I won!!!

So I had to share this BEAUTIFUL painting and story!

Forgive me if I am random in the typing, but I get so excited and can't get all my thoughts onto "paper"! Ok, so here is the run down.....

Madi and the rest of the youth group at our church were set to take a trip down to Tiger town to go to Healing Place chruch and to Blue Bayou water park. To raise money, they raffled off tickets for a 100$ gift card or a painting done by Angel Turner Dyke ( our pastor's wife and local artist) She does awesome work and is very talented. You can check some of her work out here http://www.ebsqart.com/Artists/cmd_83_profile_portfolio.htm Anywho, so of course I bought some tickets, what mom wouldn't?! Plus I really really realllllly wanted that painting. I've been wanting some of her work for a while now. Well when the drawing was placed....guess what name was picked for the painting?!!! YEP you guessed it....ME! I was so HAPPY! I feel so blessed to have gotten that painting. It holds special meaning to me and now it hangs right over my sofa in my living room! SO hereeee it is!

Oldies but goodies...and a lil more!

Ok so ya know how I said that I was working on this organization thing with my pictures....well I'm not even 1/2 way done, but I did manage to get all my pictures that were on cd's loaded BACK onto the computer. I'm so happy to be starting this project so that I can hopefully start scrap booking. So with out further ado....here are some oldies but goodies and a lil bit more! Chloe Grace will be 6 months old on Thursday, so I will post new pictures then. Hope you enjoy!
Do you think they look alike?

5 Months Old

4 Months Old

They both went to the beach at 4 months old. I found that kinda funny!

3 Months old

2 Months Old

1 Month Old

Big girls now

It can be some what challenging at times to get the girls together for pictures, but here is one that is priceless, just hanging out with dad.
Madi looks 1/2 grown and Tiffany is just as silly as ever. Hence, the funny "REAL" smile on Madi's face. I won't repeat what Tiffany said! ;)

Growing Up

My handsome man is getting so big. He will start his exciting year at Drew Elementary in Kindergarten on the 20th. He is super excited about going and even more excited that he gets to ride the yellow cheese wagon. Mom on the other hand, it’s NOT so excited. He becomes more and more independent and that just brings ALL kinds of emotions out. It's hard seeing him grow up, but in the same since such a joy.

Some more 1st timers!

This past week Chloe Grace had a couple of her "1st's" We had VBS and momma had to teach crafts, so tator bug (aka) Chloe Grace went to the nusery! A 1st! She had a really good time playing with Jada and looky looky....she's in the walker ( another 1st). She scooted backwards a lot and was VERY interested in all the pretty pretty's that were attached. Precious!

Momma bought me this fish and I luvs it. I give it lots and lots of "kisses" See....just like this! :)

Grubbin time

Grubbin time...good ole sweet-tators!

Hey ..come back here...

Playin with my duck-uck!

All by myself.....

Ok...so like I know that I'm running WAY behind on pics and I have a lot to share...so I'll start out with these. Chloe Grace decided it was time to take matters in her OWN hands! Notice how she holds the end of the bottle and not the sides!? I can't believe she is already big enough to do this :(
