3 Years Ago Today....

I lost my mom, my best friend! and Heaven gained an Angel! Pray for me today that I can be strong. I have a lot in life to be thankful for, and I am very thankful every day for my many blessings. This morning, as I was headed to take Kaden to school, the song "I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe was playing on the radio. My cousin Tim sang this song at my mama's funeral. I have only heard the song maybe twice since then (and I turn it without listening to it every time). So, this morning, I felt like that was her way of saying "I'm still here!" Needless to say, I can't type this without tearing up, and I can't listen to that song without crying, but I know she's in a better place. A far better place than we are in. I want to live the longest life I can, but I am so thrilled that I will be able to see my mama again one day! Praise God!

Just Catching Up.....

I haven't blogged in a while, so it's time to catch up. Granny's home and doing great. She started her first round of chemotherapy yesterday. She's very optimistic, which is half of the battle. The boys finished up basketball for this season. They played with Covenant United Methodist Church. Of course, the team consisted of mostly friends, i.e. Troy and Trey.





This weekend was jam-packed with birthday parties. We went to one Friday night, two Saturday, and one Sunday. One was for Troy, but we went out to eat with him on Monday night to acknowledge his "actual" birthday. Here are the wild boys at Logan's:

And these are their silly faces:

Notice the wood slats behind them? This is known as the "cow pen" to me, Tracy H, and Melissa. This is the table we prefer to get at Logan's so we can trap the boys!

Oh, and I colored my hair brown this weekend. I haven't decided if I like it or not. But, I think I do.

But why is it that if you have a gray hair, it is gonna stick straight up?!

And, this is just a cute picture of Kaden this morning, on the way to school, wearing the glasses his daddy wore as Magnum P.I. at Halloween.

I hope all is well with all of you!!
