Resurrection Weekend! Thank God for a risen King!

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ! On Friday, the girls went to my parent's house to color eggs! When we got there my sweet dad had everything laid out and set up for the girls to dye and decorate their own eggs. We had fun with that, then we had lunch with Grandmama, Aunt Tami & Auntie.....just girls! Saturday, the girls went back to my parent's to hunt for their eggs! We went to church Saturday night and had a blessed time. Sunday, it was nice to just take our time waking up and I even went to the gym and had a fantastic workout by myself:) Sunday afternoon, we went to our usual hangout(at my parents') with some of our other family, ate some good bbq and sides, with some yummy deserts.....Sock it to me cake, banana pudding and cookies!!! We had a blessed time and I thank God for family.....my family:D

Baskets & loot from mom & dad!

I LOVE it......my camera strap that is!!!!

Last week, I finally got my long awaited camera strap in the mail! I was so excited about it, because I am so tired of my neck getting tore up from the strap that comes with my Canon. This strap is so pretty and SO COMFY, it feels like there is nothing on my neck! Shey is AWESOME and she has SO many to choose from! Check her out yall. And bless her heart, she is BUSY and that is a blessing, so if you email her, give her time and she'll get back with you. It was a please doing business with you Shea! I pray the Lord continues to bless you, your family and your beautiful business! http://www.sheyb.com/

Oh, and the red is SOFT mink, real smooth on my skin:)

Easter party at school!

Simone had her Easter party at school today and she was SO EXCITED!!! We made the cutest baskets for each of her classmates and put lots of goodies inside! They had an egg hunt and the weather was so nice because it wasn't blazing hot. She was most happy to wear her dress that we have had for about 3wks, we are LOVING the green/brown combo right now:) Enjoy!!

Run, run, RUN!

As most of you know, at the beginning of this new year....January 6th to be exact, I started this new journey of running.  I have been training for 3 months now for the 1/2 marathon in December and things are going REALLY good!  I am proud to say that I am up to running 5miles at a time and each time I run, it gets easier and easier!  I never thought in my life that I would love running!  I have been blessed to have the best running partner ever, my own cousin Cheryl!  She encouraged me to try it as she completed her first 1/2 this past Dec.09.  She told me all about it right after the New Year and I told her I would do it with her this Dec. 2010.  I'm very excited & nervous, but I know this will be a huge accomplishment for me. I'm not doing it for anyone or trying to prove anything, just a personal goal that I have set for myself for 2010!

Stephen has been so wonderful and supportive of me!  Every mile that I ran, he was my cheerleader, telling me how proud of me he was!  We have been on this journey of getting healthier together now for over a year and its been wonderful to have each other to lean on!  God is so good and I am so thankful to HIM for each day that we have to live that day pleasing Him:)

My first 5K will be April 24th and I can't wait to get one race under my belt!  I know once I do the first, its on from there!  Be on the lookout for updates and pictures!!!  Run girl run:)

Wonder Hangers......Oh how I LOVE thee!

I bought those hangers that you have seen on TV called "Wonder Hangers" MONTHS AGO, and this morning I was looking through my cabinet that holds "misc. stuff" and I came across the box.  So I said..."Today is the day I will put these to the test and see if it really works like the infomericial shows!  So take a look for yourselves and see!!!

Hat Day at FBS

On Thursday, Simone's school was having "Hat Day" where you get to wear your favorite hat to school! This is the one she picked out and we had the perfect outfit to go with it:) She rocked the hat at school! Go Simone, Go Simone!!!

HAIR.......oh so much HAIR!!

On Thursday, I had to flat iron Camille's hair to get it prepped for the Father/Daughter dance that was lastnight! I haven't flat ironed her hair since last year sometime and I didn't realize how much it grew! This child has ALOT of hair and its thick! I am loving it alot, but my hands sure do cramp up when I do it, but she is totally worth it. I will not ever cut her hair, but she has already informed me that when she gets older that she is going to cut it up to her jaw bone and dye it blonde!!!!! I told her "NOT while you're living under my roof"!! and she said "That's fine, I'll wait until I have my own home" and I said "You got that right!".......Oh brother, I am so NOT looking forward to the teenage phase, I'm gonna be on my knees every night praying to the Lord Jesus Christ to give me the strength to make it through and I know He will:) Enjoy the pics!
