1st day of Spring Break

Laken, Aundie, Jasie, Chloe & Hunter rode the 4-wheeler around the yard while they visited with Gma and Gpa Sipes. It was nice weather and all the kiddos enjoyed it!

Remodeling

This my aunt's kitchen Ryan has been working on. Beautiful!!!

French Lick

We spent the weekend with my aunt and uncle @ French Lick, only coming home to sleep. She is having Ryan to remodel her kitchen, so I decided to help to make it go faster since hes starting a new job Monday. We ripped out all the kitchen cabinets, primered & painted the walls. She picked this real pretty mustard yellow color. It's very country looking. I have before pics and I will post them later when I get the after pics. Gosh I cant wait to get back to my regular job to rest, lol! I am so thankful it was such nice weather, the girls enjoyed it!

In memory of my gpa Mink Bateman on his birthday

Birthdays In Heaven

Are there birthdays in Heaven?
Does the angel blow his horn?
Announcing to everybody
That this is the day you were born?

Can the stars be your balloons
And angel food your cake?
Presents wrapped in moonbeams
All the angels helped to make.

Birthdays meant so much to you
They were always a big deal
Birthday presents, lots of friends
And perhaps a special meal.

So I'll whisper a little prayer today
Asking everyone up above
To sing you a Happy Birthday song
And give you all my love.

In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him.

Tornado hits my friends house...prayers please

I got a phone call from my bestest bud today in the early evening. It was Heather and she was crying. She said she was trying to reach my mom and dad but couldnt get ahold of them. I asked her what was the matter and she went on to tell me that her and the boys needed a place to stay. I asked her if she forgot to pay her electric bill or rent or what? (something we have in common, always broke lol) she said no that a tornado had hit her house. I wont go into detail but her and the boys were in the bathtub because she thought it was starting to get really bad out! The entire roof off the back of the house was gone.... We got all her groceries out of fridge and personal belongings and she is staying with my parents again...Please pray for Heather and boys. She lives between Williams and Fayettville. I am sure there will be alot of news coverage on this area.

Remodeling

Ryan showing Chloe how to finish drywall. We are adding on another bathroom. It may be awhile before it gets done but boy do we need 2 bathrooms. Especially with 3 females in the same household.

old pics

thought this may put me in better mood, to go through old pics.

homemade donuts, mmm

Spencer Family

Valentines Day

My hubby suprised me with these beautiful roses and 2 Boyd Bears... Love u Honey!

Our baby has arrived;

Hank is finally here with us. We picked him out before Christmas but he wasnt ready to come home with us until recently. I posted pics each time we went to visit and they are on here also but you can see how he has grown. There is a very long story behind these yorkies, too long to write but this one Ryan bought for me and is very special "Hanky Panky"!!!

Minnie Pearl

I am not sure if you can actually see the price tag on this hat but it was cute. We were in Kohls and chloe kept trying hats and glasses on saying look mom, look mom, how do I look mom? So I said let me take your pic and I will show you how you look. We went to Bloomington Friday night with my best buddy Heather and her boy Levi (Lakens crush). We took them to texas roadhouse and said it was their valentines date. lol She said that was her kind of date, steak not a boy who eats salads. How funny is that?

Night out on the town...Thursday

Laken and Wyatt have a science fair project they are working on so they decided he was going to spend the night and we were all going to Wal-Mart @ Bedford. So they were all 3 ready when I got home from work and we went to Long John Silvers had supper, went to shoe show, goodys and wally world. I like having Wyatt around because #1 he reminds me of Jason #2 I just have girls #3 sometimes its just easier.

Wyatt & Laken few years back @ Easter

Laken & Trenton

Laken and her little brother, Trenton. He was born in July and this is Laken's only brother. She is very proud of him.

Lazy weekend

I havent done too much this weekend. We had pizza Friday night, Sat. night we cooked and stayed up late watching Swing Vote, very good movie. I have been going through some old pics. One of my favs is my brother and our cousins at church, I will post it. Later on I hope to get more posted. Oh by the way, maybe we should take up donations to help Nat get that pet buried, just a thought. (In the pic, Missy Bateman-Buffington, Jason, Jeremy Chandler & Jill Hovis-Hardy)

Winter Wonderland...

I took many pics today and yesterday, mostly of birds because I didnt have to get outdoors for that. LOL My cat (Mabel aka possum)spent most of the day looking out the back door at the birds I was feeding, I got some really good pics of that.
Ryan finally got back home after being on the road driving semi so there is a good pic of him and Max (our yorkie). Max missed him as u can see...

T.G.F.E

That stands for thank God for electronics in this house, check out the pic and you will see why. I think my neighbors look out their doors and windows to see if I am home and then they all say "Go ahead to Rene's kids, she's home"!!! I am definately the house all the kids come to. But that's ok, at least I know my 2 are being good, u know what I mean? So these PSP and DS's kept them a little busy.

Weather Outlook...

To all the bloggers who like taking pics of snow, be ready. Have your cameras charged. I hear we are suppose to get a considerable amount, not sure but thats what I hear. I know Misty likes taking pics and I like looking at Almost Divine she takes cute pics too. My girls are already praying no school. I said to them you have to go because I have to work. They arent too happy with me at this moment. I would like to see enough snow for the kids to go sleigh riding. Last year Rick (neighbor) and his little girl took my 2 girls sledding. Now that I can go there hasnt been any snow. I really would like to go to paoli peeks but Im afraid I may break something, besides Ryans wallet. Lol Stay safe on the roads & Stay warm...
