God is Good!!!!

I am not sure if anyone has seen this already, but I wanted to post it just in case!! This is a song that Sarah Evans and Brad Paisley have recorded about how Christ was crucified. I really am truly amazed!! Sometimes you really need to stop and think what was given up so that we may live. I wish you and your family a restful, peaceful and safe holiday season!!
*** make sure you have your volume up.

Hey, I know that it has been a long time. There has not been to much going on in small town USA. We had a great Thanksgiving and we are preparing our house for Christmas. We have been reading Christmas books at bedtime and our favorite right now is The ELf on the Shelf. This is a great book. It is written by a mother and daughter about an elf that sits on your shelf and every night he flies away to report to Santa on whether you have been good or bad. . Then in the morning he comes back but he is in a different spot and you must try to find him. Also, you can't touch him ( wink wink) It has been fun watching Emma Grace and Jack, mostly Emma Grace looking for him in the morning. Also, you can go on the web site and register your elf after your name him. It has also cut down on the word NO at our house. HAHA!! If you haven't seen this book you really must get it. The mother and daughter started this tradition at their house. This is the web site: www.elfontheshelf.com
I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season and the REAL Meaning of Christmas!!!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY JAKE !!!

My daddy(papaw) cannot do anything without Jake right underneath him!

Of course, my daddy loves it!!

I thought that his cake was very cute

Jake and His cousins. Gatling is on the left and Gauge on the Right

Yesterday we had Jake's 2nd party on the farm. We had a John deere tractor party (of course). We had a great time. We cooked hot dogs, went on a hay ride. The best part was the dirt pile. I had bought some little tractors to put in the dirt pile and the kids had a blast Very cheap entertainment!!! I don't have any picture of present time, because with the time changing it started to get dark when we were eating cake and ice cream, so we opened them at home. We know have every tractor that they probably make. He loved everything!! the cake was my favorite I thought that is was so cute and it is very good. The lady has done the last 3 cakes that I have needed and I have loved them. Emma Grace's 4th cake she made it into a castle. Soooo Cute. Jake actually turns two on Wednesday and then we do it all again this Saturday for my sister's twin boys. The are having a tonka truck party. Have a great week. I just had to show the princess castle cake!!

Cute right?

Scooby,Dooby, DOO!!!!!

Emma Grace's wig had already come off and it is just sitting on her head!!

O.K. So it has been a very long time since my last post. Things have been crazy with Will picking Cotton which means I get very little if any help during this time of the year. Makes for very long days. Also, two weeks ago Emma Grace got the stomach virus and the 4 days later I got it and then the day after I got it Will got it. I think the only plus is that Jake did not get it and I got sick at a good time( if there is every a good time0 but it had rained for about 3 days which meant will had the kids for 2 days in the house. Will being in the house longer than 3 hrs about kills him so you can imagine that he was going stir crazy.
Of course, I am thinking you are only getting a taste of what Stay at home moms do everyday. But really, He works extremely hard and I would not be able to SAH with my kids if not for that.
Well, I hope everyone had a safe Halloween. Emma Grace was Daphne and Jake was Scooby Doo. I thought they were soooooo cute. We had a great time. You know you are from the south when your father-in-law hitches a trailer loaded with hay to the polaris and we trick or treat around town. Forget walking with 2 kids and making sure they don't get run over. We had a great time. Jake would say trick or treat about halfway up the driveway and then get to the door with sucker in mouth and say "BAG". He just want the Goods. We have candy for days.
It is a good thing that Jake's 2nd Birthday party is Sunday because all the kids will be getting tons of candy in their goody bags. Well, I guess that is about it. Promise to do better about blogging. Take Care!!!!
*** Blogger won't let me upload picture so I will try again later***
