FireProof your Marriage

We rented the movie "Fireproof" and watched it Sat. & Sun. it is a great movie. I am hooked, I really hope everyone takes time out to see this, especially those with struggling marriages. It is a must see!!! See the movie trailer below, it will give you an idea what its all about, if u dont already know.

Happy Birthday Jasie!

It was Jasie's 7th birthday on April 2nd. She enjoyed ice cream cake, playing with friends and opening all her gifts. I love you Jas.

Virginia trip with my hubby

Well I took off this week to spend spring break with my girls. Chloe ends up sick all week and has been doing breathing tx three times daily. Laken is bored and mad because Chloes sick. They wanted to go to French Lick to new water park but we are goin to have to do that when sis is feeling better.

Ryan found out last minute he was goin to Va & Kentucky for work so I rode along. Mom babysitted for me, and I am glad I went. It was beautiful, you can see from my pics how pretty the Appalachian Mts are. Maybe girls can go on road trip with him too, when their off school sometime...Enjoy my pics

Design website help!!!

Does anyone have any pointers on creating a website? I would prefer it to be free. I have been looking into this for a couple weeks, so I know there are free web hosting available. I am just not too sure how it all works. Any ideas would be greatful. I am Sec. of Abate in Martin County so I decided to take this task on. I am thinking maybe this was a little too much for me. Just asking...Have a great day! All the sunshine and then some rain, the mushrooms will be popping up before too long! Yum, Yum...

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.

Flea bag

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.

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
