Kevin's Deer Hunt

Hey guys, here is Kevin's second deer he got on Thanksgiving. He was so happy!

SNOW DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, we actually had 7 inches of snow at our house, last week. It was so cool.  Kevin could not wait to go out and just play in it. He went sledding on an improvised sled made out of a garbage bag and a lid. It worked great. Then he and Kayla had the great idea to blow up an air mattress and sled down the front of our hill. It was awesome.  We made snowcreme. The kids had never had snowcreme for the simple reason that it has never snowed enough to make snowcreme. But as the days wore on both Kayla and Kevin were ready for the snow to leave.  I was also because we had to leave the cars at the foot of the hill and walk down every morning just to leave for work. Well the snow has finally left enough that I can now drive to work. But there is still some left. My mamaw Strickland always used to say it there is still snow lying around, it is just waiting for more snow!  I hear that there is more snow coming this Thursday, get Ready Everyone, more Snow...Happy Sledding!

My Baby Boy is a Teenager

I recently blogged about my daughter, now is is Kevin's turn.  I am now offically the mom of two Teenagers. Kevin turned 13 on Sunday, December 19, 2010.  He is a sweetie. I call him my gentle giant, he is stronger than me, but is very good with the babies at church. Where has the time went? I am counting more than a couple of gray hairs now. But Praise the Lord for all my Blessings and Kevin is one of my Blessings. He is an avid deer hunter, he is a great help to his daddy on the farm.  He has been taught to work. He will always be my baby boy even when he is 50! Love you Kevin!

Birthdays!

My baby girl will be 17 years old this week.  She is truly is a blessing to me. She is an answer to my prayers.  It still amazes me that God chose me to be her momma.  Before she was born, I prayed that God would give me children.  My prayer was Psalm 62:7-8, You see I am an insulin dependant diabetic. Praises to His sweet name that He would bless me with two healthly children, Isaiah 61:3 "TO APPOINT UNTO THEM THAT MOURN IN ZION, TO GIVE UNTO THEM BEAUTY FOR ASHES, THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING, THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE GARMENT OF HEAVINESS; THAT HEY MIGHT BE CALLED THE TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE PLANTING OF THE LORD, THAT HE MIGHT BE GLORFIED."  Praise His name for Kayla. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL. Love ya!

December 2010

Hello everyone, it is a cool day here in Tennessee.  The Christmas season is knocking at our doors. Am I ready, no not yet. I have tried to do some Christmas shopping but only a few gifts have been bought.  I am blessed to have a wonderful daughter.  She is a blessing.  She was in the Christmas spirit long before I was.  My parents and brother & sister came over for Thanksgiving and before the dishes were done or the last piece of pumpking pie had been eaten, she already had the Christmas tree up and decorated.  Oh to be young again.  Let us truly focus on the "Reason for the Season."  It is when each and everyone upon the face of the earth was given the Greatest gift of All.  Jesus Christ was born in the flesh, to bring Salvation to everyone who will believe. John 3:16.  Have a wonderful Christmas! Let us all say MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holidays.   MERRY CHRISTMAS!
