PHOTOSHOP ILLITERATE!!!!

Ok..so I finally hit a milestone in figuring out how to do stripes on photoshop and I am ecstatic! Then I figured out how to make them lighter and darker...GO ME!! Well, here is the problem... if the picture is any larger it will go behind the last two stripes as well as the writing..which is weird!! UH..WHY is it doing this??? If you know, PLEASE let me know! By the way I tried to download it to here and it wouldn't do it so if you know how to do that to let me know.

Cute Little Turkey!!

I just couldn't resist showing you this picture. He is the sweetest thing. There is no better thing than being a mother. I am so blessed that God finally allowed us to have a baby. I know that it was all in his timing. But it was so hard to wait and go through all the fertility treatments and hardships of Boomer's sickness and more waiting. God was really teaching us patience and trust and faith. Grant was SO SO worth the wait....any baby is. They are truly a gift from the Lord.

My 30th Birthday!!

Here is a picture of the beautiful necklace that my wonderful husband got for me. Isn't it beautiful!! He is so wonderful and the best! I am so blessed to have him in my life. He has been so loving and understanding through this tough year. I love you Boom!!

I am the big 3-0 today!! I feel no different! HAHA! I am just blessed to be living another healthy day with my family! Boomer and I went to Hattiesburg last night to get my birthday present....he waited till the last minute, imagine that!! However, I am glad that he did...I got a great gift!! He and I think A LOT alike. He knew that I wanted a journey necklace and we saw one last weekend that I loved. So we went back and got it. I got to pick it out. He did good..even though he had some help!!!

We went to my mom's for lunch today and celebrated with my sister and her family and of course none other but chocolate cake. It was a great day!!

Grant's Room

Well, I have finally finished Grant's room..at least for now. There are still a few touches I want to do and probably won't get to but oh well. I like it a lot. I painted it a darker brown. It was a lighter khacki. The canvases (That might be spelled wrong!) were painted by me. I got ideas looking on other blogs and from friends. I spent my whole spring break doing it. I didn't mind though because I enjoy doing things like that. The fourth picture down, the sideways picture, one of my students' mother painted it for me for my baby shower that they gave me. It was a surprise!! And boy was I surprised. I miss Flowood!!!

Well, this is my last day to be 29!!! LIVE IT UP!!!

Can I Please???

THIS PICTURE DESCRIBES HOW I FEEL!!!!!!

Wow, what a week!! Have you ever wanted to just beat your head against a brick wall????Well, today I do! If I said something to my school kids one time, I said it 15,000,000,000.....LITERALLY!! I told my kids to read their books and when they got finished they could take an AR test. We have 3 computers in our room, so I said when one person gets up, you may get up and go take a test without asking me. I was TRYING to grade papers..I bet 10 little angels came up to ask me if they could take a test. I just laid my head on my desk and just thought ,"You have got to be kidding me!! What planet were you just on??" There were plenty more incidences but I won't bore you.

GUESS WHAT?! I WASHED MY CAR! IT HASN'T BEEN WASHED SINCE GRANT WAS BORN. ISN'T THAT TERRIBLE? BUT WHO HAS THE TIME OR ENERGY...I WANT TO SPEND IT WITH GRANTSTER!

Well, I was going to landscape my yard this weekend but it looks like we are getting 1000% rain!! I am so disappointed. However, SUNDAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! I WILL BE THE BIG

3-0!!! I am okay with it..I am not one of those that stresses about that milestone or should I say MIDLIFE CRISIS!

My First Taste of Strawberries!

Grant had strawberries for the first time last night. That may be one of those fruits that you are not supposed to give them until they are one but we did not give him much at all...and no allergic reactions. It was so funny how he reacted to the taste!!! You can see in the pictures that it was a bit sour at first!! HAHA!! PRICELESS!!

Grant is standing alone a lot...he will be walking soon!!!! Here he stays in the bathroom with us in the mornings while we get ready at 5 in the morning!!!! He was watching Daddy take a shower!!

Well, here is a picture of our house! I managed to click the button just as the camera went dead!!!!! We are very blessed and are enjoying it. We hope that you all can come and visit. Yes, We are still working on the grass part! We actually planted grass and have it up by the road and fence but it washed away the closer it got to the house! Imagine that.....It has been a muddy mess, but at least it isn't red clay still!!!

My First Post

Well, I have FINALLY entered the world of blogging and am so excited!! I can't wait to figure out all of this stuff and how to work it!!

We are finally moved in and settled in to our house. We are enjoying it. I will have to send you a picture of it as soon as I go outside to take one!!!

Grant is getting so big!! I can't believe he will be 1 in May! I am so sad that he is getting so big TOO fast! He loves to play Peek-a-boo with you...he will duck down and hop up like a jack in the box and just giggle!! It is the sweetest thing! He is getting ready to walk. He is letting go and standing on his own. It won't be long! He also, LOVES the outside! If he ever falls, go outside...INSTANT MEDICINE!!!

We are really missing being in Flowood. We miss everything about it. Boomer misses being a cop and I miss teaching there. We miss our friends and most of all Pinelake. Not another church quite like that one! I don't want to base my spiritual life soley on church, but I think that it is a HUGE part of it. At least it is for me. It really fills me up and gets me going and keeps me going. It is what I need. I guess it is different for different people. I want to raise Grant there and experience the greatness. I just love it there.

Who knows, we may be back soon enough??? We are praying about it.
