Daddie brings Miss Emmie her Birthday cake. It's an Oreo Ice cream Cake with some fudge in it. Yummy!

Emmie was over excited to open her gifts so I posted a few. Sofie created this fun Design. Emmie was good about reading her cards first. This was from her Mama.

Grandma Gray knows that Miss Emmie loves style. Emmie was thrilled with this outfit. She loved the fact that it had the leggings too. Thank you Grandma.

Running Behind!

Alright, What can we say about Miss Sofie? She has always been theatrical. We just never thought her role model and dream was to be a lead singer like Diana Ross. What a gal. There has been this terror of a cat that has chewed on our dear Miss Daisie(White Cat). Austen and John Paul finally Captured and hauled the very crazy and vicious cat away. Of course they were on the other side of the screen door and I had the broom pushing it into this kennel. So who really was afraid of this cat? I would say the 2 hero's looking so strong. lol

Miss Amzie, Studying and looking fabulous doing it too. What a gal.

Amber and Austen's 1st day of School. It took a struggle to get this photo as their friends were all watching on their way to school. Amzie says" mom really? Aren't we to old for this now?" Nope stand still and smile. I love them so Much!

Happy Annivserary

Happy 3rd Year Anniversary
Jason and I have now been married for 3 years and this year we are apart. I made Jason a slide show and thought it would be fun to share it with the few viewers who watch. Jason My love. My heart is yours honey and I love you Sweetie Gray.

It wasn't the plan but my Dear Grandma ( My mothers' Mother ) had Moved on to a happier and painless place in the Heavens. I'm sure she has been received my her siblings, parents, Grandparents and all those that just adored her. So I flew home on July 3rd to be home and to see my granny off. I had the honor of dressing Granny for burial as well as my Mother and a few of my sisters and my sister-in-law Caris. It was an experience that I will never forget. The spirit was so strong and there was a silence that was unexplainable to be too. A reverence and peace as my sister and I painted my Grannies nails. If anyone has done this perhaps you might know. For those that have not perhaps one day you shall know what an honor to serve those whom have past. I loved my grandmother. Now I am working on her genealogy and am feeling close to her.

I would like to wish several fathers a Happy Fathers day in many ways.

Amber and Austen amusing their Mommie with a pose for the camera again.

Emmie, the Life Sized Porcelain Emmie Figurine. Sold Out in Seconds. Once she popped in the case she was an instant show. Cameras came out and so did the smiles and laughter. All this took place as our family helped her mom move. I walked out of Miss Sheas room and walked into this picture. Love it. Amber and Austen trying to see who can get the highest. I'm afraid that Miss Amber might not be coming down.lol

Amber has started to collect the Walt Disney puzzles. 1000 pieces. She loves to put them together and our family now joins in and hangs out around the table. She has completed Alice in Wonderland and started 101 Dalmatians.

Ok, There is a story behind this Picture. I came across this game and these game pieces were in it. How fitting for me since this is so true for my vision. I'm Goofy!

Austen was at the dentist and I had the camera big surprise so I was snapping away. I got a smile out of him with teeth. Yea! I have to share. Yes he has been growing out his hair and to our surprise he has red locks like his mother. AWE! He looks so good when its done.

August, Amber and Austen looking as sharp and gorgeous as ever if a mother may say. Miss Amber is now in High School and Mr. Austen in 7th. September, Miss Sofie and Miss Emmie Cheered for Tanner while he played football. They really love to cheer. This year they learned how to do stunts. They had there Daddie spotting for them.

Here is Tanner waiting to get back in the game. He played so much. He did really well. Tanner has the passion of the field that he gets from his daddies side of the family.

Also in September Miss Amber signed up with some friends to do a Mud Run at Fort Jackson. She had a ball and is looking forward to do it this year as a double date. ( other pics in previous post)
