Yes, it’s is sad, very sad.
But it’s true.
I’m addicted to the CASH CAB on Discovery Channel.  Have you guys watched it?  Oh, I just love it.  I laugh every time I watch it.  I cheer for the people playing.  I ponder over the questions.  And I learn something every time.  It’s awesome.  Check out the website.  There is even a place for you to keep up with the Cab Quizzes!  Agh…..it’s too much!!!
So if you haven’t watched it.  Join me.  As Tony the Tiger says…."It’s GGGRREEAATT!!"

Hello!

We are at the beach!  Yippee and Yes, again!  My aunt’s beach house opened up a week before we were originally supposed to leave so I took advantage of it, loaded the kids and my best friend and off we went.

We’ve been here a couple of days now and I’m finally starting to settle into “beach mode”.  The kids eat what they want whenever they want.  All cooking was done on day one so everything can be heated from the “frig”.  And I’m beginning to relax.  It always takes me a couple of days to wind down and allow my body to veg out. I’m there. 

The house is on the market at home and my hubbie has been left with a few things to do before he heads south to join us.  I know God had me out of there so He can do his thing.  I felt this so strongly.  And keeping a house in “show status” with four kids is no easy task.  I’m hoping and praying that we will have a contract on the house by the time we get home. 

The kids are excited about God moving us to a new house and about their dad coming to the beach in a couple days. 

All for now because I can only get a wireless connection in one bedroom with the computer turned west and standing on one ear!

Sunning and Funning…

Hi there!  I have a favor to ask.  My dad is trying to sell his woodworking shop.  He has some great tools for sale at a great price.  I’m going to list the things he has for sale here.  He wants to sell them as a lot and they need to be picked up locally so please take that into consideration.  He lives in NC.  Please email me if you or anyone you know may be interested in buying these tools AS A LOT from him.  I have photos and a price available if you are interested.  Thanks…..Julie

Tonight we went and watched the boys practice football.  And since there’s not much to do I try it get a few shots in while I’m waiting……and then a theme arises, a moment in time that stands still for just a minute. 

Tonight it was watching my daughter’s emotions play across her face as she learned what it felt like to swing on a fence gate.  Wow.  How simple and great life can be!!Maybe I’ll give it a try… swinging on this thing afterall!!
I don’t know though because my feet feel a little weird leaving the ground.
But I really think it was worth it.  This is kinda fun.  Look Mom!!!

And I get a big smile at the end for a job well done!!!  You go girl!!!
What a simply perfect moment on my birthday.  I love the creative side of photography.  The part that makes me feel the moment. 
IN HIM,
JUlie

It’s amazing what a couple of kids and can do with balloons.  Our oldest sons have taken to body building with balloons.

I’m thinking they could start a business with this idea….
How do you like the look on their friend???  GRRRR…


And here is a picture my oldest son took my middle son and his best friend EVER.  Of course they are joined by the newest addition to the stuffed animal club…the gorilla.  Yep, Auburn Fans!
