Happy 10th Birthday Logan!

Logan celebrated his 10th Birthday

on

Saturday, October 15th

at

LazerX in Longview.

It was soooo fun!

(I need to brag - we played three games and guess who came in FIRST on the 1st game?

Yes sir!  That would be ME!!  I was SO PROUD.

That was my 1st mistake......Pride comes before the Fall!

I wasn't so lucky the 2nd & 3rd game!)

Logan has reached double digits - where does the time go?



The Crew





 

He wanted a "Halloween" birthday cake! 
As a matter of fact, he wanted Happy Halloween written on his cake.
Being the Hard Head I am, I said NO.  I'm still disappointed with myself for that decision.
What would it have hurt?  It was HIS birthday!



Just a cool pic!

Mom & Colton
(Colton is the son of 2 of my best friends....I've known his mom since I was 3 and his dad since I was about 5 or 6.  Watching Colton grow makes me proud!)

Having a Dance-Off!  I Stunk!

The Candles Kept Re-lighting???!!!???

A GREAT time was had by all......until next year......

October

I have so much to blog about.

Logan's Birthday

The Yamboree

My Mom's Birthday

It's coming soon!

Blessings.....

I'm having one of those "everything makes me cry days" and reading all the sweet sayings on Pinterest is NOT helping.  I often wonder why the Lord blesses me so abundantly.  My life is blessed-more than i deserve.  I am not wealthy and I don't have the newest THINGS.  I do not live in a fancy house or drive a new bright & shiny vehicle.  I don't have the newest fashionable clothes or shoes.

BUT - I do have my health and a healthy son. 

I have a family that loves and supports me. 

I eat everyday.

I have a nice home and a nice vehicle. 

I have clothes that are nice and shoes without holes in them. 

I have a great job and wonderful boss. 

I have friends. 

I laugh daily. 

And...I have a Lord that LOVES ME UNCONDITIONALLY.  Wow!  I AM BLESSED - MORE THAN I DESERVE!  

I hope you are too.

I lost my Aunt Betty, to cancer, this week. 

I HATE cancer. 

 Being a cancer survivor -

I know how it can literally suck the life out of you

 and

everyone around you. 

The bright spot -

I was able to see my sister, niece, and great-nephew!

First Project of 4th Grade

Logan worked so hard on his

Author Exploration project for 4th Grade. 

He was so proud of the outcome and so was I. 

He loved his dog costume as well

- thank goodness -

since it was VERY homemade!

(In case you are wondering....he's a dog!))

I'm in Love...Big Hunk!

I LOVE candy!  I have a MAJOR sweet tooth! 

Did I mention...I LOVE CANDY!?

I am quite picky though.  Chocolate is not my favorite.  I don't have anything against a good ol' chocolate bar (especially if it's mixed with peanut butter) but I prefer Twizzlers, Hot Tamales, Jolly Ranchers, Nerds, ....did I mention - I LOVE CANDY!

Well....now I have a new favorite. 

While on a roadtrip, with Darin and his parents, to Austin ~

Darin's mom introduced me to the

Oh my goodness!

I had NEVER even heard of this little slice of heaven. 

And, I've come to find out ~ you canNOT find them just anywhere.

Darin went to Austin, again, not too long ago and I kindly asked him to bring me one back.  ((Secretly hoping for a stash)) 

And.... he was kind enough to bring me ONE (exactly what I asked for...right!?). 

What in the world??  ONE Big Hunk IS all he brought.

Well, good news my friends!  On the way home from Canton, today, I made two stops hoping to find a Big Hunk. 

Yes!  I had success.

I found a store in East Texas that carries them.

So, I purchased myself FIVE. 

That should last about a week!
