I have such a very precious daughter. She brings my life so much joy and love. I would never trade her. She is my very special keeper. Her childhood years were such a joy to me. She had some bumpy roads that she faced but survived. She is now in her teen years. WHOOO> somedays can be a challenge. Who what have thought that my sweet little angelic girl could grow up and be testy!!?! Sometimes, it isn't very fun but it is interesting to say the least. She keeps me on my toes. I love those special moments where she comes and we talk for very long periods of time. BOY is she BOY crazy. I hear lots of comments on who she is going to marry...It is funny how it changes from day to day.
One interesting thing is the teenage girl DRAMA...Oh my goodness. I can not even fathom or remember me being so dramatic as a teen. Of course, my mom might say different. The exagerated drama of my teen girl is 210%^ and rising. Drama, I can live without. Now I fully understand the queer little statement, My child gives me gray hair...Of course we can't blame ALL of it on a teen girl now. No matter what the challenge, I sure love my daughter. I couldn't do without her in my life.

Baby Joys...
It has been 9 months since giving birth to my beautiful baby boy. What a wonderful journey!
It is such a wonderful journey to be on right now. I am enjoying every minute that I have to spend with my son, Chase. I love to see each new accomplished milestone. I love to hear him giggle when we play together. I love to see how much he enjoys his baths. I love everything about him. He has such a brilliant and cheerful smile. It would melt anyones heart. People stop me all the time just to talk to Chase. He is truly a people's magnet. I think he has only cried ONCE when someone talked to him. BUT, the person WAS VERY VERY TALL and had such a deep voice. I think it scared him. Chase seems to be full of joy. His daycare teachers say that Chase is the best baby. He hardly ever cries or fusses at the daycare and they say he plays himself hard. I love to hear special things about my baby from others. It is so wonderful.

40th Wedding Anniversary Party
40th Wedding Anniversary Party...
It was a perfect night. The tables were clothed in white, and light gray. Confetti littered the tables with light colored fresh flowers as center pieces. Balloons littered the ceiling with long hanging strings. A big heart of balloons with a special banner hung on the wall. All our special family came to honor my parents for their 40th wedding anniversary.
There was a table in the kitchen lined with smoked Turkey, smoked Ham, fried chicken, dressing and giblet gravy. There was green bean casserole, corn, mashed potatoes, chicken rice broccli casserole, northern beans, salad, deviled eggs, pea salad and rolls. On the desert table, there were 2 pumkin pies, 2 cinnamon apple pies, 2 pecan pies, 2 cheesecakes, huge tub of banana pudding, bread pudding, an anniversary cake and orange sherbert punch. There were soft drinks and tea also. Everything was just wonderful.
We had all arrived at the First Baptist Activity Center, except for my parents. My mom was under the impression that it was just a Thanksgiving dinner. She was very surprised when she walked in and saw everyone. It felt wonderful to hug everyone and to see every one. We so enjoyed the wonderful fellowship. Ashley and Gwen sang a song from the Moldy Peaches. The kids played basket ball and dodge ball in the gym. My dad and uncle and brothers played pool in the game room and all the women stayed in the dining area and did what we do best...hackle...It was great. Chad and I had gotten my parents a movie ticket package.(2 movie tickets and a $25 dollar visa gift card.) BUT THE OTHER GIFTS!!! I was not expecting. They were great. I think they got dinner gift cards to Red Lobster, Outback and I am not sure where else. Someone else gave $200 dollars. I was surprised. What a blessed 40th anniversary.
Special thanks to my brother's girlfriend, Heather. I could not have done this without her. Also great and special thanks to Heather's mom, Paula. She provided all the beautiful flower center peices. SO SPECIAL. (I was blessed that she owns a flower shop!!) A very precious and special thanks goes out to my baby girl, Ashley. She created the video of mom and dad's life!!! What a talented girl. I am planning on uploading it to Facebook once I get the opportunity. We had a wonderful evening.
