We All Are Unique

Today I went to an in service in Cookeville today. My mind is running wide open with ideas from today. I took away from our in service NO ONE IS THE SAME. We are all unique and none to be copied. Although some may try, they will not succeed no matter to what extent they go.

I have a true friend who does wonderful things and I would love to be her, but I will never be. I am blessed to have her in my life and cherish our friendship greatly. If I could copy someone it would be her for sure. We all have to walk down our own paths and do our own things. We may do similar things and that is fine. It is unjust to judge a book by it's cover.

As I search things I find lots of similarities, but there is one thing that always comes through. It is our colors, they can not be hidden long. We need to be our own person and not try to be a carbon copy of someone else. When we do that we are keeping the real person from those around us. You are only hurting your true friends.

So my thought is that be an individual and a leader. Some are not suited for leaders, but they make great followers and encourage us throughout our lives. These are the people who keep the leaders strong. As the saying goes their is a good woman behind a good man. God made us all unique and how boring would our live be if we were all alike.

July 4th Is Coming.

July 4th will be here soon. Sonya and I talked yesterday and caught up on all the gossip. We were talking and she said that Maddy needed a red, white and blue bow. This is my Curlz bow. They are really fun to make. I hope you like it Maddy.

Last Minute Cuties

This is the cutest idea. If you have a golfer in your life this is for them.
The little poem goes, "You say you've lost too many balls, The course is just too tough? Just plant these little golf ball seeds, And soon you'll have enough! This is just too cute. I put jaw breakers in a jar and made a little cover for the lid. I also made one for another special golfer.
The boys had a ball making these cakes for their grandpa's. Papa Harry's was delivered yesterday, but Papa Earl's is still here. The boys and I had a good time this week getting everything ready for tomorrow. They have Shawn's presents and they are having a fit to give it to him, but I think were on the O.K. I hope everyone has a great FATHER'S DAY tomorrow.

Baby Shower Idea

Here is a cute idea for a baby shower. These little pacifiers are made of lifesavers, jelly beans and cookie icing. We had a baby shower at church Sunday for baby Weston and I made these. Girls these are so easy to make and cute to decorate with also.
Weston's room is going to be John Deere so I used yellow, green and blue jelly beans. I used wintergreen lifesavers, but found some that were orange flavor and still white. I will use them next time. You use the icing to glue the two lifesavers together and let them dry first. They need to dry about 4 hours. After they dry you put a dab of icing in the center and stick the jelly bean on. I saw this in a magazine and thought it was cute. We put ours in the back of a wagon hooked onto a toy tractor for a center piece. It would also be cute to run curly ribbon through the hole and hand them on a branch made to look like a tree for a center piece. Clint and Curtis had a ball helping me make these.

Clint's The Big 10

My, my how time flies. Just yesterday he was a little bundle depending on me for everything. Now, he does it all. Clint has made his dad and I very proud. He is so headstrong that when he sets his mind to it, it does get done. I guess you could say he's the Gitter-Done guy.
My heart fills with pride and my eyes with tears when he leads prayer. I am so amazed at how wonderful his prayers are. They absolutely touch my heart. Clint we are so very proud of the young man you are becoming. He loves to hunt and play football. Just look at the baby picture and his football picture, he has grown up so fast. We love you very much.
Clint shared his special day with some friends they swam and jumped on the trampoline. The chocolate cupcakes with Reese's cups inside were a big hit. He loves chocolate and Reese's. He is his mother's child. Kristen is to the left, Ethan (aka E man), Courtney, Keaton, Clint and of course his little bro. Curtis. The kids had a good time. When Shawn got home Clint choose to eat at Ming's Buffet. I think we all got our tummies full. We took a little trip to Murfreesboro last Friday to celebrate too. I hope all my kiddo's from Westwood are having a great summer. I miss you guys already.

Summer Time

Oh, yeah! It's summer time. We are having a great time so far. We are enjoying our trampoline ( which now has the cage around it). You never know who might show up and jump with us. We love having company. If anyone wants to come hang out with us just yell and well plan a fun day.

This picture just goes to show how little it takes to entertain some kid's. This pool is just tiny and the kids managed to have way fun with it today. They were busy for several hours. I love to get wet with them, but my English class is keeping me busy. I am loving it though. The kids are looking forward to our little adventure in July and they are already asking when school will start back. I hope everyone has good time this week! Hey Kelly, I bet you on the post. You need to update your blog! lol.
