McKenzie's 6th Birthday

Today my first angel turns 6. It is emotionally daunting to think that she has been here for 6 years. I want to be able to do so much more for my kids than I do now. Sometimes, the time just slips away from me though. I love this little one with all my heart. She is such a sweet, sensitive little girl. So here's to you Kenz! Have a Happy Birthday!

I have included a few photos from her first days to commemorate the occasion! She's going to love me for this!

Just minutes old!

Please be in prayer for me tonight as she is having her first slumber party. She is inviting 2 girls from school and her cousin Kelly. Kaleb will also be in attendance. I will have 5 kids. Yikes, what was I thinking. Anyway.........as far as I know this is the first slumber party for at least 3 of the girls, McKenzie included. Fortunately everyone but Kelly lives close. Kelly has spent the night with us a number of times, so I don't anticipate any issues for her. Wish us luck!

Have a great weekend!

Oh No, I've Been Tagged!

And so I have been tagged by Stephanie. I posting the 4th picture in the 4th folder on my computer. Since I am trying to preserve pictures and scan them in as I have time, here is my picture. Very appropriate for this time of year, and yet not something that you would want to post for everyone to see.




Hope you enjoy the laugh. I am tagging Summer L., Kari P., and Whitney P.. Go find your 4th picture ladies! I can't wait to see it.

Long Awaited Photos

These may be the cutest kids ever, and I am not partial at all since I am their mother. Their eyes have not been touched up, I was there and the blue popped out that morning as she was taking the pictures. It was very cold that day. McKaleb didn't last long because he was sleepy and on medication recovering from bronchitus and strep. You would never know from these pics that the little sweetheart was sick. Let me know which is your favorite. Thanks Rhonda and Kim for a wonderful photo shoot! You can view their other work at www.imageeverything.blogspot.com

Fireproof the Movie DVD Release Date!

As many of you have been anxiously awaiting the news of the release of the Fireproof movie on DVD, and now the information is available. The DVD is going to be released January 27, 2009. It will probably only be in theatres another weekend, so if you haven't seen it, you need to go. If you have and have time, you should go again. If not, you can pre-order the DVD at several local retailers. You can go directly to Lifeway and order here. I would check to see if Lifeway is offereing any pre-order deals in the upcoming sales ads too. They typically offer some kind of deal if you pre-order anything.

I am anxious for our photo shoot tomorrow with ImagesEverything. It is going to be cold, but I think it will be fun. I hope everyone has a restful weekend.

McKaleb's 2nd birthday photo shoot

These photos were taken by Jill Payne at the JCPenny portrait studio at Knoxville Center Mall (East Town). We went to HS together and have a couple of kids about the same age. She has 4 to my 2. How she manages, I'll never know.

I can't decide which is my favorite. He was such a ham for her. There were many more, but I didn't order them. I am not sure that they would show up on this blog since they are so small on my computer.

Let me know which is your favorite of my "little man!"

He is so cute, but then again I am partial because he is mine!!!



He was looking out the "window" and said "It's scary back there!" Too cute!



Is he a stinker? I think so!!!







He had a great time playing with the hat!



He has such a sweet smile in the one below!
