Funny video of a girl singing!

Okay. Get ready for this one. This little girl is just singing her little heart out to a Selah song in a video gift for her grandmother. She really gets into it and adds lots of special touches. She had me laughing and tearing up at the same time....then, the most hysterical part to me is at the very end, she says, "now, can I go play"? Enjoy!

Just hanging out at home on our day off!


Curt and I are so relaxed and rested since the kids were gone for a few days to Greenville. Thanks again to Kaye and Curtis! We REALLY appreciated the break. We took a few pictures today of some funny (some maybe not funny) things that go on around our house. These same things probably go on in every household at some point, it's just our turn right now.

Little Tripp loves to open every cabinet and drawer. He's really happiest when he can also shut a door. Sometimes he shuts himself into a dark room and cries really loudly!

Okay, we had to really think about taking this next picture, or worse yet, POSTING it on our blog. I've analyzed it upside and down, and from all angles, and have come to the conclusion that there is nothing to see, so it got posted.

Can a mommy have just a few minutes to herself? This is what they do while I am in the shower! They stand at the shower door, beating on it, trying to open it, and crying for their mommy. I'm sure all the other mommies that read this can sympathize! Mollie looks like she is trying her best to climb through the door. So funny.


"Where's Tripp?" He loves this game.


"There he is!"




Tripp's favorite past-time...playing with any remote control, telephone, etc...




My goodness, can our little lovey breathe when her face is up against the bedrail net? Seems like she would move her face, huh? (Yes, we moved her after we took the picture.)



We love these little ones!




Thanks to the Librarian.

This is hilarious.... are you ready for a funny story? I asked Curt to take my library books back for me, and told him they were on my bedside table. I emailed him the reminder notice so he could make sure he got them all. At this point, a fine for late returns was my concern.


That evening, Curt told me that the nice lady at the library sent a few of them back home that he "returned" for me. What? I was confused so I went to the dining room to look at the stack.

Well, Curt almost made a few donations to the Rankin County including two of my favorite Gayden Meltcalfe books that his mother gave me, a Beth Moore day-by-day Bible study book that we got for our first Christmas together, and a "how-to-be-a-good-wife" book that my friend Carroll gave me as a wedding gift (I keep that one beside the bed for sure!).

When asked for more details, Curt told me "you said they were beside your bed, so I just took the whole stack". Oh my! I'm glad he didn't dump them in the night return drop-off box! Curt is hilarious! He keeps me laughing!
