A WEEK I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR

****A NEW ORNAMENT GIVEAWAY on my holiday blog A BABY CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Do not miss Beth Moore's post!  What a beautiful painting of marriage in only words that Beth can string together. She is the BEST! 
For all of you that have prayed for Ashley Adams, her family got to take her home the end of last week. An answered prayer.  They have a  hard road ahead of them, but I still believe in MIRACLES.

I just posted the ORNAMENT WINNERS on the HOLIDAY BLOG.  There will be more giveaways later in the week.  I am in a GIVING MOOD! I am not sure why the music is off, but will get it fixed this week.  To be REAL HONEST, I will have to get someone to help me.  I know...PITIFUL!

Jack and Parker spent Friday and Saturday nights with us and that always makes life GOOD! They were all dressed in their LSU gear, as their Mom and Dad headed to a LSU party.  Jack loves his new jersey and cannot stop looking at it.

This is Jack today when I was making some pictures of trees..He said "What about me?"  That's from a kid that has had too many pictures made.  Plus he had my IPHONE and wanted you to think it was his.  HE NEEDS ONE! He will play Doodle Buddies for hours or until the battery runs down. 

If you have READ my blog for any length of time, you know this is the WEEK, the GAME, the REMATCH that I have been waiting for. I hope it will be a good game, no going for Brett's ankle and neither team playing after the whistle.  The NFL season opens Thursday night in New Orleans with a rematch of the Saints and the Vikings.  As you can imagine, since I live in La, 

my team is not the team most people around here will be pulling for.  I like the Saints fine, think Drew Brees is a great player, even read his book this summer and hope they win anytime they are not playing the Vikings, or in any game that would affect the Vikings.  (Better throw that in, since my goal is for Brett to win another SUPER BOWL AKA playing in Dallas in late January)  I have no idea if that will happen.  I am going to do my  best to not talk football in every post..but we are a football family and live from one season to the next.  WE LOVE IT. I think I have watched every preseason game at least twice, and I really do not like PRESEASON games.  It's just been on the NFL station and that's pretty much where our TV stays.

Jack is pretending this is LSU, but he and I know its really VIKING COLORS!

 Have a GREAT WEEK!

A MILESTONE AND LOTS OF PRIZES

Just had to add this PICTURE...Jack is sick and had to have some blood work done to rule out streph. Would you want to be the person that had to prick this finger? I think he is a TAD MAD!
Monday...

I looked at my dashboard this morning thinking I was getting ready to write a post about date night with Jack (AKA Woody) and realized that on my two blogs I had 275 posts and over 1150 followers. I know to many of you that is not a lot, but to this girl that thought one post would be the end, it seems like a MILLION. I thought about waiting until I reached the 300th post, but I will be so busy getting ready for the tree season, that I decided I would show my thanks NOW to all of you who have befriended me in the blog world. So on both blogs for the next few days I think we NEED to CELEBRATE..as in give a FEW THINGS AWAY. I am already drawing for a copy of IN A HEARTBEAT! I am adding to that some more prizes on EACH BLOG...so you will have to check both out. This post will stay up all week (because I have to start working on getting Christmas out of storage and staying away from the computer so much)! On SUNDAY NIGHT, PARKER will draw for all the prizes....So you have two chances to win Leigh Ann and Sean's book In A HEARTBEAT! (Are you getting that I LOVE this book? I think this is the 8th copy I have given away.) I love Robin McGraw,so I am including her book, What's Age Got To Do With It? . Then there are two new cookbooks, 500 SALADS and The Gooseberry Patch CHURCH SUPPERS COOKBOOK. It only takes a comment...and you can comment on both blogs...Just a little token to say thanks for reading ME.

NOW, on to my DATE last night with WOODY. It was so much fun that I think we will do it again. I am hoping he will ask me out again. We mostly played Woody, Buzz, Jessy, you get the picture. Jack does all the talking and the only RULE is I AM NOT TO TOUCH WOODY.

WOODY BELONGS to JACK.

WOODY had to sit in TIME OUT several times and I have no idea what he did wrong. One time I think he lost his hat. One time his head turned to the back and JACK HATES that. And we did go TO INFINITY and EOND (that's beyond, you say it with a long E and you say it really loud) about 100 times! He did come to me about 11 last night and say, "MAMMY (still working in the GR)

I WITE" I ask where and he opened his little fist and he had autographed his hand with a blue marker. I asked where the marker was and he went straight to the ottoman, got on his knees and pulled it out from under it. He had hidden his pen for later use. A BOY never knows when he will need to sign something.

Though this is not a great picture from Amanda's phone, this was DATE NIGHT for JACK's Mom and DAD. I think they LIKE each other.
