JAYCIE'S BIRTHDAY

JAYCIE TURNED ONE ON MARCH 25TH! WE HAD HER A SMALL BIRTHDAY PARTY THAT THURSDAY FOR JUST THE FAMILY AND THEN ON SATURDAY WE HAD A BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY! I THINK WE HAD AROUND 50 PEOPLE IN OUR HOUSE THAT DAY! A LIL STRESSFUL BUT WE MADE IT WORK AND IT TURNED OUT TO A REALLY FUN TIME! WE GOT OUT THE JUMPING THING AND THE KIDS PLAYED ON THAT AND THE SWING SET OUTSIDE! WE HAD CAKE AND ICE CREAM, FRUIT AND VEGGIE TRAYS AND PIZZAS! YUMMY! JAYCIE DID NOT HESITATE TO DIG INTO HER CAKE! SHE HAD IT ALL OVER HER! IT WAS SO FUNNY! MY UNCLES GIRL FRIEND MADE HER CAKE FOR US AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR ANYTHING BETTER! MY DAD BUILT JAYCIE A HUGE TOY BOX LIKE THE ONE HE MADE FOR CARTER FOR CHRISTMAS. MY MOM GOT HER AND CARTER A SAND BOX!! HER OTHER GRANDMOTHER GOT HER THE LION RIDING TOY AND ABOUT 5 OTHER GIFTS PLUS SENT HER 3 PINK ROSES! SO ADORABLE! GENE AND I GOT HER A KITCHEN SET THAT I THINK CARTER LIKES PLAYING WITH MORE THAN HER! LOL. SHE GOT SO MANY NICE GIFTS FROM EVERYONE! THANK YOU EVERYONE THAT CAME AND MADE JAYCIE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY A BEAUTIFUL ONE! WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH GREAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

JAYCIE'S COOKIES THAT WE HANDED OUT AS PARTY FAVORS! SO ADORABLE!

GOD IS SO GOOD!

THIS IS THE BIBLE VERSE THAT HAS GOTTEN ME THROUGH THE WEEK!

BUT SEEK FIRST HIS KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU AS WELL. THEREFORE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF. EACH DAY HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE OF ITS OWN. 

MATTHEW 6: 33-34

FISHING

GENE WENT TO SARDIS THE OTHER DAY FISHING WITH A FRIEND OF HIS! THEY HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME! IM SO GLAD DAVID DECIDED TO GO CUZ IF NOT I WAS GOING AND I THINK ITS A LIL TOO COLD STILL FOR ME TO BE OUT IN THAT BOAT FREEZING MY BUTT OFF! I DONT KNOW WHY MY HUSBAND LIKES ME TO GO WHEN ALL I DO IS WRAP UP IN A BLANKET AND LAY ON THE SEATS AND COMPLAIN THAT I NEED TO GO PEE! LOL ! HE LOVES ME THOUGH AND WE DO ENJOY OUR TIME TOGETHER! BUT ANYWAY, GENE CAUGHT 8 FISH THE OTHER DAY AND BROUGHT THEM HOME FOR CARTER TO SEE! CARTER LOVED THEM, HE WAS EVEN TOUCHING THEIR EYES AND PUTTING GUMMY'S IN THEIR MOUTHS! IT WAS SO FUNNY! CARTER IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE DADDY'S FISHING BUDDY IN A COUPLE YEARS! ITS A PASSION ALREADY FOR HIM!

EASTER PICTURES

OKAY SO WE WENT TO GET EASTER PICTURES MADE WITH EPC YESTERDAY AND WELL, MY "QUEEN" CRIED EVERY TIME I WOULD PUT HER DOWN TO TAKE A PICTURE! FIRST OFF SHE IS A "QUEEN" AND LOVES HER MOMMY AND DOESN'T LIKE TOO MANY STRANGERS BUT SECOND, EPC HAD 3 OTHER GIRLS HELPING HER IN THIS VERY SMALL SPACE IN HER FRONT YARD SURROUNDED BY BUSHES AND I THINK ALL THOSE PEOPLE SURROUNDING HER AT ONE TIME FREAKED HER OUT!!! IT WOULD HAVE FREAKED ME OUT TOO! IT WAS NOT A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE AND I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME! BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE I GUESS, WE GOT A GOOD PICTURE OF CARTER WITH A REAL BUNNY! HE DID GREAT! TOO BAD I SPENT ALL THAT MONEY AND DIDN'T EVEN GET ONE OF THEM TOGETHER! OH WELL! THESE ARE A FEW PICTURES I GOT OF MY DARLING BABIES! I'M HOPING TO GET SOME MORE OF THEM NEXT WEEK IN THESE OUTFITS AT OUR CHURCH EASTER EGG HUNT! ENJOY! 

ZOO TIME

FRIDAY WAS THE PERFECT DAY TO GO TO THE ZOO! IT WAS 70 DEGREE WEATHER AND THE SUN WAS SHINING!!! IT WAS JUST GORGEOUS!!! EVERYONE ELSE IN THE MEMPHIS AREA HAD THE SAME IDEA AS US THOUGH BECAUSE THERE WAS HALF A MILLION PEOPLE AT THE ZOO WITH US! I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT THAT CROWDED BEFORE! WE STILL HAD A GREAT TIME! THE KIDS REALLY ENJOYED IT! THEY ARE AT THE AGE WHERE THEY ARE AMAZED!!! CARTER WALKED MOST OF THE TIME WITH GRAMS AND AUNT E AND JAYCIE RODE IN THE WAGON! THIS WAS OUR FIRST TRIP OF MANY TO COME THIS YEAR!!! ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER TRIP PLANNED FOR NEXT FRIDAY WITH SOME FAMILY COMING IN FROM OUT OF TOWN! WE LOVE THE ZOO!!! HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES FROM OUR DAY! ENJOY!!!

CARTER PULLED JAYCIE FOR A LONG TIME! THEY BOTH LOVED IT! HE'S SO SWEET TO HIS SISTER!! 

JAYCIE WAS VERY TIRED BY THE END! SO SWEET! 

CANT WAIT TO GO BACK! GOD IS GOOD!
