This is how it goes


The picture on the left with my 3 sweeties on the stairs was one of my smartest mommy moves yet. Let me explain . . . as a mom of 3 talkative kiddos I hear many pleas of injustice (aka tattling) they all seem to be something of the utm
most importance so after many quiet moments while they were playing upstairs I heard it ending, I heard small tears (those that you know are purely for show) & then I heard the sibling to blame for those tears begging for him not to come tell me what happen. So as they all came down the stairs I asked them to stop so I could take a picture. Notice in the picture there are NO tears & everyone is smiling. This happened in a matter of seconds - amazing. So I am not sure what happen, but it was forgotten & no one tattled or got in trouble or passed blame. They were friends. So whatever this unknown incident was it is taken care of & I did not have to get mad at anyone. (At least it is taken care of until it comes up in therapy 25 years down the road from now.)
The picture on the right is of my 2 boys & cousin Thomas a.k.a "T" on their way to school. No, we do not walk, I need the stroller so I can keep up with three active boys amongst the other mommies trying to keep up with their active kiddos. We have too much fun!
Sweet Bay has not been feeling well this weekend & we hope she is better by Tuesday to go on a field trip.
For those of you who read my blog post about prayers needed (www.laylagrace.org) - prayers are still needed as this sweet little girl is still hanging on & her parents are praying continuously.
His Child, Jocelyn

Happy New Year 2025!

 Well, the end of 2024 caught us a little off-guard. So I am little late . . .  2024 started off with WFM5 turning 18! CRAZY! In the middle of 2024 Bay turned 21! CRAZY! Whitty is 17 & Baby Lee is in middle school! CRAZY! How can they be this old? How can 2 live in another city? How can the hubby be 50??! We had a lot of fun this year, we traveled & tailgated. We laughed & laughed some more.  We also grew this year inside & out, in times of tears & joy. We lost our sweet friend - Kim Haynes, our Auntie Kim. We had moments of telling her daughter that Mommy went to Heaven, we had hard conversations & times to say goodbye.  We had times of telling EK how wonderful her momma was. 2024 also sent another to AUBURN! Momma may have cried the whole way home. But to see him thrive brought Momma such joy.  Baylor (21) is studying education at AU & is having a blast with her cute friends, in her cute house. She stays busy with schools, concerts ...

I am going .. .

In the middle of a boring Super Bowl we put the kiddos in some pjs. So as I was getting the Baby a fresh diaper I told WFM5 to get his clothes off so we could put pjs on him. Now something you may not know about WFM5 is that some nights he sleeps with JUST pjs on. Who knows?? So anyway he took off his underwear & Marty said "Wait buddy leave on your underwear." What is a boy to say to that? "No daddy - I am going blonde tonight." WHAT? He meant "commando" TOO CUTE! ~jocelyn

Birthdays & the Zoo

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...
