Weekly tid-bits and a Princess Party!

The most exciting things of the past few weeks...


-My Aunt Bette, my Mom's sister, has FINALLY moved here from Charlotte, NC! She has lived there since I was born. I can't explain how happy I am that she is here! It's almost like having my Mom back. It's just awesome...


-We attended a Travis Cottrell and Beth Moore recording last Sunday night at First Baptist Woodstock in Georgia aka "The God Dome". All I can say is that it was AMAZING. Travis and Beth both have been anointed by the Holy Spirit. We were truly led to the feet of Jesus. I hope that I will be able to attend many more of their concerts/conferences. I am so thankful that we got to be a part of it!


-Tim's school started back and this semester is basically going to kick his booty! Please be in prayer for him. I am so proud to say that he made all A's last semester. It was very tough, but he/we got through it! It would be very easy for me to sit back and be annoyed with the fact that he is having to spend a lot of his time on schoolwork, but God has given me a peace about this. That is how I know that this is what he is supposed to be doing.


-Addy was sick with a stomach bug all day yesterday. It was so sad especially with her being so young. It was very scary. She's fine today, thank the Lord!





And for the grand finale...





-Today, we went to a Princess party! It was Emmy's little friend, Lillie's, 3rd birthday! Meredith, her Mommy, had all the girls dress up as a princess. It was so much fun and the girls were TOO CUTE!

Lillie & Hannah

Lydia, Madison, Lillie, & Addy playing (Addy didn't have a dress :-{, but if you look closely there's a crown on her hat!)

Emmy, Lillie, Lydia, Madison, & Brooklynn

There were many funny moments, but I'll share a few of the cutest from our day...

*Trying to make Emmy's hair curly with a flat iron. I know that it can be done, but I just can't do it! lol She kept saying "But Mommy, I'm already pretty! Why are you doing this?" as I am burning her ear....poor baby. She's learning early that beauty is pain.

*Not knowing where Emmy was and realizing she had snuck upstairs (in a house she had never been to) and found a playroom.

*We tried for what seemed like forever to get the girls all together for the above picture. We snapped it then they scattered. Not two minutes later, I laid Addy on the floor to roll around and all of the girls FLOCKED to her! (Besides Emmy, of course. Her baby sister is no big deal, now! lol) I just thought it was so cool to see how these little girls' mother instincts are already kicking in.

*Emmy telling me that she would "help" Lillie open her presents only to see her start ripping off the paper of one and pretty much opening the whole thing herself!

*Lillie singing "Happy Birthday" to herself.

*Watching videos of Lillie's party last year. I can't believe how much they have grown!

*Since we got home, Emmy keeps telling me "There were 2 Belle's at the party Mommy!" in such a shocked voice!

We really had a great time! Lillie is such a precious little girl and so is her Mommy! Happy Birthday, Lillie! We love you!

p.s. Just so y'all know, my baby sister is going to be 18 on the 16th. I will probably be suffering from depression from now until then. Time just FLIES, doesn't it?
