Happy March 1st........

Wow I can't believe that we are in the month of March 2010!!!! Where does the time go???? We have one month left until the Livestock Show in Centerville. So we are showing Rabbits & a Pig again this year. Caleb was very successful for his first year in 4-H & we hope for a repeat this year!!! We are planning on Caleb learning harder responsibilities and of course make some money for a future truck or college money!! This is all too familiar territory for me & I hope to take what I learned in High school & build on that.
Oh how I am ready to see Spring!!!

Christmas '09...........

Pics from Christmas





Hello 2010................

Well this has been a fast and furious past year. I can't even try to begin to tell all about 2009. So I will focus on this new year ahead of us!!! 2010, that is so cool, thinking back whenever I was little about the 2000's sounded so far off and so futuristic!!!! It is so hard to believe that we are actually here...2010!!! I have several New Years' Resolutions in mind, like most of us do I'm sure, but I will keep mine to myself & work on them through out the year. We have a whole one, you know...LOL!!! I didn't make any too far off!!!

Well, I don't know about everyone but our Holiday here was so fast & furious this year!!! We hosted Thanksgiving this year here @ our house for the first time. That gave me some push to get all those last minute remodels done & everything cleaned & pretty for everyone. Eddie was so tired of all the lists I had for him LOL. But we got everything done!!!!!

This was our second year without Elton here for the holidays, he passed away in June of '08. This year we brought some new traditions to the table by 1. Having it here @ our house. 2. New dishes like Potato casserole, Broc Cheese rice casserole, Ham, & some new desserts. There was plenty of room for all the kiddos to run around and play. We built a fire in the fire pit & watched everyone have a blast.

Christmas was so nice this year..........Eddie & I looked at one another, as we were asking one another what we each wanted for Christmas, and I spoke up first and said well really nothing, I am so happy just with life and everything that we are so blessed with already, I couldn't think of ANYTHING!!! Of course he took the kiddos to buy me a little something and he got me a few things, which I knew he would. Overall, we had one very nice, happy, blessed, beautiful Christmas!!!!

Now we enter the new month of January and this is supposedly the slowest part of the year for Hair stylists. But I know that God will bless me anyway, but it is weird being splotchy on the books......that is what I call having space between clients....LOL!!!! But it gives me time to do some catch up to do's at the shop between clients...LOL So happy new year to everyone & there families!!! =)

Fall is in the air.......

Well at times these days, the weather seems to be leaning towards the cooler side!!! Thank God for that!! This has been a very HOT summer and the break in the weather is just what we needed to stay in the game!!The scorching heat seems to take all the energy right out of you!! Of course the grass doesn't grow very good either, so the rain here lately has been a God send. This will take Eddie's business right on onto the Fall.

School has been trucking right along as well. Caleb is loving the 4th grade and Caylee, although not liking Kindergarten at first, in loving it now!!! She has finally got in a routine and just loves Mrs. Smith.

As far as me, my business is going great. I am very busy on Tues., Thur., Fri. 8:30 - 5:30 or 6pm. Also for those of you who may have forgotten, I have officially been open for 1 year now!!! WOOO HOooo!!! =) I can't believe that my dream of owning my own business finally came true, after 13 years of being a stylist & RENTING!!!!! It feels really good to be paying money towards my own building!!! Thank you God!!! Oh and my wonderful Daddy!! He did all the work for me!!! I can't be happier!!

As far as my house goes, I'm sure that everyone follows my FB and knows that we are remodeling the restroom in our bedroom. It is almost done, oh how I can't wait!!! DUST<> let me say DUST!!!! It does look soooo much better already!! I'll have to post pics as soon as it is done!!

Eddie's business has been very good , except for the rain makes it where he can't work but keeps it going into the Fall!!! So we can't have one with out the other!!!

I guess that raps it up for now.......keep on lovin' my busy life, my Family and most of all my LORD!! =)

I know that we don't look @ Blogs anymore, but I figured that it was time to update my Blog a little!!! New pic from the Summer @ the Park, all the cousins are together and cheesin for the pic!!! Well, Summer is coming closer to an end and this means time for school to start and getting back to a new schedule. Earlier days and earlier bed times!!! Hopefully next Mon we can get our last minute school shopping done. The backpacks are all monogrammed up and the new shoes are ready, so I think we are ready for the days to begin!!

Of course this is the year Caylee starts the big K. and Caleb will be in 4th grade!!! So I will have an automatic raise......YEAH!!! This is so crazy being that I have paid daycare for the past 5 years!!!! See all you SAHM's have something to shout about, NO Daycare costs!!!! Any way I am a working Mom so that has been a must for me!!! But thank God I haven't had to work FULL, Full time!!! I can take off most of the time and be there for all the kiddos stuff!!! But hopefully I want cry too hard on that first day.....I'll get Eddie to come with me and carry me out!!! LOL

Well happy end of the Summer and more blogs soon!!!

Summer time!!!

Well I have been looking forward to this time of the year as I'm sure everybody else has too!! Kids are out of school and we are home at a more relaxed set pace. This week started off with VBS @ Bethel Baptist and swim lessons @ 2-3. I think this is soooo good for the kids to be able to visit all the churches and see all their friends. Plus swim lessons is all I hear about!! This year Caleb is well able to be swimming on his own but loves to go anyway!!! Makes me think we need to invest in a pool??

Well this is a good time to take family vacations as well, of course!!! We are taking the kids camping @ Richland Chambers. They have cabins for rent, fishing, swimming etc!!! They are really excited! We would like to take them one other place but haven't decided yet. We are trying to take some small trips, here and there b/c of gas prices & lake of time!! What ever we decide the kids will love!! Anyway. Happy Summer everyone!!
