Miss Merry Christmas Pageant Fayette Elementary

So proud of Jaylee tonight at the Miss Merry Christmas Pageant for Fayette Elementary!!!! She did SOOOO good!!!! She was 2nd Alternate and Friendliest in the Kindergarten Division!!!!! I think I am most proud of Friendliest since it was voted on by her peers!!!! So so proud!!! Do you think I'm smiling a bit while I write this...Yes you would be right!!!!!

Well, we survived another year of Scrooge!!!! As usual we had so much fun and recieved such a blessing, but I am SO GLAD that it's over!!!! The whole purpose of Dogwood Productions is to share the gospel, and to hear stories from those who come to see the shows really makes all the long practices worth it. Here is a little story........After one of our shows while the cast was out front greeting those who came, a little boy who had recently lost his mother walked up to one of the angels and asked if they were real. Of course their response was yes I am real. It was then that the little boy asked if they had seen his mother in heaven where they were. Just breaks my heart....but I know that that little boy felt so good when he thought they had seen his mommy. Really makes me thankful for my family this Christmas Season, and thankful that God sent his Son so that we could live with Him in eternity!!! On another note....I am a horrible mom....even though I'm not exactly able to take pictures while my child is up on stage (I play the keyboard for Dogwood) you would think that I would at least take pictures before and after. But I forgot my camera every single show.....ughh!!! Thanks to the wonderful photographers for Dogwood who I can count on to have pics of my child!!!!!! Here are a few....

So, its been a while. It has been soo busy these past few months!! I have lots of pics to update and put on here so I'll try to get them put on here asap!!! This weekend though has been crazy. We celebrated my Uncle Jerry's 50th birthday last night!! Then this morning was my great grandmothers 84th birthday party, at 12 we went to my cousin Beau's 1st birthday party, then we went to the church to celebrate with about two hundred others Shane Lyle's 40th birthday!! Shane is a very special person to everyone he comes in contact with and We all Love him so much!! Shane also likes the Alabama Crimson Tide, and he had a special visitor come to celebrate with him!! BIG AL!! It was great!!! We all got to take our picture and he even stayed for a while and sang with us!!! Jaylee on the other hand didn't like him so much ha, I finally convinced her though to give him five!! I should have taken a pic cause I'm not sure that she would ever do it again. I'm not kidding she was TERRIFIED!!! Anyway, here are some pics!

Playing Catch UP.....

Well it's been a few weeks since I've gotten a chance to get on here and update everyone!!! It has been sooo crazy!!! Lets see, first of all School has started back....ughhh!!! I chose to only take one class this semester cause two last semester kicked my tail!!! But, I'm not so sure I can handle even one, since its MACROECONOMICS....i mean yuck, come on do I really have to have this class. Anyways, I did this before my last post but I'll tell ya anyways, I went to see TSO!!! It was amazing!!! Andy's mother and I went and we had a blast! I can't wait to go again next year!! Also, we've started planning things with our youth at church, which is always fun!!! Me, my mother, two of my aunts and two of my cousins, went to the National Championship Celebration at Bryant-Denny....AMAZING!! I got some great pics that I'll have to show you guys!!! And last but certainly not least, Andy and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on Jan. 21st!!! So, its def. been busy, but I love every minute of it!!! Hope you guys have a great day!!!!
