A Month Full of Birthdays

So July has to be the busiest month - I mean seriously how many people are born in this month?
Okay so I am about to cheat & roll a BUNCH of birthday post in to 1. Sorry, I love you all but we will also blame this on getting ready for the wedding.
SuperT - my fabulous nephew. I hope you always stay this cool & I am going to force you to always be Whitty's friend. I love you!
My sweet Shelby, can y'all believe one of my flower girls will be 16 in a few hours. You are beautiful inside & out.
My cousin Ann - everytime I see you I love you more. You are so cool
My friend Mandy - I miss you - have a fun bday & come visit soon.
Nanny (my grandmother) & MaMaw Murphree (Marty's grandmother) - fabulous greaet-grandmothers are you both. I realized tonight that both of you are beautiful, strong Southern women who have lost children and husbands and have stayed strong. 1 of those is a tragedy enough on its own, but both & to be as strong as you are is inspiring. Thank you for being role models.
My MIL has still not kicked me out of town so she wins a prize for that. I happen to be one of the most neurotic mommies & she stills helps whenever.
Our JoJo - I call her ours because the whole family embraces her & she us. Seriously, how do people rais ekids without a JoJo & Uncle Ste?
**Sidenote: I just realized that the 2 people I named my 3rd baby after were born in July**
My dear friend Auntie Kim - we love you & are glad you are closer, you may regret moving closer to us, but we already love it & you
Bay - gets her own post on her bday
Last, but not least, my Daddy (yes, I still call him that). He is the man that led me to Christ. He is our Poppy - what does one do without a poppy? He has been there at all 3 births & one of the first 3 people to hold all my babies I love you Daddy.
Happy Bday to all & to all another fun year! Love, Jocelyn
PS if I have forgotten anyone it is midnight so I will write more later

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?

My favorite neighbors ~ you know who you are & thank you for always helping & being a part of our family.  I love that some came over last night to cook spicy ramen, because they knew my kitchen would be open.  I love that we can walk in without knocking & that Dr. Peppers get left on my doorstep. I am thankful for Dr. Pepper! I am thankful for Chicken-Moo! PSALM 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, H...
