Preston Jeffrey Cantrell was born on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at 6:50A.M. Quite a little man weighing in at 8lbs 15oz. and 21 inches long. He is SO beautiful! His daddy told me it was fine to use the term beautiful for a newborn boy, and I can't think of another word to describe him. Handsome just doesn't fit the bill here. <br />Wade, Hayden, and I were able to spend a few hours with them yesterday evening. What a special time. I held him for a long time until I was forced to share with Hayden, but she did give him back to me when he started to cry. Nothing a diaper change wouldn't cure. And then I held him a good bit longer until he was hungry...nothing I can do for him there, so I had to turn him over to his mommy. Of course, this gave me some time to spend with Kate. She loves being outside, so we went out and played as much as we could, considering it was already dark. We played chase, rode on her 4-wheeler, examined moths, and played with the Halloween decorations. I love hearing her laugh. She is such a sweetheart.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQq_WUOn5mM0iCs66eYafOuBBjkR_iuiEyaOUX27eR_DYoGKB-ET9sw7WVJ6iN0bWVf7hlY6QQSszN-jLoczJSC7raksnUmFfsxfz9jVfSUtHgKUc89-RjwQJtETxw6lHhKeR8vCaiLdQ/s1600/First+Visit+with+Preston+012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQq_WUOn5mM0iCs66eYafOuBBjkR_iuiEyaOUX27eR_DYoGKB-ET9sw7WVJ6iN0bWVf7hlY6QQSszN-jLoczJSC7raksnUmFfsxfz9jVfSUtHgKUc89-RjwQJtETxw6lHhKeR8vCaiLdQ/s400/First+Visit+with+Preston+012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529515122901819314" /></a> Kate playing a tune for us, much to Bandit's disapproval!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAvsiWXUBumJGlYO0pP5xHGpvhwawsTegaxuWI6bAd8i5VnKL6alnVwl5m-DY0llz5jzy9EpnnH79V1fbE-5-fqbuRJJ2L62R5o99RLK6orHqNSEgsCGJ5OsnnwzquRjUJIdSms45rOj4/s1600/First+Visit+with+Preston+011.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAvsiWXUBumJGlYO0pP5xHGpvhwawsTegaxuWI6bAd8i5VnKL6alnVwl5m-DY0llz5jzy9EpnnH79V1fbE-5-fqbuRJJ2L62R5o99RLK6orHqNSEgsCGJ5OsnnwzquRjUJIdSms45rOj4/s400/First+Visit+with+Preston+011.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529515119564047762" /></a> Hayden getting in some Preston time!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0PRQy5JeKprYETh7vokMLLFmc_YTagcUF6gTvoDl7iAYNJkRJ5srC1Zjl2jZZFEKtV7grebQMx95xmc91U3Rfw_-sc01S_0O7ACsapmTAvlxLSUwdBR4Odfj8D9WQoBHXhm18knWhQdo/s1600/First+Visit+with+Preston+013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0PRQy5JeKprYETh7vokMLLFmc_YTagcUF6gTvoDl7iAYNJkRJ5srC1Zjl2jZZFEKtV7grebQMx95xmc91U3Rfw_-sc01S_0O7ACsapmTAvlxLSUwdBR4Odfj8D9WQoBHXhm18knWhQdo/s400/First+Visit+with+Preston+013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529515117353002338" /></a> Proud Papa<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGikVEnDhGI1rrBG2XCc0ZMbEjkamsQuzqVKRMDICi7OjUxDHknEyY9FH_jJ9ObebkTFSl3M6ALlYhLBSfDpRO56YksOerd7HrLnusDAdAlBi41FTyJO7ZRh5_ZlhjACudjAmdzQPBidI/s1600/First+Visit+with+Preston+019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGikVEnDhGI1rrBG2XCc0ZMbEjkamsQuzqVKRMDICi7OjUxDHknEyY9FH_jJ9ObebkTFSl3M6ALlYhLBSfDpRO56YksOerd7HrLnusDAdAlBi41FTyJO7ZRh5_ZlhjACudjAmdzQPBidI/s400/First+Visit+with+Preston+019.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529515106808462658" /></a> Amanda, Kate and her favorite snack...Puffs.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIa6cBWlMsBKTxUbvm_MnFDyJmoweRU1PFg4Hm61jMN2Ij12q_pwDsyyuDBDOodoZLNbBjSO1CUwi9bCqAUu3zmgPwxiDGzbCe6JhuIDJlPQRSv9W1pPyrPAmjxVx5p2FK8eVfFMUbfOo/s1600/First+Visit+with+Preston+024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIa6cBWlMsBKTxUbvm_MnFDyJmoweRU1PFg4Hm61jMN2Ij12q_pwDsyyuDBDOodoZLNbBjSO1CUwi9bCqAUu3zmgPwxiDGzbCe6JhuIDJlPQRSv9W1pPyrPAmjxVx5p2FK8eVfFMUbfOo/s400/First+Visit+with+Preston+024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529515101439332946" /></a> Me being selfish with Preston!<br /><br />Both Kate and Preston are beautiful, and such little angels.

And of course, we didn't forget Miss Kate. She was showered, as well. Luke and Amanda were so kind to allow the 10 of us to barge in and take over their house for a few hours. We had a great afternoon. It made my day when Kate reached to me from her Daddy, and again when she cried as we left. Not because she cried, but because she recognizes us now and seems to enjoy our time together. She is such a beautiful angel. I love her personality. Such a sassy little one. She oooed and aaahed over all the gifts, but cracked me up when Amanda opened a personalized wipe case I made for Preston. She opened her mouth and gasped as if she were so hurt because I made a gift for someone besides her. It might take a little while for her to adjust to a new baby in the family, but she will be such a wonderful big sis. I just can't wait to meet Preston! Hayden is afraid she won't be able to love Preston as much as Kate...but this is the same Hayden that was initially jealous of Kate.

Such a poor blogger. Oh well, lets talk about what has kept us busy this summer. I spent the last few weeks of June painting farm animals and fruit and vegetables for VBS scenery.<br /> Our youth group left July 10th for Hamlet, NC. I tagged along as a chaperone. We knocked doors, sang and put on puppet shows for local daycares, sang at a nursing home, and put on a 4 night VBS. We met so many wonderful people. It was a great mission trip, and I feel so blessed to have been a part of it. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEs6JPmebeKBedqJMln7bdnTwEGB1xU9W5lyB11gHF3yi8EFzc6_DaNtGGM9YkX8RJbGBAzzCwyNz9IbBH8Qk9ihQU6zvM_ewty0Uf3b3EWSHXf0NxTftWHqIbQk0ZvlLgDrP1kLNlFI/s1600/hamlet.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEs6JPmebeKBedqJMln7bdnTwEGB1xU9W5lyB11gHF3yi8EFzc6_DaNtGGM9YkX8RJbGBAzzCwyNz9IbBH8Qk9ihQU6zvM_ewty0Uf3b3EWSHXf0NxTftWHqIbQk0ZvlLgDrP1kLNlFI/s400/hamlet.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515836124492817554" /></a>Singing and puppet shows.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5EA8d_3zxYPFCjHLX5bQ6sQKpw3QsmsGEaLRcIj904iQW8MQmTFdwEBm576K676RRf-YAx2r-2s2yCN-2hpIIVwtYqyWZCgFUYwwXkj1HEviDWmleaTzztjihFch8umDFIwLI1P1OaOo/s1600/youth+Group.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5EA8d_3zxYPFCjHLX5bQ6sQKpw3QsmsGEaLRcIj904iQW8MQmTFdwEBm576K676RRf-YAx2r-2s2yCN-2hpIIVwtYqyWZCgFUYwwXkj1HEviDWmleaTzztjihFch8umDFIwLI1P1OaOo/s400/youth+Group.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515834081924252562" /></a>Visiting a training center for Special Forces.

I have been super busy so far, but enjoying every minute of it. So far, I have sewn....ALOT, spent Memorial Day with family, visited the Cantrells and Memphis Zoo, took a quilting class, deep cleaned my house, and took one completely lazy, do-nothing day.<br /> <br />Hayden and I went to visit with Luke, Amanda, and Kate. We visited a while and went to the zoo. Hayden claims this was her first trip to the zoo. I think she went as a small child and doesn't remember it. Kate is too funny. She makes the most precious faces and when she walks, she completely stops when she comes to a different surface. You can tell she isn't sure about it and needs someones approval. She is a little angel. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHXeBShvRxj5xNwQckymLptYZZN9Z2ZYMOGiQ0Ae4RJCwuyQPuI4lbuvDVS0BRVfMKGJZN127QiKV1Dcb1XxUGR5uPxl7FP0TCYtHCvgj_zfzHqbGvv4PDVTT4gsPjynoY1IPrDzO7WPE/s1600/Zoo+with+Kate+034.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHXeBShvRxj5xNwQckymLptYZZN9Z2ZYMOGiQ0Ae4RJCwuyQPuI4lbuvDVS0BRVfMKGJZN127QiKV1Dcb1XxUGR5uPxl7FP0TCYtHCvgj_zfzHqbGvv4PDVTT4gsPjynoY1IPrDzO7WPE/s400/Zoo+with+Kate+034.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481326974561046690" /></a><br />She has Hayden wrapped around her little finger...who am I kidding...she has all of us wrapped around her little finger.

I can't believe we are 19 school days away from completing another school year. So many of those days will be filled with field days, finals, and fun times that they will pass even faster. I AM ready for summer break. I AM NOT ready for Hayden to be a senior. Seems like yesterday I was carrying her to preschool with her Mickey/Minnie backpack. Turn around and she is grown. Because I don't want to start crying already, again, I will change the subject.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUaCEsU1NGi-mEStTgF7ACqbo4rkpgUnUtRZGHwR8zXg3QyUx6ubKxeNZDIznFaB75R4mYPBv4gsZ-MVAJ0lPz6g3Ol6IvxQsWDKR-8ox9EGFkM5P-TSBxMibUmHnkUeEAl-vwONk3QSY/s1600/Hayden%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUaCEsU1NGi-mEStTgF7ACqbo4rkpgUnUtRZGHwR8zXg3QyUx6ubKxeNZDIznFaB75R4mYPBv4gsZ-MVAJ0lPz6g3Ol6IvxQsWDKR-8ox9EGFkM5P-TSBxMibUmHnkUeEAl-vwONk3QSY/s400/Hayden%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465704005867733362" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7uDjx85FnUgZFGN3a6J9OacVRWdSGxDyg9Rcm-zUNYxFA6BWxFMkUEy-Xmr94UrHY1IVtbByL0HOcLkPiPAI_TdoB5IeCHFFkwa5IDx8C0I4NZloJN6H48GTKQnzGpDHtMZjSDfZ6THw/s1600/DSC_0030%5B1%5D.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 155px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7uDjx85FnUgZFGN3a6J9OacVRWdSGxDyg9Rcm-zUNYxFA6BWxFMkUEy-Xmr94UrHY1IVtbByL0HOcLkPiPAI_TdoB5IeCHFFkwa5IDx8C0I4NZloJN6H48GTKQnzGpDHtMZjSDfZ6THw/s400/DSC_0030%5B1%5D.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465704011013377794" /></a><br /><br />Little did I know that posting a few pictures of embroidery projects and patterns on Facebook would give such a boost to my sewing business/hobby.

Wade and Hayden say I should learn to say "No". That doesn't come easy for me, especially when friends are involved. Maybe when school is out I can sew/smock/embroidery/applique for Kate, and her new little sibling. As soon as we find out baby Cantrell's sex, I am ready to start outfits for him/her. Oh how my brain is turning with ideas. I'll certainly have to make some matching outfits. Yay!!! Can't wait!!!<br /><br />Wade's niece, Whitney is also expecting her first baby in December. I want to make some special little outfits for baby Skellie, as well.<br /><br />Babies Galore...What Fun!!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85746/sherrie22/d6433be9df7445f509528bf42bdaa6bc.png" border="0" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986282083638008615.post-2001214173050747232010-03-21T17:00:00.003-05:002010-03-21T17:19:03.335-05:00Long Time, No PostWell, it has been about two and a half months since my last post. I would like to say I have been taking it easy and just haven't spent much time on the computer...but that would be so far from the truth. Since mid January I have been pretty busy. Some fun things, some busy things, and some down right heartbreaking times.<br />Lets start with the busy. I made 8 costumes for the kindergarten play. 5 turkeys, 1 rooster, 1 bull, and a judge. It was quite a bit of work, but they all turned out soo cute.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr7DKQOLSOxXE4-DZEVFTPEtZwTUxqwIHTK5P8m_fMlZbRG1ajIGI_rKJn7ZMGzOqet7Yc0YjQPN2J71htQoYrB4CXs8qZ42fvnSQl_kJ4aj2XJZv25XfXMdBKt_6-xkf-z9LSfdbOROM/s1600-h/k+play.bmp"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 86px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr7DKQOLSOxXE4-DZEVFTPEtZwTUxqwIHTK5P8m_fMlZbRG1ajIGI_rKJn7ZMGzOqet7Yc0YjQPN2J71htQoYrB4CXs8qZ42fvnSQl_kJ4aj2XJZv25XfXMdBKt_6-xkf-z9LSfdbOROM/s320/k+play.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451187037896259042" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxny7kM_ooB6S-q451uB7iaQBkJsRcKBLmz3_8T0Dol9MGZAXQdC9tOwPdkh3vcY1Y0hToeAmoB0X2gMHrPtrAWBggs0ZEtaXrdxTlJsnBzRK7EATeTey0NBvr5rez_MH2KsU9DroTvLg/s1600-h/bull.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 86px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxny7kM_ooB6S-q451uB7iaQBkJsRcKBLmz3_8T0Dol9MGZAXQdC9tOwPdkh3vcY1Y0hToeAmoB0X2gMHrPtrAWBggs0ZEtaXrdxTlJsnBzRK7EATeTey0NBvr5rez_MH2KsU9DroTvLg/s320/bull.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451187034263030098" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8QdKfkt10oc6uRAuCWNktrcrL7YFj9U9jPf5IJAb32r0i58F191FFGTKyzB-zU1oZE-EAwuZl4WMZsk0dtc75HYGPCaeebRMRGmS6qKu5AmCYPMKaN7M6-z54ruCyJ4AEOh3IjSem_s/s1600-h/rooster.bmp"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 86px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8QdKfkt10oc6uRAuCWNktrcrL7YFj9U9jPf5IJAb32r0i58F191FFGTKyzB-zU1oZE-EAwuZl4WMZsk0dtc75HYGPCaeebRMRGmS6qKu5AmCYPMKaN7M6-z54ruCyJ4AEOh3IjSem_s/s320/rooster.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451187027546648690" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7MKWimZt2tLcRIp505_YYL-UPgdDhhdI1j0SDmDS9NIIkzpSrNC0h-YMHxLF46ouwW9zAXds6dTL8cFAeTtO77IcDFyWUu0J9R3EG88-LyeNwPSztGcG89mVqfWwKxZNjB5ba2Yp5LJY/s1600-h/The+judge.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 86px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7MKWimZt2tLcRIp505_YYL-UPgdDhhdI1j0SDmDS9NIIkzpSrNC0h-YMHxLF46ouwW9zAXds6dTL8cFAeTtO77IcDFyWUu0J9R3EG88-LyeNwPSztGcG89mVqfWwKxZNjB5ba2Yp5LJY/s320/The+judge.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451187023561747842" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_zGaGTNiky9KHfCYwOBZgl6bwUgY2zQx1lcYuR9joglsmbbxDn2uhUikVXxxP1z3TUKKSpZo4wLmVYCiLLZegXPVI9HnwlV0muZvqgeGrF8YUcHNNS-4myyc15DqgwMU4PhENnI3PaA4/s1600-h/turkeys.bmp"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 86px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_zGaGTNiky9KHfCYwOBZgl6bwUgY2zQx1lcYuR9joglsmbbxDn2uhUikVXxxP1z3TUKKSpZo4wLmVYCiLLZegXPVI9HnwlV0muZvqgeGrF8YUcHNNS-4myyc15DqgwMU4PhENnI3PaA4/s320/turkeys.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451187018244475378" /></a><br /> Besides all the costumes, I had several embroidery orders, and tried to fit in a few items for Kate. I am really close to being caught up right now, so I finally have time to sew some summer outfits for her.<br /><br /> And then the sad. The small town I am from has been hit hard by the loss of many family members and close friends. <br />A good friend, LeeAnn Hurst, passed away early this month. She was born with spina bifida and had fought a long, hard fight. She was such a trooper and inspiration to everyone who knew her. She never let her illness get her down. Even though she will be missed by so many here on earth, I can just see her <em>walking</em>, finally, hand in hand with all the loved ones that have gone before her.<br />My father had a cousin to pass, and Meloney, my sister-in-law, lost her grandmother the same week. It hasn't slowed down since then. We have lost 5 or more friends and relatives of church members and my best childhood friend's grandmother was buried yesterday. I then learned of a classmate of my brother, and counselor at a nearby school, who was loved and admired by so many, lost her battle with leukemia. Too much sadness for 3 short weeks.<br /><br />Now, finally to happy news! Baby Kate celebrated her 1st birthday!!! Hayden and I went to visit with Luke, Amanda and Kate on Tuesday. We spent the whole day shopping with her. She is an angel. Luke and Amanda shared wonderful news. They are expecting their second baby this fall.

They are super easy and so delicious. They are very similar to the Lofthouse brand if you use the white cake mix.<br /><br />1 box cake mix (called for white, but I think you could use any flavor)<br />1/3 cup oil<br />2 eggs<br />1 can frosting (again, flavor of choice)<br />Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix ingredients together until moistened. Scoop onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before moving to cooling rack. Frost while cookies are slightly warm.<br /><br />ENJOY!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85746/sherrie22/d6433be9df7445f509528bf42bdaa6bc.png" border="0" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986282083638008615.post-79749143784011534982010-01-08T12:45:00.003-06:002010-01-08T13:03:03.084-06:00Roll Tide Roll !!!

Our 13th National Championship. The game was definitely a nail biter at times. We had to make sure we wore our "lucky" clothes and sat in the same chairs as during previous games. No, I'm not really a superstitious person...but we couldn't take any chances. I wish McCoy could have stayed healthy and finished out his college career. He is really a great player, and wonderful, christian example. I still think we would have won, but who knows what might have happened if McCoy was able to play and McElroy wasn't playing with broken ribs from the Florida game. Guess we will never know. I will still enjoy the win and Saban will get his statue at the "Walk of Champions"<br /><strong>ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!</strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifoyFQYcpHseqk3DDHmB0QorNLwF1Tywqu3_nfUyDAfMGBtvm5jLZ-ggpZrizKjFkwmsx_-CWEH6h148WR4dU-osZ-dB-ALTHe9lIcXEyVb3jsYS24y0P3QOyGWrgd4xOgQY_Sws6UrHM/s1600-h/9e63d1676deee538.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 110px; height: 125px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifoyFQYcpHseqk3DDHmB0QorNLwF1Tywqu3_nfUyDAfMGBtvm5jLZ-ggpZrizKjFkwmsx_-CWEH6h148WR4dU-osZ-dB-ALTHe9lIcXEyVb3jsYS24y0P3QOyGWrgd4xOgQY_Sws6UrHM/s400/9e63d1676deee538.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424442275034722930" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85746/sherrie22/d6433be9df7445f509528bf42bdaa6bc.png" border="0" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986282083638008615.post-4631254536876279112010-01-07T14:33:00.008-06:002010-01-07T16:05:44.191-06:00Snow Days!!!Christmas is over, the new year is here, and I should be in school today. Instead, God has blessed us with a sprinkling of beautiful, white snow and weather days away from school. I'm sure I will want these days back in late spring when the children and teachers are both in need of a break from each other, but I am going to enjoy them now. Nothing special...painting, computer, deciding if I want to pack away all the Christmas decorations, and excitedly waiting for the BIG GAME tonight. Hopefully I will be celebrating a National Championship at this time tomorrow.<br /><br />For now, I will review the Christmas holidays. We are truly BLESSED. We spent Christmas eve morning with Wade's parents, his younger brother, Jeff and his family. On Christmas eve night we opened presents with Brittany and then had Christmas morning at home. Wade surprised me, which is very hard to do, with a laptop. He had an envelope on the tree that contained clues which led me to my gift. Sooo sweet, and who knew he was such a poet. Christmas night was at my mom and dads with my family. We all bought our parents a new big screen tv. As you can tell by the picture, they were surprised...and happy too.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjAYn70Giaa5dqTWWi1mAX_Sq5u1exXvydVL5KHv8rMNuyZyRZKAnNkBh20gZdWwcTDy9IIPIidQS2bbBvuMxVZiP6RFjfu7vcloSTWCe94KmVEK6tVCvYyxEynd3nofpMDzFFCqns5Nw/s1600-h/mom+and+dad.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Yesterday was our last day of school so maybe things will settle down and we will all get much needed rest and relaxation...Yeah, right! <br />Okay, I'll try to do a brief overview of life since my last post with pictures where available.<br /> October brought numerous family birthdays beginning with Luke on the 5th, Hayden on the 9th, Chelle on the 12th, and Tyler on the 30th. Dad and Mom also celebrated an anniversary on the 29th. Wade, Hayden and I also made a short weekend trip to the mountains. Great trip and wonderful new ideas and decorations for Christmas. Plus some really cute things for Kate.<br />We rolled into November with Thanksgiving, shopping and decorating for Christmas. Oh, how I love this holiday season. We celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday with my family, Friday with Wade's family (Iron Bowl) and Sunday with my Dad's family. More decorating, shopping and sewing.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbIB4q3WifIZMjCKkEYt4rUCo1oP1-F6P_QP9C7IQ_3ob50AaNRM-3t1vGVlUZQgzL9K7rFok1AwEnttcVZuozulhqxLNxoznucIgYStASiZbYazW0Ei1xOod6Fqzh-mA7CQF1zahnwD4/s1600-h/DSC_0070.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbIB4q3WifIZMjCKkEYt4rUCo1oP1-F6P_QP9C7IQ_3ob50AaNRM-3t1vGVlUZQgzL9K7rFok1AwEnttcVZuozulhqxLNxoznucIgYStASiZbYazW0Ei1xOod6Fqzh-mA7CQF1zahnwD4/s320/DSC_0070.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417142617178227426" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-O0dK63HoiC-9584K8StSX33MkDR7_X6Y6BETSugNZ1lQJzOgVJj6CfbdNhgzF2UTS6P4b-LGI1hM3N0YJYPXyfrgfWuy0s_BqoVXmOoT3EJ0tNx-ohjFEm_5bJX_pH059D9veG8aLfE/s1600-h/DSC_0071.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-O0dK63HoiC-9584K8StSX33MkDR7_X6Y6BETSugNZ1lQJzOgVJj6CfbdNhgzF2UTS6P4b-LGI1hM3N0YJYPXyfrgfWuy0s_BqoVXmOoT3EJ0tNx-ohjFEm_5bJX_pH059D9veG8aLfE/s320/DSC_0071.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417142607502865090" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCv0HhFcpw_vVXYpH2A8dqri4fnTeC4qu-RkI4tywT3X_XZFr9bOvuQTsbvqqGIfafrsLghzmaj40ofOusHSWyxem7Aa-nR1agRzVNhblqoQoual2yMIUR_ym_e90Om_7nS4dvHV4jQM8/s1600-h/DSC_0068.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCv0HhFcpw_vVXYpH2A8dqri4fnTeC4qu-RkI4tywT3X_XZFr9bOvuQTsbvqqGIfafrsLghzmaj40ofOusHSWyxem7Aa-nR1agRzVNhblqoQoual2yMIUR_ym_e90Om_7nS4dvHV4jQM8/s320/DSC_0068.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417142605065408098" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwK_a7Dw6sTSPwB6z7WYdNU4Z7AQzd8nNJnGN1iiBhgMsO7csbeBv14gUHguVXnyCb-QPYCgpXnHYEjU0qE7ndaS02c3DG5SHZ5NycINqUfv6fwyyGA0RDJQuuUqBdDvTyoiHmosJ-rMo/s1600-h/DSC_0066.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwK_a7Dw6sTSPwB6z7WYdNU4Z7AQzd8nNJnGN1iiBhgMsO7csbeBv14gUHguVXnyCb-QPYCgpXnHYEjU0qE7ndaS02c3DG5SHZ5NycINqUfv6fwyyGA0RDJQuuUqBdDvTyoiHmosJ-rMo/s320/DSC_0066.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417142602730448386" /></a><br />What a whirlwind December has been, but so much fun. I went to Montgomery to the AEA Delegates Assembly on the 3rd and 4th.

She is the most precious, beautiful baby. All smiles! She loves her Mommy and wouldn't let us hold her but she did play a little chase, crawling around the couch with me.

Shopped more, wrapped gifts, attended parties and impatiently waited for the last day of school. Today we had our annual cookie day at Mom's and made huge amounts of cookies and candy. This has been a tradition for several years and we have a great time. We plan to finish our shopping on Monday in Birmingham and then attend a play that Shaun and Ashley are involved in with their church. After that, I plan to realax and enjoy the season with family.<br /><strong>I wish all of you a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year!</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85746/sherrie22/d6433be9df7445f509528bf42bdaa6bc.png" border="0" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986282083638008615.post-3357230205210982682009-10-12T09:36:00.003-05:002009-10-12T10:34:59.754-05:00Life is Good!We visited Luke, Amanda, and Kate as mentioned in the previous blog. I just didn't post pictures the next week as promised. Here they are...three weeks later instead. Sorry! Hayden, Vickie, Mom, and I made the trip this time. We had a wonderful visit, and as you can tell from the pics...Kate is precious. She is cutting teeth and chewing on EVERYTHING! She smiles constantly and is developing such a little personality. She <em><strong>loves</strong></em> her mom and dad, but was sweet enough to let all of us hold and love on her. We carried gifts for her and she just sat and looked at all of them like a little lady. Can't wait to see her in all her outfits. She will look like an angel.

We shopped that afternoon and then met Amanda and Kate for dinner. Poor Luke was having to write a paper for law school and wasn't able to join us. He is so dedicated.<br /><br />Homecoming was scheduled for October 9th, Hayden's birthday, but was moved to Thursday because of rain. Turned out great. She was beautiful, and her dress was gorgeous. She was escorted by Elijah, who was her boyfriend for three or so years during the preschool/elementary years. <br />Hayden in her gown for the parade.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyvtKwABiFiR2iRWz3MWsYYdNE5xK8wUq72dkKvC-Tt_0e5NXWYLQJE5fYOcbne6tf6xCGnasWokOxV0SITBtlRt7D7OG5v7cwGFhYZrcNnNXda8j4uxHSs8gy07lw2hcpJ_U3DePEPy8/s1600-h/DSC_0078.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 194px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyvtKwABiFiR2iRWz3MWsYYdNE5xK8wUq72dkKvC-Tt_0e5NXWYLQJE5fYOcbne6tf6xCGnasWokOxV0SITBtlRt7D7OG5v7cwGFhYZrcNnNXda8j4uxHSs8gy07lw2hcpJ_U3DePEPy8/s400/DSC_0078.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391731445328109234" /></a><br />Hayden on the Queens Float<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdELQTsD9BS3TFh3FvjedTorxtSL5eCT2f-QIBC99FkJZ6dRZrT2Smm1tECZ2zZKmdoJaJtk-VNxbn_h8gM4Jm6s72CpiCOIUF5e-YLTmLxckwJheuN4JVVKoYnddW8ns-2tfkJwDs3Qo/s1600-h/DSC_0031.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdELQTsD9BS3TFh3FvjedTorxtSL5eCT2f-QIBC99FkJZ6dRZrT2Smm1tECZ2zZKmdoJaJtk-VNxbn_h8gM4Jm6s72CpiCOIUF5e-YLTmLxckwJheuN4JVVKoYnddW8ns-2tfkJwDs3Qo/s400/DSC_0031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391731435837530818" /></a><br />Hayden and Elijah<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip5s2hvjJYuBBOPpuMm6kSR7AqApp_kLOpHQiEg7tyKN7Y3RbEl4PMH8t-CKRQ3_s6D2n4v7PC7mPkuIJZ04aQjOu3BLSenN0cw4ZaO8JAe5lLXC180FsWyAiTyiAs9O9A1Sjdp_CDhEw/s1600-h/DSC_0108.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip5s2hvjJYuBBOPpuMm6kSR7AqApp_kLOpHQiEg7tyKN7Y3RbEl4PMH8t-CKRQ3_s6D2n4v7PC7mPkuIJZ04aQjOu3BLSenN0cw4ZaO8JAe5lLXC180FsWyAiTyiAs9O9A1Sjdp_CDhEw/s400/DSC_0108.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391731450051145106" /></a><br />Hayden with Momo<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWRKolSKEPEte2ecEU-cXTjX2s6MQBVSGsYzIWqRQR5DUz8t1PVsGd1QDN0wATx53-nVmCozovHyxGjgWvLQjdg_EJ6WjZ7tHgmmdb6XIJMGUhBgh9-z0pUSC4CmGm9KMQ6qswYBD4ofY/s1600-h/DSC_0120.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWRKolSKEPEte2ecEU-cXTjX2s6MQBVSGsYzIWqRQR5DUz8t1PVsGd1QDN0wATx53-nVmCozovHyxGjgWvLQjdg_EJ6WjZ7tHgmmdb6XIJMGUhBgh9-z0pUSC4CmGm9KMQ6qswYBD4ofY/s400/DSC_0120.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391731466794662834" /></a><br />Wade, Hayden, and Tyler<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVXAoDyj_2KB9e7QCXmHh54jYqnKnDnbxaqMJnj8PrOPYZbalNn87TR-wiF2zxdA0VvU3d1aqjOgfHExuIAMHqIviAA3tcSUwwRWb7IGujj7jeSD_kAghRNtra5UgdzwG74H8qfRqPIt8/s1600-h/DSC_0122.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVXAoDyj_2KB9e7QCXmHh54jYqnKnDnbxaqMJnj8PrOPYZbalNn87TR-wiF2zxdA0VvU3d1aqjOgfHExuIAMHqIviAA3tcSUwwRWb7IGujj7jeSD_kAghRNtra5UgdzwG74H8qfRqPIt8/s400/DSC_0122.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391731456818114146" /></a><br /><br />Life Is Good, and we are so blessed!

Probably because he was rockin the mohawk. He won a $100 gas card, a $50 food gift card, a t-shirt, cap, and tomahawk. Brittany bet him that he wouldn't get it cut, so he also won dinner Friday night. I think it all turned out pretty well for him, especially since he only kept it for two days.<br /><br />That's what has been going on here. I plan to visit Luke, Amanda, and Kate Saturday and hope to have new pictures next week.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85746/sherrie22/d6433be9df7445f509528bf42bdaa6bc.png" border="0" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986282083638008615.post-59754116992505051252009-08-25T20:28:00.004-05:002009-08-25T21:04:43.926-05:00How I Spend My Spare Time Part IISchool is back in session, Tyler is back in Starkville, and Hayden's volleyball season is now in full swing. You might ask "When do you have spare time?" I learned years ago that you make time to do the things you enjoy, and I truly LOVE sewing. Especially for precious angel Kate. Sewing also helps me to relax and get away from life's everyday troubles. I asked Hayden to help me come up with a label for the clothes I make for Kate. So here are the latest additions to the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 line of.....<br /><br /><strong>"Kate's Kouture"</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-R48JkLc5-iJeWQUHudAgg1aXLfkm7udPDNHdbht8L4JAD7GdpV4aZRM-CrBJ5_GVT4nk3maFcBeTaUCnv0c07ZvrLVmcnBSHHn2amQxsqrw1rUZ6KabnsRoQYda7jajdmapyWiqHkBY/s1600-h/Kate+005.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

My job is not that physically demanding, but I could come home every afternoon and stay on the couch til bedtime. Of course, that isn't possible, so I am drained. 75% of the children in the class I am working with this year, have special learning needs. This is difficult for teachers and everyone involved. But I am not whining...at least I have a job and insurance. Well, maybe I was whining a little.<br />In other news, Tyler goes back to school Monday, Hayden's volleyball season starts next week, Wade and I are planning a weekend trip to the mountains in late October, and I am ready to start decorating for Fall. Then on to my favorite holiday...notice my new ticker counting the days til Christmas. <br />Later...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidlMVnLmjqw0SRfXmDCOunRZ8zZox69OoYN5jl2LLP4VmGrI-HhjpOVLf7j3IGjnULElE3bTJKRSu3d-r6aJ7OLLBg6amsG9UgI6n2nM7FxhilLHI11HXGFP6n9bZHldXCAoG9r6XTYDY/s1600-h/fall.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 145px; height: 108px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidlMVnLmjqw0SRfXmDCOunRZ8zZox69OoYN5jl2LLP4VmGrI-HhjpOVLf7j3IGjnULElE3bTJKRSu3d-r6aJ7OLLBg6amsG9UgI6n2nM7FxhilLHI11HXGFP6n9bZHldXCAoG9r6XTYDY/s400/fall.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369553287141339330" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85746/sherrie22/d6433be9df7445f509528bf42bdaa6bc.png" border="0" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986282083638008615.post-43216170593069037452009-07-29T10:35:00.003-05:002009-07-29T10:54:59.246-05:00You're Growing Old!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iUcHoHbfNnPBFsbmmvyk4a2-unkvks5_u1WndqPkb84RBoGIrH1saRGb9vF0CXMuTJDauTVGuJTK1IMmAwliEhpeKeV054lX2ChV571Fg0jCNaDAXuZ-7iXQX_TsLJOx23WLqg4Uyro/s1600-h/vic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 245px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iUcHoHbfNnPBFsbmmvyk4a2-unkvks5_u1WndqPkb84RBoGIrH1saRGb9vF0CXMuTJDauTVGuJTK1IMmAwliEhpeKeV054lX2ChV571Fg0jCNaDAXuZ-7iXQX_TsLJOx23WLqg4Uyro/s400/vic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363910334887758818" /></a><br />July is a huge month of birthdays for me! My dad, mom, sister, 2 brother-in-laws, several friends, and even our cat celebrate birthdays. But the one I want to mention now is my oldest sibling, Vickie. She turned the BIG 5-0 on the 27th. I wouldn't be shouting out her age if it didn't bother her sooo much. Her family left on Saturday the 25th for a trip to Vegas. I am almost certain she planned this to avoid harassment from family and friends. I don't know why it bothers her so much. She looks great for someone that is half a century old. I hope you have a great trip with your family in Vegas...but remember, you have to return someday!<br /><strong>HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85746/sherrie22/d6433be9df7445f509528bf42bdaa6bc.png" border="0" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986282083638008615.post-186869226869511152009-07-24T16:34:00.005-05:002009-07-24T19:48:20.836-05:00Happy 1st Birthday, Grady!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglrf3p6A918xZlQ-Vio5N7QhAxoF5ifk_zKp3vgTnVqRqgModpHRSvWfzlvhe3OIvDx1FpRu6gbKF_UG_43xg1iQoRIXsKuhyphenhyphenapA-OtyFdpgNgUyfSuDcPZPkW4-fqC2trVRqtCM2FhY/s1600-h/DSC_0062.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgglrf3p6A918xZlQ-Vio5N7QhAxoF5ifk_zKp3vgTnVqRqgModpHRSvWfzlvhe3OIvDx1FpRu6gbKF_UG_43xg1iQoRIXsKuhyphenhyphenapA-OtyFdpgNgUyfSuDcPZPkW4-fqC2trVRqtCM2FhY/s320/DSC_0062.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362144860390469330" /></a>Today is the 1st birthday of a very special little boy. Grady Wallace. He belongs to our good friends, Jamie and Jennifer. He is the happiest baby and always has a smile for everyone he meets.

The food was great, but nothing compared to the company. It was so good to see all three of them...but let me tell you about Kate! She has changed so much since their last visit. She is really developing her own little personality, and is such a happy baby. She has beautiful dimples, just like her dad. She lights up when Luke or Amanda come in the room. She is also mesmerized by Bandit and will stare at him for several minutes at a time. I fall in love with her more every time I see her. By looking at the pictures you will probably agree that I am not the only one.

We discovered that our other dog, Marley, had the same symptoms as the first and had to treat him for several days. Wade thinks they were having a severe reaction to flea collars. He has researched this on the internet and found many cases where the symptoms were exactly like Marley and Maci's. The vet did tell us that the Parvo test is unreliable and gives false results regularly. I am just glad they are happy, healthy puppies again.<br />Tyler tested positive for H. Pyloric, some type of peptic stomach ulcer. Seems this was his problem instead of acid reflux. He will have to keep taking the medicine for acid reflux for a while to prepare his stomach for the treatment of the H. Pyloric...a strong triple dose of antibiotics. The strong antibiotic is what set off the problem to begin with. Keep him in your prayers, please.<br />This week has been hectic. Monday was Hayden's dentist appt. Tuesday, Tyler and I went to Starkville to sign the lease for his apartment.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_Dfr0D62gWMudK7Mdo22MrZoK7C2wIu6jgFKzJ4XJR4gtinuQa8SbxeIVEUoaUj41MQDTAT6TmU6NgN-bSVcog6n1Er4yCUCLW1Lb83mwuSLXOsZm9Tc8ojKnKXd2cbDjAUu6s_mvCg/s1600-h/links.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 139px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_Dfr0D62gWMudK7Mdo22MrZoK7C2wIu6jgFKzJ4XJR4gtinuQa8SbxeIVEUoaUj41MQDTAT6TmU6NgN-bSVcog6n1Er4yCUCLW1Lb83mwuSLXOsZm9Tc8ojKnKXd2cbDjAUu6s_mvCg/s200/links.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359520592784554130" /></a><br /> Wednesday, Hayden and I went to see the new Harry Potter movie.

His surgery was on the 26th and I thought he was going to get through it with no problem...and then on the 30th he woke up with jaws swollen so huge that he resembled Marlon Brando in "The Godfather". How ironic...that is his favorite movie.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9w78zKnCgE7vx4my8cXh54hZKQCQAzWEE3AMcmvBLOkYoKpBE-ITpK0ysbGewE656e-95K9XFbsz6AGRE3kT1XA1I0Z66YjFU0U7g0E2s1ApHGwiOcKWvTy2g1UaVHz0NeNYTcmBM3BQ/s1600-h/godfather.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 101px; height: 135px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9w78zKnCgE7vx4my8cXh54hZKQCQAzWEE3AMcmvBLOkYoKpBE-ITpK0ysbGewE656e-95K9XFbsz6AGRE3kT1XA1I0Z66YjFU0U7g0E2s1ApHGwiOcKWvTy2g1UaVHz0NeNYTcmBM3BQ/s320/godfather.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355935669480271634" /></a>
<br /> I had an appointment with my dentist for a crown that afternoon, so Tyler went with me. It turns out that he had a serious infection and the doctor gave him clindamycin. He had problems swallowing the capsule, so I told him just to eat food after taking the meds to push the pill on down. From Tuesday til Friday night he was miserable because he could hardly eat and it felt like the pills were lodged in his throat. Needless to say he was not a happy camper, because Tyler is a big guy and he really likes to eat. So he stopped taking the pill and went to the doctor on Monday. Turns out he has non symptomatic acid reflux and the strong antibiotic had caused it to flare up. He is now on medication for that. Tell me, how difficult is it going to be for me to get Hayden to have her wisdom teeth removed next summer after all this drama?
<br />
<br />And if that isn't enough excitement for one week, our 8 month old retriever, Macy, started acting sick on the night of the 4th. Sunday morning we checked on her and she could hardly walk, so we called our vet. Wade left with Macy, and the steering in his truck went out about 1000 feet from our drive. He hit a ditch and was thrown across the road in to another yard. He called a wrecker to tow his truck and walked back to our house to get a different vehicle. Macy didn't have enough energy to walk so he had to carry her back home. Did I mention that it was pouring rain? If you are wondering why we weren't helping him, it is because we had already left for church. When they finally made it to Bessemer(about 70 miles from us), Macy was diagnosed with Parvo. This is pretty unusual for a dog her age. Luckily, because she it is older they think she can be treated and will be fine. They started an IV drip and kept her until today to rehydrate her and get the virus out of her system. Now that she is home, I am force feeding her rice in chicken broth and Pedialyte because she doesn't have an appetite and won't eat on her own. So... I have spent most of my day nursing my baby girl and watching the coverage of Michael Jackson's funeral. What a sad day...maybe tomorrow will be better.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq8wgkZxu7Fnkn5QTl3zYlY0lUBtK4roQDB5uAcK6T-3qWdmSMI_pLcha6MhuOQo2OxkUIp-kL62n6Bx7tXmnnankS11RUQM99Q-8XzCuX_ZWGx5nc02mQvf_I6XHB-P05UToDgsHNo9M/s1600-h/michael.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355934904168587490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 155px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 120px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq8wgkZxu7Fnkn5QTl3zYlY0lUBtK4roQDB5uAcK6T-3qWdmSMI_pLcha6MhuOQo2OxkUIp-kL62n6Bx7tXmnnankS11RUQM99Q-8XzCuX_ZWGx5nc02mQvf_I6XHB-P05UToDgsHNo9M/s320/michael.jpg" border="0" /></a>The Michael Jackson that I knew and loved in the early 80's. I know there was much controversy in his life, but he was very talented and a great entertainer.

Sometimes you just have to toughen up and accept the inevitable. He has been a pretty good patient. Hayden was supposed to have hers removed also, but we had a change of plans after I found out that she had used most of her yearly maximum on our dental insurance. Now she gets to wait until next summer. Probably not a good idea since she went with us for the surgery and found out that Tyler woke up twice during the procedure. She only went because she thought he might be funny on all the medications. Too bad....he slept all the way home and hardly even remembers Friday. The only funny thing he did was the day after surgery. From a medicated sleep he said, "Whose favorite band is Simon and Garfunkel?" We got a pretty good laugh from that.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDO9nUVZmgOROehoWEibtdMA7VC4jhCizVh7_gGcg1Sb6UyjzpUZAx4OIXaBtEL5z944_zy_0An6O0fEYVIYzNk5yT-FFQ-9BFm8uEHKlltW3EFZ-pFGIUyxU2r9BSZT-pYCjZ65d2n_M/s1600-h/Tyler+surgery+002.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 133px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352416677913465218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDO9nUVZmgOROehoWEibtdMA7VC4jhCizVh7_gGcg1Sb6UyjzpUZAx4OIXaBtEL5z944_zy_0An6O0fEYVIYzNk5yT-FFQ-9BFm8uEHKlltW3EFZ-pFGIUyxU2r9BSZT-pYCjZ65d2n_M/s200/Tyler+surgery+002.jpg" /></a> The only way we found to keep the ice packs on both sides while he slept.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5uROT8MPStD4ARhgLgaWCAd3oYO3u2BuzlApieJGZJaf3SKdMfOd8GFkNaWHb4VSitlJLk50a-8tuiMhz-CJUjQO-RrtEumyCydBjKa9Wy7WLdDT1EzkrfvsmG6fk1DHN8xxLrhZV4Dw/s1600-h/Tyler+surgery+003.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 133px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352416688686895362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5uROT8MPStD4ARhgLgaWCAd3oYO3u2BuzlApieJGZJaf3SKdMfOd8GFkNaWHb4VSitlJLk50a-8tuiMhz-CJUjQO-RrtEumyCydBjKa9Wy7WLdDT1EzkrfvsmG6fk1DHN8xxLrhZV4Dw/s200/Tyler+surgery+003.jpg" /></a><br />Being a good sport.Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986282083638008615.post-55732234457105499512009-06-15T16:01:00.007-05:002009-06-15T16:46:56.669-05:00How I Spend My Spare Time<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBFJsTAX3mNND2oQ7WM5n8XdfT1vc6OJXGicmJmV222OJpAlsszRi7V5vfaFss_nchMiZEKmPrPiHpWTnyyjbjVGaGN_6_esKBWBayjsRtHJZ3t0bIlZwMI4iHduh_eoQB93K8bmvk17U/s1600-h/Sewing+Projects+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347668840227794306" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBFJsTAX3mNND2oQ7WM5n8XdfT1vc6OJXGicmJmV222OJpAlsszRi7V5vfaFss_nchMiZEKmPrPiHpWTnyyjbjVGaGN_6_esKBWBayjsRtHJZ3t0bIlZwMI4iHduh_eoQB93K8bmvk17U/s320/Sewing+Projects+008.jpg" border="0" /></a>I posted several weeks ago about the sewing machine Wade bought me for Christmas.

Nick, our youth minister, asked if I would help chaperone 14 of our youth on a trip to Parsons, Tn to help a smaller congregation with their VBS. I am so glad that I agreed. I was so uplifted by our teens hard work and willingness to help others. We had a great time, I don't remember laughing that much in a long time. But it wasn't all play, the teens had a tough schedule from morning to night. We divided in to groups and knocked doors in the morning, inviting the locals to VBS. After lunch, the teens did a puppet show and sang songs with the elementary school's summer program. They were also responsible for the entire VBS program...the skit, puppet show, themed crafts, games and an application room. The theme was "Elijah, the Prophet", but the skit and application changed every night. After a couple days, they would take every extra minute to nap on an empty pew. I think much good came from this work for our teens and the community of Parsons. Great Job, young people! And a <strong>Big Shout Out to Jeremy, Jeb, Kristin, Baily, and everyone from Parsons that made us feel so welcomed. Thank You!!!</strong> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2_GkpyB0mabyr81Yx_EgQp4tXSfURju2xRnPALWJxYMJcUzBkp2bBmsotThyYDlhm5mV8ysKs6p1gUD8Y-91pNGKAe9DRNWM-w_Lr3LgZ5-z5cIupBffp2OUVGgGgO3AoWayjGcnJ0DI/s1600-h/WYG+Mission+09+006.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2_GkpyB0mabyr81Yx_EgQp4tXSfURju2xRnPALWJxYMJcUzBkp2bBmsotThyYDlhm5mV8ysKs6p1gUD8Y-91pNGKAe9DRNWM-w_Lr3LgZ5-z5cIupBffp2OUVGgGgO3AoWayjGcnJ0DI/s320/WYG+Mission+09+006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345311832476363730" /></a> Door Knocking...Hayden, Allyson, Mollie, Jacob and Jeremy. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1I1Q7Ov3nkIjD-kLJsjl3tVrIh3JrKeFyPlb9fiEFgR3_lQE0jmjdgHU3D1PHkovHrEDwr2YzjkrzskuQsZuFQkYFFnih91gn2cN-6cLEu7zWFP3mRh0yOkPa3pNuUvq_PzSiunA_gC0/s1600-h/WYG+Mission+09+003.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1I1Q7Ov3nkIjD-kLJsjl3tVrIh3JrKeFyPlb9fiEFgR3_lQE0jmjdgHU3D1PHkovHrEDwr2YzjkrzskuQsZuFQkYFFnih91gn2cN-6cLEu7zWFP3mRh0yOkPa3pNuUvq_PzSiunA_gC0/s320/WYG+Mission+09+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345311829441015874" /></a>Hold on Jacob...It is dangerous in the back of my Jeep!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCD0CUGSSpS0CO7hRrf9K2mABPG_GMlG2oTZRLy2S5JyD2DnyqhuASaovpZwwQgQte8ymGboaNC5rRzXLKPHdWL808eAvLLkA1TqUJhcfPSp9pf_dmwwgrJv1gZ9Kohi8V9ZbfVpU2sN4/s1600-h/WYG+Mission+09+016.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCD0CUGSSpS0CO7hRrf9K2mABPG_GMlG2oTZRLy2S5JyD2DnyqhuASaovpZwwQgQte8ymGboaNC5rRzXLKPHdWL808eAvLLkA1TqUJhcfPSp9pf_dmwwgrJv1gZ9Kohi8V9ZbfVpU2sN4/s320/WYG+Mission+09+016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345311839718030546" /></a> Nick the Creeper...Creeping!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZf30QKJtBUut8nlNk3buDqOURXB2V0yUZYRKPhnF2ma57YAOM9jgin1oKzmuekeVPh7V2F86BV5c5rA9giMCinEPhiBsuqYf-fKxrgO1uIldafaXN7x8Me2CmL9sZ6pjXwoUC8eu3eGI/s1600-h/WYG+Mission+09+044.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZf30QKJtBUut8nlNk3buDqOURXB2V0yUZYRKPhnF2ma57YAOM9jgin1oKzmuekeVPh7V2F86BV5c5rA9giMCinEPhiBsuqYf-fKxrgO1uIldafaXN7x8Me2CmL9sZ6pjXwoUC8eu3eGI/s320/WYG+Mission+09+044.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345311843107100322" /></a>Happy Birthday to Breanna who celebrated her 17th birthday while we were in Parsons!Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986282083638008615.post-50160778700314267442009-05-24T20:59:00.005-05:002009-05-24T21:58:02.450-05:00Visit From an Angel!It is only Sunday night, and I can already say this has been the best Memorial Day weekend...ever!

After they left last night, she pouted up and said "I Love Her and Miss Her Already" Didn't take long to wrap you around her little pinkie.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYzqp8iNNeby8ZGtMgqJ-ymZVd3JhgKypM8hO9lNOHwzY4NwWUBqfjstYJ6Oo3b9TOyq6p3ui_SjRflWaGivpICT0qVwP2Wge5lQ21J6p_ltdpS3BnBJeZ2fH7YC8W-6-vF2l05sXUAtY/s1600-h/Kates+1st+visit+014.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYzqp8iNNeby8ZGtMgqJ-ymZVd3JhgKypM8hO9lNOHwzY4NwWUBqfjstYJ6Oo3b9TOyq6p3ui_SjRflWaGivpICT0qVwP2Wge5lQ21J6p_ltdpS3BnBJeZ2fH7YC8W-6-vF2l05sXUAtY/s320/Kates+1st+visit+014.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339577626338701042" /></a><br /><br />Ashley had baby fever already...Watch out, Shaun!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYuZcGmxPu-RKW0HyqMw5QlsrIUQSVpKS3Yq-ITubSPvI2jqDFdyo0qQh4VLYfN-sq0iz43fDFJoKIV783NYy7mn2Lfl1yaPETuS8W6WC1_cqriV_UYft4dmhzvF1iil_N6hUlTqZaonY/s1600-h/Kates+1st+visit+016.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYuZcGmxPu-RKW0HyqMw5QlsrIUQSVpKS3Yq-ITubSPvI2jqDFdyo0qQh4VLYfN-sq0iz43fDFJoKIV783NYy7mn2Lfl1yaPETuS8W6WC1_cqriV_UYft4dmhzvF1iil_N6hUlTqZaonY/s320/Kates+1st+visit+016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339583123577508434" /></a>Meloney getting her time with Kate!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzAuqPoSp7wtjbBMBIvGLgmhsWQEMgrF4mqr7-2aNeJLu7U6btalRn4ZsD4c8m8wXLKO17g6yDy4W9A6YVCG4PpHX1vVFzJv1QuvXu6RHvekHAiFOgYEDI83G-tdWVtlRSmgyJNJA5vGM/s1600-h/Kates+1st+visit+018.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzAuqPoSp7wtjbBMBIvGLgmhsWQEMgrF4mqr7-2aNeJLu7U6btalRn4ZsD4c8m8wXLKO17g6yDy4W9A6YVCG4PpHX1vVFzJv1QuvXu6RHvekHAiFOgYEDI83G-tdWVtlRSmgyJNJA5vGM/s320/Kates+1st+visit+018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339583121157139074" /></a>Even Kevin had a chance to hold her. I'm sure most of you have noticed by this point that a couple of pictures are missing. Where is the one with me spoiling Kate? How about Vickie? I can assure you, we did have our chance. I just missed the photo op. I'm just hoping Ashley or Meloney have pics that they will share with me.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVcx_4zyvUDr3P5Gl5cFTthsOcNbWgyUX2qVe7EDrEKUMX9Ad5K3Hk8p9iAyC8JmUuGAR_RR7kMUrcPmaWJdbYoTVuER2zzR6y6IeN5s1J16vZ8pDZjNi6u5XtXvpu0eY6_RqdvHAbT0/s1600-h/Kates+1st+visit+023.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVcx_4zyvUDr3P5Gl5cFTthsOcNbWgyUX2qVe7EDrEKUMX9Ad5K3Hk8p9iAyC8JmUuGAR_RR7kMUrcPmaWJdbYoTVuER2zzR6y6IeN5s1J16vZ8pDZjNi6u5XtXvpu0eY6_RqdvHAbT0/s320/Kates+1st+visit+023.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339583128583001522" /></a>Luke, Amanda, and the little Angel! Thank you so much for bringing Kate to visit. You will never know how much this meant to the whole family. We love all three of you, so much! Thanks again!<br /><br />I also want to add that Friday night was my niece, Chelle's graduation. She will be attending MSU in the fall and will be Tyler's roomie. I didn't have a graduation picture to post, but once again...I'll rely on Ashley to send me a few. <strong>Congratulations Chelle!!!</strong>Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198140553470508514noreply@blogger.com1
