My baby is 14!

Man where has the time gone? My son turned 14 last week! Man has he really grown into a fine young man. He towers over me at 5'8 WOW and I know he's not through growing yet! He love watching him on the football & baseball field doing what he loves. I just know he'll make it big!

I Love you Trey!

Taylor's 8th grade dance dress!

Seeing that I'm in the process of updating everything. This is my middle daughter's 8th grade dance dress. She looked so B-E-A-UTIFUL!! Her sister did her hair & her nails had music notes on them. She LOVES choir, she wants to go to school to become a choir teacher.

Hugs, Leah

Gonna finally UPDATE!!

I have been so busy with every day life, but I know that is no reason to not to blog about what is going on in my life.
I have decided to go back to school! I figured I didn't have enough on my plate with 3 teenagers, a husband, and a full time job....why not start school! LOL And I figured why not change your career while your at it too! I'm a receptionist for right now, but I'm going to school to become a RN. When I was growing up my aunt (who helped my dad raise me) was a X-Ray Tech and I always wanted to follow in her footsteps. But, when she became ill a few years ago, I got to know the nurses that helped take care of her and how they treated her like she was their own aunt. My life will never be the same after meeting them. So, when she passed away I really started thinking hard about going back to school. My husband and I talked and prayed about it. How could I possible thank her for all the things she helped me with, provided me with, the love she showed me? The only answer I could come up with was to go back to school. No, I'm not doing this just for her, but I'm also doing it for my family and most importantly I'm doing it for myself!
So that's what I have been up to. I have so much to catch up on. I promise another entry with pics.
Hugs, Leah

UPDAT!! ON th Grade Dance!!

Well like I said I took my daughter & her friends shopping this past weekend! We found a great dress at JC Penny's for a great price as well! I think it looks absolutelybeautiful!! The color really brings out her eyes!! We will take better pics. next Fri., but this is what I have for now!

Dress shopping with teenagers!!

Well, I get the privilege of taken my daughter & her best friends to the mall!! How do I get suckered into these things?? LOL I'm just kidding. I love spending time with ALL of them. They are looking for their 8th Grade Dance dresses. They want to get the same dress. Who knew my daughter would be in a click?? Reminds me so much of myself!! I have been taking her to the mall for about a month now looking for this dress. Maybe her friends can help.

We found this dress last weekend. I will try to take more pics. of this fun adventure this weekend.

First time for everything!! Went camping!!

I had a blast this past weekend!! Even in the rain! My husband & I went camping with our bestfriends. We packed everything up & headed to Lake Summervile. It was absolutely breath taking! (of what we could see!)
Friday it rained for the first part of the day, but then it cleared up about 4:30pm so Anthony (my husband) & Joe got the fire box & the grill going. While we waited for the grill to get hot we played washers. We had T-bones, grilled veggies & some awesome green beans that I was eating like it was popcorn (it was so GOOD!!) Then we played Farkel (spelling) (it's a dice game) & Phase 10 (card game).
We woke up pretty early to rain. So we couldn't fix breakfast like the guys wanted to, so we just went to a little Cafe' (The Windmill) It was GREAT!! Then we drove around looking at the sights & then we got the PHONE CALL! It was pouring down in Houston. Our friends house was getting flooded! They had left their teenagers home (16 & 13) alone. Megan poor thing she's 16 & she was hysterical she didn't know what to do. But, then everything just kinda calmed down & they were OK. We were gonna cut our trip short, but then we were told that they had closed down all the Freeways so we would have been stranded anyway.
So, that evening it was mine & my husbands turn to cook dinner. We had gotten some stuffed chickens. They were DELICIOUS!!! One with dirty rice the other with cornbread dressing and we cooked veggies as well. Who said you had to have hotdogs & hamburgers while camping!
It finally cleared up & we went on for a walk. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! That night we were able to see stars in the sky what a breat takin adventure I had this past weekend!!
I just thank God for all HE is done & is doing in my life!!

OH MY! OH MY!! I have failed this blog!!

I have been unbelievably busy! Doing what you ask? Absolutely nothing! I can't ever get on, due to my husband always been on the home computer & being busy at work, just can't ever find the time to post.
Allot has really been going on. My son broke his foot. He has been playing football for 5yrs, he goes to school & starts playing football he turns the wrong way & snap he brakes his growth-plate. Not good, but the Dr. says he should heal properly & should be able to continue t play!!
My oldest daughter is diving my crazy wanting to date & wanting to go everywhere with her best friend. (BOY!! I remember those days!) She thinks we have all the money in he world! What is with teenagers?
My middle daughter's (supposedly) friends keep spreading friends about themselves! That they are pregnant!! WHAT THE HECK??? Who does that?? We are talking about 7th graders 12-13 year old wanting to have babies. My daughter has dropped those friends on her own!! GOOD FOR HER!! I was very proud of her for doing that!! Stepping up for what she believes in!!
I know the Lord is working in my life in mysterious ways!!
