Addi gave it up about 4:30 and she played hard the whole time. She never stopped at the park. She played Hide n seek with the big kids. Laurel was the next to drop out into a dream land she also played real hard. Thanks to all of the big kids who included the small ones.
Look at you Tina in the background of this picture. You just think Daniel is sooo funny. I really wasn't trying to get Daniel because I wanted the many faces of Tina mommy of 2
I just love this picture you are so sweet and happy. I just love it when you get beside yourself.ha.I know you don't get out often. We only let you out occasionaly.
Let me start by saying sorry I did not post yesterday, believe me it bothered me, but I was so tired from staying up all night that I had to get some sleep. I slept till 2 and then got up and out we went. Well, as you can see here is Hannah with her granna and gramps, she was actually laughing out loud, she was the fun of the singing. We were all sing silly church songs and this is how she participated. She is a beautiful girl. I will tell you I took lots of pictures of her because she loves getting her picture took, she will laugh in every picture.
Tonight is going to be fun. In the past the youth at Sylvan Springs Church of Christ have had the best time at lock ins. Tonight is going to be filled with lots of activities, not ony is it just to have fun but it is also a spiritual gathering, Alex will have the devotion at 2 in the morning and Joey will do the singing for all of us, not by himself we will all sing with him, and don't let me forget the hide n seek at Pleasant Grove Park when it gets dark, for some reason the kids love this one, also there will be Pizza at about 7:30 and snacks all night. There are going to be games to play. The adults that are staying will be glad when it gets 7 in the morning so we can sleep, us old people have got to get their beauty sleep. Just kidding we are not old we don't have a hard time keeping up with the teenagers and younger youth. I will be sure to post some pictures on my blog tomorrow so you will all witness what fun we had. Thanks for viewing my blog I have enjoyed this more than I thought I would, now my kids cannot get on the computer.
Just look at these two can you tell which one is 4? It is hard for me sometimes. Jazz loves being silly with Addi now Alex is in the backseat being cool of course, he lets loose every now and then.Addi got a fortune cookie tonight and it said your wish will come true within a month. Addi was so excited that is all she would talk about on the way home, she wanted to know how long she would have to sleep so when she woke up in a month her wish would come true, We all laughed so hard we were all crying, because she was very serious about her wish.
Look what a pig Jazz is. She did not eat all of it but she did put a dent in her food. Jazz is so funny.
Jazz and Alex and Addi got to crack an egg at the table and Addi thought that it was so funny she laughed so hard afterwards I thought she would bust. As you see you do not have to be 4 to enjoy cracking eggs on a table.
Hello everyone as you see here we went to Ichaban and ate and the food was great. Addi got Terriki Chicken and the face she made when she ate it was very funny she did not like any of the food there. The rice had eggs in it and boy did that gross her out along with the we had already picked out all of the peas, carrots and whatever else was in the rice.
Well, all of my friends have been waiting on me to turn 40. There wish has come true. Today is the happiest day of my life, 40 doesn't bother me at all I am just thankful to be here. Well, I don't feel as young as I use to,in a way I am falling apart.haha my foot hurts my head hurts and my teeth keep falling out just kidding, I can't get my hair to do nothing anymore it just lays there like I want to do all day everydaylolol.I can't run much anymore I get out of breath really fast, I have a hard time remembering things like my name, my children, and who is my husband? Authur will probably visit me soon and all of my bones will hurt. I know it sounds like I am falling apart but I am just kidding about all of this. I feel really good and I thank God everyday for giving me another day. One thing I do miss today is my mom would bring me a angel every birthday some were small and some were really big, she knew I liked them so much but I do realize I have a real angel around me now all of the time watching over me and smiling at me and I know she is not in any pain now. That does make me thankful. I want all my friends to know I will not be leaving this world since I have turned 40. (I hope not anyway) I am stronger than ever.hahahaha. My dad called me today and said happy birthday after my sister callled him and told him it was my birthday. Thanks Levi for the call this morning that was so sweet of you I love you so much. Jasmine got me a Lucy tag that is really neat and as all my friends know I Love Lucy. Alex hugged me and said he will have to get me something after he works with Uncle David today and makes him some money. I thought that was real cute. He was up real early and gone with David to get some work done. I am like my mom I don't have to have anything from them as long as we are all together and healthy. I love you all I hope you enjoyed this.
Just look how silly we are. Billy is so much fun. He is pretending to be talking on his cell phone. He enjoyed his vacation very much. We had a wonderful time. We never know what to expect from him.

So all my life I was called Wilma (Wimpy) until the great day came and my mom was registering me for school and they said they did not have a Willma but they had a Mary Brasher so guess what. I got a name change. I know this sounds weird but I grew up pretty normal with the name Mary. Every now and then my brother will call me Wimpy.
98. When my husband and I got married he decided to get me a car, well it was a car alright. It came from Ensley and it was a yellow straight shift Honda which looked horrible and did I mention I could not drive a straight shift. Well needless to say it didn't last very long and we took it to the auction.
99. I am a great mother reason why is my son and I go to the Galleria at midnight just so he can get that wii game of course it is Football. We have done this for years now.
100. I am a g reat mother because at Christmas we went to Best Buy at Trussville and I wasn't expecting to get a wii and there was people in line outside and I said "what are you doing?" They said getting a wii I was so excited because I was going to get Alex a wii what the lady didn't tell me was not till morning. So I decide to stay all night and boy was it cold. So I told Billy to go get Alex and he can wait with me. Who cares if he knows what he is getting he can suffer with me. So Alex and his friend Justin came and stayed. I got to sit with a lady in her van with the heat on while Alex and Justin sat in the cold. I got to Best buy about 6 and left the next morning at 7.
As you can see Camp is great. Sydney and Jazz are dressed like this because of skit night they did a skit they called Gangtas. Sydney has been a part of our family since she was born I kept her when she was a baby so her and my children played together all their life she is the best.
Alex is acting like he is standing on the Titanic. This boat was set up on the hill at Parrish Church of Christ. Their them was Pirates of the Carribean, they always have the best Bible School and we always have a great time.
As you can see these are the couples that went to VBS with us. Parrish had a very good VBS. We always have a very good time. Just look at Steven's face can't you tell he is having the best time of his life.
