A Mother of Boys

I just had a magical moment with Baby Whitty & thought, "I have to write this down so I will remember it forever." AND THEN . . .he was a boy . . .
Here is how the story goes:
Every night I rock Whitty for a few minutes & sing him songs before bed. We sing "Amazing Grace" every night & usually throw in some Zaccheus & Twinkle Twinkle. Anyway tonight he started to sing "Amazing Grace" with me! I thought this is wonderful to hear him say "grace" & think this song will carry him through his toughest times & will minister to him his whole life . . . my child is on the way to be a great Dove Award winning Christian musician! AND THEN . . .
"Poopy Mommy" followed by a 2 year old laugh, "Burpy Mommy," also followed by a two year old laugh. "Mommy you burp, OK."
Why do little boys learn bathroom words before they learn at least 2 verses to "Amazing Grace?" Why do little boys even like bathroom words?
I love my boys, but I promise I have never heard Bay, the Princess, standing in the bathroom saying burp & ti-ti & laughing hysterically. "Mommy you said not to say bafroom words at the table so we came to the bafroom." (from WFM5, age 3)
Grace even covers bathroom words.
So on the night Baby Whitty wins his Dove Award for best artist, let's all remember this post & laugh in our hearts at God's sense of humor.
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 ...

HOW???

How is it time for Summer? How are we buying teacher gifts? How have I registered my baby girl for her senior year of high school? How have we had 5 days of soccer try-outs & we are only halfway through? How are we scheduling senior portraits & ordering senior jerseys? How are 2 of them taller than me with bigger feet? How do they make their own plans & inform me of what they are? How do we have 1.5 drivers at our house? How do they stay up later than me? How is all this happening so fast? HOW?
