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 ...

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...
