Here you go, Laura....

So, Laura did this Honest Blog thingy and linked me. I, am not blog savvy at ALL. So, I'll list 10 things, but I won't even attempt to do the cute pic or links---major damage may occur.

Anyway--here is some honest info. about me:

1. My mom had to tell me that Santa was not "real" in the sixth grade. Thank God she told me b/c Kris would sure be a busy, stressful man on Christmas Eve.

2. I will NOT use public restrooms unless it's an emergency. Nasty, Yuck, Gross!!!!! I NEVER used the restroom when I was in school. (K-12) Held it all day. Bad, I know.

3. I watch soap operas--The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives. Yes, people make fun of me, but I don't care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. When I was little I always told my mom and dad that I wanted to be married so I wouldn't have to sleep by myself. I was scared to be alone in my room---mainly because of the things Kevin would do to scare me. TERD!!!!!!!!!!!

5. I will not eat in a Chinese restaurant. They freak me out. I'll only do take-out. I also will not eat from a buffet--yucky.

6. I ran up a HUGE phone bill when I was five because I kept calling the Easter Bunny.

7. I want to learn how to make soldered charms--I'm doing research on it right now, so maybe by summer I can start.

8. I LOVE scary movies. The scarier, the better.

9. Kris and I sponsor a child through Christian Children's Fund. Her name is Maria and she is six years old. She is absolutely precious.

10. I didn't pump a tank of gas in my car until I was 24. Dad or Kris always did it for me. But, when I was commuting from Conroe to Navasota I had to learn to do it.

Just checkin' my "me-mail" mom!!

Here's sweet little Emily chilling in my chair with MY computer. And, NO, she did not have permission!!!!!!!!!! When I came into the living room and saw her with my computer I said, "Emily--what are you doing?" She just grinned, not looking up from the computer, and said, "I'm checkin' my "me-mail." I couldn't do anything but laugh. Gracie used to say the same thing when she was small. I took a few pics of Emily and then took my computer away from the toot. (Please ignore how dirty her face is. She had just gotten through eating lunch. I promise that I do bathe my children!!)

Teach me Grandpa


I love this pic of my dad showing Emily how to use the shovel. Too sweet!

Like father, like daughter...




I walked into the living room tonight and found Kris and Gracie engulfed in their games. Notice Kris' headphones---hilarious!!!! They both take the gaming thing very serious.

Itsy Bitsy Spider


Emily found her a partner at Grandma's (cousin Jacob) to do the Itsy Bitsy Spider with. So cute!! Emily loves Jacob. We went to my mom's house yesterday, and the first thing she said when she walked in the door was, "Where's Jacob?"


Can I cry now?????????????




I was going through some pics of Gracie this morning. I came across one of her and her cousin Beth from about a year and a half ago. Then I was looking at one taken at mom's house the other day. They are not babies anymore. Gracie and Beth are now two very precious girls. I'm so excited to see them grow into young ladies, but it does sadden me a bit that they are no longer baby girls.
