A Martin Minute

A "Happy Birthday!" to my Uncle Bill. Yes, I am a day late, but the fabulous singing my kids did on your voicemail tonight should make up for that. I am so sorry that VBS falls close to your Bday & you don't always get a card - just the kids singing on the phone. If you do not know my Uncle Bill he is AWESOME! My kids love him & I think they think that Uncle Bill is coming to see them in a few weeks instead of coming for Maggie's wedding. So for all of you coming with Uncle Bill watch out they will probably come out of the gates running to him. Yes, they love everyone, but there is something special about Bill. So Happy Bday & we cannot wait to see you. I will make up for the lateness of this by letting you spend more time with the kiddos in a few weeks - yes, you should be excited about this. So, the zoo, our sweet Auntie Kim came to Bham with her niece & nephew today & we took the kids to the zoo. We love the zoo! They have a train, an Auburn tig

I mentioned in an earlier post that we took SuperDaddy to lunch, dinner & a movie for FAther's Day. But a perk of having a blog is that I get to say a lot of things about a lot of people - including SuperDaddy & our other daddies. SuperDaddy is also known as SuperHubby. He works hard all day everyday & supports our little family. He is supportive of this crazy mommy & loves his kiddos more than anything in this world. Now if you are talking about SuperDaddy then you need to mention his daddy - Poppa. We love our Poppa at this house. He is always doing things for my precious kiddos and always lets us visit and fixes some mean homemade ice cream. My kiddos love their Poppa and can only wait for him to get back to town so we can celebrate Father's Day with him. We also have us a Poppy. My daddy loves being a grandfather! (all 7 times) He loves his babies & making sure they are at his house at least once a week. Many times daddy calls to invite everyone

He thinks he is as big as everybody else. Sweet girls doin' a BFF cheer Boys lovin' the ball machine We have been busy little bees at this house. Here are a few shots of our try at bowling. The extra little girl is a sweet friend of Bay's who is too cute for words. The kids LOVED it! We may become bowlin' fools. We have finished VBS & had a lot of fun! Mommy is exhausted, but thrilled with how it all went. Yesterday was Father's Day so we celebrated SuperDaddy & all his awesomeness by taking him to lunch, dinner & ToyStory 3. We all loved this movie. On the way home from the movies last night we passed our Bay's sweet friend's house & we all said "hey Emily!" I joked around & said "Whitty, Emily has a little sister that is cute & is 3 years old." Whitty said "Whoa awesome . . ." We all laughed the rest of the way home. More later, Jocelyn

I have found the long-lost camera =) I love having a camera! . . . Wait I put it in the diaper bag, now where did I put the diaper bag? Okay, it is 11PM - I will post pics tomorrow.

I believe I have a new favorite holiday - National Free Doughnut Day! I LOVE Krispy Kreme! Of course when I told my kiddies this they laughed & then Bay got serious & said that her favorite holiday was still Christmas b/c it is about God. I really do love God more than anything, but I have to tell you it was one good doughnut=) ~Jocelyn

Sweet Bay has been out with the stomach bug. (Don't let Whitt hear you say "stomach bug" because then he goes & looks for a bug.) We have signs that she may be on the mend. We are going to be stuck in the house for a few days & that is hard for this VBS Director to do . . . I knew VBS was going way too well. We are praying hard that no one else gets whatever she has. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! We are missing our cousins that have all left town to go on vacation, but we will be back with them all next week. I have yet to find my camera & obviously have not been out to get the disposable one developed. We had a good Memorial Day at Mamaw's lake house. She is always so sweet to share her space with our wild crew. We have VBS June 14 - 18 & then cannot wait for July when we get to see SOOO much of our family thanks to sweet Aunt Maggie for getting married so our TN family comes to visit. We will see our Martin amily cousins A LOT in July when we travel togeth
