Let the Fun begin...
Last week we took a mini vacation down to orange beach. We went and did some fun, yet educational things this time. We took the kids to the petting Zoo in Gulf shores, and Blakeleigh got her first snow cone!! They got to pet the animals, and they even got to touch a baby alligator. O my and because the kids touched him guess who else had to...... Me and SHane... NASTY is all I have to say. They got to watch the animal show, and then ended our trip to the zoo with a walk throught the goat and turtle pins. It was so interesting to see all the information posted about each animal, and to see how many questions Kennleigh could ask her daddy about the alligator, goat, deer, and the tigers. SO after we left here we wernt to Alligator Alley in Summerdale, and again they got to hold and feed the gators. We got to watch the gator's be fed raw hog meat and some of the tricks that the different ones of them could do. The gator sizes ranged from lizzard size to 2,000 pounds. It was nothing shy of amazing to see the aging process and the sound they make when the food is thrown at them, and last but not least they actually fought each other for food. We took a walk in the swamp and got to feed the gators from a bridge. So the next day we had water day fun, and met up with Lexie, Breanna, and Uncle David for a day at waterville. O you can't begin to describe the fun that we all had from riding the waves in the wave pool ( yes kennleigh and Blakeleigh had so much fun with thiis) to going down the slides and relaxing in the lazy river. Blakeleigh would stand on my legs and wave at people like she was Miss America while we floated down the lazy river, and she would giggle the loudest when the waves swept us away in the wave pool, and not to mention how mad she got if she had to wait in lines at the kids slides. I think it is safe to safe Tissywas a true water bug. Kennleigh, Breanna, and Lexie preferred uncle shane in the lazy river who would let them zoom by everyone all on the same float while he pushed them along. David, SHane and the rest of us all enjoyed the relaxing time in the wave pool before the waves started, and the kids would just run and swim just like they did at the beach. It was so fun this year to get to be apart of such a wonderful family vacation. We went to the park and played on the slides and swings and the girls really enjoyed this. We went to get kennleigh a tye down shirt ( tye dyed like bailey) from the souvenior shop just to cool off. Also we rode down to Perdido Keys sight seeing while the girls napped and it was such a pretty place. We did take the kids by the bay to see the boats. We had a great family vacation this year, and can't wait until our next outing:)

Just a thought..
You know somedays bloggers just get these toughts of o my that has to be something to blog about.. Okay so here it goes. I usually only write about happenings in our life, but a they say it is my blog so here it goes....
WARNING: I AM NOT WRITING THIS TO OFFEND ANYONE! SO MY MOTTO IS IF IT STEPS ON YOUR TOES THEN THAT IS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO TAKE IT TO HEART:)
I shared on facebook today about the cashier at hobby lobby not to mention her store manager:) O MY!! Can you not count sister? DID YOU REALLY NOT KNOW THAT THAT $9.90 IS LESS THAN $10.00? Okay so maybe she had a rough day but day even after trying to explain to the sweet little girl... I mean she still did not get it:( SO GLAD THIS WAS MAMA'S TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT I COULD HAVE KEPT A STRAIGHT FACE.
To the Walmart Cashier in Greenville... NOTE this is no one I know PERSONALLY:) when your aisle says 20 items are less and I have ten. BOOM I can hop in your lane.. Especially if 5 of them belong to my sister who is paying with her own money:) If you are going to assist people put a smile on that sweet face after all you are alive and act like you are proud to be here!! Again I did nothing to you so you did not have to smart off at me, and like if that was not enough to snap at my sweet little quiet sister.. I mean really to pop an attidude with Ashley like I just don't get it.. Way to come back at her ash is a nice way.. Well I can See someone hasn't had a pleasant day maybe it will get better:) yep Ashley said that to the cashier!!!! WOW just WOW!!
More should be like the sweet little lady at CATO's on Ann Steet. O she was so nice as Mom shopped for some outfits. I think she got a few laughs, but I am so glad GOd Blessed me with that little bit of humor from my dad:) SHe was so trying to sell that orange dress:) orange is not my color hun!! Thanks for the compliment though it did make me feel good while you where rolling on the floor laughing at my comment:)
Technology....... Have we gone a bit far?
Okay really everything can be uploaded on such small devices now. However if you find yourself spending more time with your phone than your spouse ... PUT IT DOWN.... If go somewhere and they have to ask you ma'am could you lay your phone here while i cut your phone that would be much easier??? REALLY!!! okay and if you go to the Funeral home, WEDDING, SHOWERS-- chances are you don't need the phone-- just saying..
Okay so many may disagree about this next statement and again this is how I feel! I enjoy the app on my phone for the BIBLE. I like to have it so in between classes I can look up things, or if someone ask a biblical question it is right at my finger tips. However I feel that there is nothing that takes the place of the BIBLE itself. WHen I go to church I love hearing the pages turn after the preacher tells what scripture is fixing to be read. I just really think this awesome to use the Bible I haave used all of my life at church. For one, I think having your phone in church could be a slight distraction, and it could make some wanna read facebook and catch the latest news, or check the weather. I know some are more dedicated and can just use the bible app to only look up the scriptures that the preacher calls, but I would so read ahead. I guess i am so use to doing more than one thing at a time that I can multi task i would be blogging, facebooking, reading the bible APP or listening to the preacher. Whew my mind would be in 1000 different areas so for me I will stick with my Bible:)
Kids
I feel that God has blessed me with my kids and it is my duty to raise them up. I take them to church and ask anyone there they don't run around. I can't handle it they get like maybe two warnings and after that woe be unto them. I have heard parents say we did not do _____________________ cuz the kids did not feel like comming. REally so the kids run your house. NO you are the parent so you run it if they don't feel like going to church, town, etc you are the momma and Daddy. Tell them I am sorry you feel that way, but we will be going to ____________________ and if you act up I will get my switch:) i see this all the time in the dr. office, walmart, the grocery story, and well any where else i have ever been. Am i a perfect parent by no means, but I am willing to take any suggestions and try as well. so I must share this story. The other day Shane and I took the girls to Birmingham for Blakeleigh's dr. appointment. There was a little boy in there and his mom had told him a million times son don't jump off the play house or i am gone spank you. Ok mom! bang, yep that was the little boy again jumping off the playhouse so i was like o he is gone get it.. NOPE not a word she said i just don't see how you are doing that I thought your leg was broke. I wanted to say o well you might save a CO Pay if you taking home now. LOL funny thing is after he kept jumping off the play house and the warning from mom about the spankings that never happened, My CHild ( kennleigh) loudly states, :" Boy you better be glad my momma aint ya mama cuz you would have done got it son" O my! Well at least she learned early, and she is not mistreated just made mind:)

A little bit of Heaven on Earth
Granny and Paw Paw rented a water slide Saturday to kick off the summer. They waited until Kenn got a release from the doctor which I thought was very nice, and all of us had a blast. We played outside Friday night from 9:30 to 11:30 and then Saturday morning from 8 until 6. O my that 103 degree weather I did not feel until Sunday. Today I am still feeling it but its quit alright. THere is absolutely nothing like family time. We made sandwiches and Ice cream and just played all day. The kids of all ages had a blast from Blakeleigh all the way to the oldest one there :) THese moments are priceless and I took so many pictures to have them years from now. SO many memories made in one day from flying off the side of the slide (Leigh and Aunt Diane) when the boys jumped down and bounced us right off on the dirt to the slideing down with our babies and making sure they were having a blast. I think we all decided this is a must do again but definitly with sunclock.
we are growing:)
Blakeleigh is 18 months already can you believe it?
Gosh where does the time go just 18 months ago today Blakeleigh was getting ready to make her arrival at exactly 4:58 P.M. I will never forgot it Kennleigh was itching to see that baby that had been in momma's belly for a long time. Amazingly enough Dr. duggar went and got kenn and she was the first one to hold Blakeleigh. Yep thats right not even I got her first. Thats okay though. Kennleigh and Blakeleigh have such a special little bond. Kennleigh thinks the world is suppose to revolve and sit around blakeleigh. Kennleigh said she has to be happy, and did i mention she don't want me getting onto her for anything. Kennleigh Prays for Blakeleigh everyday and God has done a mighty work in blakeleigh's life. We went back to the Doctor the other day and they are pleased with her progress and want us to continue to exercise and get more and more sunlight each day. We will do as they say and see them in six months:)
In the meantime Blakeleigh is doing the following:
She is talking
Walking
giggling
eating so healthy
and learning so man new tricks
she enjoys climbing now too
Oops did i mention she loves taking kennleigh's toys away
She will run from us when we try to get her dressed in the morning
She loooooveeeeesss the slide and swings outside
She loves her trips to Nat and TOps ( tat and tops)
She likes when we go for our family evening golf cart rides:)
Her hari is now long enough for a tiny tiny pony tail:)
SHe finally weighs 23 pounds-- she does feel much heavier but nope only 23 pounds
Dr. Brannon said she is normal on ther weight and above average on her length
SHe is saying these new words, Nat (Tat) tops, BLock, Nan ( nannie) Nenn( kenn), Gran, paw, papa, Ack (zack), go, na, yum, eat, cup, and well there are too many more to list these are just a few cute ones:)
She is excited about getting Bella in the family too as we all are they play so good together. Jonathan looks after both of the girls:) I think blakeleigh will always bee jonathans Tissy:)
