Addie and the Snake!!

This is the picture of Addie that my friend, Donna, took of Addie and I at the Save Decatur Fundraiser! She is NOT touching the snake but I think that it is such a cool picture. She was sooo interested in the snake. I don't have internet stuff on my phone but Mrs. Donna and I figured it out during our boring inservice today. I bluetoothed the picture to her and she emailed it to me! Cool!

Continued Prayer Request

Regarding my job, for now I have decided to ride out the Decatur dilemma. I was asked to make a decision on Monday and I decided NOT to bale ship. I will stay until they decide to change my job and force me out. I could still take Addie to Anna's if I work in Gentry but I couldn't bare the idea of leaving a few other's behind. Mainly, the other 30 children that God has placed in my hands. Not my birth children but still my children.

Please continue to pray for our school and that my job will remain full time!!

Last but Not Least--- NUB's Place

Addie and I picked up Daddy at Nub's place on the way home Sunday. We had not yet visited Uncle Nub's new apartment in Fort Smith. Daddy and Nub had gone night fishing with Pa the night before. We are so happy to have Uncle Nub graduated and closer to us!!!

Great Aunts and Uncles


This is my Aunt Linda and my Uncle Barry. Addie's great- aunt and uncle. They are my dad's sister and brother. This is not a fabulous picture but they were playing with Addie and are always so happy to see her and visit with us. We always appreciate everyone adapting their busy schedules to visit with us while we are at home!!! Remember you are all always welcome to come see us!!!

Visiting Granny!

This is Addie visiting one of her other great grandmothers. This is Granny Helen Morrison, my grandma, my dad's mom. She had nine children!!! She is an excellent cook and it has always been a family tradition to go to her house after church on Sunday and eat dinner. I believe that she is 92, and she still tries to cook!!!

Groovy Tunes


I love this picture. Addie kept her hands on the guitar because she liked the vibration. But here she was looking at her Uncle Randy as he serenaded her with his wonderful musical talents.

Happy Birthday Grammy!!



On August 1st, we celebrated Grammy's birthday! She turned ??? well we better not say. We love you Grammy! We went to Gringo's for dinner and then to Marble Slab for ice cream. I had Orange Sorbet and it was all over me. If you look carefully, I have orange lips and orange stains all down my shirt!!! I am quite the eater, they couldn't feed it to me fast enough!
