This Weekend

We stayed close to home this weekend. But were on the move quite a bit.

Thursday night Samuel had a ball game, which was one of the longest 7 inning games ever. The first inning alone was 45 minutes long! When it was over we HAD to get groceries. So at 8:15 these three and I headed to the store. And let me tell you, Thursday nights are not a good night to go to the store. There was no ground beef, no hot dog buns, no graham crackers. I had to make a second trip the next day!

Friday, we got to see our favorite # 8 play. (Well, he actually didn't play Friday night, but he was ready!) His favorite jersey number has always been 2, but this year 2 was taken so he got 8. And 8 just happens to be my favorite number, and he knew it. It was a sweet moment.

Saturday, this guy and I went to Samuel's last game of the weekend. If I wasn't 100% sure it was David, I would think this was a picture of Daniel. It still amazes me that they can look so much alike to me. Daniel and Anna stayed home. Anna doesn't enjoy the ball games, and since they cost so much to get into we let one of the boys stay home with her. It saves us money and makes her happy and the boys don't mind!

On the way to the ball field we passed this sign. Apparently neither the sign maker, or sign buyer knows that carpet isn't sold by the role. Oh, Pine Bluff I do love you!

Hope you had a good weekend too.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
