Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

Today we have a very special thing to be Thankful for. Today is Mom's birthday. According to my boys she is the best cook ever. Clint loves his granny's gravy, biscuit, eggs and all that. Curtis loves to spend the night with granny and of course all the John Deere stuff too. Thanks for all the little treat you have in your purse for us at church. You give so much to everyone and expect so little back. We are truly blessed to have you in our lives. We Love You Very Much. Have a happy Birthday. See you tonight.

What We Are Thankful For

Today Curtis was home with pneumonia. We took him Sunday to see the doctors for an ear infection and found out he had pneumonia. So after a long day home with dad, he was ready for some mommy time. We talked about the things we were thankful for. Curtis said that he was thankful for his Friends and Family.

When Clint got home I asked him what are you thankful for and he replied everything. I ask but what and he said his brother and Pa and Granny Turner. He said he was lucky to still have them around.

Our conversations around the tree tonight as we were putting it up was pretty teary eyed. It is amazing at how deep these kids can be. Sometimes I have to remember they are still just babies. By the way our tree looks great. The boys did a great job with it.

Now I am thankful for my Family, Friends, my Class and the many blessing the Lord has chosen to give to me. Someone told me if you put your Christmas tree up before Thanksgiving you are not Thankful. Boy, how wrong is that. Me and the boys talked about how blessed and thankful we were while we were putting up the tree. They found their First Christmas ornaments and just thought they were the cutest things ever. They love to look at all my ornament the kids give me over the years and I can actually remember who gave them to me. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and is safe if you travel.

Make sure you come by Bath and Body Friday Morning from 6:00 until 1:00 and see me. There are going to be some good buys girls. A free gift if you make a $30 purchase. It is worth the wait. Hope to see you bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Christmas Times A Coming.

O.k. so I know Thanksgiving is not here yet, but we have to start early now days. This is one of my Rudolph hair bows. I have made several with different colors. I also have Santa I can do. I also have some Christmas ribbon with snowmen, snowflakes and candy cane stripes. Rudolph and Santa are only $6.

Happy Early Thanksgiving

These were gifts for our moms at school for Thanksgiving. The kids had a ball making them. Mrs. Glenda's dad pick up these little flag/shop cloths at an auction and sent them to us to use for something.
We made these little turkeys out of the kids hands. I think this is something that parents will treasure forever. We told our parents to hang on to their dowel rods, because there was more to come.

This is the little poem we put with them. I hope they enjoy them. Mom you will be getting one of the boys. I'll be posting the others as we do them. I am still unsure of what to do for Christmas with their hands, so if you have a suggestion please let me know.

Thank You Dad!

Today we are celebrating Veterans Day. We need to take time to stop and think about all the ones that lost their lives fighting for our freedom. My Dad was one that went off to Vietnam and fought for our freedom. We were very lucky that he came home. When dad went to fight there was no big home coming for those guys when they came home. Many men lost their homes, jobs and family while they were fighting for our freedom. Today there are many vets that are homeless and some that are mentally ill due to things that went on during their tour. I feel it should be our governments place to help them with a hand up, after all they fought for our freedom. I think they are the forgotten few.

There are several military men in our family and today I want to stop and say thank you for all you done for our country. Today would not be possible if you had not done your job while oversees. If you get a chance today, stop and shake a veterans hand or give them a hug and tell them thanks for the sacrifice they made.

My Six

I have been tagged by Annett at Toadliy Handmade Cards for this meme. I'm to tell 6 of my habits or things about me, and post the rules to the game.

* The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
* Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.* At the end of the post, the player then tags people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

My Six:
1. When I get mad or really upset I cry.
2. My spelling is the worst. I am sure some of you have noticed it in my posting.
3. I love to set and watch old reruns of Mamma's Family, Fresh Prince of Bel air and Good Times.
4. The first thing I notice in a person is their smile. My husband has a beautiful smile.
5. My bedroom is done in Real Tree Camouflage. Hey it was a trade off for a new living room group.
6. I like to sneak in before I get the boys up and just sit on their beds and watch them sleep. They grow up so fast.

Now I am tagging Holly Sizemore and Holly Hodges.

Hey girls, if your looking for a girls day out come and join us Saturday for The Christmas Closet at Covenant Fellowship Church. Several of us craft bloggers will be showing our crafts. The fun starts at 9:00 until 12:00. Come out and do some early Christmas shopping. Hope to see you there.

A Hunting We Will Go

Last Saturday was the BIG Juvenile Hunt. That's pretty special around her with all these boys. Mom didn't get left out, I was up at 4:30 helping them all get out and ready. I almost didn't get this picture. I was told I was cutting in on hunting time. I was ready for bed again after they left.

Shawn and the boys got set up and I think Curtis slept in his chair in the blind. Clint was so excited, not long after they set up a doe came into sight and he was shaking like a leaf. That was the moment I wish I could have been there for, but that's a Dad thing. He couldn't get a clear shot. They saw a couple buck, but nothing close enough to shoot. Clint has Buck Fever now. He trying to talk his Dad into a new muzzle loader now. I can't wait to see what happens, because Shawn has been wanting a new one and this is looking like a good excuse for one.... Have a great weekend.

Another Year Older

My husband surprised me Thursday with a birthday cake. I had a great birthday. I got some really neat gifts at school, and of course some green from Mom & Dad and my Hubby too. Tab you'll be getting a call soon.

I think when we get older you tend to look back on your life and remember how wonderful it has been and how blessed you are to celebrate another year. I think that God gives you only what you can handle, even though sometimes you feel you are spinning out of control. We just have to put our trust in him and have faith.

I got a call from my Uncle Elma on Thursday morning before I left for work. That was pretty special, because he is going through some pretty tough times himself. I felt privileged that he thought of me and called to say Happy Birthday. It's not all about the hoop la, its all the little things. It's the wonderful post that people leave about you and all the friends you have made over the years and all the loved ones you've lost. It is a shame that only a few times a year we reflect on our lives. We should do it everyday and be thankful for the time the Lord has given us here. I think that with my passing birthday, I am going to concentrate on the here and now and let tomorrow worry about itself. We loose sight of things in our crazy day. We need to stop and see all the wonders that God has created for us and be thankful.

Thanks for all the Birthday wishes Girls. I love you all. Have a great day.
