School started a 2 weeks ago & everyone else has already posted their "back to school" photos. Unfortuneatly, mine are all on the camera hard drive & I can't seem to find the cord to retrieve them... I did manage to get Danielle's on the camera card so I am able to post hers. Here is Danielle at the dentist & at her "meet the teacher" day at her preschool.

My brother Craig had a layover at the Dallas Airport on his way back to Afghanistan so we were able to meet him there & talk with him for about 3 hours. It was really neat to see the girls interact with him & ask him questions about what he is doing and what the patches meant on his uniform. It was also really neat to see all of the many people come up to them & tell them thankyou for what they are doing. There was a whole line up of people hugging the troops & thanking them for everything. It was all very heartwarming. As scary as it is for me to have both of my brothers overseas & in that mess... my heart goes out to their wives & kids. I don't know how they get through it all. I love you Jessie & J-Me. You are always in our thoughts & prayers. Thanks for all that you give up so that our Country stays safe!

Here are a few more pics of Crafts that I have done

Been Craftin' Just a Little!

Been Craftin' Just a Little!

So...I have been crafting like a maniac lately (so my kids tell me) but I have been having fun in the process. Here are a few pics of my projects!

Breaking Dawn!

Ok...so am I crazy or what?!?! On Friday night, I got in line (I was the 1st one in line...he he) at 10:30 pm at the McKinney Wal-mart to pick up the newest book of the Twilight series. A few minutes later & I was joined by 5 others. From then, the line started growing pretty rapidly. Some of the others said that they had tried to go to the Barnes & Noble to get in line but there were more than 5000 people there! and the wristbands were gone (you had to have a wristband in order to get a book because they only had 5000 copies of the book). So, they came to Wal-mart. While we were sitting there, my dad calls me from Georgia and says "Where are you at right now?" I told him kind of laughing & he breaks up laughing and says that He and Mary are waiting in line also to get the book. But...because of time changes, they were getting their copy in just a few minutes. So...what does he do??? He calls me after they get the book & he starts reading from the Last Page! Dad! What are you doing???? Don't blow it for me! All these people around me are just laughing until he starts reading & then they are like...Hey don't blow it! Don't tell us! What a funny guy! Anyway...we waited it out, barely, until 12:01 until they finally gave us our books! Yee haw! I got home at 12:15 pm and immediately started reading (while David sighed in the background...he new I was a lost cause until I was done with the book:). I read until I couldn't read anymore for the night (5:30 am) and then went to bed. Well, I must have been too anxious because I was only able to sleep until 9:30 & then I went right back to reading. David was a real sweetheart & locked me in my room (so the kids couldn't bug me) and brought me up lunch when it was lunch time & extra water & coke zero and then he locked me in again. I read all day long, not ever leaving my bed or getting changed/showered, until 6:30 pm when I finally finished the book! Holy Cow! I loved it! I love this whole series! and I love David for letting me get away with reading all day long! Anyway...then I was bombarded at church with questions from everyone that had not yet finished the book asking me if it was a happy ending & other questions...I kept telling everyone..."I am not going to tell you, you gotta read it" lol....it was so funny. Ashley finished the book this morning & next David gets to read it. Anyway....fun weekend!
