David COOk.... woo hoo!!! I really do love him.. he has a great voice and he is a fabulous performer and sooo humble...

American Idol really put on a great show... my favorite of the night of course was George Michael. Although, he was sick he still sounded great ... he made me cry... I would love to see him in concert.. however I don't think he will ever come to alabama anytime soon.

and lets not forget ZZ top's performance with Cook... wow!

Now don't get me wrong.. I love David A as well.. he will for sure go far... I can't wait to buy both of their albums....

a layout using my NEW CRICUT....

SEAN got me a cricut expression for mothers day/ anniversary... it was just what I wanted.... I love it.... I havent made alot of time to use it... but tonight I used it to make a layout for Brynli's friend at school..( it is really for her mom) I just loved how this turned out... the journaling says..... The beginning of the year was rough for ya'll. Both of you head strong and opinionated, but in the end yall became the best of friends.. I used making memories pp and some card stock... ink... buttons...( I used school book plantin and alpalicious carts) enjoy..

Slowing Down.

I have been busy for sooooooooooo long, with cheerleading and school and kids and the office and house duties.... that I almost don't know what to do with myself now that there is no more cheerleading 3-5 days a week for 3 hours not including the hour and a half drive.... no more school for me right now, and tomorrow is the last day of school for my kids.... thursday we are playing hookie. I always look forward to summer time. That means we can stay up late and sleep in. ( our favorite thing to do in the summer)

ON JUne 3rd I will be having a hysterectomy, so keep me in your prayers. Sean is taking off the week at the office to be with me and help take care of the kids.. and laundry and ...well... everything.... I am hoping it is similar to a c-section... and i can recover quickly ... for my family's sake....

mY mom will be moving around that time as well... i am going to take some boxes to her house this week and start packing her up... to get ready for her move... I can't wait... she will be in my back yard... woo hoo.... what a help she will be to me and the kids and I know she will not be sooo lonely anymore... Praise God for everything. He is the reason all is possible.

oh... i almost forgot.... I took Randi to Cheer Force One to tumble last week..it is sooo much closer to our house and with gas prices like they are...it was a nessessity.... she was a bit nervous, but loved it..there were lots of coaches and she got plenty of tumble time...

It is Mother's day.... and .... mine and Sean's 12th wedding anniversary..... First let me say that I am blessed to have 7 children... and a husband who never lets me forget how much he loves me... His kind is rare in this world we live in.... He is loving ... kind ... patient... and giving... he is my rock, when I need him... he never forgets to kiss me goodbye even when I am sleeping... and makes sure to kiss his kids at night before bed. He works hard everyday... sometimes tooo much, just to make sure we have everything we need. He is goofy and tries to make me laugh when I am in a bad mood...He is my everything.... He rescued me from my own self destruction. He loved me when I didn't want to be loved. He kissed my broken heart and healed it as if it were new... and showed me a world of happiness... He stands beside me and supports me... He is my cheerleader, giving me encouragement when I need it.... which seems to be alot lately and although the past 12 years has been rocky at times.... not because we didn't love each other, but because of stressful situations.... It has been worth it all.... I love that man with all that is in me... with every ounce of my being.. he simply is my friend and I am proud to be his wife......and to celebrate Mother's day and our anniversery together means sooo much...

SAD AND GLAD AT THE SAME TIME...

As most of you know Randi ( my 10 year old dd..) is very into competitive cheerleading.... she is a faboulous one at that!!! she can scorpion and flip with the best of them... we have been doing this since she was in first grade... well, our season is over and the new one beginning... However due to the demands of me being in school... and Randi starting middle school in the fall... we have decided it was time for Randi to take a much needed break. It is really sad in some ways... but I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off my back.... It takes us 45 minutes one way just to get to the gym... and them 3 hours of practice times that by 3 days aweek.... and well.. you can see why I never have time to do anyting... So, as hard as this is on the both of us... it will be well worth it in the end.

On another note... I am almost finished with my finals... my last one is on tuesday... it is my math final and I need at least a 94 on it to make a 90 in the class... I am really trying hard beacuase I want to maintain my 4.0 gpa.... history I think I have a 97 and in art appreciation a 100 and choir I have a 100 soo that leaves math... ( not my best subject) I will post my grades as soon as I know somehting.

This weekend coming will be mine and sean's 12th anniversary ... I still love him even after 13 years of being together.... He spoils me rotten... he is a wonderful father and a great man... I am so proud to be his wife...

This is my last entry for the night....

I will be in need of prayer ... on June 3 I am having surgery... a hysterectomy ... It is much needed... however with all the kids and sean and our business... I am worried.... sooo if yall could put me on yalls list ... pray for peace and comfort in that time... also... for the doctors and nurses..that they have a steady hand and just that God will put his hand upon them .... and me....
thanks so much

Kelly
