Pigeon Forge

We are in Pigeon Forge for the week, we got here yesterday and we are having a good time just enjoying the kids. When we got here we got checked in and then we went to feed the ducks, the kids were amazed because they will just eat right out of your hand. Last night we went to eat pizza and to play put put golf ( or as Shane calls it butt butt golf). We had a great time Shane hit a hole in one on the first two shots. Brylee loved it, she tried really hard to figure it out. I don't know what we will do today but, I am sure it will be fun. We just wanted some family time. We spend time at the camper, but it is not just the 4 of us. We needed some family time. Shannon needed to take some time off also. Mom and Alisa are watching after the store so I know I don't have to worry about that. I will keep you posted!

Good times

I had a busy week this week even though I shouldn't have. I didn't work a whole lot this week, but I spend alot of time cleaning up the house. Thursday I went and met Jen for dinner at applebees, we love some chicken roll-ups. Then we headed to Jaime's for Amelias shower for Landon whom is going to be joining us Monday, I wish her a lot of luck. Jaime and Jennifer are both showing now and look very cute! Then Sat. Shannon and I took the kids to nana and papa and we headed to madison to have dinner with friends to celebrate Jaime's 30th birthday. We had a great time just spending time with everyone, Jaime has several groups of friends, but I enjoy every one of them. We can hang out together and it is not weird. Since the wedding I have grown to love them I really didn't know them before that. I can't wait to meet all these new babies that are coming soon. We also got to meet baby Camden he is just to cute and tiny, he slept most of the time, but he finally open his eyes when he got hungry. Well Shannon and I and of course the kids are going to head off the the mountains for a few days just to get away.

Just sitting around the camp fire

Well here I am just sitting at the camp ground enjoying the camp fire. I love this time of year when the leaves are changing and the cool weather is coming in. Shannon just took the kids fishing for a little while so I am resting. My friend Jennifer found out this week she is having two girls. We are so excited for her and Ronald. We have church tonight and mon. and tues. Sister Sherry is coming tonight. Sister Jammie and Rhonda is coming mon. and tues. We love all these ladies they are great people of God.

Relentless

We are back, and we had a great time. We heard Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer, Lisa Bevere, Darlene Zschech, Yolanda Adams, Phil Wickham( I had never heard of him but he was great!) We heard alot about being Relentless which was what they called the women's conference. Creflo talked alot about faith. It was a wonderful weekend I had a great time with Renata and Lori. We really enjoyed spending time together and I think we learned alot about each other. The arch was neat but the city has alot to see and we didn't have time to do much.

Getting ready!

Well I am getting ready to go to St. Louis for the weekend for a Joyce Meyer women convention, I have been looking forward to it for months and can't wait. My mother-in-law Renata and sister-in-law Lori are going. I am very excited but will miss the kids this is the first time I will be away from them for this long. Shannon took off so that he could keep them. He is so great! I myself have been studing on praise and how important it is to praise God. Make it a habit to praise him all day in everything that you do and see how much better your day goes. I will confess, praise , and give thanks to You, for You have heard and answered me; and You have become my Salvation and Deliverer. (Pslams 118:21 amplified) I am a firm believer that you reap what you sow, so make sure your sowing good seeds and not bad because it goes both ways.

Early Works

So friday we took the kids to early works in Huntsville, they had a blast. Shane got to see Zane, which he hasn't seen in months they are just like me and my girls they pick up right were they left off. It is great to see already what a great friendship they are going to have. Brylee and Ava don't really play together they have not had the same quality time together. Brylee does enjoy seeing Seven, they see each other at bible study each week. The kids had a great time and Shane is already asking to go back and i talked to Debbie today and she said Zane said that it was the most fun he had all weekend!
