Yes Im still here

Alot has been going on with this past week! ALOT!!! that is why I'm here now! I have been absent the past week! Where to begin? I don't have many pictures with this post seeing that I was on the Go and at home to much! But. Here I go!

Tuesday 2-15-2011

Okay Camp, lets start with this. I still had not seen that Little metal knob that you thought was so good, So I started looking into another Doctor. I finally found one that I loved! His nurses were on top of their game and got with it! This made me happy! They scheduled another X-Ray Immediately that day!

So we got our things together and headed to the Doctor's Office in Searcy. Picked up your Script from the nurse to get the X-Ray then headed to the Hospital! We waited for just a few minutes until we were all checked in and then The nice man took us up to the X-Ray room.


You did not like having this done! I had to hold you down with another nurse helping me why you cried the whole time! I know that BIG o'l Machine scared you!

Once they were done, They took it to the other room and all 5 people in the Room looked at it so oddly, Leading me to think that it was still in you! We headed home and you started a Fever! This began our long week of a sick baby boy!

Calleigh went to the Valentines Party with Aunt Leah, Joe and Sam, We were supposed to go, But I was worried you would get the other kiddos sick! So We hung out at home!

Wednesday 2-16-2011

After dropping Calleigh off at school, I took you back to the doctor. We met our new doctor this day! Dr. Ben Wilkins. He let us in on the results of the X-Ray from the day before and Waaala, NO KNOB!!!!! YAY. I was so happy. NO more poo smashing for me! NOPE!!!! I was so excited. I'm pretty sure you liked teasing me each day for the last 2 weeks with this! :)

He said you were all good and looked the size of a 2 year old! Dr. Wilkins said that you were over the 90th percentile in height and weight and that at the rate your growing your looking to be 6ft when your fully grown! WOW. I cant seem to think of my little man this Big. :(

Then we headed to Grannahs Office to make a fast Visit,

You always Love sitting on her Lap, drinking her coffee's and messing with her work!

We were wasting time until Ginger got out of school and Aunt Elecia made it to Judsonia so we could all go eat lunch at KJ's. It was a fun time of course. Us girls had such a fun laugh about everything. Camp, You just walked around and didn't really care what we were talking about! We then headed home!

We had church that night and all was good,

Thursday 2-17-2011

We stayed home. You were sick with the stomach bug and did not feel good at all! So it was pretty much a boring day!

Friday 2-18-2011

Another day spent at home, However, This day was BEAUTIFUL outside and we could not take part in it, You were still sick, So to give me something to do, I got the Crazy Idea to PAINT the other 4 rooms in our home to finish it all! So You and I head off to Garths and get 4 gallons of Paint. I started Calleigh's Room first b/c, She has been begging to get it done for a while now! The color: Gleeful Green.

Calleigh, Your room is so cute with green on the walls, So I did it all up for ya! Took forever with a sick baby, But I managed and got it done! I hit up the Hall bathroom next. That did not take long at all, Super small anyways.

Saturday 2-19-2011

Camp, this was your worst day, You laid around all day, Cried, Wanted to be held and cuddled, I loved that part, But felt so bad for you that you were so sick. Corey stayed home with the kids while I ran uptown to get lots of fluids.

• 1st stop Dollar General : Sprite
• 2nd stop Main Street Grocery: Jello packs, They told me that they were out of Pedialyte and that Jello mix watered down works just as well, I never knew this.
• 3rd stop Palace Drug Store: Finally found the Pedialyte and Freezer Pops
• 4th stop Harveys Gas Station: Corey wanted Peace Tea. so I had to make sure I got it for him! haha,

I finally make it home and start the fluids on Camp. He slowly started getting back to normal, During his nap, I did Nothing b/c I was so worn out from caring for him. needless to say, it was a bad weekend to do painting and Relax. I felt so bad for him!

Calleigh enjoyed the weekend however! I was glad for her! Later that night I started and finished Camps room in the painting area! So Cute! I started on our bathroom. Didn't finish it. I was too sleepy!

Sunday 2-20-2011

Corey and Calleigh headed off to Church while Camp and I stayed home. He was too sick to get out and off to church. He laid around and slept the whole time! after a long nap, Corey and Calleigh came home. She was so excited to show me her Sunday school work she did. She's always so proud to show it off. Calleigh laid down and napped, Corey did to and I stayed up and made sure the kiddos were okay!

Once He woke up, they were up too and then I laid down. Once I woke up, Corey was telling me to look at Camp, I sit up off of the Couch and Camp is in the floor next to me asleep with his blanket!


Corey said he had cried for me so much that he passed out asleep on the floor. I felt So bad, I guess I was so tired that I snoozed through every bit of it! He looked so peaceful though! Sweet Baby.

Later in the day, We grilled fish for dinner and made some yummy seasoned potatoes in the oven with green beans and hot rolls. YUM! we all sat at our table and talked about the day! We made a fast trip up town after dinner to help Corey's' Friend unload a chair and move it into his house! Came home and Relaxed. Camp had started to feel somewhat better. But not fully just yet!

Monday 2-21-2011

Calleigh was off to school yet again! I feel like she is always gone! I miss her so much, But am so proud of how she is learning.

While at home, Camp wanted to watch a movie so I put in this DVD that Poppie bought him. A Children's Church songs video in Calleigh's Room! He Loved it! you have to see the video to really get it! He's so cute!


This was Parent / Teacher Conference day as well, School let out at 12:45 and My appt. with the teacher was at 2:45. Once we got there. I sat down with her teacher and began to talk. She goes on to tell me How Well behaved Calleigh is at school, She always listens, always, responds when asked to do something, she always finishes her work, She always eats every meal and all of it! Veggies and all. and Stays Focused in what she is doing! While being told this, I am just so amazed, Not because I don't think my little girl is Smart, But b/c she is completely opposite at home!

• 1: She misbehaves some, But what kid doesn't?
• 2: She hardly ever listens. haha. Well, she does, But it takes us having to pull out the spatula at some points to remind her to listen to what we say. :)
• 3: She does respond well to things we tell her, Just not so often as the teacher says she does.
• 4: She never wants to eat for us, Shes so picky,and she HATES veggies.
• 5: I cant get her to stay focused for anything!

Now, for those of you who think my daughter is just a bad kid, NO she is NOT! this is just the normal behavior of a little girl around her parents who she is comfortable with VS. her Teachers at school!

We love her so much, But I just giggled once I told the teacher her differences at home! :) She went on to tell me Calleigh needs help learning the last 1/2 of the Alphabet, and Counting from 1 to 20 forwards and Backwards and Writing her name in Lower Case letters. They said her favorite is All upper case! Go figure. I see this all the time at home!

Now, on to my question. Since when do they teach Math problems to Pre-K? Am I lost. I was so sure that I did not even start this until like 1st grade~! haha. Well maybe Kindergarten. Well to be honest. I cant remember. But PRE-K? they learn things earlier every year!

Once we were done with the P/T Conference, We headed to searcy, We dropped of Girl Scout cookies with Grannah and Uncle Rush, then went to Wal-Mart, got a few groceries and some snacks for my Premier Jewelry party the next day! Then we headed off to Lowe's. picked up a White Curtain Rod for Calleigh's room and then headed off to Chic-Fil-A. YUM YUM!

Funny Story: We all know how at Chic-Fil-A, When they are done saying something they always end by saying "My Pleasure" Well, We go thru the drive thru and of course they say, "My Pleasure" with such a sweet voice. We pull up to the window to get our food, The girl hands it to us and then says " Have a nice Night" and My spur of the moment daughter replies from the back seat so loudly with "My Pleasure". I was so embarrassed. The Cashier just giggled and b/c they have to say it says " My Pleasure" hahahaha. Yes. We laughed and I drove off, then Calleigh says " ugggg, they always say that there " So silly! I guess she has picked up on that!

Once home, We put the kids to bed and Corey and I watched The Bachelor. Which may I add, I am an EMILY Fan all the way! I really wish Brad would just end this show now and give her the Ring. they are so perfect together! For sure!

Tuesday 2-22-2011 ( A Little Laugh )

I Cleaned ALL DAY LONG for the Premiere Jewelry party that night! My house was looking and smelling good. I love when its this clean! After done, I cleaned up and waited for Lisa to arrive. She came and got all set up. The party was to start at 6:30.

Well 6:45 comes and our first guest arrives, Leah, My Sister In Law. 6:53 comes when I look at the clock and NO ONE is here!

Oh My, Could I be the Girl who Throws a Party and No One Shows????? Sadly YES!

I just looked at Lisa the Jeweler and said, "Well I don't know where anyone is, I'm so sorry" We just giggled and talked, Needless to say, No one else Came! I love doing things like this and always worry that No One will come. I have never had this problem, But This time I did! All we could do was laugh about it! Leah, Lisa and I just joked about no one coming. I have to say you can't get mad about something funny like that! We had a good time.

Corey actually came home early from his Mom and Dads so that He could be a 'Customer'. Yes. he always makes me laugh! The night was over and Everyone LOL. Went home! Corey and I got the kids off to bed and settled in and watched the first of our many to come form NetFlix movies. Iron Man 2. It was good!

Today is Wednesday, 2-23-2011

I'm lounging at home with this sweet face,


As Corey is off at work on the Farm and Calleigh Jo is off at school~ I know this was a Boring post, But I'm pretty sure I want to at some point look into having my Blog scrap booked! So that I can always have these as memories! God Bless,

MySpace Post

Yes. I know what your thinking.... "She has a MySpace? What a loser!" Ha. Well I do, But, I NEVER use it. tonight I hopped on to see if I had any pictures of Calleigh when she was a baby! I found 1. while searching for it, I started to read my entry's on my profile! I found this one and once I read it again, I got chills all over again. I just had to Blog it and share it with all of you!

All the Best,





Enjoy!

Wow! Is All I can say!

Hey everyone. I hope that all of you read this.

This weekend I came to my first women's retreat in Tulsa, OK with my church, Gospel Mission Church, I have had so much fun. I only wish all of my friends and family ladies could have come. This has been the best time I have had in the spirit of Jesus in such a long time.

As Most of you know, Corey and I became Pregnant with our sweet blessing of a little girl, Calleigh Jo! How she has made us change in so many ways. However, since the very day it was confirmed our little one was going to be a baby girl, I cried for happiness and fear.

Happiness because if only you knew how I felt, that it was my turn to do the PINK and fun dresses , bows and headbands, all the wonderful times to come as a mother and daughter bond and a little girl who grows to admire her daddy. It was so great to know what was on the way.

So much fun. then the FEAR, because I knew once more the generational curse had been passed on. Every first born girl since my great grandmother had pre-marital sex and ended up pregnant before they were all married. Well every child born from that side was a first born little girl, not knowing what was on her way.

I just knew my sweet innocent little girl was to follow in the same footsteps that Satan had gripped tight on my family. NOOOOO, I told my self, yet so scared of what would happen to my little girl because of this situation. Well my dear friends, no longer will this continue in my children, and my grand-children, and so on and so on.

I am so excited. On our way down here I talked with my friends about this problem and hole in my heart. Our first meeting was last night and our speaker Miss. Mary Ann Brown, spoke a word related on generational curses, and breaking them. I just thought, wow, that had to be for me.

Our 2nd meeting was this morning and once again she spoke on the same subject, so I knew I was sent the person to fix satan's curse on my family. Well it finally happened tonight at our 3rd meeting, all the ladies were anointed with the holy oil. My My My, how awesome it felt. Words cannot explain the intensity running in my body. Jesus was all around us and I knew he was right next to me. Ladies, Let me tell you something, There is no greater feeling then that feeling. I only hope and Pray you all get the chance to feel what I felt tonight.

When She was done praying over me, I just sang with my friends and then I turned around and saw her, Miss Mary Ann Brown, there I went. straight to her, I lent down and said,

"There is a generational curse in my family, every first born girl back to my great grandmother had pre-marital sex and was all pregnant before marriage, I did the same and I too, had a first born little girl, I don't want my little one to follow in the footsteps of all of us."

She didn't ask one question, she pulled me down to her and began to pray, I have never felt this way, I cried out so loud and couldn't catch my breath. I kept on and kept on . She prayed for so long and then the next thing I knew, there He was once again. Jesus was right by me saying

"It is ok, you children are taken care of because of you being strong and noticing this curse, because you had the courage to come to me, everything will be okay and you have no need to worry any longer. Your children are blessed."

I couldn't believe the relief lifted off of my shoulder. "Congratulations Candace, you did it. now go home and watch your daughter and marriage prosper". Said Miss. Brown.

I cant wait. Everyone. I pray that you too will get the feeling in your life that I got to see and feel tonight. I first told my mother-n-law because she was next to me, she was so proud, and then my friends, and as soon as we were dismissed, I called my wonderful Husband Corey and told him the news. He was so HAPPY!

I Love All of You in Jesus and miss my family and all of my friends.

Special thanks to my wonderful sister for taking care of my little girl last night in the scary storms that I prayed off. Thanks and I love you.

Love Always,

Candace

ReCap!!! A Crazy Full Fun Eventful and Blessed Weekend! How awesome is that?

This weekend was so FULL of many different Events. Where to Begin..... Let's Start with....

Friday:

We were still in from Snow! This was an awesome night Thow.... All day I looked forward to the Roads De-Icing. HA. So that My friend Ginger and I could head over to little rock for the Spaghetti dinner to Benefit Ty McCullar! I prayed everything would be just right, Roads, Weather and so much more so that God could Bless this family with a GREAT turn out for little man!

Well. All in all, The day went well, I waited for Ginger to give me the Call that she was out of school and Free to go!!! That time came and She was still on GO!!! I hopped in the Shower, Got ready so fast, Got the kiddos ready to head over and left. We picked Ginger up at her house. Stopped at Target First to by tons of birthday presents for the 3 parties we had the next day! I left that place with 6 presents total! Ha. We will get to that later though.

We leave target at around 6:45 to make it to the dinner by 7, Well, Gingers Wonderful iPhone lead us into the NOT so Right direction and took us to a dead end road in the middle of a housing addition! yes. we were lost. We finally got back on track and made it there. I kept saying how excited I was to meet this family! God has worked so hard on me since I came across Ty's page. I mean really worked on me. I felt so honored to get to meet his parents!

We got to the door, walked in, I had Calleigh by my side who was holding the Card that held the check to the McCullars that So many had helped Donate to in her hand. Ginger had Camp in her arms for me! I said hello to Ty's mom and introduced myself and told her how much I knew God was working on So Many people by using Ty and how I knew it was a difficult time But I knew he had a plan! She replied with something of the sort by saying, " That is why Ty has this, because, God is using him" I was so humbled. I wanted to cry and she is his mom and was able to be so strong! I have to say, Just by those few words, God has really settled in her heart and she is keeping her Faith so High!!! I love it


.

Ethan and Lauren McCullar (Ty's Parents)

We went on and got our dinner ticket. Made it through the LONG line and got our plate. The food was was yummy. Ginger won a Door Prize! Go Girl, Once we left we headed home. It felt so good to go and donate for the dinner, hand over a check to the family and we left buying a T-Shirt each! Awesome. The McCullar's are so blessed! I think it's safe to say, God has his hand on that Family!

All the guest at the Dinner! Amazing!

Saturday: ( mmmm. Way to much! But oh so much fun )

lets sum this up, 3 parties. Searcy, for Calleighs Friend Ellie's birthday party, Des Arc for Calleigh's Birthday party and Little Rock for Garret, Cambell and Cason's Birthday party! Yes it was a FULL eventful parting day!

I'm going to focus on my birthday girl though!

Birthday Girl!

Calleigh turned 5 on Saturday! I could not help but think back off and on all day long about her birth! She was oh so small! She was born to us at 29 weeks by a sudden surprise. We were not expecting our princess to meet us so soon.

She was Footling breach. This is where the foot is stuck in the Birth Canal! It was one of the most scariest days of my life, Yet the happiest as well!

Calleigh was born on Feb. 12. 2006 at 11:30 pm. 3lbs 7oz and 16 inches long. She was just the size of a baby doll! But smaller at the same time! Once she was born, She was rushed from White County Hospital in Searcy and her daddy and I, By the NICU from Baptist in Little Rock to their hospital!

She spent the next 4 1/2 weeks of her life in a little crib there!!!! That was a time of Faith building, Praying and so much more depending on God then I had ever done or been at before. When a child enters your life. You have no idea the ways God all the sudden puts a complete feeling in your heart of Fully Relying on Him to carry and protect your child through their life! He's Awesome that way.

(Not a really good picture of Corey and I, But this is our little girl! she was 4 1/2 weeks old in this picture and weighed 4lbs 15oz. I think she was only 17 inches long. The picture does not do her justices. She was so Small!)

So, Here we are, 5 years later.... Shes as sassy as ever. We had a Barbie theme this year! So cute. We did More so family at this party. A few friends were there, But not as many as the past birthdays! Her daddy wanted to make her cupcakes this year. So he did, Libby made her Bigger Cupcake for her! So adorable. You need to check out her Facebook!





Calleigh sat with her friends after we sang happy birthday and ate her cake and ice cream and drank her punch. Once she was done, We had Gift time! She tore into them all and her little friends were there by her side helping her along the way!

She does not like having her picture taken!

Nothing like watching the happiness on your little girls face! I am so blessed to have my little lady at home with us today after that long, confusing and scary month of tests, shots, scans, kangaroo Care, praying, and waiting time in the hospital. God is so good to us!

Our Family!

Happy Birthday little princess! I can't believe you are already 5!


Now to Sunday:

We had church. Awesome time. I didn't get to enjoy the message this time! I took the place in nursery for another lady who was helping with potluck after service was over! However. I did get to enjoy the Worship! It was so nice! I just love feeling The Holy spirit move over the church! It's an amazing feeling!

After church was over, we had potluck, Yum! It was good visiting with friends and family! We had a few games they played at the dinner. Calleigh won and so did Corey. We took home a package of Baby Ruths and Yummy Reeces Cups. mmm mmm mmm. So good!

My friend Tasha and I

Me and the Hubbs!

I tanned later in the day and went walking with Leah! The weather was so nice! later, settled in with the family!

Last but not least, Monday: ( Happy Valentines Day everybody!!)

After being out of school for a week from the snow we recently got, I took Calleigh to school! She was so excited to go see her friends. I then went and tanned and then headed to the Gift Shop! after all, it's Valentines day!

I bought Calleigh her Very First Valentines Gift from her daddy and I to be delivered to her at her school! So much fun. We just bought her a small bag full of candy and a balloon w/ a cute card. Camp got a bag with a sweet blue puppy dog in it and a balloon and of course I had to get Corey something! What better then a Box of Chocolates and the Biggest Balloon they had in the shop!






It was of two monkeys attached together at the cheeks and their tails connected making a heart! So cute.

Later, I cleaned like a crazy woman and made my house look way better then it was looking! The weekend kinda settled over the house and it unraveled its self! Corey came home from work for lunch and opened his yummy chocolates. He liked! Camp and I headed up town for Calleigh's Valentines Party at her school! She handed out her cute Bags and Cards. It was hyper land in that room!





We headed to Leah's to let Calleigh and Camp play with Joe and Sam! It was a fun time! Sam is walking now, Way to cute, yet so Odd! he's only 8 months old and so tiny! He's catching up with his older brother and two cousins! :)

Sam Walking!

Calleigh had fun playing with Joe's Guitar! Ha.





We headed home to tell Corey bye for the night! He's now working as a Volunteer for Prairie County Police! So he had to help at the district Tournament. So no Valentines Date for us! I had already told him to not buy a gift for me, However he did, Buy me a Dozen Roses over the weekend when he had a break from the games!




But, I let him know I want to get the other pieces to my bedroom set!

Someone has been in the Chocolate! :)

The kids and I headed to Searcy to buy Calleigh a gift from one of her gift cards she got from her party! She picked two movies. Strawberry Short Cake and The Reef! She had so much fun picking them out! I grabbed a few groceries and then we left for Chic-Fil-A to have dinner with my Dad! He was my Valentines Date! A good date to. We ate, Talked, Laughed and let the kids play!





Now, I'm home, telling you all about my Very Eventful Weekend. To close, I think I'm changing Camp's Dr. Monkey still has not pooped out the knob he ate 2 weeks ago today! I need a second opinion! So Say a prayer I get a good Dr tomorrow! God Bless,

Prayers for Ty

Hi Everyone,

Most of you who read my Blog or Follow me on Facebook know that I have really been requesting prayer for this sweet little man Ty.


He is so adorable and needs all the prayers he can get. I had Blogged a couple weeks back I believe about a Fundraiser Dinner His family and friends were putting on for him and his parents to raise funds for Financial Relief!

The dinner is tomorrow night and this is what was posted latest on his Facebook page for those Who are keeping up with this sweet Angel! I hope you all take time to read over it and pray for the Prayers Requested at the end of it.

Im hoping so badly that the roads and other things will be good and fall in place tomorrow so that I can make it and meet this Family! They have been so dear to my heart for about a month now after reading Ty's Story! Below will be a link to make a Donation or Donations if you feel led to! Take time to pray about it and Donate what you feel the Lord tells you to. He knows their needs more then we do!

From the 'Prayers for Ty' Facebook Page:

‎2-10-11 I spoke with Cis tonight in detail regarding the Big Fundraiser tomorrow night from 7 to 10 for The McCullar Family. Where the snow has certainly slowed things up a bit, all is going well and is still scheduled as planned. The evening is casual.....plan to come enjoy some great food and enjoy good friends! I... am looking very forward to meeting as many of you as I can. The co-workers, classmates, family, etc. that love Ethan, Lauren, and our Littleman, Ty. Ethan and Lauren have a need. As I was speaking with one of my dearest friends tonight on the phone, she put it like this....it's called "Paying It Forward." That is what all of you are doing for Lauren and Ethan right now. We are all so blessed in so many ways and I truly believe God will continue to bless all of us.

According to Lauren, Ty had a good restful day. His granddad (Lauren's Dad) is still with them. Ty will have more lab work tomorrow to continue to check his numbers.
Specific Prayer Request:
1. Good lab results tomorrow for Littleman.
2. Safe travels for those traveling tomorrow.
3. A better nursing situation for Lauren and Ethan.
4. And for Ethan and Lauren to feel Gods presence each and everyday and know HE is working for THEM behind the scenes everyday.

All the Best,

Snow, Chili Dogs, and some Amazing CREAM!!!!

So we all know, Well all of us in Arkansas know that We Old man Winter made a pit stop on the State Wednesday!!!! I believe we around here have gotten about 5 inches of Snow! It is BEAUTIFUL.

Monday: 2-7-2011

Calleigh was out of School on Monday from a quick shower of snow. I think they could have at least went in an hour late or so, But they were out.

Tuesday: 2-8-2011

She went back on Tuesday and We were glad b/c her daddy, Camp and I along with Aunt Leah and her cousins Joe and Sam all took Cupcakes up to her school. Calleigh's 5th Birthday is This upcoming Saturday and we wanted to celebrate with her class mates! We Sang Happy Birthday and then all the kids got a Cupcake! It was simple and fun. I joked after we were done saying " All birthday Parties should be this easy " Ha! However. I love a Good Birthday Party. :)

Calleigh, I'm pretty sure you were so excited to have us come up. Once we walked in the door, the first thing you said, was " Mom, your hear, Mom, your hair is Blond" This would be because I had my hair Highlighted Blond Tuesday! I love it.

You sat so good at your chair in the lunch room with all of your friends and Joe and Camp by your side! It was so cute! once you were done. We loaded up and headed home.

Later that night, I took you to your HIPPY Group meeting up at the Town's Library! You got a Library Card and was so excited about it. Now, we need to plan a trip to go and check out your first book! We headed Home and settled in to wait on the SNOW!!!!

Wednesday: 2-9-2011

We woke up and the ground was normal. "WHAT, Wheres the snow?" We thought. little did we know it was on its way! By 9am it was pouring in. The ground covered so quickly and cars too! It was Beautiful outside.


The snow flakes were so fluffy and the gusts of wind made it look like a Blizzard at times!

Calleigh and Camp, you both just stood at the window and door watching it poor down. You were both so cute. Once we laid you down for naps, daddy and I rented 'Life As We Know it ' on Paper View. it was such a cute movie. I loved it. Corey left at one point for about 3 minutes to go Sledding with his brother Casey then came back. He said, it was too Cold!

We made Tacos for dinner. Watched American Idol that night and just lounged!

Thursday: 2-10-2011

We woke up to Sunshine, and a Yard full of WHITE! everything looks so pretty outdoors. At around 10:30, Aunt Leah and Joe came down to pick us up on the Ranger. We could not get out of our drive way. Two Wheel Drive cars/trucks don't work so well in these conditions. We took, both of you and Joe down the road to some Pine Trees and let yall play in the snow. Of course we were there to capture the moments!






Poor Camper, Your glove came off and you did not let it stop you. You were still picking up the snow and eating it. After a while, your little hand turned Beat Red and you begin to cry so badly. I knew your tiny hand was freezing. Calleigh, you were just consumed with getting back home so that we could make a snow man. Ha! Joe, kept repeating: " mon, Hamp, make a 'Noman'. So cute. I just love my nephew!

We headed home and then had to join in with all the others and make some Snow Ice Cream. I have never done this before and Ginger is always telling me to make some. After Aunt Leah had told me how easy it was and good too, I decided I would make it with both of you! I grabbed the Measuring Cup and headed outside. You both just stood at the window and watched as I scooped up the Snow!

I headed back in and Daddy took over. HA!. Both of you were at his side. Once daddy was done. We Gobbled it up! both of you LOVED it! So did I! :)



We ate left over Chili Dogs for lunch. YUM! Yes we ate dessert before lunch!



Calleigh, You for some reason became so Photogenic all of the sudden. You never like to smile or pose for me, But for some reason, you started striking these poses and saying " take my picture" Of coures I did. A moment like this is so Rare! Ha.. You have such a Personality! I love you so much!


You both laid down for naps and a little while later, My Friend Tasha and her little boy Ty came over. We chatted for a while and laughed. the kids had fun together. We pretty much talked about kids, and what they do to your mind, body, life. Ha! don't get me wrong little ones. Daddy and I love you more then you Will EVER KNOW!!!! But mommy's have a stress level at times. :)

I was telling Tasha about how I got stretch Marks with Camp. BAD ones. Not so bad with Calleigh at all. However, little princess you did come Really early! Now, Camp, You decided to bake a little longer, Which I was so proud of, But you also gave mommy the Gift of Stretch Marks. You didn't hold back either! haha.

I told Tasha how I really wanted this Cream Called Celltrixa to help with the appearance of stretch marks, But it was so pricey. She and I just laughed. They went home later on.

I went out to check the mail a few hours later. Calleigh you got a birthday card in the mail from Ma and PaBill. once you opened it, The expression on your face was unforgettable! I love when you do this look! Such a look of Happiness!

Counting your $5.00 they gave you! Were putting it in your savings account tomorrow!

After while I got a Text from Tasha asking If we were home or still up? I told her yes. and she then said she had something for me and she was on her way to bring it over! I was wondering, "Hummm, What could it be?" She pulled up, walked in and handed me a bottle......



Oh YES!!!!! I was more then Excited. She said she had ordered some forever ago and had this bottle left over that had never been used. Ha. lets just say this was my expression.....



Yeah, I was pretty happy! Well that pretty much sums up our day. Oh. I forgot, Calleigh, You decided to show me the newest trick you learned at Pre-K.

You said " Mom, look what I can do" I turned around and you were Flipping me off. and then Moms face looked like this....


Once daddy walked in and I told him what you had done, you were in tears from the spanking he gave you. Sorry little girl, We love you enough to show you what you will get for things like that. You may be 4,but We love you to much to let you learn and then act on such things. Not Nice! You later said you were sorry!

Camp, You still have not passed your knob. PLEASE .... I'm begging. Please pass that thing, Mommy's nose can't take any more!

All the Best,
