Wonderful Easter!

We have had a great weekend. We have been very busy, but have also had some time to relax. We had Evangalist, Junior Hill at our church this morning. There were lots of people saved!!!!!! What a wonderful Easter to see all these people walking the aisle and giving their lives to the Lord!
Look who came to see us today! Harper, the miracle baby! I got to hold her for a little bit and I was delighted. She is a pretty baby girl! We also enjoyed our time with Kelly and Scott. Our friends, Hillary and Josh, came to see us on Saturday from Little Rock. They are a lot of fun!



SK looks like she should be in the wagon on Little House on the Prairie.



We got a new kitchen table last week. We are enjoying it!

I loved getting to see you!!! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Please let Emily come see me every few months so I can laugh like that.
SK does look like Kari on Little House on the Prairie. :)

Seriously, Laurie, your family is precious! I've really loved getting to learn and know about your family through Kelly's blog and love keeping up with your sweet girls. If I lived near ya'll, I would sooooo baby-sit!!! You could always send them down to Florida if you need a break, haha!! Parents need that every now and then and they would have a blast at Disney World, lol. Have a GREAT day!!! :o)

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....

New Toys

Friday I decided that Emily was spending too much time watching t.v. I read an article on the internet about how babies learn best with hands on experiences. Emily has always LOVED t.v. She just gets glued to it. I had also been thinking about most all the toys she has are really too babyish for a 10 month old, sooooooooooooooooo I went to Wal-Mart Friday and got her some new toys. I got her a pull-along puppy and a toy in which you drop balls into the top of it and they go through a maze and turn on lights and play music. They were both for babies 12 months and older. Emily likes them, but she can't quite master them yet. She doesn't love them, as I had hoped. But, we have a family member who does LOVE them! It is our crazy cat Kristen. She loves to stalk and attack the puppy and she thinks the balls are for her. She played with them all afternoon on Friday. So Kristen thinks she has new toys especially for her and Emily is content playing with the remote, magazines, cords and...
