My Life Right Now

My life right now is hectic & fun & true & tiring & this is the only time I will get to live it.
You see, they grow up & they talk back & they make friends that are cooler than me.
I am told there will be a day when they go off to college & I don't see their faces everyday.
I am told that one day I may not hear their voices everyday.
I am told that one day the house may be quiet & clean.
I am told that I will look back on these moments & smile.
I thought one morning that there will be a time when I do not wake them up & my voice is not the first one they hear & the last one they hear at night.  Who will remind them to pray for  . . . ?
I saw a picture of a momma holding her new baby, her first baby, & thought what a beautiful moment.  I have had 4 of those moments of my own & love watching my sisters moments.  You look at the little thing & you know that you would die for that baby.  You would give anything for that little thing.
Yes, if you saw me out & about today you could have gotten tired watching - I was on a roll. You may have been the person that asked if I had any more & then gawked when I said he was the youngest of 4.  Crazy - YES!  You see, my hubby & I are crazy in love & every once in awhile we are blessed with a bundle of joy.  Will we have more bundles? Probably not.  Are we crazy?  If that means living in the plans of a sovereign God then Yes we are the craziest.
The days are tiring & I am not sure if I am doing it right, but I love them & they love me & we get to the end of the day & pray for another one.  We get to a moment & pray for another one.  We listen for those precious voices & pray we hear them everyday.
Yes, there are smooshed goldfish on the floor & the baby smells, but that reminds me I have been given the gift of a little one.  It also reminds me I will never have a house featured in a magazine, but who cares I am not sure I have time for a magazine shoot in the middle of this life.  This crazy, loud lovely life.
Thank you to my top 5 most favorite people.
I love you

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...
