The best toys...

are the ones you get for free......

The horse vs Mr. Man

The horse...

it looks so sweet and cute!

It is pink after all..Mr. Man thinks it is ok

Maybe I can touch it
Or maybe not....

Horse zero

Mr. Man 1

He just did not think too much of that horse!

The Diva will be happy to know

that Mr. Man wants

to give her, her toy back

My World

Why is it so hard to be

so cute?Her fake smile...

Her silly happy smile




I got one!

A good picture of them together....

But.....that was the only one
he was going to let me get

My world...

Last day and Mother's Day Tea

The Diva had her last day of school and it was

also Mother's Day Tea.

They sang us a few songs, gave us some gifts

and got their character awardsThe Diva got the character award for

Faith

Visualizing what God intends to do in a given

situation and acting in harmony with it.

Hebrews 11: 1
I was so very proud of her!

It was so hard to

watch The Diva say goodbye

to all her friends and teachers.

I was in tears when they gave her a little gift.

I had more tears that day

than she did.

Her school was amazing!

If I could pack it up

and move it with us

I sure would.

Everyone at the school

has a true passion for what they do.



If you are ever at Fort Hot and need

a good Christian school

I know of a great one!

House vs Home

To watch complete strangers

box and pack your home

can take a toll on ones soul.When we put our home on the market

the realtor told me

I had to let go...

But this is the room

both my babies came home to

The place they took their 1st step, said their
1st word.


Now I had stangers in my home
packing away all our memories

At the end of the day that
big truck had our life in it

Our home was no longer that

It was just a house...

All my memories will still be with me....

It might have felt like that truck

had our whole life inside it, but

I still had my world with me.

No matter where we go...

or how often we have to move

As long as the 4 of us are together

I have my world!

I40 River!

After closing on the house on the

28th we hit the road on Saturday

to head back to Fort Hot.

We had a date with the packers and

the moving truck.

The day started with rain

and lots of weather warnings

on the radio. About 195 miles

into the trip we hit some traffic.

We sit on the road

for about 45 minutes

before we started to move again.

The reason for the little pit stop

was a small mudslide

and a tree on the road.We then made it about 30 more miles

before the road turned into a parking lot.

After a little over a hour we started to move.

Only to realize why traffic had stopped.

I40 was a river!!!!

The water was over the road!

I was ready to camp out in the SUV over night

and hope that it was better the next day.

Mr. PC was sure that we would be ok.

With him at the wheel and a lot of prayers

we made our way across the river.

It looks ok from this picture, but you can

start to see the water on the road.

I was glad to be going west, because the east side had

a lot more water.

View out my window.

It had to suck for them.

The "grass" area between the east and west

side of I40 was a pool.

I hope they all got off safe and sound.

I am not sure I would have a been as brave

as the young girl in this car.

We then only made it 19 miles down I40 when we stopped

to eat. The plan was to have lunch in Jackson, TN, but

we made it at dinner time. Traffic on I40 east was

a parking lot for 10 miles.

While we had dinner the waiter told us I40 west was closed.

We got a hotel room and watched the weather channel all night.

We were very blessed to make it off I40 and to find a room.

Some people got stuck on I40 for 12 hours and some

even got to ride the storm out in thier cars.

About 3am we got to go hang out in the 1st floor hallway because

the tornado alarm was going off.

We got back to our room around 4:30 am

and had to put two little ones back to sleep.

The next day we hit the road.

This was farm land!

I saw many homes with water to the door of the home.

We did make it home on Sunday after a long day in the car.

My heart breaks for the people in that area.

Some of them have lost eveything.

Sold

It is our new house!We are the proud owners of two homes.

I still remember sitting on the couch
with Mr. PC and piece of paper.
We did a budget to see if I would
be able to stay home with kids
if and when we had them. We just never could
have dreamed we could buy a house at that time.
Fast foward to 6.5 years later
we have 2 kids and 2 homes.If you know anyone wanting to move
to Fort Hot we have a nice house on the market
that they could buy.
