Ainslee's 7th Birthday Party

Kaitlyn and Kenleigh went to Ainslee's birthday party Saturday evening. It was a PJ party without spending the night. They had a blast. We got there a little late so the girls missed out on dress up time but we did, however, get there just in time for the pizza. Kenleigh thought she was just as big as the other girls. The played a game where they sat in the floor and music was playing and they passed around a bottle of nail polish. When the music stopped whoever was holding the bottle of nail polish had to paint a fingernail. The girls had a good time with that. Then they had cake and ice cream. Leisa made the cake. It was great!!! Then Ainslee got to open her gifts.Emma, Kaitlyn and Ainslee enjoying their pizza!!

Kenleigh. She had a great time.

This was Kaitlyn when I told her it was time to go. She hates goodbyes!!

FunFest/Revival 2009

This has been a very busy week and weekend. I have worked on Kaitlyn's float all week for FunFest on Saturday as well as we had Revival with Brother Jerry Jolly, which was AWESOME. I always enjoy hearing brother Jolly preach. One of the sermons Brother Jolly preached on was second chances and I am so thankful for that and I believe everybody deserves a second chance. Look what Jesus did for you and me. Wow!!

Friday night a group that I have joined, "Just The Girls," served BBQ as a fundraiser for the Susan G. Koman foundation and we raised close to $500. WOW!! Kaitlyn and her friend Abreanna got up and sang karaoke. Kenleigh also got up and sang Jesus Loves Me with her sister and cousin Madison. They had a great time.

Saturday was the parade and Kaitlyn's float was "Rockin' Through The First Grade." They were all very cute. We had breakfast at the church and then chili lunch at the church that afternoon.

I Have Had The Time Of My Life

Patrick Swayze passed away last week from pancreatic cancer and so of course I had to drag out the Dirty Dancing movie that my mom got me for Christmas one year when Kenny and I first married and I think I drove him crazy with watching it all the time. I could watch it 100 more times. I love that movie. The movie was made in 1987. So I was 10 years old and I could quote you the movie. "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." My friends and I used to watch this movie all the time.

I saw the interview that Barbara Walters did with him and his wife back at the beginning of the year and admired the relationship that him and his wife had. They had been together since she was 16. That is just amazing to me. He fought a long fight. He will definitely be missed.

AWANA

I had one addition to my Sparks group tonight. It blesses my heart to have kids come to learn about the word of God. I am now up to 12 little Sparkies. It is so neat hearing kids recite God's word to you.

Kaitlyn will be learning the books of the New Testament next time we meet, which will be two weeks from tonight because we will be in revival next week.

Kenleigh LOVES puggles. Every Wednesday night she says something about her platypus shirt because that is what a Puggle is, a baby platypus. She learned tonight that God made the sky. I am so excited to see her learn about God's word. She calls it Bible School because she went to Bible School back in the summer and enjoyed it so much so now everytime we go to church she thinks she is going to Bible School. I just think that is so sweet. She loves Ms. Deborah.

First Day of Fall

I am so excited about tomorrow being the first day of Fall. This is my favorite time of year. I love the colors of the leaves and I love to drive up to Branson, Missouri although I probably won't get to go this year, but it is always so pretty driving up that way or to Mt. Magazine. I enjoy the cool weather, the smell of cinnamon and pumpkin and I love to decorate my yard with hay, pumpkins and mum

Dancing With The Stars

Tonight is the premiere of Dancing with the Stars. Me and my family love this show. I get so tickled at both my girls. They both like to dance in the middle of the living room floor trying to do exactly what the professionals do. We have been watching this show since it began and Kaitlyn has always danced every since she was old enough to and now Kenleigh is doing the same thing, so now Kaitlyn has someone to dance with.
