THANK YOU LORD FOR MY CHURCH AND CHURCH FAMILY!

JUST ME

JUST ME TONIGHT! JUST WANTED TO TELL A FEW THINGS ABOUT WHAT THE KIDS HAVE BEEN DOING AND SAYING HERE LATELY! CARTER'S NEW SAYING IS "I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF" AND JAYCIE'S IS "I'LL DO IT" AND "MINE". SHE WILL RUN UP TO ME AND PUT HER ARMS AROUND MY NECK AND SAY "MINE MOMMMA" SO OF COURSE THAT STARTS A FIGHT WITH CARTER AND HE SAYS "MY MOMMA FIRST".LOL..JAYCIE SAYS "BLESS YOU" AFTER SOMEONE SNEEZES OR AFTER SHE DOES...ITS THE CUTEST THING. I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT CARTER SAYS THE PRAYER BY HIMSELF EVERY TIME WE SIT DOWN FOR A MEAL. AND LIL MISS 18 MONTH OLD JAYCIE REMINDS US AS SOON AS WE SIT DOWN THAT WE NEED TO PRAY. SHE PUTS HER FINGERS OVER HER EYES. ITS SO SWEET! AT THE END OF THE PRAYER SHE SAYS "AMEN". I LOVE THAT WE HAVE INSTILLED THESE VALUES INTO OUR CHILDREN AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE!  CARTER SAYS YES MA'AM AND NO MA'AM AND YES SIR AND NO SIR. THANK YOU AND PLEASE GO WITHOUT ASKING MOST OF THE TIME!  THEY BOTH HAVE REALLY GREAT MANNERS AND I AM SO PROUD OF THEM! THE OTHER MORNING I OPENED UP THE BLINDS ALL AROUND THE HOUSE FIRST THING LIKE I ALWAYS DO IN THE MORNING AND CARTER WAS SITTING ON MY BED AND HE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND SAID "THANK YOU JESUS". I SAID WHAT DID YOU SAY THAT FOR AND HE SAID LOOK AT THOSE PRETTY TREES MOMMA. TOUCHED MY HEART! TEAR! 

THANK YOU LORD FOR OUR CHILDREN AND HELP US TO ALWAYS RAISE THEM IN A WAY THAT IS PLEASING TO YOU! 

THIS IS THE PRAYER WE SAID EVERY DAY FOR DINNER AS A KID SO THIS IS THE PRAYER I HAVE PASSED ON TO MY CHILDREN! WE ALSO ALWAYS HAD TO ASK TO BE EXCUSED FROM THE TABLE WHEN WE WERE FINISHED EATING AND SO DO OUR CHILDREN NOW! CARTER ALWAYS SAYS "CAN I BE EXCUSED PLEASE" AND SINCE HIS SISTER WANTS TO DO EVERYTHING HE DOES, SHE ALSO SAYS "EXCUSE PLEASE" 

GOD IS GREAT 

GOD IS GOOD

LET US THANK HIM FOR OUR FOOD

BY HIS HANDS

WE ALL ARE FED

 GIVE US LORD

OUR DAILY BREAD

AMEN

A FEW MORE

 JUST A FEW MORE PICTURES I GOT ON MY CAMERA OF THE KIDS PLAYING IN THE RAIN TODAY! ENJOY!

RAIN PUDDLES

 AS SOON AS CARTER SEES ITS RAINING HE WANTS TO GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY IN THE PUDDLES! ITS BEEN RAINING LIKE CRAZY HERE ALL MORNING. IT FINALLY QUIT AROUND LUNCH TIME SO AFTER LUNCH WE DECIDED TO GET OUR RAIN BOOTS AND RAIN JACKETS ON AND HEAD OUTSIDE TO PLAY IN THE PUDDLES! THE KIDS HAD A BALL AND WERE SOAKED FROM HEAD TO TOE WHEN WE GOT DONE BUT NOTHING A WARM BATH COULDN'T FIX!

 JAYCIE FELL IN THE HUGE PUDDLE ABOUT 5 TIMES! SHE WAS HAVING A BLAST THOUGH!

 MY FAVORITE PICTURE! YOU CAN JUST SEE THE HAPPINESS IN HER FACE!

 SO HAPPY!

PEEK A BOO!

THANK YOU AGAIN LORD FOR ALL THIS MUCH NEEDED RAIN THESE PAST FEW DAYS! WE HAVE REALLY ENJOYED IT! CARTER THANKS YOU TOO FOR THESE WONDERFUL PUDDLES YOU CREATED JUST FOR HIM!!!

 SO THE KIDS AND I DECIDED THAT WE BETTER GO AHEAD AND TRY THESE BAD BOYS OUT! AS YOU CAN SEE THEY LOVED THEM AND SO DID THEIR MOMMY! WE GOT A LIL MESSY BUT NOTHING A QUICK BATH COULDN'T FIX!

 ALL SMILES!

I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND BAG THE REST OF THESE CARAMEL APPLES UP AND WE ARE GOING TO DELIVER THEM TO SOME FAMILY TOMORROW!

HALLOWEEN TREATS

 ARENT THESE JUST SO CUTE? TODAY I DECIDED TO MAKE SOME CARAMEL APPLES FOR THE KIDS! I GOT THE IDEA FROM ONE OF THE FOOD NETWORK SHOWS. I LOVE THAT CHANNEL!

 FIRST I MELTED THE CARAMEL AND THEN DIPPED THE APPLES. I LET THOSE SIT AND DRY FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO. THEN I MELTED SOME CHOCOLATE CHIPS IN THE MICROWAVE AND THEN TOOK A FORK AND SPRINKLED THE CHOCOLATE AROUND THE APPLES. I THEN PUT SPRINKLES ON THEM! THEY TURNED OUT SO CUTE! JUST LIKE I PLANNED! NOW THAT I HAVE KIDS, MAKING CUTE STUFF LIKE THIS IS A LOT OF FUN! IM REALLY GETTING INTO THIS KIND OF STUFF!

 CANT WAIT TO EAT THESE YUMMY TREATS!

AND OF COURSE IVE BEEN MAKING TONS OF THESE BABIES! I THINK IVE ALREADY MADE AROUND 20 + DOZEN OF THESE CANDY CORN HERSHEY KISS COOKIES! THEY ARE SOME KIND OF GOOD!

THANK YOU LORD FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE A STAY AT HOME MOM! ITS REALLY A WONDERFUL BLESSING THAT I DON'T TAKE FOR GRANITE FOR ONE SECOND!

TRICK OR TROT

 LAST NIGHT WAS TRICK OR TROT AT THE RIDING CLUB. THEY HAD A FUN SHOW AND HAD A COSTUME CONTEST AND ALL THE KIDS GOT TO GO AROUND AND GET CANDY FROM EVERYONE'S HORSE TRAILERS. IT WAS FUN! CARTER WON 5TH PLACE IN THE COSTUME CONTEST BUT I KNOW THAT MY KIDS WERE DEFINITELY THE CUTEST THERE! THERE WERE TONS OF PEOPLE TO COME UP TO ME AND TELL ME THEY SHOULD HAVE WON! DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS UP WITH THOSE JUDGES! UGH! ANYWAY, WE HAD FUN SO THAT'S ALL THE MATTERS!

OH AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE BROTHER IN LAW SHELTON TODAY! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT ONE! 

HERES ONE OF MY FAVORITE HYMN'S! I REMEMBER SINGING THIS SONG IN MY GRANDMOTHERS CHURCH ALL THE TIME AS A CHILD!

"TO GOD BE THE GLORY"

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.
