davis' room and #2 make Cathryn a giant chalk board. Since moving in our house last year I have wanted to make the bonus room more "play friendly."
Cathryn loves her chalk board and all it took was a little paint and some white molding!!! I am not very creative so this is as "Crafty as I get."

Monday Monday .....

Today the weather was in the 40's so Cathryn and I decided to stay in and bake cookies !!


Nothing beats a big spoonful of cookie dough

and a little helper !!!
