How 'Bout them Cowboys!

My Cowboys took care of the Packers last night 37-27 and now are 11-1 and in the Playoffs! Way to go!

Run Yourself Ragged

I hope this is not how any of you feel after the long holiday weekend! Do any of you remember this game? While John helped Shon bring down all the Christmas decorations he saw once again Shon's games from his childhood. (My husband is a pack rat!!!) He just had to have this game brought down so he could try it. He's actually asked before, when we moved he saw all of Shon's games and wanted to play with it then. Shon probably wasn't ready to pass them down then....he's pretty, shall we say protective of his things. Anyway, John proceeded to play with this game for a solid hour. It was so interesting to watch him and his little mind work. Shon said he was exactly the same way, he'd play with it for hours when he was a kid. Like father like son...

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. We took Alex to see his first movie. The Bee Movie. He LOVED it, they both did. When we sat down and he looked at the screen he said 'That's a really big movie, Moma!" It was so adorable. He just sat and stared amazed the entire time. Great times!!!

Happy Birthday, Trey!

My precious nephew is 2 today. If you don't beleive in miracles just look at this beautiful little boy and there you will see our little miracle. I just can't beleive that it's been 2 years since he was born and had his heart surgery. He had a blast at his birthday party yesterday. He's not feeilng so well today though... say a little prayer that he feels better very soon.

I love you, little buddy. You are a joy to me and my family. I thank God for you and how he has already worked in your little life. Happy Birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHON

Happy Birthday, to my sweetie! You are such a kind, sensitive, loving husband, father, son, brother and friend. Do you realize we have now celebrated more birthdays together than we have apart? I hope you have a wonderful day!! I'm so blessed to have you in my life and thank God for you every day!

LOCK DOWN

On the way to school one morning last week John told me a story that really made me sad. It almost made me cry. He said, "I guess you remember how to do a lock down practice?" I said no I don't think we did those when I was in school. He said, "It's when they close all the blinds in our room, turn off the lights, lock our door and we all get on the floor and cover our heads. In case there is a bad man, like someone who would rob a bank or shoot people comes to our school." My heart just dropped. I said, "oh, have you practiced this yet or are you going to?" He said, "We've already practiced it. I sure hope that never happens." I said, "Yeah, me too." It's hard to believe that we've come to a place in the world where we have to practice these kind of drills in Six Mile. Don't get me wrong I'm sure glad they do practice them but it still makes me sad...and it makes me feel for the parents who have lost their kids in school shootings.

Costumes

Here are the boys in their costumes. John is Peter from Chronicles of Narnia and Alex is a pirate. We took them to the Fall Festival at First Baptist Church in Pickens. They had a blast!
