January 2012

Troy had the nerve to text me this picture

of this handsome kid at the deer lease.

It about took my breath away.

Walker is HUGE and just growing

up way too fast.  :(

He will ALWAYS be the

love of my life!!!!!!!

Mrs. Janice sent me these pics...

look at my little Hudsy doing

his "work"!!!

LOVE that mouth action!!!!!!!!!!

Hudson's actual BIRTHday fell on

a Tuesday so he got to celebrate

with Mrs. Janice & Everett ...

Sweet Everett was sick and didn't

get to come to Hudson's party.  

This is Hudson getting into

Adrienne's make-up!!!!!!!

The very idea of him getting into

his best girl's make-up!!!!!!!! ;)

What a delightful little blessing to be

able to pick this little girl up from

school everyday.  She is SO happy

to see me and I am even more

happy to see her.  Thank you, Sweet Jesus!

My kids aren't called the STORM for nothing.

Here we are at Academy getting Walker

some new basketball hi-tops. 

I'm on the floor with all these shoes

HOLLERING for Walker to get

his booty back over to us.

I look up and this is what I see

coming down the isle!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about these new hi-tops for my

nine year old that are TOO BIG for

his mama!!!!!!!  And I wear an

8 1/2 size shoe;))))))))))

I can think of MANY things that I have

not done well as a mommy for my kids,

but one thing I am SO very proud of

is how my kids LOVE each other.

They are always so excited for

the other!!!  Moments like these when

Haddie came out from dance
and Huddy was so happy to see
and hug her literally melt.my.heart!!!

What am I going to do with
Princess Hadlee?!?

She's the sweetest little mess

I've ever known...

especially in this darling

little outfit that Aunt Lynna

got her for Christmas.

It's what Haddie wanted to wear

on her first day back to school

from the holidays! :)

I saw this the other day on Facebook

and it made me smile :) ...

because I feel like I have this man.
And it makes me smile even bigger

to think that Hadlee is getting to watch

her daddy be this man!

Just the other day Hadlee was playing

with her barbies in her room while

I was putting her clothes away.

I heard her have Ken say to

Barbie, "Here you go, sweetheart."

AHHHHHHH....

yay for Daddy Love:)))

Just HAD to hit up Target on the DAY

that the new Lego Superheroes

came out.  Superman Lego!!! YES!

Walkman has been so excited for this:)

Mrs. Janice & Adrienne got Haddie

a Lite Bright for Christmas!

OH the memories one of these

brought back for me!!!!!!!

She loves it!!!!!!!

Celebrating Sweet Jillian's birthday

at Practically Picasso.  Haddie

painted this little penguin...

As I mentioned earlier, the

pure JOY I see in Hadlee when

she sees me in the afternoon is

just the BEST.  But what is
ALSO the best is the way

Hudson is SO excited to see

her AND Walker.........

There are ALWAYS hugs

and ALWAYS smiles:)))

Walker comes out a few minutes

after Haddie and we do the whole

thing ALL over again...

LOTS of hugs & smiles!!!!!!!!

AND one extremely happy

and grateful mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This little thing is HUNGRY

when she gets in the car.  I always try

to have something for them.

This particular day it was a donut

from my trip to HEB...

Practice makes Perfect.....

This is just something I don't want

to forget because it makes me laugh

SO HARD! This is Troy at

Dr. Graham's.  He had insisted

that something was wrong with Hudson's

little package. ;) While there before

Dr. G even came in, Troy

realized there was not a single

thing in the world wrong with it!!!
He was dying and didn't want

to have to face Dr. Graham!!!!!!!!!!
The only good thing was that
we left there with Dr. G telling
us that Hudson has the best, most
perfect package he'd ever seen!  ;)

Easy.Bake.Oven.

Hello to my very favorite

new APP...Red Stamp!  Get it:)

This was one of those stop

and give thanks moments ~

I was at the grocery store

and all of the sudden

completely overcome with awe

at this beautiful little girl....

H. Walker and the guys!!!!! ;)

One day I told Hadlee to go get

ready because we needed to go

and feed Hunter & Lynna's dogs.

This is what she came out in........

Sick, Sicker & Sickest...

Unfortunately we had some

sick days in January...pretty much

one full week of YUCK!
(Unfortunately :( some of it came back
this last week & it was back to the dr. again)

Two raging ear infections, very high

fevers, throwing up, and icky coughs.

We had no other choice but to stay

home in our pj's and play games and rest...

Walker had febrile seizures when he was little...

three ambulance rides and one hospital stay

type seizures. :( Scary, scary times.

He still runs such high fevers when sick.

I'll always be fearful of fever!!!!!!!!

There was SOMETHING that made

allllllllllllll three of them feel

better.  Somebody had dropped it

by on our door step........

Grandmother's sweet tea of course!!!!!!!

Hudsy was really the sickest...

God bless his heart.  He runs high

fevers like his Bubba. 

This was him with 104 and he still

kept trying to flash

me a little grin :)

He & Haddie just felt so awful.  :(

This particular afternoon,

we had the hardest time getting

Baby Love's fever down. 

But we did, and he was back to

his Happy Jack self!!! ;)

Not one, not two, but all three...

God love their little hearts....

Baby Love was throwing up so often

that he started carrying around

his own bowl and if we gave him

something to eat or drink,

he'd go into the kitchen to get a new

bowl.  Poor guy had figured

out what was up!  :(

He slept so much...

like the sweet, little angel he is!!!

Love this message...

I DO know

it (life) will be worth it.

Thankfully, I have Jesus in my

heart which gives me all the faith

and belief and love I could ever

 need in this life!
