Joy brought this turtle up on my back deck today when she dropped Mason off this morning and the kids have had such fun with this poor turtle.... They've ran to the door all morning waiting for him to stick his head and feet out and he did at one point and I went out to take a picture of him and he went back in his shell....

I kept Mason today... Joy had her connect meeting, so she called to see if I could watch Mason for her... Jackson was so excited and he just couldn't understand why Mason was coming on Tuesday... He even told me at one point "Mason is not suppose to come today.. He comes tomorrow..." He's too smart.
Anyway, after Joy's connect meeting a friend of mine followed Joy back over to my house to visit for a while.... She's never been to my house before and since she had their connect meeting in Pleasant View, Tn it's only 15 or 20 min. from my house, so we decided that would be a good time to come! I had a very nice afternoon!
When Heather got off work - we met down at El Rey (family night) for dinner.... and that was about all I did for the evening....
My friend Chrissy, sent this to me today and it's really neato....
This is pretty nifty. Just enter your zip code in the site below and it tells you which gas stations have the cheapest prices (and the highest) on gasoline in your zip code area. It's updated every evening. http://autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstations.aspx?zip=&src=Netx

Sis. Monica and Stephen
Sunday Evening... We went to Demos' to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom and mom-in-law and some friends of ours went with us too...
Stephen spent the night with us on Sunday night and stayed all day on Monday....... My children just love him... Dawson lovingly referred to him as "Uncle Stephen"... We all started laughing... It was too cute... They have been talking and dating 1 year on Monday... How sweet!
Heather loves this face....

Happy Birthday, Miquela
.jpg)
My hubby was off today... Nice surprise... I love spending the day with him - it's another one of my most favorite things to do! YEAH! Anyway we had some errands to run and then we ate lunch together.... and then we had a few things to do at the Church...
Went over to my friend, Denise's house around 5:30 pm to celebrate Miquela's (her daughter) birthday party... Actually, Miquela's birthday was last weekend, but we were all out of town for a youth retreat and so Denise moved her b-day party to this weekend.... Miquela had a slumber party and she invited 3 other girls over.... We had pizza and Denise made her "famous strawberry cake" (best cake in the world - my favorite) We had it last year at Brayden's b-day party and ooooooooohhhh it was delicious!
Jackson walked by Miquela's cake and asked "can I stick my finger in it?" I said no... The next thing I knew Miquela was holding Jackson and she let him put his finger in her cake... It was so funny!
Brayden came home with Dawson - he was not liking all those girls at his house.... He was too funny!
Anyway, here are a few pictures of her night... She's such a sweetie! Happy Birthday, sweet Miquela! We love you!

Spring Youth Retreat 2008
Fixing to play another game...
Tug-a-war.... David, John, Jennifer and Phillip....

Denise and I left on Friday around 5:00 pm... We were suppose to leave Nashville by 3:30 pm, but some things came up and I couldn't get there untill 5:00 pm.... We arrived in Centerville, Tn around 6:30 pm and Cherie had everything done when we got there.... The women chaperones and girls stayed on one end of the house and the men and boys stayed on the other end of the house. The girls had a bedroom and they were everywhere in there and then Denise, me, Amy, Joy, Cherie, Kaeleigh, and Ashley all shared a room as well... We had a good time!
We just sat around the table and talked most of the night on Friday night and then on Saturday we played some games, took a hike, some people went swimming in a water hole and we ate a lot...... Denise made her banana pudding for David's birthday and I made Cherry Crunch and they were both a big hit for all who partook......
Denise and I got up around 7:00 am on Sunday morning and headed back to Nashville to get ready at Denise's house. It was too crowded to try and get ready in Centerville.
We had a good time hanging out with friends and watching the kids have fun!

David's Birthday!
Thursday night - my mother-in-law fixed supper for David's birthday (his request) instead of us all going out... We usually go out for our birthdays, so it was a nice change and the food was wonderful! The kids had fun as well and they put on a "show" for us too! They are too cute!
