Pray before you vote.

You know how all of the signs are EVERYWHERE and you can't ever tell which house is for sale when you are looking for the one that has the for sale sign in the yard or the yard sale going on because of all of the election signs...well today I was driving down Reying Dr and I seen an unusual one...it said "PRAY before you vote"! How true is that!

So tomorrow when you goto vote PLEASE remember these 4 words! I know HE will make sure the right one wins! GOD BLESS! <>< Amy

Carter and my day out......

Hello! Carter and I spent the whole day shopping in Jasper-can you say NOT GOOD!

FIRST of all he was not in the mood to shop for me--just him-ha imagine that! We hit Hibbetts after I begged him to be patient in Elder Beerman! We were in Hibbets only to find out that they did not have the "catchers outift-gear " whatever it is ha-that he wanted .... OMG that was an ordeal- {Leslie I know how you feel with your boys} he found one BUT---it was the size that would fit Jason. Never may I repeat NEVER take your son to a Sports store UNLESS you know what you are doing. Carter had $ to spend from his birthday and he WAS NOT leaving without something! Jason is back out of town -- so I thought it would be a great bribe that if he was good we would go their last! Ha he tried to talk me into going there first!! Dont think so! ha
We then went to Walmart to try and find one more his size---no such luck. Their baseball gear is pretty well put away until spring. (Try explaining that to a 7 year old) We then headed to church and after church hit Kmart-- none there either! He was deteremined to find something! We went to the toys and he found a game he was interested in and it was $17.00 - he said "mom it is $17" - I said yeah-- do you want it?? He said yeah- but I dont want to buy it!! ha He is something else!! Still nothing!!!

SECOND: there is nowhere -- I mean nowhere to go in Jasper for womens cloths-unless you are a size 2 or 80 years old!! I guess I am off to Evansville ! Maybe we will find a catchers outfit there!

Have a GREAT NIGHT! <>< Amy

yeah Jasons home!!!

helllo everyone--- I just got home from Bicknell! What a ride! Thanks Lauren for escorting me there. I would of never found it!! could not get there again!!! I also want to thank Lauren for an AWESOME party! She not only escorted me to Seth's---she prayed for the food and for me and my business with everyone there. How SPECIAL is that!! The Lord was surely present tonite!! thank you to a WONDERFUL gal!!!

Parent teacher conference was today---it was ALL GOOD!! all A's Ill take that anyday!! on one part of the report card- they can get A B C etc. and another part it is S N U. Well Carter was all concerned about the S's ha! I told his S's are GOOD!

WE go to Lake Rudolph once a year {that is more than enough for me} We had 3 RVS (which makes it nice for sleeping) anyways--sat from 4-6 is TRICK OR TREATING! for the young and old! ha It is CRAZY! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE and their brother comes out of the woods literally and TOT! Carter-was a scary monster- my niece Emily-my sister Kelly - Becky and myself were DRS (thanks Debbie and Chas) Avari -3 was a little houchie coochie Hawaiian girl - she looked sooo cute~ there were several others with us too...You just go from campsite to campsite and people are outside - a lot of the people are dressed up handing out candy---there was one site that had the ADAMS FAMILY-it was cool--another one had a coffin with a girl in it--and she would sit up and scare you--- if you do not like Halloween-this is NOT for you!

Can you say FLU x's 2

Hello everyone!! {all 2 of you} :) I am back!! I have had the flu since Mon. a.m. It is AWFUL -- may I repeat AWFUL.......Carter started out with it Friday then I got it Mon. and so did Jason (except he is out of town working) sooooo...its been kinda a crazy week already!! Back to work for me tomorrow..you know when you aren't sick you don't want to go to work ......but when you are sick you WISH you could get out of bed and go! {that was me yesterday} I was TIRED of looking at the ceiling in my bedroom! Today I finally started getting more energy and actually drank 1/2 of a diet coke {for those of you who know I like my DC -- you know I must be sick--it did not even sound good} ANYWAYS- I was sent this picture (thanks Heather and Becky) and was determined to get it on my blog! WELL I called a friend who knows how to do EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING (thank you Nicole) and she taught me --

So below is the picture I had talked about earlier from the Turtle Soup party. Heathers shirt says " good witch" sooooo I thought I would title it good witches! Carter actually added the 5 {on accident} and since there are 5 of us {actually there are 9 of us- 4 missing} I thought it seemed like a good title!!

Well good evening to all--- stay healthy!!! <><

The Dreaded FLU -

WELL- it has hit our house~ Carter had a belley ache this a.m. but....I sent him to school-thinking it would pass-well- exactly 1 hour after I dropped him off the nurse called!! So I left work to go get him and headed home. We came home and he slept most of the day. Jason got home around 2:00ish and I went back to work---well he got sick again. I came home around 6:00 and Carter was camping out in the bathroom. Poor guy! he is so pitiful looking!He has actually been very sweet and loving--- {I love it when he is like this} It is 8:20 and He is climbing the walls!! Jason has a game at 9:00 tonite and Carter just insists we go- I told him that we would drive down there to get him out of house for a little! I know how stir crazy I would be!!!

Tomorrow is my nephew Colins soccer sectional! GOOD LUCK RANGERS!!
- planning on going but we shall see.

Also planning on spending Sat. night with my high school friends and their husbands and kids. Its time for "Turtle Soup" again. We always enjoy this get together. Old friends come home and get together while the kids run wild! Thanks Heather for always inviting us-cant wait to see you!!!

Shoot out to Kris and Tara! They are both at the Walk to Emmaus! Kris is an agape angel and Tara her sister is walking it!! I am soo excited for both of them to experience this together! Please keep them in your prayers! Have A GREAT Friday

Where have all my Wednesdays gone??

Well it is Wednesday again and no dusting no vaccumming no laundry not even time to get my nails done!! But it was a GREAT DAY-- Carter has asked me to come eat lunch with him for the past 2 weeks now and I have not !!! {it is hard to accomplish that task on a half an hour lunch} so to compensate I have been going to recess on my wednesdays off- they have been very interesting! Needless-to-say Carter says HI as he runs by me and all of his buddies are all around me-holding my hand- talking to me or yelling "hey Carters mom - this or that" it is funny!!! ANYWAYS today I decided to goto Carters classroom and work! VERY INTERESTING

Kudos to all you teachers out there! Dont know how you do it! I mean I sat there and felt sorry for the Stinker little boy that had to turn his card {and possibly miss recess} and I just wanted to give him a hug. I could not do it!! no way no how!! I would probably turn their card and then feel guilty and then turn it back! ha {not very good reinforcement I know}

I got a few good laughs though. I will share one. A little girl was crying and said some kids had made fun of her- well the teacher had the 4 kids that made fun of her stay in the hallway to talk to them...Well I was at Carters desk= there are 3 others with his in a group and the one little boy came in and sat down across from Carter and the little girl {who sits next to Carter} stands up and says WHAT DID SHE SAY??? and he stood up and says "ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS"!!!!! Carter looked at me and we both started laughing! it was Hilarious!!!!! Good for you Elijah!! haha

MY WEEKEND~

Helllo ! Sorry for no posts for awhile---I was having difficulty figuring out how I posted the first post {guess my head got to big braging that I did it all on my on :) } and I got a little confused-thanks Kris for helping- your the BEST!!!

Anyways.... Hope you all had a GREAT weekend. Mine was FULL! Friday night Carter and I had the anual chili supper at 5th St. Afterwards I dropped Carter off at the field to find Jason. {he had just gotten done with his game- needless-to-say-Carter was not a happy camper-but Jason decided to stay a little bit to watch the last game} So----- About 2 hours of piece and quite for mom and----- the door flys open and I hear crying-- you got it- Carter is crying because he did not want to leave. This is the story of Jason's life when they are at the ball field. Some of the guys on Jasons team were playing football with Carter and he
was having a BLAST and did not want to leave. Carter finally CRASHED I think he cried himself to sleep.

Sat. Carter had Kids Day at the square. This is so neat for all of the kids-they get to sell crafts or anything really that they have done themself and keep the money or donate it! {i tried to get Carter to do that---but he is pretty sure he wants to keep it himself} ugh!

$62.75 later and back to the FIELD with DAD! YEP ALL DAY ! I left for a scrapbook retreat with Debbie H around 2:30 ish. It was at Tiffanys mom and dads lakehouse in Duff-- It is so awesome out there! There were about 10 girls - and it was a good time! I got about 4 pages done and 5 cards........Debbie and I left about 2:30 in the morning and all but 2 of the girls were still going strong. I am anxious to see the pictures after we left.

Sun. Carter and Jason were up bright and early for THE 8:00 GAME. Not me! I slept till 11:00 (oops had not done that in awhile-felt pretty good) I then had to get ready for my UL party I had in Montgomery. I got home and we all went out to eat at Acapolcos YUM!

Have a GREAT Week!!

• PS. GOOD LUCK to my nephew Colin and niece Adi with their soccer matches this week!! GO RANGERS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU BOTH!!

Blessed !!

Today is my first day to try out this blog thingee! I have been wanting to do it for awhile now and just never took the time to do it!! TAAA DAA I did it! {Shannon you are so right it is easy} thanks!! {Hon...I know you will be soo proud-you did not have to help me}

Now where do I start! Well first things first- Today was a GREAT day! It all started last night when- the committe for "Just for Jamie" went to Paul and Jamies to deliver "the news"! It was VERY EXCITING - yet sad.......cause it is all over---6 months of planning-6 months of emails-6 months of phone calls-6 months of to do lists--and the last 6 weeks FLEW BYE and were CRAZY!!!!!!

Jason and I were so BLESSED thru all of this....we made new friends {hi Mary}-reconnected with a high school friend- and found out what TEAM work is all about...we just thank God that it was such a huge sucess and we know FOR SURE that His saying "I can do all things thru Christ who gives me strength" once again was what got us thru this!! Thank you Lord! Sad it is all over - but it is ALL good!

Have a great night!
<>< Amy
