The crying song......

The rehersal went well last night. We went through it twice and the first time everybody was laughing and goofing off. It was funny because I sing during the last five minutes of the ceremony and all was funny until I started singing. It got real quiet and then I looked and the maid of honor who is the brides cousin was crying her eyes out. By the time I got through everybody was crying. I was like Gosh, I'm sorry guys, I didn't mean to make everybody cry...lol...I guess my song is a tear jerker. The last time we went through it the groom started crying. I hope it's not my voice and just the words...lol...The wedding starts at 4 pm and I just hope and pray that I don't get real nervous and sound crappy. Well, hope all is well with ya'll.

Wedding Rehersal

Tonight I have a wedding rehersal to go to....yea....they asked me to sing so I guess I have to but I hate singing at weddings. They are alot like funerals...lol...I know that isn't nice to say but it is true. I don't mind to sing in church but weddings and funerals are so nerve racking. I guess because it is so formal it is just hard to sing at. It makes me nervous to sing at a wedding. I am singing a song that is very comfortable to sing which means it isn't too high where I will squeak when I get nervous but I am dreading it. I try to think in my mind that this is for them so sing your heart out but I still get nervous. Thanks for reading.....

Happy 60th....Dianne

I had to post these pictures. The other day I went to the Mexican with Dianne and it was her birthday so as you know she got the special treatment. They feed her ice cream and sang to her at the same time. It was so funny I was about to pee on myself from laughing so hard. She didn't know what to do because they did it so fast and they just started shoveling ice cream down her and she didn't have time to react or say no....I still laugh when I think about it. Well, here are some pictures of her getting her birthday present from the nice El Metate employees.

Pictures of Raylee's Graduation.....

I love this picture. Raylee is really smiling for the camera and Reagan is doing the shy thing with her arms and Bo well his mind was elsewhere.

This is Brittany and Raylee. Britt did her hair and I thought it looked really good.

My pretty little girl....

This picture is funny because I had waited so long for her to walk down the isle and when she got to me my camera shut off so she had to stop and wait on me to take her picture and she was looking at me like MOM hurry up this is humiliating.

Finally....all that hard work payed off.....

This was her teacher Mrs. Lola and we love her alot. Bo had her and she is wonderful. You can tell by her face that she is a nice and patient teacher.

The frog

I got to tell you about what Joelton did last night at church. Franks sister Jannet has three kids and she is now single. Her job now is nights so I have been keeping her kids alot to help her out so she can work. Anyway, last night Joelton (he's 8 almost 9) and Bo found a little frog before church started so Joelton being the critter lover that he is decided he wanted to keep the frog so he just stuck him down in his pant pocket and headed into church without telling anybody. Well, we found out after church when we got back to the house. Joelton pulled out this frog and Uncle Frank asked him where he got it so Joelton told Uncle Frank about finding it before church and that he had it in his pocket all through church. He said that one time he looked down and the frog was halfway out of his pocket and he had to stick him back down in there and then another time he actually jumped out and landed in the floor during church and Joelton had to hurry and snatch him back up before he got away. I just think this is funny. He even got up on the stage and sang with the youth last night, it reminded me of the Ray Stevens song Mississippi Squirrel Revival and how if that frog would've gotten loose in church last night then there would've been some women shoutin and screamin and it wouldn't have been the spirit either. Well, I just found this really cute and pure boy.

My weekend....

My weekend was pretty good. Sunday mom, dad, Scott, Stephanie and their kids wasn't at church because they were in Indiana for a weekend church thing, so church was different but good on sunday. It is just alot quieter when my dad isn't on the front pew saying amen and stuff like that. I also miss Scott and Steph because they are the leaders for all the singing so guess who had to play piano sunday...that's right...me. I can play some but I don't sound anything like Steph so I know that people are sitting there wishing that Steph was there instead of me but I am all they got somedays. Frank's sister got right with the Lord sunday morning. That was an answer to prayer. Please be praying for her because I know that the devil is really gonna fight her hard because she is trying to live right and serve God and I just know the devil hates that. On sunday night Frank preached and he did a good job. He preached about watching. It was about how we need to be watching for the devil because he is out there to deceive us and trap us when he can but we need to watch and pray and be prepared when we come up against him. Then on Monday I got up and cleaned house and worked my butt off basically doing laundry and keeping the kitchen clean after that we left for David's house for another cookout which was good too and we also did alittle fishing while we were there. The kids all caught a few small ones and they were so excited about it. My camera isn't working right now so I didn't get any pictures to post....: ( Anyways, we headed home and Zach and Alex stayed the night with my kids so they watched a movie and I just went to bed. On Tuesday I just hung out at the house and did more laundry and house cleaning so I suppose that was about it. Frank got a little bit of work done yesterday which is good since we need to pay some bills soon. lol Well, I know that probably bored you to death so sorry. Have a geat one......

I can't think of a title.........

Howdy folks! Yesteray I made a discovery. My place of employment is changing some software so blogger is unblocked for now. I don't know how long this will last but maybe a few days. We went to a cookout last night at some friends house and I didn't get home until 11 so I am tired today but it was alot of fun. We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. Frank ate 6 burgers and then some dessert. Gosh! I don't mean little bitty burgers....these babies were huge and he ate that many. It's a good thing that he doesn't have to watch his weight....lol....I know this sounds mean but I don't think I want a fat husband. Slim is just so much more appealing to the eye...don't you think????

My birthday is in 12 days! I am turning the big 30! I am not very excited about it. It just seems like my life is passing by so quickly. I just know that it will seem like no time and I will be 40 and that REALLY scares me. I just know that when I have this baby I really need to start working out and staying in shape because I want to be in good health and feel good. It stinks when you feel older than you are and that is how I seem to feel here lately. I know that having babies will age your body but it would help if I would get off my lazy tail and run or something...

Well, Brittany has finished her last year of school so now she will be looking for a job and I am just praying that she finds a good job that won't give her a hard time about working on sundays. I know I gotta let her go and let her make her own decisions but it just scares me to death. I just want her to make the right ones and do what God wants her to do. She really is a good kid and I wish she could find her a good christian guy to date and keep her company but those type are few and far between. Most guys are only after one thing and we all know what that is. Just please be praying for her that she will seek God's will in her life and go in the direction that he wants.

Well, I can't really think of much more to say other than I had fun at the family reunion and I got to see my cousins again which was really nice. I wish Joy and I could spend more time together. She is such a hoot. I just love her. Did I mention that Frank went with me this year for the first time....yea....I think he had fun. He loves to play basketball and they finally got a few games going and he had fun playing with my family. He fits right in with my family when it comes to playing ball. I got to see Aunt Cheryl again which is one of the sweetest persons I think I have ever known.

This past Mothers Day was mom's first one without grandma and she was sad I know but grandma is in heaven right now looking down and that just makes me happy. It's good to know where she is without a doubt. Well, I guess I should quit for now and get back to work. Later taters.....

Catch up.....

Let's see....I haven't blogged in so long and I want to do it regular but I think everything I have to say is boring but maybe I can find something interesting to talk about. I am 23 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby which happens to be a boy (Thank God) and I am starting to get fat. I have had a good pregnancy so far but I just stay so tired and sleepy all the time. It wouldn't be so bad if I could take an occasional nap but with my full time job and three kids at home it never happens. I am due September 16th. My kids are so excited about having a boy. Reagan is constantly wanting to kiss and hug on my belly. Bo is wanting to read books to him. I am just glad that they are excited about him coming.






Raylee graduated on the 15th from kindergarten. It was so cute. I will try to post some pics on here real soon.



Frank just called me and told me that his great grandpa is about to pass away. He is the sweetest old man. He is 96 I think. He has had a long good life. Frank just had a great grandma die on the 8th so we spent Mother's Day at the Woodlawn funeral home in Nashville. She was 95. These grandparents are on the opposite sides of the family. I was checking the news about Dottie Rambo yesterday and I seen that she was viewed at the same funeral where his grandmother was. That was the biggest and nicest funeral home I have ever laid eyes on. I guess I am not used to the city life and fancy stuff but it was awesome.




We went to Dollywood on wednesday for Bo's school trip. He was in the top 20 at school for Accelerated Reading so he won free tickets. I didn't get to ride anything but the tram in and the tram out...lol...It was still fun. Bo had a blast so that is all that matters. He worked hard and read alot of books so I was glad for him to be rewarded like he was. Well, I guess that is all for now but I will try to post some pics real soon.
