Randomness from the past weeks

I tell you this blog thing is hard to figure out. First of all, it's tough to find the time to get on the computer. Second, this little netbook is hard to see/figure out picture stuff? Anyway, I'll try to do it more? Sorry for any large blanks/no wraparound texts? I promise I took typing 101 in high school.

Here's some randomness from the past few weeks. Still no pic of dog - he won't come out from under barn.

Amy came down from Atlanta to spend the night with us. Libby and Margaret Virginia were absolute dolls. Amy's cousin Bubba and his wife Diana came over from Hampton to get some of Amy's maternity clothes. They are expecting their first baby soon enough!

The Griffin neighborhood came over to say hello to the "aliens" and Libby got a chance to jump on the dreaded torte. She loved it so much. We finally coaxed Amy to get off!
Sweet Pressley posed for Scott to get some pics of her in the Little Tikes house.

Who would've thought we'd be together 15 years after we were so nuts in high school? Strange to see...We are so very blessed to have each other and to have these wonderful children running around happy and healthy! Of course Scotty went to get the children Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. Libby was in love with Uncle Scott!

What a fun night! We watched movies and Libby mimicked everything Lillee did. It was so cute and when I tell her how much younger children are watching her, it is so true.
How strange to see all 4 children in the bath together! Margaret will be in there soon enough.

Griffin has the coolest ministry for girls grade 6 and above. It's called The Talk House. It is based on Phillipians 2:15 - "so that we may become pure and blameless, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.

What an awesome verse to live by. We should all stand out and allow others to question what is so special about us. We decorated tables and mine was decorated quite quickly, spur of the moment night before! It was a great night with a good turnout to support these outstanding girls. They spoke from the heart to share their stories and their love of the Savior.t "How sweet are your words to my lips" Psalm 119:103The green table was Farrah's and it turned out so cute! She worked super hard on it and also did another table as well. The "doggy bag" table was done by Angela's daughter. It was Alexis's birthday and she made treat bags for all of her friends. What a special night to celebrate a birthday. We all sang happy birthday during the night.

"Why try so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?" WOW! My favorite canvas. What an awesome phrase for these girls to hear that are always trying to conform to the world and be like others. We all try so hard to "fit in" that we forget how much our Heavenly Father wants us to just be ourselves and live for Him.
We should "shine" like stars in the sky!

WOW! This mom did a great table complete with tshirts! I would've loved to be at this table huh!

Last but not least, Scotty and I went to Lake Oconee this weekend. Many thanks to my brave mother and her friend, Ms. Diane for keeping the angelic creatures and running them about town to keep up with their engagements! It was a weekend of relaxation!
