Moments

Moments of fun & laughter.
Moments of tears.
Moments of fear.
Moments of joy.
All these moments are times when we need to remind ourselves - GOD IS SOVEREIGN!

As I sat at the hospital today I sat with some of my original gang I cried.  God placed me in this family in HIS omniscient plan we are where we are supposed to be.  The hospital waiting room was not on our radar, but on HIS.  It was there we prayed & cried & laughed & counted our Mom as one of our top blessings.

Prayers - the C word is scary.
Prayers - for doctor's steady hands & wisdom.
Prayers & rejoicing - the lymph nodes are clear.
Prayers of thankfulness for putting me with this bunch.

There are times people thought my parents were crazy for having 6 kiddos.  (I get funny reactions sometimes when I tell people I have 4.)  Well, if you were there today you saw a family who places God first.  The moments like today, full of every emotion under the sun, are moments when I want to say, "Look at this crazy family - we are conquering cancer with prayers & tears & laughter."

I love y'all!  I love my hubby for sitting quietly by my side, while we waited.  I fell better knowing he is there for all of us.  I love having a hubby who would do anything for our crazy big family.  I love my dad for bringing me into faith.  I love my mom for the role model she is to so many.  My siblings are some of the best people I know & a part of my forever.  My friends & family who prayed & texted & wrangled kiddos.  Thank y'all for everything

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 thankful for Dr. Pepper! I am thankful for Chicken-Moo! PSALM 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, H...

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?
