Y'all, it is daily that my people say things to make me laugh. Sometimes, it is just using the wrong word or phrase in a sentence. Other times, it is something outright funny. This is a collection of some of those things. On our recent hike to Bankhead, we crossed over a small creek. ...
The “Big Tree” Hiking Fail
Take note of that sling Jase is wrapped in--it's going to be important later. And those closed eyes are Libby's new picture thing--she does it in every single picture she takes, unless I fuss. The struggle is real, y'all. If you aren't from around these parts (as in, North Alabama), you may ...
A Little Old Update
First, some business. If you follow me on social media, you know I started back to work this week. (You also know how badly I hate leaving my sweet boy, so I'll save my whining.) I've been trying to post regularly on here for the past several months and I'm still going to try to do that, my posts ...
Easter Celebrations
We started out our Easter weekend with an egg hunt at church. Each year, TBC hosts an Easter Extravaganza with blow-ups, food, and several hundred eggs. It's tons of fun. The weather was great and we spent the entire afternoon just hanging out at church, fellowshipping with our ...
That’s What She Said, Libby Edition
If you know my Libby at all, you know she has a flair for drama. And, God love her, she says hilarious things EVERY SINGLE DAY and doesn't even know they are funny. At the risk of her future embarrassment, here are just a few giggle-worthy conversations. Kyndall came running in the bathroom ...
AWANA Grand Prix
Each year during AWANA, our church has a Grand Prix car race. Each child takes home a car to design and decorate. The cars have to be sanded.... And then painted. And decorated to their hearts content. This year, Kyndall wanted an Olaf car and Libby wanted a princess car. They were ...
Currently
For the last week and a half, the girls have been delayed or out of school every single day due to inclement weather. For those of us in the south, that means the temperature is below freezing. I know it sounds crazy to those of you who operate in these conditions all winter long, but us southerners ...
Lately
We have been doing a whole lot of nothing around here lately and it has been absolutely wonderful. Basketball is over and between bed rest and a new baby and the freezing temperatures outside, we do not leave this house. Well, the girls leave to go to school, but that's about it. You know ...
Jase Allen: A birth story, part 2
If you missed part 1 of Jase's birth story, click here. I delivered at Madison Hospital, which is a relatively new, smaller hospital in our area. They were super laid back, but completely experienced. While other hospitals are very strict about procedures and the amount of visitors, Madison ...
Disney On Ice, 2014
Our school took its second-annual, school-wide, Disney on Ice field trip last Friday. It is such a fun trip and I love that we load all 600 students and faculty up to go. (How about that big belly crammed into that little tshirt in the above photo? Ha!)The girls would enjoy just riding ...
A First Grade Program
Last week, Libby participated in her first grade program at school. She memorized her part so well and even got to dress as an Indian. (Native American for you politically correct folks.)All of first grade lined up on the makeshift stage and told the story of the first Thanksgiving. ...
The Weekend Lens
We had a friend-filled weekend, and this mama has been looking forward to Monday to catch up on my rest :)On Friday night, Justin took Kyndall hunting with a friend and his daughter. They spent the night a few hours away from home. Lots of fun, but no luck with the hunting.With them ...
