Funny Things

Just a few funny things that I thought I would share with ya'll. Before the boys were in school (and even now) they didn't know the proper way to refer to things, like all kids, they came up with their own grammar. Some examples of that is...instead of killed my boys would say deaded (ex: momma, he deaded my bug that I caught) another thing is instead of does they would say doos (example: john avery why do you line all your cars up? Because that's how I doos it). We (grammy, poppy included) have taken these sayings and use them all the time now.

The boys are going cradab (crawdad) hunting later today. If you want to see some pics, it's easier if you take a look at my facebook page. Hope that doesn't inconvenience anyone.

There are lots and lots and lots of pics on there!!!!

25 Things About Me...

Ok I saw this on someone else's blog and thought that I would do this on mine, not that my 2 readers don't know me well already.

1. I lost a tooth while my mom was at the tanning bed when I was little. My mom was busy so the lady that owned the tanning bed got me some warm salt water to gargle with.

2. I like to start fires, always have. I'm not a pyro but I like fire.

3. Some friends and I made a music video to Walk Like an Egyptian and Manic Monday by the Bangles on 3rd or 4th grade.

4. I have had my mouth washed out with soap, at school. I don't think it helped.

5. In first grade, I had a huge crush on Anthony Moody (we are friends on Facebook now) and I told him that I had to tell him a secret on the playground, behind a tree and kissed him on the cheek instead.

6. I have only had one broken bone and it was my pinky finger.

7. Joey was my favorite New Kids on The Block

8. I love to roll yards or TP as some call it, my dad used to take us.

9. I like to cook but don't like to clean AT ALL!!

10. I have a degree in Psychology and Behavioral Sciences. It only took me 9 years to get it.

11. I have lots of friends but very few that I do a lot with.

12. I had a guinea pig named Baby (after Dirty Dancing).

13. In high school I worked at a store that sold pool products and made gift baskets, because those so go together... love ya B.J.!!

14. My great aunt and uncle brought me a wedding present after I had been married for a year and they said it was because they didn't think it would last. Gee thanks, Uncle Red.

15. I used to suck my index finger when I was little....it was very hard to stop.

16. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to travel!!!!

17. Won an award in the 6th grade 4H roundup day for driving a lawnmower better than any of the other kids.

18. Won a seed spitting contest at our church's fall festival in high school.

19. Love being a secretary but wish i had one now.

20. I don't like to wake up in the mornings..not at all!!!

21. I am a clutterbug but wish I was organized.

22. i am really tired of thinking of things...this list is soo long.

23. I like Hydrangeas, Wisteria, Turtles, Stars and Moons.

24. I only like Barbeque PorK Skins.

25. YAH, the last one...I would really like to be a professional Motocross rider or softball player or something cool like that :)

THE END..I don't i will do another one of these for a LONG time!!! Hope you learned something about me and if you didn't, oh well.

Exciting News!!!

No, we are not pregnant, I figured out how that was happening and had that taken care of...believe me, the world is better off with less "little me's" running around..two is enough.

Ok, seriously, Brian is opening up his own shop on June 1st, 2010. He signed the lease today and has already (FINALLY) told his current boss about this decision. So it is located on HWY 231 as you are heading into Arab before you get to Warehouse Discount Groceries, across from Marshall County Concrete. His business name is

FIXED RIGHT AUTOMOTIVE
(256) 604-0736

He currently has a sign up stating that it's coming soon, so if anyone needs some work done on their car, just holler. :) We feel that this is what God is leading us to do right now, I have the insurance through my job and I make enough to pay our bills right now, and we aren't having to go into debt for this business.

I think and pray that it will be successful.

Well, I guess that's all for now.
