LOOK WHAT I HAVE

I had not planned to post again this week, as this was my REAL POST for the week. Look what I bought...another copy to give away...This just happens to be a book that has touched me in a way no book has in a long time..

ALL you have to do is leave a comment on this post and I will draw a winner on Sunday night. If I keep buying them I am going to have one for everyone that wants one. Ha

Today Terri and I shopped and BOUGHT lots of TREE STUFF....dripping sweat, thinking about trees...Something is not right about that. The tree schedule is almost done and then it really gets serious...and my holiday blog will go back to TREES.

I have spent the week busy keeping my littles....and not to BRAG, well maybe a little, but my son-in-law...yea the one I did not want Amanda to marry, gave her a FULL SPA DAY for this next Saturday, in a card on their real anniversary which was yesterday...That was after he had wined and dined her all weekend. This man is making me look BAD....but NOTHING MAKES me HAPPIER. I see him patterning himself so much after my husband and as long as he does that....he will never go wrong/translated to treat your wife like a QUEEN!

I have read some GREAT posts this week and want to be sure you do not miss them. This one brought me to tears. This one made me laugh! Please read this and PRAY. Pray as if it were your child or grandchild...for me that changes my prayer.

We have a busy weekend coming up. Tomorrow Parker and I are going to see CATS and DOGS...Saturday I am going to the wedding of a young man I have known since birth..It will be an opportunity for me to see many friends that I have not seen in 15 or 20 years. Then on to Dallas in 107 degree weather and a few days at market.....really a little grandparent trip with Parker. I had hoped to run by Canton on the way, but someone that went today said the heat was UNBEARABLY HOT.

I have enjoyed finding so many new blogs through New Friend Fridays. There are so many great blog hops. I just need to figure out which ones to be a part of...

I am really thinking about changing to Windows Live Writer...I would LOVE your feedback.

Also stop by A Baby Changes Everything, where I have two great bundles of books to giveaway on Sunday night.

This was Jack at bath time tonight...He is a little ham...and loves the camera. He makes MY HEART SMILE....I cannot imagine my life without him.

AND FOR ALL YOU DISNEY LOVERS, DON'T MISS THIS TRIP REPORT....

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AMANDA AND M ICAH and MISCELLANY MONDAY AND WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

happy anniversary amanda and micah! there is much more in that sentence than those five words. if you are a new reader this post and this post will explain. happily ever after is what it looks like. i know three years is a little early to predict that, but I know they are doing all the right things to make that happen! this mom is proud. this mom is thankful.
micah called early last week to be sure we were free to keep jack for the weekend...he had planned a surprise dinner at one of the nicest restaurants in our town. on saturday morning, he told amanda to get dressed up and be ready to go at 6 o'clock!
total surprise....fancy night on the town....meeting up with friends at one of the casinos later, brunch on sunday at copelands.

they are great parents to these littles, little men that have grabbed my heart in a place I had no idea was even there. this is not the best picture I ever made of either Parker or Jack, but the picture speaks volumes. parker is the BEST at being a BIG BROTHER and Jack idolizes him... 1...I had a long to to list today..2. I still have kids here....3. Parker and Jack spent the night again last night. I had planned to take Jack to school today when in no uncertain terms, he informed me and Parker that he was staying with us. 4. he won 5. we still had our pajamas on at 4pm 6. who cares? 7. nothing got marked off my to do list today 8. there is tomorrow 9. I am tired but a good tired.... 10. I would do it again tomorrow....

Because these boys make the world go round!!
Jacks new BIG BOY HAIR CUT! Wishing he had an IPOD TOUCH or at least an IPHONE. How is a BOY suppose to PLAY GAMES? This two year old can do more with my IPhone than I can. This is a BRIBE kiss....Please PAKER (notice he says no R's) let me play with it?
