Too Busy to Blog!

I have a lot going on in my life right now. I really don't have the brain power to put it
all in words. So ... I want to give you a few visuals of what is going on in my mind, in no particular order.





I wish I were here...

But I will settle for here this weekend....


Take care of mother in law in hospital with lung disease,

Pray that Kori will decide if she wants to do this........

Here....

or here........

which brings us this.....

Check on Shawn recovering from gall bladder surgery.....

Get Will to football practice....he is #60

pray for him to be safe...

He is so cute in this uniform! Don't let everything else get in the way of him having a good time.

I really need to wash those pants and that girdle (he is in the black)....

Oh yea... Kori now thinks she wants to do this....

here.....

And that doesn't even cover my housework, babysitting, Women's Ministry, my husband, my bills, well.... you get the point.

Way too much stuff to think about..... I think I will loose myself in other peoples blogs of peaceful times for now!

High School Musical - Breaking Free

Please read the post below before watching video.

Phases of Disney

While raising three kids, I have been through a lot of phases with Disney. I remember when Shawn was in love with the Little Mermaid at age 5. He watched that movie over and over again. I decided then we would own every Disney movie ever sold, because he loved it so much.
I gave up on that collection a few years later.

When Kori came along we had the DISNEY CHANNEL. That was big time. She was hooked on Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens and re-runs of Boy Meets World (she still thinks that Cory & Topanga are real and anything she needs to know about life, they can teach her).

Will has so many options for TV these days. He loves fishing & hunting shows, but in between them, he loves to watch Disney too. He likes Cory In The House, Hannah Montana and of course the popular Disney movies, High School Musical.

Since I LOVE TV as much as the next couch potato, I have always viewed the shows with my kids. But, this last phase I think is my favorite. I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL ( I & II). Will begged me to watch the first one with him and when I did, I was hooked. We couldn't wait to see #2 come out. We even had our own little premier party. Even though Kori laughed at us and wouldn't stay home to party with us, she wanted to make sure we were recording it.

I can't count how many times we have watched this movie since Friday night. The attraction for us is all the music and dancing.

My favorite song of both movies is BREAKING FREE. I guess because I have started (again) the Bible Study BREAKING FREE and I can apply some of the words in the song to how God wants us to break free from the bondage of sin. How He helps us to break free from what the world wants us to be.

If you get a minute, watch Troy & Gabriella. They are sooooooo cute! Then ask God to show you if you have strongholds in your life that keep you from soaring & flying with Him. Then,...Break Free!!!

Grace in the Boondocks

Those who know me know that I have always been of the mind set that Christians should only listen to Contemporary Christian music. You can imagine how this goes over with teenagers.
Recently Christ set me free from legalism. He is showing me that He died so I could live by grace and not a bunch of rules.
I heard this group, Little Big Town, on Rick and Bubba one day, and I liked their music. It didn't take Kori long to react, and she bought me the CD for my birthday. I love it.
Don't get me wrong, I am still in love with CC music and I am very careful what I allow into my mind in the ways of music. But, I like this little group. I like this song too. Maybe 'cause I was raised in the boondocks.
You know... Christ can set you free too.

What Were You Doing 10 Years Ago Today?

Can you remember what you were doing 10 years ago today? I can. At this very moment,
10 years ago today, I was in Labor and Delivery at Brookwood Hospital, preparing for the arrival of my new baby boy. I was very excited and barely nervous at all. Had I known at
11:00 a.m. that he would weigh in at a whopping 10 pounds within the hour, I am sure that I would have been more than a little nervous, but still excited!


William Houston (named for my grandfather and Jeff's father and grandfather) was the best surprise God could have given us that year! I can't believe he is already 10 years old. Having 2 older children, (23 & 17 ) we realize how fast kids grow up. I can honestly say we have taken time to enjoy him, and it has been a blast.


Will is just like his dad. To look at pictures of Jeff when he was 10 is like looking at Will right now. He is like a carbon copy in more ways than one. He loves fishing and hunting, football, and playing the drums, just like his daddy.

Humor me while I share a few pic's of Will.


Happy Birthday Will man! I love you so much!






Look at the cheeks on this guy!







I love the hair! Business in the front, party in the back!




Always the funny guy

Typical Will in camo.

The cool dude that he is!

Happy 10th Birthday Will. What a great decade it has been.

Got BLOG?

Hey you, - yes you. The one reading this. Why don't you blog with me??
Unless your name is Donna G. M., you either read and don't comment,
or you don't have a blog. So what's up with that? I let you into my world, why don't
you share yours with me?!?!?!?! Or at least comment!!!!! (Like you Debbie)

I am not really sure what the term BLOG really means, but for me it means
several different things:

Be Loud Old Girl
Buddies Love Online Grace
Been Lovin' Our God
Believing Love Outlasts Grief
Beats Listening (to) Outdated Grapevines

What do you think it means? I know somebody knows the real meaning for this term.
TELL ME!!! I want to hear from you.

I have been so blessed reading other christian women across the south's blogs. I want you to share in the enjoyment. Won't you?

I can't wait to read your comments. Please don't let me down.
