Is this when a nervous breakdown Starts???

 
 
 
 
Okay, so here I am trying to get ready for everything, and I turn around in the dining room and Ella has a pair of scissors in her hand and chops off a huge chunk of bangs!!! *sigh* I think I am close to my limit....nervous break down here I come...

What would a trip to the park be if Dad didn't show off his major skill's!! Seth must have been a gymnast in some former life! ha ha ha !

Okay, so maybe I am a little stressed out about my week ahead, but I have learned that when it rains it pours. SO this morning I am getting Annie, Jared and Katie ready for summer school, and some guy is knocking on our door at 6:30am. He had run into our mail box and busted it off! Seriously, you would have to be totally drunk to hit that mailbox, and I always thought if anyone did hit that thing they would die before the mail box did! Seth cemented that sucker in good! he he he! So, ya ONE more thing to fix before the big EVENTS!! Okay, seriously...I am counting on a few prayers from you guys for my sanity...seriously!!

Ella, Ella dancerella....

 
So yesterday, I began my quest for the perfect, clean, organized home before the reception and reunion we are having here next week! All was well until the older kids came home from school....things got messy... But anyway, besides that, I am trying to keep up with it all, and Jared and Ella are playing,laughing,pretty much going crazy in the living room. Jared is spinning Ella around and around in the computer chair....Ella gets down and says " I sick, Mama." Runs in to her bedroom, and barfs right in the doorway! I had just finished DEEP cleaning that room!!! So ya, I was lazy, made mac and cheese for dinner, then less than 20 min. after eating I was cleaning it up off the floor! I am just glad she didn't chew it up very well....hmm..too much information? Sorry. The other good thing about it, is it will be a LONG time before I am able to eat that again!

The Wedding!

 
 
 
We can't believe the day has already happened. Josh and Amanda are now married. The wedding was absolutely beautiful. It was so fun to all be together. I enjoyed seeing Jason and Melissa (and their family), Samantha Skidmoore came to the reception, Kizzie and Andy Westover were also there. I just want to say how thankful I am for Family, and for the FUN memories we make together....cause really that's what we take with us, right!? So, congratulations to Josh and Amanda. Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!!
