Wedding, Soccer and a Smashed finger!!

We had a very busy weekend as usual. It started Thursday evening. I had to go to Nashville to pick flowers for a wedding I had to do for Friday. So I stayed up late Thursday night finished the bouquets and corsages. Friday I met Sis Trinda early she delivered my flowers Friday in Alabama. Thank the good Lord she was going to Andreas. Saved me a trip with 3 kids. After I met her me Logan Levi and Wilkins went to Cracker barrel for breakfast. People were looking at me like I was crazy. I am like I am just eating breakfast with 3 kids. Then Friday we had a shower to go to. Bradley took the boys to soccer practice and to Burger King. So that was nice I just had Levi and it was kind of peaceful. LOL

I am about done with Soccer too. He has a game every Saturday morning at 9:45. So we went to that. He made another goal this week. He would be really good if he could just stay on task. He loses his train of thought. I haven't found anything that holds hist attention longer than 10 minutes. Oh well they are really cute and he has fun. After the game we ran to Bojangles for some breakfast. Then home. I was all on a role cleaning doing laundry all that good stuff. Bradley had been outside trimming the hedges and he had just left for the dump when I was walking in the back door. I slammed it on my finger and then before I knew it I yanked it out. I couldn't even look at it. Lucas finally called Bradley and had him come home. I about passed out in the muddle of my kitchen. I honestly thought I had left the end of my finger in the door. I haven't hurt that bad in a long time. It smashed it really bad. Like the meat was coming out of my finger. I would post a picture but you don't want to see it I promise. Lucas was so upset before Bradley got back. He was going momma what do you want me to do for you. I said Lucas just pray for me. He said I don't know how to pray. I was like yes you do. So he goes to get down in front of me. Then he jumps and says I know I will go to the closet! They go running to the closet and a few minutes later he comes out with big tears running down his face. It was so sweet!! Anyway Bradley got me all bandaged up and I hurt all night. We made it to church only because we had a birthday party for Bro Cledis and it was our turn to clean. Sunday we went to church all day as usual. It was a good weekend. Except for my finger of course. Other than that it was good.

Tonight Lucas has basketball skill assessments. I don't know why he has no skills yet. That's why we are letting him play. Oh well have a good week are some pictures of our weekend!!

Clark Kent goes to school!!




So today was dress up like your favoite book character. Since Lucas loves comic books. I thought why not let him be Clark Kent. Plus we couldn't agree on anything else. He was so excited!!! I wanted a serious pose bu he couldn't do it. LOL
He loved the NERD glasses!
Trying not to smile!!
I had to throw in this picture too of Logan and Levi watching Spookley!! Super cute!
And the next two are of my late night craft project. They are for a wedding shower gift. I thought it turned out cute. Started with a clear ornament and turned into ADORABLE!!

Have I mentioned I love Pinterest!! LOL

Homeland

I just wanted to share this with yall. I have been on YouTube as usual listening to music. I love the old all male groups like the kingsmen and cathedrals. I came across this song that I have probably heard thousands of times but I actually listened to the words. It just made me feel so much better.

You beckon to my loved one and how my tears did flow
Tho I tried I could not hide how it hurt to see them go
but now I know they left this world and just moved to a better place
And someday you will call me too and I will see them face to face

In that city called Homeland I can hear you calling me
Oh my homeland oh how sweet its going to be just to see you
and to stand up on the shore and oh Ill live there forever more.


I know Carter was my father in law and 90% of the time he drove me crazy. LOL We didn't always see eye to eye on things but he was one of the best people I know. He would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it or even wanted it. Like I have said so many times he was NOT a affectionate man. As a matter of fact I didn't think he even liked me the first few years we were married. Of course you know me that didn't stop me from being "ME". Bradley was sure to tell me often that's how he treats people he likes. If he didn't like you he wouldn't even acknowledge you. LOL He was a strange person. These past few years that they lived here I appreciated him so much. My kids loved him more than I can even explain. Lucas tells me every day that he misses Papaw or says Momma did you know Papaw... It is something new every day. Saturday Lucas and I were cleaning out his room and I came across this sock that was rolled up in a ball with a rubber band around it. I started to undo the rubber band and Lucas was no no. I immediately remembered what it was when he said NO. The last time they spent the night (maybe a week before he got bad) They had tennis rackets and Nana told them they couldn't bring the ball in the house so Papaw rigged this ball up out of a sock. When we went to get them that night they were hitting it everywhere and he was just laughing at them. So after we talked about it for a minute we just sat and cried.

Death is so strange to me. I mean I know he was really sick for a long time but it seemed so sudden to me. I guess cause he fought it for so long when he finally quit fighting it was really fast. I mean he literally took three breaths after he quit struggling. Then he was gone. There was nothing left but a empty shell. I can still see him just laying there in the bed with no life in his body. It was so weird one minute he is there fighting with everything he had then the next nothing. I can not wait until we get to see him again one day. The boys ask me when we will get to see papaw again. I tell them "Soon I hope!"

I know you are thinking why on this earth am I blogging at 1 AM. My answer is I have no clue. I can not sleep. When it first happened it was ok but the past couple times I have went over there things have just really bothered me. It is so strange for him not to be there. Maybe at first I was just used to him being there just in the back room. Now I know he isn't there. Oh well I am going to try to go to bed now. Good night and I am sorry for this blog. It was just what was in my head maybe now that I got it out I can sleep!!! Night Night!!

back to life as normal..

We had a pretty busy weekend! Lucas got home from LeAnne's Thursday afternoon so we ordered pizza. The Brandy called wanting Lucas and Logan to go watch Lion King. Of course Lucas fell asleep and Logan never shut up but they had fun. I ran to Children's Place and all three fabric store at about 7:30. It was a very quick trip!! LOL Then Friday me and the boys got up and headed out at 8:30. We had breakfast at chick fila. Then to Target where we stayed for the next two hours. I can not believe I stayed in there that long with three boys and no one was killed! It was actually fun. We looked at everything in the store. They wanted to look at the toys. So they narrowed down there Christmas list to everything in Target. That should be easy enough. After that we went by Aunt Bee's to drop off some stuff we bought for Wilkins. Then mom aunt bee Wilkins me and the boys went to Long Horns for lunch.

So Lucas has been driving us crazy to go play glow golf. So after we had dinner with Nana and Lebron at the Japanese restaurant we went to the Glow Golf place in the mall. The boys had a blast me and Bradley not so much! Saturday we were going to the Pumpkin patch but Lebron called wanting Bradley to help him clean out his dads garage. So me and Lucas cleaned out his room. It took us all day. I know ridiculous! We dumped out every toy bucket pulled all the furniture out and organized. I have been wanting to do that for so long. I just dreaded it so bad but now it looks really good. Bradley and Logan got home at 3. So he just built a fire in the back yard and got rid of some brush that needed to be burnt. The kids loved that of course. We took a walk around the neighborhood with the dog. (something else Lucas has been wanting to do for a week) Come Saturday night they were so tired after they had their showers I didn't know if they would make it to bed.

Sunday was church all day of course. We went to Cracker Barrel with mom dad and Wilkins. We had a pretty good Fall Break. This morning was rough Lucas didn't want to get up and neither did I. But we made it just fine. Logan Levi and me went to McDonald's for lunch then to Hobby Lobby and Home Depot. I am going to get my bathroom done. I will have to post pics soon. We tore everything out of it about 3 months ago. As soon as we did Bradley started working 60 hours a week with a hour drive each way. Then carter got bad. So now there is nothing standing in our way. It has to get done. I am so tired of one bathroom in this house! Here are a few pics of our weekend.

Busy weekend ahead!

Well fall break is more than half way over and I haven't got to see Lucas at all!! He is coming home tomorrow and I am so excited. I have missed him so much. Although he hasn't missed us at all. Lucas asked LeAnne if he could live with her. LOL He is had so much fun and I am glad. Since they moved he hasn't got to see them and play very much. It is usually quick visits and no time for playing. We have big plans for the weekend. Lucas has been wanting to go play putt putt golf so I think we will do that Friday night and then the Pumpkin Patch Saturday. I will definitely post some pictures asap.

Levi is growing so much. He has gotten spoiled. Already 7 months old I can not believe it. Oh well yall have a great weekend!!

Fall Break Already?

It has been another long and crazy week. We had a awesome singing Friday night. The singing was awesome and the Lord really blessed. We were missing a few people. ( All the wives of New Harmony!!) It was good and Edna really got some help. Bro Todd anointed Levi, me and Bradley. It was just good! Then last night Bradley got such a good blessing. He has needed it so bad. He has been having such a hard time lately. So Thank You Lord!!

Today I am up bright and early because Lucas was going home with LeAnne this week. Can you believe it is already fall break!! He came to wake me up this morning he was fully dressed and waiting by the door at like 6:30. She wasn't even leaving until 8:00. I think he was a little excited! LOL Oh well everyone have a great beautiful October Sunday!
