<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes when I’m at work and I miss my kids or it is late at night and I feel lonely, I pull up Facebook and I look back over my pictures. It is such a wonderful thing to have your whole life in pictures right there and all you have to do is scroll down or look at the different albums. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I did this recently, and besides an occasional silly face by Jolie or Joe, do you know what I saw? Happy, smiling, thriving children. I am so blessed beyond my worth. Our children are healthy, smart, funny, kind, helpful, beautiful, and in all honesty I could look at their pictures all day. I know most moms feel this way, and I am so blessed to have been given a mother’s heart. If you know me, you know my world revolves around my children. Their needs, wants, and happiness are put first. Some people see this as a sacrifice, but I do not. I love my family. I love spending time with them. I love playing with them, making memories with them, being silly with them, getting dirty with them, etc. This is the way I was raised, and I love that that is a tradition I am passing down to my children. I pray that my children have a happy childhood. I know that they will probably need therapy for a few things, but hopefully not too much. Do not get me wrong, we do have rules and certain behaviors are expected of them. I am sure some of the people that know us, believe we may be too strict or expect too much, but our ultimate goal is to make them Godly people who will thrive in their adult lives. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The next thing I notice as I look over the pictures is the many faces you see in the pictures as well: their grandparents, their cousins, their aunts and uncles, and their friends. I truly believe it takes a village to raise a child. Sometimes I reflect on the “village” we have created for them, and it makes my heart glad to know that they are surrounded by people that love them, pray for them, and want the best for them. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As I look back over the pictures, I know you can not fake the happiness you see. It makes me feel as if maybe sometimes we might be doing something right.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Sometimes I get Pinterest envy. I scroll through Pinterest and I think, oh, I would have loved to have done that for my wedding, baby showers, birthday parties, and so on and so on. Oh well, what’s done is done, and I will forever have the memories and pictures of the way we did do our wedding, baby showers, birthday parties, and so on and so on, but in reality does all of that even matter? You can have the most beautiful wedding and it be the most perfect day, but if there is no foundation of love and friendship, will it last? The number of people divorcing that married around the time that Joe and I married scares me. I often wonder are we next? Will we survive? PLEASE UNDERSTAND ME, I am in no way judging anyone divorced, nor judging divorce itself. Most people in my family and life have been divorced. I know that sometimes it is a mutual decision that both people are okay with. I know that sometimes one person is devastated while the other person walks away. I know that most of the time it is difficult for everyone involved. I was blessed with a wonderful step-mother that loved/loves my brother and me as if we were her very own. I know that people move on and remarry, and as in everything else, life goes on. I must admit though, it still scares me. I pray over my children and I pray that they never know divorce in mine and Joe’s marriage and in their own marriages. I pray for the people that they will marry. I pray that their spouses (and they) are Godly people who will be the husbands and wives that the Bible calls them to be. I pray that my children find spouses that love them, respect them, and treat them as they should be treated. I pray that we all get along and enjoy spending time with each other, Joe and I with the people they marry and them with each other’s spouses. I also pray for my future grandchildren, and their future spouses. I would love to leave behind a legacy of love.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">In honor of our 11 year anniversary back in May, I took pictures of the girls in my wedding dress. In some pictures they are holding a picture of me wearing the dress. It was a beautiful touching time for me. The dress is just a dress, but it has become a symbol of faithfulness, friendship, love, perseverance, trust, and determination between Joe and me. My prayer is that on their wedding day, Joe and I are still married so that they can proudly display the picture of them in my dress holding a picture of me in the dress.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Change. Like most people, my opinion of change depends on the change itself and the circumstances surrounding the change. Sometimes changes can be so small you do not even notice that they have happened until you stop and look back at how things used to be. This past year has held many changes for us. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Joe has officially been at Hyundai for a year now. Joe changing jobs was a huge change for us. It has taken some adjusting to shift work, but I believe it was the best decision for our family. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We have officially been attending (and joined in June) the Millbrook First United Methodist Church. This change was probably one of the hardest changes we have ever made, but it has truly blessed our family. I see our children, Joe, and me growing and thriving there, and my cup overfloweth. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We have had many health issues within our little Burdick family and our immediate family this past year. Now I suppose this does not qualify as a change, but it definitely created a change in our lives. I spent more time at the hospital this past year than I care to for the rest of my life. My role as daughter, wife, mother, and friend were challenged in each circumstance, and I came out of it valuing life and the people closest to me all the more for it. However, I think the hardest lessons (and probably the most needed lessons) were (1) Leaning on others: I had to depend on others which is very hard for me. I feel that when I ask others for help it means (a) I have failed because I can not do it; and (b) I hate the thought of inconveniencing people. And (2) I can’t control everything. I know that sounds stupid, and obviously I don’t truly believe that I can control everything, but I do feel that I should always have an answer for everything. This past year, sometimes I didn’t have the answer, and we just had to “ride out the storm.” Of course, God has always provided (which I knew he would, but sometimes my faith falters) whether it was with money, help by family or friends, or healing.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My children are growing. Yes I know that is an obvious change, but sometimes it makes a Mommy sad. I remember days when I thought it would be so good to have them in school. Now as it gets closer to Jolie starting kindergarten, I don’t know if I feel the same way. I find it hard to believe that I have two school age children. Have they really grown that much? Are they ready? This is Josie’s last year at the elementary school. Next year she goes to the Intermediate school. The Intermediate school!!!! </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">Of course, there have been other changes: relationships, births, deaths, people moving, and other normal things. And I look back and some of our changes were profound changes and some were subtle, however, change is necessary in life. How can we grow if we never change? How can fulfill our calling if we never move outside of our comfort zone? </span></div>

I'm not sure why, but I guess someone out there needs to read this. <br />
<br />
We hear so many people talk about testimonies, or they make a comment similar to "Oh, he/she has such a good testimony, have you heard it?" One day I started thinking about my own testimony. I have never had an Ah-ha moment when one minute I didn't believe and the next I did. I honestly have never asked God to come into my heart. <br />
<br />
I started to get a little worried and wondered what that meant for me, and then it hit me. My testimony is of faithfulness. Not my faithfulness to God, but his to me. I have always known God. I did not have to ask God into my heart becuase like my parents, he has always been there. I do not remember a time of not knowing God. I was brought up in church and some of my earliest memories of childhood are of being in the Presbyterian Church in Washington, Pennsylvania. That is where I learned the Lord's Prayer. When we moved to Alabama my brother and I continued to be raised in church, and I have stayed very active in church my entire life. I, like every one else, have had ups and downs in my life, and through every single one, God was there. He has never left my side. He has been faithful to me since the moment I was born into this earthly world. Now, in all honesty there have been moments where I have felt him more, or I can look back and say, yes, he definitely had his hand in that situation, but even in the times when I didn't necessarily "feel" him, I knew he was there. <br />
<br />
And now as I look at my children, I can see this same testimony in their lives. They have been in church from the moment they were conceived. I remember each one of them jumping in my belly as we sang songs in church, and they continue to be active in church today. And I know going to church does not make you a Christian and does not mean you have a relationship with God, but I see God working in their lives. I see them praying to God and it makes my heart glad. I know there may come a time when they may doubt, or wonder away from church or God, but I know God will continue to be faithful to them.<br />
<br />
God has been faithful to us all, no matter how long <u>you</u> have known Him. "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord . . ." Jeremiah 29.11.<br />
<br />
So if anyone else out there is wrestling with not having an "ah-ha" moment with God, that's okay. Your testimony is different, but just as good as everyone else's because it is yours, whatever it may be.<br />
<br />

Other Mama and I took the kids to the Zoo. It was during this Zoo visit that we learned that Joel has been taught that an elephant says, "Roll Tide." He was so darn cute the whole time. Do you see the toy phone he has in his hand, well at every animal he would flip it open and take a "picture" of the animal. He had Other Mama and me cracking up the whole morning. In this picture he is taking a picture of me while I'm taking a picture of him and Other Mama:<br />

<br />
This has been another year of changes for the Burdick Family. To name a few: Josie turned 6 (now she is about to turn 7), Jolie turned 5, Joel turned 2, and Joe and I both turned 30 (although in about 3 weeks Joe will be 31). Josie started 1st grade and Joel moved from a home daycare to the Child Development Center with Jolie. After 11+ years with Robert Trent Jones, Joe started working for Hyundai in July. Our old van was costing us more than what it is worth and broke down one too many times and so we have aquired a "new to us" van (a 2004 Honda Odyssey). We had to put our beloved dogs, Browning and Cherry, to sleep. After 20+ years at our church of First Presbyterian we started visiting First Methodist in Millbrook. The children have become very active and are loving it. Josie has turned into quite the songbird singing in the children's choir at church and at school. Jolie has also sang in the preschool choir at church. Joel was weaned of his paci. Lastly, the Tooth Fairy has started making appearances at our house. <br />
<br />
And now we find our ourselves at Christmas and ending this year. We are preparing for the next year where I'm sure there will be more changes. This has been a tough Christmas season for me. I do not feel like I have been able to enjoy it and have gotten off centered. I feel overwhelmed with life, but am trying to make Christmas as normal for the children as possible. I feel like I am failing, but I pray that I am not. Now that Josie is older and can comprehend things better I have tried to stress to all of them but especially her that Christmas is not about presents or "me, me, me," but about the gift of baby Jesus and all that that entails. She can tell you that, but I pray that I am really teaching her what that means. I normally really relate to Christmas because I was very pregnant in 2005 at Christmas with Josie. I remember crying during the Christmas Eve candle light service trying to imagine what Mary felt. Knowing that a precious baby was growing inside me that would never truly be mine, but the Lords. In the movie version of the Grinch, Little Cindy-Lou Who sings a song, "Where are you Christmas, why can't I find you, why have you gone away..." That is me right now as other things occupy my mind. I pray that all of you have "found" Christmas this year, but for those of you struggling like me, I will pray for you. I pray that you will feel that special "magic" that centers us on the real reason for the season. Not the presents, not the parties, and not the food, but because a beautiful precious child was born. A child that changed our lives forever. <br />
<br />
However, I do say the above knowing that I am very blessed, and as I look at the pictures below I am reminded of how very grateful I am. God has given me more than I deserve, and I am eternally thankful. <br />
<br />
We do have an exciting Christmas planned. This will be the kids first Christmas in Pennsylvania. I have not been up there in 12 years and Joe, Jolie, and Joel have never been. Josie went once with my mom when she was 18 months old. My grandmother and aunts have never met Joel and have only seen Jolie once and Josie twice. The 13+ hour drive should be interesting, but it will be well worth it. We leave this Saturday morning as soon as Joe gets home from work and we will head back home early Wednesday morning. <br />
<br />
Out of the Silence, Music. Out of the darkness, Light. Out of Uncertainity, Promise. Hope was born that night. <br />
<br />
<br />
Merry be your Christmas. Peaceful be your home. Joyful be your family. Blessed be each one!<br />
<br />
From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!<br />

I can't believe I can now say I have a 6.5 year old, 5 year old, and 2 (as of this coming Sunday) year old. What has happened to these last 6.5 years???<br />
<br />
Jolie Hannah is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She is kind hearted and loving. She is smart, beautiful, and loves to laugh. She loves to question things and figure out how things work. She is one of the fastest thinking people I know and answer an answer for everything :) I am so blessed that God chose me to be her Mommy. I love that little girl so much and can not wait to see the woman she turns into.<br />
<br />
Bless her heart she was counting down the days until her birthday. She was so excited. Friday (her birthday) I dressed her real pretty for school and dropped her off.<br />
<br />

But she didn't know that Joe and I planned to surprise her that afternoon with a mini party at school. As soon as I got off work at 2:00 I rushed home, got Joe and we headed to MCDP. Her class was in another classroom so we put out plates, napkins, kool-aid jammers, mini-cupcakes, goldfish, and each kid got a an eraser that either looked like a animal or truck, airplane, etc. We bought a balloon and put it at her seat. Then Ms. Jessie went and got Jolie's class. All the kids walked in and were so excited to see the classroom. Jolie's little face lit up when she saw Joe and I. We sang her happy birthday, she got to blow out the candles on her cupcake, and she and her friends ate and played with their new erasers. When they finished up I got down on the floor and read them probably 6 or 7 books. I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures from school or dinner :(<br />
<br />
After that we cleaned up and headed to Bass Pro Shops. She was so cute. She kept walking up to random BPS employees and telling them that today was her birthday and she was five. She was so darn cute. After BPS we met Aunt Sheila, Uncle Quint, Caden, and Ansleigh at Mellow Mushroom for dinner, leftover cupcakes and some presents and cards from Grammy and Other Mama & Pap-Paw. Joe and I gave her a cross necklace and matching earrings. Josie got her a book and a purse full of goodies, Joel got her a Hello Kitty cup and a pair of sparklie knock-off Tom shoes, and Caden & Ansleigh got her some My Little Ponies. This year she has been especially excited about cards. She got one from the "Church Mouse" from First Pres and she has carried that thing around and not let Josie touch it. The cards she got at dinner she put in her purse for save keeping. Most kids could care less about the cards after their opeend. Along with the cards, she stuffed everything she could into her purse and was ready to go to the Mall to get her ears pierced. So we said our goodbyes to Josie, Joel, Caden, Ansleigh, Joe & Quint and Sheila, Jolie and I headed to Claires at the Mall. <br />
<br />
Jolie looked at earring options and new immediately she wanted the pink hearts. She climbed up in the chair and did great. She never cried or even said ouch. It was so cute because later Sheila kept going on and on about proud she was of Jolie and Jolie responded, "You wouldn't have been proud of me if I had cried." Sheila assured her she would have been :)<br />

After Claires we headed over to Jolie's new favorite store, Bath & Body Works. She walked in telling everyone that she it was her birthday, that she was 5, and that she had just gotten hear ears pierced. The girls fell in love with her and wanted to give her the sparkle treatment for her birthday. They gave her a special sparkly lotion to put on her legs and then found some sparkly lip gloss for her lips. Jolie loved every second of it.</div>

After the Mall we took her for some frozen yogurt. All in all I would say she had a fabulous birthday. <br />
<br />
On the way home from dropping Aunt Sheila off she and I somehow got into a deep discussion about God. She made a comment that he is everywhere. And I said yes, he is always with us no matter what. And she said something about being sad, and I told her that God is with us when we are sad and that if you ask God to give you a hug if you sit real still, you can feel him with you. So the next thing I hear is, "God, I want a hug." She said, "Mommy I don't feel anything." I asked, "Are you sitting real still? Sometimes you have to close your eyes even." She waited a few seconds and then said, "Mommy I feel him. He's soft. God, Mommy needs a hug. Mommy can you feel him? Isn't he soft?" Oh, how I love this precious little girl. I know God has big plans for her. <br />

He will repeat anything you say to him, loves playing with his new friends, is learning his colors, shapes, numbers, letters, and like his sisters loves to learn new things. His biggest milestone at the current time is giving up his paci. Tuesday the teachers told us they would really like for us work on taking it away from him. I thought long and hard about how we could do this. Joel loves Browning. So Joe and Joel walked outside and gave his paci to Browning so that Browning could sleep better at night. He cried for it a little bit Tuesday night before we put him to bed but once we put him in his bed, he never cried for it. The next morning was a little harder. Joel loves his paci and lovie aka "Chops" first thing in the morning like most people love coffee. He cried and fussed for it, but I reminded him that he gave it to Browning and started talking about his friends at school and he never said another word. They did have to give it to him at nap time yesterday but as soon as nap time was over he gave it right back to his teachers. Last night he did fine at church without it, but had a little trouble going to sleep. I ended up rocking him (which of course I don't mind at all, be still my heart), and this morning he only fussed a little. I'm sure each day will get easier, but I just can not believe how much of a big boy he is or that he will be 2 in 10 days. <br />
<br />
I don't know about y'all, but when I hear people talk about a place or a person, I like to picture that place or person. It is always interesting to finally meet or see a person after hearing much talk of him/her/it. I talk quite often about MCDP and now I finally have pictures of Joel's classroom. They are the "Mustangs in Training" because the mascot for the school system the kids are in is the Mustangs. They recently redid the classroom to make the room for the younger class they just added.<br />

This is a picture they texted me yesterday. He got a hold of the director's (Ms. Cynthia) drink and started sipping. His little hands around this huge cup crack me up.<br />

(1) Joe has changed shifts. He is now on the 10:30 p.m. to 6:45 a.m. shift. The kids don't really notice a difference since he is at home in the evenings to help with dinner, homework, and baths, but I notice an empty bed again. (2) Joel has started potty training at school and some at home. We are in the early stages, but he is showing some of the signs of being ready which is a full year earlier than the girls started showing signs. After 6.5 years of kids in diapers, it will be a day of rejoicing when we no longer have to make diaper/pull-up runs. (3) Josie's top front teeth are loose. She is so excited. (4) The biggest change has had the most effect on us all. We are visiting another church- First United Methodist in Millbrook. It is behind the Village Green Park in downtown Millbrook. This was not a decision that was made easily, and actually has been been a topic between Joe and I for probably a year or two now. I have had this nagging feeling in my heart that God wanted us somewhere else. I ignored it for a while and finally talked to Joe about it. He also felt God letting him know that it was time to move to a new place. We both ignored it. This was the church I grew up and Joe has attended for the past 15 years, the church we married in, the church where we both have served as elders, the church I preached from the pulpit and helped lead the congregation when we had no pastor, the place all three of our children were baptized, the place that both girls haven taken up offering, and Josie had the great honor of being an acolyte. It was too hard of a decision. There were too many memories, and that was our family. The feeling got stronger and stronger, and then one day we realized, we just can't ignore God anymore. How can we teach our children to be obedient, when we ourselves were not being obedient? We began to research the churches in our area to see what our options were and we began to pray, we both felt led to the same place-First Methodist. We have now been 4 Sundays and one Wednesday. The first time we went the girls came out of Sunday School asking to go back the next Sunday. This was not a prompted question, it was just stated. Sitting in the santcuary I finally found a peace I have not felt in probably two years. We have made no final decisions and we will continue to pray and follow where we feel God is leading us. I can honestly say throughout our ten year marriage this was one of the top 10 hardest decisions we have made, but we already feel the rewards of being obedient. We have spoken to our pastor and a few people from First Presbyterian and all have been very supportive, which has helped with making this decision. All one can do is follow where they feel God is leading them. He talks to all of us differently and at different times, but I encourage you all to listen to to the still small voice instead of your own wants, desires, society, and other people who may try to lead you astray from God's wants and desires for you. Only He knows what he has in store for you and only He knows where your perfect place is. Here is a picture of Joel passed out after a morning at church (Doesn't he look like such a big boy with his khaki pants and big boy shoes):<br />

Other than the above, things have been relatively calm in our house. We have been lazy the past two weekends and have not had much on the agenda. Labor Day weekend we had a playdate with the Collins Family Friday night, Saturday I took the kids to Chuck-E-Cheese with Quint and Sheila and later we watched the first Bama game, Sunday we had church and Monday we had lunch at Other Mama and Pap-Paw's house. Josie got a 100 on her first and second spelling tests and brought home a big stack of graded papers the other day that all had 100s on them. She is loving school and loves doing homework. Jolie is excited because she has been getting homework as well. Her handwriting is improving and if I knew the techniques for teaching her how to read, I think she could learn. She wants to learn, so we need to find out what we can do to help her learn. <br />
<br />
Last week our van also broke down. I was on my way to take the kids to school before going into work and it started making a funny noise. I pulled off and checked the tires, and got back in the van and it would not go. Thank goodness Joe was leaving work so he came straight from Hyundai to pick us up. We still do not know what is wrong, but we are thinking it is the transmission. We have already started looking around for another van because we have a feeling that is going to be the best option. <br />
<br />
This past Friday evening Other Mama and I took the girls to Ballet and the Beasts at the Montgomery Zoo. It is a free event that the Montgomery Ballet and Zoo put on. It was awesome!! I think we will definitely try to make it a girls tradition each year. The Zoo reopens at 6 and you can walk around or ride the train and they also have educational animals out, then around 7:30 the ballet starts. You can take blankets, chairs, or there are bleachers. You can take your own food or buy concessions there. We had eaten before, so I just took snacks. The girls loved it and at intermission got up to dance around. They were so cute. Saturday morning we left the house so Joe could get some sleep. We went to Hobby Lobby looking for things for Joel & Jolie's birthday party and then Bath & Body Works. The woman who worked there spoiled the girls. The smelled all the different smells, she let them wash their hands in two or three different scented soaps, and then got ribbon bracelets that she sprayed with their favorite scent. It was definitely a good outing when all I went in for was one little thing. Then we came home to pack for their first ever not at home, non-relative slumber party. Ms. Jessie (Jolie's teacher from MCDP) invited some girls over for a slumber party. They had a blast.<br />

Joe had to work Saturday night so he got in to help me get Joel ready for church and then Joel and I went to go get the girls from Ms. Jessie's house. We got them ready and headed to church. After church we took afternoon naps and woke up to do a John Deere photo shoot in the field in front of our house for Joel & Jolie's birthdays. (Joel & Jolie's tractor shirts were made by Joe's cousin, Rachel, for their birthday party.)</div>

Final plans are being made for their party and they are getting excited. I can't believe we are about to be able to say that we have two children over the age of 5. Time is flying by and we're just along for the ride :)</div>

We were so proud of all three of them.<br />
<br />
Josie: Loved every second of it. Someone came and read to them and she just thought that was so neat. She had happy faces every day. She did have a big adventure on the first day of school. In the mornings Joe or I will drop her off at school, and in the afternoons she rides the bus to MCDP where Joel and Jolie are at. Well on her first day of school somone put her on the wrong bus. When Joe went to MCDP to pick all 3 of them up, Josie wasn't there. She wasn't the only one put on the wrong bus, and after much traveling back and forth between Coosada Elementary and MCDP, he finally had Josie safe and sound. It never scared her and the funniest thing was that she was amazed that some kids actually got to get off the bus at their houses, ha :) She did wake up Friday morning with a stomach bug. She got sick several times Friday morning so she went to work with me. <br />
<br />
Jolie: Was so excited to start back to her classes. She learned her phone number before her first day so she was able to tell Ms. Jessie that she knew it. She was even helping Ms. Jessie with the other kids at her table. They were practicing their writing and she was telling one boy that he was doing a good job, but that wasn't quite it. She told him to keep trying and Ms. Jessie would show them the right way. Ms. Jessie said she was soo cute. <br />
<br />
Joel: Is getting adjusted to being somewhere new. He was with Ms. Debbie since he was 6 weeks old, so it has been a little difficult for him when I drop him off. By the time I take Jolie to her classroom and walk back out he has stopped crying. They have bragged and bragged on him on how smart he is and how he is such a bigger helper. He has started telling them when he has dirtied his diaper so they are hoping that potty training will be easy. <br />
<br />
With Josie being sick we spent a quiet night in last night (Friday night). We had rice for dinner and watched TV. This morning we continued our lazy streak and didn't get out of our pjs until 1:00 p.m. After Joel woke up from his nap and we had lunch we headed to use Jolie's wonderful birthday present from last year, our Zoo membership. We were so happy it was finally cool enough to use it again. <br />

After the Zoo we headed to the Mall. We ate dinner and then we took the kids to the carasoul and Build-A-Bear. Josie made a smurf and named him "Joseph," Jolie made a horse and named him "Bear," and Joel made a dog and named him "Puppy."</div>

After that we headed home. We gave the kids baths and what pjs did they put on -- why their Hyundai shirts in support of Daddy and Aunt Sheila. (Thursday night Other Mama, MeMaw, Paw-Paw, Uncle Quint and I took a tour of the Hyundai plant. It was really neat to know more about where Joe and Sheila work. They had a gift shop and I got the kids shirts for $4.00 a piece. You can't beat that.):</div>

Can you believe it, I know I can't. <br />
<br />
Last Thursday we had open house for all three. First Joe, Josie, and I went to Josie's school and we met Josie's first grade teacher, Ms. Graham. She gave a good first impression, but let us know first grade is nothing like what we went to. After the second week of school Josie will have spelling, math, and language tests every week. She will also have reading tests in the library. This she does at her own pace. She will read books and do a test on the computer for comprehension. She will actually receive a letter grade in language, math, and spelling this year. Social studies and science they do together as a class and she will recieve an S (satisfactory), U (unsatisfactory) or N (for needs improvement). She will also be doing choir at school this year and will have a few field trips where they sing at nursing homes and a few concerts for the parents. They will practice during school hours. After meeting with Ms. Graham we stopped over at the kindergarten hall and visited Ms. Jackson, Josie's teacher from last year.<br />
<br />
Joe and Josie then went home while I went to MCDP to meet with Jolie and Joel's teachers. Ms. Jessie's is Jolie's teacher again this year. She said Lol is a visual learner and is the fastest thinking child on her feet that she has ever met. She also said she is a great helper and even helps with some of the students that tend to give Ms. Jessie's problems. She said Lol makes her laugh every day and she doesn't know what she is going to do with not having a Burdick in her classroom next year :)<br />
<br />
Next I met with Joel's teacher. They will be teaching among other things: body parts, colors, shapes, numbers, letters, potty training, sharing, and helping get rid of his paci. Ms. Linda was very excited about the curriculum which made me excited too. Joel already knows some of his colors: blue, yellow, green, pink, and sometimes he may say/know red, white, purple, and orange. He knows his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and toes. He tries to sing his ABCs. He will repeat just about anything you say to him. Warning TMI: He has also poo-pooed in the potty twice for Joe and me. I still can't believe he is not even 2 yet and can do all this.<br />
<br />
Yesterday after church we took it easy getting ready for today. We painted nails, we picked out our clothes for today, and we talked about rules and expectations. <br />
<br />
This morning the girls were up bright and early ready for the day. They got dressed and ate with absolutely no fights. I was feeding Joel and I heard them in the living room, Josie was bragging to Jolie that she would have "math testeses." I just had to laugh, then I corrected her. She is so my child though, excited about tests.<br />
<br />
I took some pictures before we left the house:<br />

Last but not least it was time to take Josie to CES (Coosada Elementary School). We had to search for parking because of everyone dropping off their babies and then I had forgotten to write some things down in her folder and so by the time we got out I compltely forgot to pray over her, but I did pray the whole way to work, not only for her but for all 3. As we walked in Josie saw a friend from MCDP. They walked in hand-in-hand.</div>

I did great. I never cried. I did cry yesterday though. We visited Millbook Methodist Church and during the service they had all the children going into school to go up front and the youth leaders, pastor, and anyone who was a teacher laid hands on them and prayed. Those of us sitting in the congregation were supposed to reach out our hands and as we prayed. I cried and cried. Then the teachers knelt and the kids stood up around them and laid hands on them and we prayed again. It was very moving. I can't explain how much it means to me to know that my children are so surrounded in prayers. </div>

To catch everyone up on our lives, I know, I know you can hardly to wait to know what all has been going on, right??<br />
<br />
Well Joe worked anywhere from 10 to 12 hour days from July 16th through August 3. He even worked the Saturdays. Bless his heart, but now he is on the 6:00 a.m. to 2 something shift, so this month should be a good month for us.<br />
<br />
I have been recouping from a fall I had in a hole in our yard one night. Ben (my brother) and I were messing around with Joe's car that had broken down and it was dark and I was running and ran into a hole. He took me to Pri-Med while the Burdicks came over to sit with the kids (who were all asleep). I didn't break it, thank goodness, but I sprained it pretty bad. I was on crutches for the first five days and an air cast for two weeks. It is doing much better. It is still swollen and tender, but it doesn't hurt to walk. I only hurts if I turn it wrong. Everyone was so helpful and sweet to me and I even had some people come over to help with the kids. I am so blessed to have the family and friends that I have. The kids were awesome. They have been very careful with my foot and the girls have been extra helpful.<br />
<br />
I have taken the girls school clothes shopping and Josie and I went school supply shopping Saturday night. All I lack are 3 items on the supply list. Sweet girl, she has been counting down the days until she starts 1st grade in Ms. Graham's class. She starts on August 20th. We have open house on August 16th where we get to go see her classroom and meet Ms. Graham.<br />
<br />
Joel will start MCDP with Jolie on August 20th. Jolie is so excited that he will be at the same school as her.<br />
<br />
We had a July birthday party at MeMaw and Paw-Paw's house one Saturday to celebrate Aunt Sheila's, Uncle Quint's, Paw-Paw's, Gigi's, and my birthday. It was a good day.<br />
<br />
I did turn 30 on July 31st. It was a good day. Joe brought me breakfast in bed, Other Mama took me out to lunch, and that night Sheila and Caden took me and the kids out since Joe was at work. I guess you could say I was a little spoiled on my birthday. Again, I am so blessed to have the family that I have. <br />
<br />
The most exciting thing was this weekend. First, we had Joe home!! He got up just in time from getting in from work at 4:00 a.m. to go to Tanner's (my nephew's 3rd) birthday.<br />

Last year I started a tradition of using my birthday money for us to do a last hoorah before school starts back. Last year Joe was working the weekend in Greenville so we stayed at a hotel in Greenville, and swam in the pool, rode around on the golf course, and just had a good weekend. This year, I used my birthday money to take us to the Splash Adventure in Bessemer, AL. So Sunday morning we got up and had a home cooked breakfast by Chef Joe and then we meet up with Quint, Sheila and Ansleigh and headed to the water park. The kids had an amazing time. To begin with Joe and Quint stayed in the little kid's area with Ansleigh and Joel while Sheila and I took Josie, Caden, and Jolie to the bigger kids area. They even had slides in the bigger kids area and this huge water bucket that fills up with water and then dumps down on every one. They made it really cool but having ropes the kids could climb up to get to the slides and levers you could turn to make water come out. Then Sheila and I took turns taking Josie & Caden on one of the adult slides. Josie loved it!!!! We sat in a two seater intertube and down we went. I just kept yelling for her to make sure she held on, lol. Next we all hit the lazy river and then lunch. Then we swapped and Sheila and I took Joel and Ansleigh to the little pool while Joe and Quint took the bigger kids to the wave pool, the bigger kid area, and down the big slide. After that we all went back to the bigger kid area so that Ansleigh and Joel could slide. They both loved it!! I really could not tell you who had more fun. Sheila and I took Caden and Josie down the big slide one more time, and we ended our trip with another lap or two or three on the lazy river. It was an awesome day and a wonderful way to spend my birthday money. We didn't take any pictures because we were all too busy having fun, but here are some from the website showing the attractions:</div>

This is the bigger kid's area. The white slides are the ones all the kids could go down. The orange thing on top of the play ground/slide is the big bucket that would fill up with water and splash down on everyone. I could not find any pictures of the little kids area.</div>

These are pictures of the big slide we took Caden and Josie down. It is not the steep blue one, but the black one on the left. It is a tunnel slide for most of the ride.<br />

I'll close with a picture of the girls. They had climbed in bed with me to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics and they both fell asleep. They were so cute before that, well I say cute, but I actually mean annoying b/c they kept asking what country each group was. I kept saying if you would be quiet you could hear them say what country. It was quite late, and they finally gave in to sleep:</div>

The Sunday before the 4th of July our church did a special anthem recognizing the different military branches. People were asked to stand when the branch they served was being sung about. Seeing the different men and women from our church standing in honor of their branch just about had me in tears. I am forever grateful to all the men and women who are currently serving and those who have served in the past. I also greatly appreciate the spouses, mothers, fathers, siblings, and other family members of those serving. To feel such pride and fear at the same time, it just makes me really appreciate everyone who goes through that. I tell my kids with great pride that their Pap-Paw and gradfathers served our country.<br />
<br />
On the Tuesday before the 4th we found out that Joe got the job at Hyundai. He started this past Monday (July 9th). These first few days have been orientation so we don't have much to report yet. He is supposed to find out what department he will work in today and start working on one of the shifts this coming Monday (6:00 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. or 2:30 p.m. to 10:45 p.m.). Starting on August 6th they will start a 3rd shift. Monday through today he has not had to be there until 7:45 a.m. and I can not even begin to tell you how nice it has been to have help in the morning, and to have him home each night by 5:30 p.m. Tomorrow and Friday he works from 7:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. <br />
<br />
Joe somehow managed to get off for the 4th and so we did what we always do- a family gathering at the Lake. It was a great day to spend with Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins and we had a blast.<br />

Friday the 6th we planned one last hoorah at RTJ. More times that we can count we have made the drive to Greenville so the kids could "play" at Joe's work and ride the golf course. I wanted them to have closure and not just say he doens't work there, end of story. So we invited Quint, Sheila, Caden & Ansleigh to go down Friday afternoon so that we could get our closure from RTJ. On the way down we stopped at the Hyundai plant so I could show the girls and Joel a little bit of where Joe would be working. When we finally made it to Greenville we ate dinner at Old Mexico and then headed to the golf course.</div>

<br />
We had a blast and stayed until about 9:00 p.m. that night. On our way home we ran into a bad wreck. It turns out that Joe knew and worked with one of the guys in the wreck. The doctors still don't know if he will fully recover. He is 30 with three young kids just like us. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. <br />
<br />
Saturday morning we hung around the house and then headed over to Chris and Crystals. It was another fun day. We ate some yummy food and played outside. At first we hooked up the sprinkler and the kids and I ran through it. (Yes I played too. It is hot!!!) Then Joe and Chris set up the slip & slide. Again, I played too. After Chris seeing how much fun I was having he joined in too. I was very very sore the next day. I guess that means I'm getting old :(<br />
<br />
Sunday we had lunch with MeMaw and Paw-Paw and then Joe went to help his brother while the kids and I went home to clean. It was a really good weekend.<br />
<br />
This weekend Joe works at RTJ for the last time. I know it will be bittersweet for him. <br />
<br />
In other news I have started planning Jolie and Joel's birthday party. They will share a party this year, but I think it will be so much fun that they won't mind that they are sharing. Jolie keeps begging to go to the beach so mabye one weekend before school starts back we can take them to play in the sand and swim in the ocean. <br />
<br />
The girls continue to have a fabulous time at MCDP. Yesterday they took Taekwondo lessons at school and LOVED it. The teachers said they did really good too. Here are some pictures Ms. Jessie has taken of Jolie this summer:<br />

We have had some things going on though. <br />
<br />
Joe has been taking steps to move through the hiring process at Hyundai. He has done a computer assessment, hands on assesment and a two part physical. The physical, drug screen, and background are the last steps in this process. We have talked about the pros and cons and even though he would be on swing shift he would actually see the children more than what he sees them now, which is super important to us. We both know it is in God's hands and are at peace with that. If this is the job for Joe, then God will provide as he always has and everything will work out. If this is not the job for Joe we continue on our search for the job that is right for Joe. In the meantime he has put in his application at Bright House for a warehouse job, but has not heard from them yet. <br />
<br />
We had our Family Vacation Bible School the week of June 11-15. I love that we do our Bible School at night and make it a family affair. Even the adults have class, sing, and do crafts. It is a great bonding experience for everyone in the church. The adults get to play with the kids and the kids get to learn from and about different adults in the congregation. It was a cowboy theme and the kids had a blast. They looked forward to it every night. Each night we would have dinner, then go up for Bible time, then the classes would split. The adults would go do their craft, the younger group of children would either go to recreation or crafts while the older group of children did what the younger group was not doing. Joe and I kept the nursery each night. <br />

After a week of VBS we didn't do much that weekend. Saturday morning we went to Bass Pro Shops where they were having a special Fathers Day weekend. They kids got to fish, make crafts, shoot dart guns, and watch some videos about outdoor safety. After that we headed home because Joe had to head to Hyundai for some test and the kids and I hung out the rest of the day at home. That Sunday was Father's Day. We spent the day enjoying Joe and what he means to our family. The kids made him handmade cards, and his present were two beta fish. Each girl picked out all the stuff to go inside in the bowl. They were so excited about it. They all love to go and look at the new fish. Joe loved them too. Sunday night we had a yummy homemade dinner of steak, twice baked potatoe casserole, and baked beans with Pap-Paw and Other Mama, Ben and Tanner came a little later. </div>

Josie has been on two field trips with MCDP (the preschool), and Jolie has gotten to go on one. They both went to the Prattville Y for a day of swimming and had a blast. The pool is shallow but they still wear their floaties. Jolie was brave enough to go down the slide and land in Ms. Jessie's arms. Ms. Jessie bragged and bragged about how well Jolie did on her first ever summer field trip. She got to ride the bus for the first time and they had Mexican for lunch. Last week Josie got to to the Rosa Parks Musem and splash pad afterwards. I was really impressed with how much she retained from the museum. When she got home she was able to tell us the entire story. I love how it reiterated the Sunday School lesson I had taught her and the other ones that age the week before. We are all God's children. He loves us all and created us all. He took the time to "design" us all from our skin color, eye color, hair color, height, birth marks, freckles, our family, what country we would be born into, everything. No one is any more special because we all have the same Creator, who loves us all whether we love him back or not. How awesome is that? All that to say I was really impressed with Josie for what she retained and for what she came away with from the museum. </div>

This past weekend Joe worked while the kids and I hung out at home. They play so hard throughout the week at MCDP, the past couple of weekends they have just wanted to rest. Sunday evening we did get outside to play. At first I was spraying them with the hose and then we filled up the kiddie pool, but then they got into the mud. They would sit down and cover themselves in mud. They were having a blast. Joel watched and stomped in the mud, but didn't partake in getting completely nasty. </div>

So that is what has been going on in the Burdick household. Mainly just work/preschool, play, eat, sleep, and do it all over again. <br />
<br />
I do want to recongnize my mom/Grammy today. Today is her 50th birthday. We are 20 years apart so she turns 50 today and I turn 30 at the end of July. We called and wished her a happy birthday this morning, but then the girls got upset when they realized they wouldn't be getting any cake for her birthday :) Happy Birthday Grammy, we love and miss you!!<br />

Joe and I have not been on a kid free weekend or vacation in probably 3 years nor on an anniversary trip in probably 7 years. I thought a ten year anniversary was special enough to deserve a kid free trip. I'll admit it was hard for me because this was the first time I had left all three kids, but it was so worth it. Every day life begins to wear you down and sometimes marriage is more of a business than two people in love. Did you do this, did you pick up this, can you clean this, etc. Sometimes it is hard for love to flourish in an environment like that. I treasured every second of this weekend. I enjoyed it just being Joe and me, and having all of his attention on me and all of my attention on him. <br />
<br />
Joe took the day off Friday so that he could deliver kids to grandparents so that we could hit the road as soon as I got home. I got off at 12:00 p.m. and we left the house within five minutes of me getting home. Next we picked up Quint from his house, and then Sheila from Hyundai. We were offically on the road. Yay!!! We arrived at Orange Beach a little after 4:00 p.m. We unpacked and got settled and then decided we needed to eat before everywhere got busy. So we loaded up and started to search for dinner. We ended up eating at a place called Tacky Jacks on the water. After dinner we walked around some and took these pics:<br />

After Tacky Jacks we did some shopping and headed back to the condo. The next morning we all slept in. By the time we all had gotten up, showered, and finally decided what we wanted to do, it was lunch time so we headed out for lunch.</div>

After Adventure Island we headed back to the hotel to swim in the indoor pool. The water felt great especially after playing out in the hot sun. After the pool we headed up stairs to get ready for our evening dolphin boat ride. The boat left the dock at around 6:25 p.m. and we didn't get back until about 8:30 p.m. It was a beautiful ride and we actually did see some dolphins. </div>

After the boat ride we headed out to figure out what we were going to do for dinner. We ended up driving to the Wharf. We didn't eat dinner there, but we did take a ride on the huge ferris wheel. It actually wasn't scary at all and was kind of relaxing. We then headed back out trying to figure out where to eat. We ended up eating at a place called Lesters. They had a live "band" (I put that in quotations because it was a two man group). I actually got the courage to walk up and ask that they dedicate a song to Joe for our anniversary, and the biggest surprise Joe actually slow danced with me during one of the songs. It was really sweet. I think by that point it was like 10:30 and we headed back to the condo and then down to the beach. When Joe and I first planned this trip we decided that we wanted to renew our vows. So we each wrote our own vows to read to the other. So at 11:00 p.m. Saturday night on the beach in the moon light we renewed our vows to each other. It was funny because we had to use our cell phone to be able to read what we had written but it was something I will always remember. After renewing our vows we caught back up with Quint and Sheila on the beach and we layed there looking up at the stars and the moon talking about how small we felt compared to the huge ocean in front of us and the vast sky above us. It was an awesome night. </div>

The next morning Joe and I got up early and went and played in the ocean and then swam in the indoor pool. (Quint and Sheila slept in and I let them. Joe wanted me to wake them up, ha ha.) When we got back from the pool we showered and started cleaning up and packing. We left the condo about 10:30 a.m. and did a little more shopping. We then headed to Calypso Joes for lunch before heading back home. </div>

It was a great trip. It was so nice not to worry about anything and just live in the moment. I'm so glad that Joe and I were able to reconnect. We are both so grateful to Other Mama and Pap-Paw for giving up their weekend to keep the girls and MeMaw and Paw-Paw for giving up their weekend to keep Joel. It meant so much for us to take this trip. </div>

First a conversation Jolie and I had this morning:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
.Jolie: Who put our heads on?<br />
<br />
Me: God.<br />
<br />
Jolie: How did he do it?<br />
<br />
Me: I'm not sure, you'll have to ask him one day.<br />
<br />
Jolie: (looking to her side) God, how did you put our heads on?<br />
<br />
Jolie: (talking to me) I can talk to him because he is everywhere and because I know he is right here beside me.<br />
<br />
Me: That's right. He is always with you and he loves you.<br />
<br />
Jolie: I love God too.<br />
<br />
<br />
All I can say, is on days like this I feel like I must be doing something right as a mom.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today is Josie's last day of school. Here are some pictures I took.<br />

<br />
This past weekend was a good weekend. Friday after we picked up the kids from school we went and ate at McAllisters. After dinner we went to Bass Pro Shops and walked around. Actually after looking at everything we kind of started a game of hide and seek. (Sidenote: I won). After Bass Pro Shops we went to downtown Prattville to walk around. It really is beautiful, and the kids loved walking in new scenery. It was late when we got home and we all crashed that night. <br />
<br />
The next morning Joe left to go help my dad with a project while the kids and I met Quint and Ansleigh at the Zoo. We had a good morning, but with the temp. reaching 96 degrees, I imagine that will be the last visit for a couple months. Thank goodness they have all the misters to walk through to help cool you down.<br />

Isn't he beautiful. If there is a such thing as reincarnation, I want to come back as a peacock. I think they are so beautiful. You can tell these at the Zoo are quite used to people, because I probably could have reached out and touched him and his buddies.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the Zoo we went home for some down time and naps. After naps and lunch we headed over to Other Mama and Pap-Paws. The kids played while Pap-Paw and Joe worked. At about 7:00 p.m. they wrapped it up for the day. Poor guys worked out in that heat all day long. After Joe showered us and Other Mama went out to eat. Joel had already fallen asleep so Pap-Paw stayed behind with him. When we got home Joe had a few more things to finish up before we could leave, or so we thought. Josie was so tired and starting to get ill and Joel was already alseep, so we decided to spend the night. Joel slept in the play pen in Other Mama and Pap-Paw's room, the girls slept in the bed in their room (they love that they have their own room at Other Mama and Pap-Paws), and Joe and I slept on the fold-out couch in the living room. The next morning Pap-Paw fixed us a very yummy breakfast of bacon, eggs, and waffles before we headed out for Sunday School. After Sunday School we headed home so Joel could take a nap before Annaleigh's birthday party at Artistic Expressions. The party went great. Josie painted a penguin, Jolie painted a unicorn, and Joel painted an elephant. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the party we headed back to Other Mama and Pap-Paw's house to get Joe's car and for Joe to finish up a few more things. That night I laid down to go to bed at about 10:10 p.m. Five minutes later Jolie got up, she had a stomach bug. I ended up making the love seat into a bed for her and the couch into a bed for me so that way I could be with her all night. I think she finally settled back down around midnight. The next morning she was still a little puny, and Joel has been fighitng a nasty cold so none of us got of our PJs the entire day except for Joe who had to go to work. Joel took a four hour nap which I think did him a lot of good. </div>

Josie has school 3 days this week and then she is out for the summer. She has become more excited about not being at school because starting on June 18th Caden will be at MCDP with the girls during summer break. </div>

Friday we leave with Quint and Sheila for the beach for our 10 year anniversary trip. I can't wait. I'm so excited. Joe has taken the whole day off so he will deliver children that morning: Joel to MeMaw and Paw-Paw and the girls to Other Mama and Pap-Paw. I think Pap-Paw is just as excited about this weekend as the girls are. He and Josie made a list of all the things they need to bring: fishing poles, sleeping bags, bug spray, swim suits, floaties- just to name a few. We will be back Sunday afternoon. </div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11191219906191837706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927910400865344395.post-40378778732398147402012-05-25T10:10:00.000-05:002012-05-25T10:11:39.818-05:00Josie's Awards Day<br />
(Just a heads up for those of you that don't know: There are a lot of pictures in this blog. If one is too small you can click on it and it will make it bigger.)<br />
<br />
<br />
Yesterday was Josie's award ceremony at school. I think I was just as sad the day she entered kindergarten as I was yesterday. This year as flown by and the amount of things she learned in one year, I still can't believe. She can write, she can read, she can do math, she is understanding some science, she knows money, she is working on telling time, and the list goes on and on. She only had one sad face and a handful or two of straight faces the entire year. She has done amazing on all her testing sometimes receiving perfect scores. Joe and I are both so proud of the how great she has done.<br />
<br />
Coosada Elementary has 19 kindergarten classes. They are divided into groups of four and each group is called a "pod" and is known by a color. Josie's class is in the Yellow Pod. I took her to school yesterday morning and stayed for the Yellow Pod's awards ceremony. All the kids from the Yellow Pod sang three songs-Baby Beluga (about a whale), Have you Ever Gone Fishing, and another song I can't remember the name of.<br />
<br />
The pictures aren't the best. We were in the gym which was dark and I was too far away to get good pictures, but if you look real close you can see Josie doing the moves to the songs. She is on the right hand side third person on the first row of the standing kids. She is in a blue, white, and purple dress with white leggings. <br />

Then each kid from each class received an award. Josie received the "Best Manner's Award." <br />
<br />
This is Josie starting to walk up to the principal to receive her award.<br />

After each student received their award we went back to the classrooms to enjoy brunch with the kids. Mrs. Jackson (Josie's teacher) had made each child a sand bucket with their name on it with all kinds of goodies inside. There was a t-shrit with a sea horse that they colored and each student signed the back, a booklet she had made (see below), sunglasses, kool-aid with a straw, and some other goodies. The kids had also made a video earlier in the week that she showed to us. She first asked each child what their favorite part of kindergarten was (I couldn't understand Josie's answer and she didn't remember what she said), then she went back and asked each kid what they hoped to learn in first grade (Josie's answer was to be a better writer), and at the end each child said aloha (I know this may sound stupid but that really choked me up because she was saying goodbye to her kindergarten year.) It was all really sweet and I am soooo glad I got to be there. </div>

She also brought home a journal that they had started writing in back in November. Each time they wrote the kids would have to sound words out as best they could or she may give them the beginning and she had to fill in the rest. Here are two of her journal entries. The colors are originally in color but I did not want to tear them out and I don't have a color copier. This is the five of us eating shaved ice:</div>

<br />
Friday, May 11th was our 10 year anniversary. Joe and I have known each other and been in a "relationship" since we were 13 or 14, so we have been together 16 years total, but ten years in a marriage is pretty good these days. I have the best sister-in-law who told me I was going to bring the kids to her Friday night so that Joe and I could go out. We weren't going to go out since we have our beach trip in June, but she told me I didn't have a choice in it. Who can argue with that!! So Joe and I went out to dinner and then we went to downtown Prattville and walked around. It was beautiful. The fountain, and the creek, the lights in the old downtown. We had a beautiful walk. <br />

The kids also had a blast playing with Caden and Ansleigh. And Aunt Sheila even took the bigger kids out for some yummy dessert. <br />

<br />
While Joe was at work Saturday morning the kids and I took Nanny and Other Mama out to breakfast for Mother's Day, and when Joe got we went up to his Grandmother's to visit with her. It was a good day of celebrating special women in our life. Sunday the kids and I went to church and after Joe got home the kids gave them their presents. They were all so thoughtful. That night Josie finished up her Awana book at Awana. <br />
<br />
This past Friday was Jolie's end of the year program at school. Joe took off work to be there. She had been practicing so hard her songs for the program, "Skidamarink," "In the Lord's Army," and a song they call "Tootie-T-Ta." Joe recorded it so that I could see the program. She did a great job singing. After the program Joe and Jolie came and met me for lunch. It was nice for us both to have that one-on-one time with Jolie. After that Jolie and Joe went to my dad's to put new brakes on the van. When I got off work I went and picked up Josie and she and I had some one-on-one time grocery shopping. That evening the girls and I went to Caden's year end program at school. He also did a great job and was the cutest lion in Noah's Ark there ever was. He did so good singing and reciting his Bible verses. We stuck around to tell him how proud of him we were and I think it meant a lot to him that the girls were there. I love how close they are growing up. Joe and Joel didn't go b/c the program started at 7:00 p.m. which is about 30 minutes past Joel's bedtime. <br />
<br />
The next morning we got up and walked a couple blocks to the tractor pull. The kids had a great time looking at the animals, looking at the tractors, playing in the kid area which consisted of face painting, go fish, digging in the sand, darts, putt-putt, and two bouncy houses (ALL FREE!!).<br />

After walking around and getting sufficiently hot we supported the Elmore Methodist Church by buying some hamburgers and hotdogs and sitting down to cool off and eat. After eating we walked home to put Joel to bed before we had to leave for the crawfish boil with our friends from church. We had a blast. There was tons of food, tons of people, and the energy was so much fun. Jolie ate 3 platefulls of crawfish. I think she impressed some grown men that were there. <br />
<br />
Sunday was a busy day. We went to Sunday School and about 30 minutes of church and then snuck out to meet Rebecca, Angie, Quint, Sheila, Cande, Ansleigh, MeMaw and Paw-Paw at Mellow Mushroom in Montgomery for MeMaw's Mother's Day lunch. The food was great, but the fellowship was better. <br />

After lunch we headed home for about an hour of quiet time. We had to be back at our church by 4:00 p.m. for Josie's performance with the children's choir. <br />

As soon as that was over we drove straight to New Home for the girls' Awana Ceremony. They both received awards for finishing a book. Other Mama, MeMaw, and Paw-Paw came to support them too. <br />

This week we have been crazy cleaning. A woman from church is coming to our house Thursday to keep Joel because his daycare is closed. That is also the day of Josie's award day at school. I am taking off that morning to be there. <br />
<br />
Joe is busy at work because this weekend is Greenville's big tournament. He tells me he doesn't have to work this weekend, but we shall see. <br />
<br />
We don't have any plans for the weekend except Annaleigh's birthday party Sunday afternoon. <br />
<br />
Next Thursday is Josie's last day of school. I can't believe it. This year has flown by and she has learned so much in one year. That weekend is the weekend of our beach trip. I can't wait. I think I'm most excited about the sleep :) <br />

The answer- I haven't written one since the end of February. So I'm only a little over two months behind. The site I use to do my blogs was making changes, and it just was not worth it trying to fight it so I just didn't write any new posts. <br />
<br />
In all honestly I can't remember everything that has gone on in these past two months. So this is what I can remember...<br />
<br />
Josie had a Dr. Seuss week at school in March and Jolie had a Dr. Seuss day:<br />

The girls' Spring Break they spent with me at work, one day with Joe so he could take them to the dentist, one day with Aunt Mona, and one afternoon with their friends from church Stanton and Jo. It was a good week for them.<br />

I know I missed Easter:<br />

I know I got photo evidence of one of my children watching TV. The girls will not sit still long enough to watch TV unless you tell them they can watch a movie instead of going to bed. This night Joel was entranced by the movie "Cars."<br />

I know Jolie took up offering for the first time at church. She did really good for only being given a ten to fifteen minute warning that she was doing it. She has done it a couple of times since then and continues to get better. I was so proud of her.<br />

I know I gave Joel a hair cut the other night and we finally turned his car seat around. Your are supposed to leave it rear facing until they are one or twenty pounds, which means we could have turned it around way before he turned one, but I read that it is safest to leave it rear facing as long as you can. Plus at that time the girls were in the seat behind him and he could see them. (We have since moved Jolie to the seat beside Joel b/c of Josie and Jolie fighting/fussing.) Well the poor guy was getting cramped with his feet pushing up against the seat so we decided to turn his car seat around. He loves it. <br />

Those are the highlights. Right off I can't think of all the day to day things that happened. I will update you on everyone though.<br />
<br />
Josie: At 3:00 p.m. today Josie will only have 16 more days as a kindergartener, then she will be a first grader. She had done awesome. We could not be more proud. She is reading, doing math, writing, and soaking up everything her teacher tells her. She has another wiggly tooth, the one beside the one she lost. She had a bad fight with some monkey bars this weekend and busted her mouth and lip, but didn't knock any other teeth loose, thank goodness. Josie has her awards ceremony at school on Thursday, May 24th. I can't believe the school year is almost over. <br />
<br />
Jolie: Jolie has one more year at MCDP because her birthday falls about 20 days after the cutoff date. She is loving being in Ms. Jessie's class and is learning everything she needs to get ready for kindergarten. I've seen a huge improvement in her writing here lately. The girls got bunk beds sometime in the past month or so and she claimed the top bunk. She has done great with it and their room has so much more room for them to play. Jolie has her end of the year program on Friday, May 18th. She has been practicing really hard.<br />
<br />
Joel: Is 19.5 months old and his learning new words every day. He can say "sit down," "stop," "choo-choo" (he says it every time he hears the train close to our house), and a lot more. I've heard him say "Josie" or some form of it a couple of times, but he has not said Jolie's name yet. He is all boy and loves playing outside. In fact, no matter how red his face is from being outside, if you try to take him in, he'll scream and cry. He is still a little snuggle buddy and such a sweetheart. <br />
<br />
Joe: Joe applied for an Alabama Power job a month or so ago and passed two of the tests to be weeded out for interviews. Shortly after passing the second test we found out that for some reason they were going to have to start thet whole process over and they would be reposting the job. Well to date they haven't. He is going to put in an application with Hyundai, and anywhere else someone lets us know of. He worked a crazy month or so and was hardly around, but May has been a little better. <br />
<br />
Jess: I'm doing good. Trying to keep my head above water. I'm a little nervous about this summer. I'm having to pay someone to keep Joel some days while Ms. Debbie is out, we will being paying extra for Josie to attend MCDP all day, plus registration fees, plus from what I've been told school supplies will be around $100.00 (The PTA offers boxes of school supplies already made according to each grade's list, but that does not take into consider the teacher's own list.) So if we can manage the summer with all these extra costs we will be doing good. I worry about everything though I guess that is my job. I know God will provide though and worrying will do nothing to fix it. One of us may have to get a second job though, ha.<br />
<br />
Friday Joe and I celebrate our ten year anniversary. They have definitely flown by. We we go to the beach the first weekend of June to celebrate. My former boss has a condo that he lets me use once a year, so I thought what better than for an anniversary trip. The girls will stay with Other Mama and Pap-Paw and Joel will stay with Memaw and Paw-Paw. <br />
<br />
Sunday is Mother's Day. Joe works this weekend so I'm a little sad he won't be around much for our anniversary or Mother's Day but it is what it is. I'll at least be with my beautiful blessings and the reasons I'm called "Mom" on Sunday. I never really knew or understood unconditional love until I had Josie. And with each child my heart has grown. God must have been crazy to entrust these precious beings to me, but for some reason he did, and I love him all the more for it. They are amazing and I pray every day that we will always be a close family, I pray for their future spouses, I pray that they will love and serve God, and I even pray for my future grandchildren. My cup runneth over. <br />
<br />
I am also so thankful to have my moms, mother-in-law, my grandmothers (and Joe's), and all my aunts in my life. I remember Maw this Mothers Day, but know that she is looking down enjoying watching her family grow in leaps and bounds. These women have all taught me so much and I pull a little bit of who I am from each one. I thank you for what you mean to my children, and am blessed beyond measure for the love and support I/we receive from you. <br />
<br />
The end of July I turn 30. I have been joking with Joe that he has had a woman in her twentys these last six months. (He turned 30 in January.) But I think I'm ready to say goodbye to my 20s. I've always felt older than my age so I think I'll fit in real well with the 30s. <br />
<br />
Well I think you are caught up for now. I'm sure some of you are regretting asking where my blog has been.Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11191219906191837706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927910400865344395.post-22527729391644624942012-02-27T08:52:00.010-06:002012-02-27T09:23:50.392-06:00Our Weekend and Our First Visit from the Tooth FairyWe have had some good family time the past two weekends. They are growing so fast, I hate to miss a second of it. And poor Joe misses out on so much with working as much as he does, I know it is even more important to him. <br /><br />Last weekend Joe worked so Other Mama and I took the kids to the Zoo. I called her at 7:00 a.m. that Saturday morning hoping I was not waking her up and she said she would love to go, so off we went. It was a really good day and the kids loved looking at all the animals and playing on the playground. <br /><br />This weekend we headed up to Birmingham for a day of fun and play. First we went to the McWayne Center and had an absolute blast. Even Joel enjoyed the exhibits and play time. <br />I forgot my camera so these were taken with Sheila's phone, but the kids kept moving so much it was hard to get a clear picture of them:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU9aOVzpB9Jc6t4x9s59Pa6fIwEsQkdB4HPlfrddgOsVcxuD9DgWZCEdjo8zzAaDLot_a1HED7s8mrsNzJh5JEV63cFiuVf373GwuUVqIjuo02Pie69buN-uTMULB8kYMsdNE5smjxFtEX/s1600/mcwayne4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 191px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU9aOVzpB9Jc6t4x9s59Pa6fIwEsQkdB4HPlfrddgOsVcxuD9DgWZCEdjo8zzAaDLot_a1HED7s8mrsNzJh5JEV63cFiuVf373GwuUVqIjuo02Pie69buN-uTMULB8kYMsdNE5smjxFtEX/s320/mcwayne4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713835111516292402" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBn4A3g8xZ1T9uHjdNW_uUZVYV24S1fVPLHxgsLNl22bDfqwvouNOy5uOEbNWKrApe0L-q3B5IzIEXKXY7_TPUJPAo_-64NPoxzkFKIi4c3JHD9spw7NCUQ5CEvkbOZQKpVDDwvx5Lph34/s1600/mcwayne3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBn4A3g8xZ1T9uHjdNW_uUZVYV24S1fVPLHxgsLNl22bDfqwvouNOy5uOEbNWKrApe0L-q3B5IzIEXKXY7_TPUJPAo_-64NPoxzkFKIi4c3JHD9spw7NCUQ5CEvkbOZQKpVDDwvx5Lph34/s320/mcwayne3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713835049577277698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXlJGV4hYDoBzITCKnOdEyfEbRsUnNKDCHRtSaomfNs08qsCGZHCwpV3pqie-G2pZa03FJuIC-FCgUQZQIuZWSWAg9wuJ1V9-PROiCf-Itrpwi9chyphenhyphenFdQhy8hBYJCvb8HCZ4konuw5gU6/s1600/mcwayne2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 191px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXlJGV4hYDoBzITCKnOdEyfEbRsUnNKDCHRtSaomfNs08qsCGZHCwpV3pqie-G2pZa03FJuIC-FCgUQZQIuZWSWAg9wuJ1V9-PROiCf-Itrpwi9chyphenhyphenFdQhy8hBYJCvb8HCZ4konuw5gU6/s320/mcwayne2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713834996230177826" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKWuriQ0oKbQG1Mq3W06Sfu48EJlGtg9aPJGnhgP91M4Ueys_nxdJrb5Ev_f4sCZTF60Iyk0BkX5PsfhHZ7aZSB9RJ9McJCh8hPVMdUnoTIFdLczQtn-oLYZGRF2U0sQZB6AmNtYC0RQFo/s1600/McWayne1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKWuriQ0oKbQG1Mq3W06Sfu48EJlGtg9aPJGnhgP91M4Ueys_nxdJrb5Ev_f4sCZTF60Iyk0BkX5PsfhHZ7aZSB9RJ9McJCh8hPVMdUnoTIFdLczQtn-oLYZGRF2U0sQZB6AmNtYC0RQFo/s320/McWayne1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713834939854044722" /></a><br /><br />Around 4:30 we met my cousin Robert, his wife Bethany, and their daughter Annalise for dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. Again we had a blast. The enviorment is so fun. There were disco balls and music and dancing. Joel and Annalise were so cute, they would get so excited every time the disco balls came on. After dinner we headed up to the Vulcan (a statue that sits on a hill looking over Birmingham.) We rode in a glass elevator to the top of the tower that the staute sits on and walked around the base of the statue. It was beautiful to look over Birmingham, but scary to be that high up at the same time. <br />This is a picture from the parking lot walking up to the tower:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSqC0jXjgu7HDbE126_DaKJUg8Cr8hbOL-q2x4VchX01oScruAdx-sTnsBO9VHm_oeNdEdjOkCxKq0FRD1kPlhbWSsWsH4dIJPhkm7k7NVX4zVCM6gSOuenbd600dO6uBNfgf1DaEA84q8/s1600/vulcan.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSqC0jXjgu7HDbE126_DaKJUg8Cr8hbOL-q2x4VchX01oScruAdx-sTnsBO9VHm_oeNdEdjOkCxKq0FRD1kPlhbWSsWsH4dIJPhkm7k7NVX4zVCM6gSOuenbd600dO6uBNfgf1DaEA84q8/s320/vulcan.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713833575526766130" /></a><br /><br />This is a picture I found online of the actual statue:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyKjt6wOr86B0qJVz4Y-ZAPvU1snO-yNHTR2tUus12rdu4sjNtjOhrbFmq_et4vEgrmT7QYTlYlOk4Ja9NCogcawE1on5aoKCaQq8oPVrCb4DV9GxRfMgJ3Ta5Bx7USzXRNTmYQqmNkmZa/s1600/vulcan2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 242px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyKjt6wOr86B0qJVz4Y-ZAPvU1snO-yNHTR2tUus12rdu4sjNtjOhrbFmq_et4vEgrmT7QYTlYlOk4Ja9NCogcawE1on5aoKCaQq8oPVrCb4DV9GxRfMgJ3Ta5Bx7USzXRNTmYQqmNkmZa/s320/vulcan2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713834014103166834" /></a><br /><br />Sunday morning I woke up with a horrible migraine so Joe got the kids ready and took them to church then they went to his parents for lunch and play. I was finally feeling better around 4:00 p.m. so I got up and got ready and was able to go with them to Awana. <br /><br />This week is Dr. Seuss week at school. They get to dress up each day. Today was pajama day so each girl got to wear pjs and a robe to school. Why can't we have pj day at work? <br /><br />Our big news from this weekend is that we received our very first visit from the tooth fairy last night. Friday night after dinner Josie told me she had some food in her teeth. I told her to go see her Daddy because I was changing Joel. Well the next morning I was getting their breakfast ready and Josie said, "Mommy, I can't eat until you get this out of my teeth." So I looked at her mouth and felt her tooth and I said, "Honey, there is not food in your teeth, it is loose." My heart sank because I know this means she really is growing up but she was so excited I couldn't bear to let her know I was sad. So we called all the grandparents and told them about her tooth being loose. Sunday morning it was really really wiggly from where she had played with it all day Saturday, and Joe asked if he could pull it and to our surprise she said yes. (We were scared it would come out at church or school and she would lose it.) It took Joe three times, but it came out. Poor Jolie, wanting to be like her big sister, kept telling us she had loose teeth too or that she had lost one as well. So last night the tooth fairy left Josie $5.00 in her tooth pillow for her very first tooth (from now on it will only be $1.00). Jolie had also put out her tooth pillow and the tooth fairy left her $0.75. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixHjmkj4vZqMuS3QS39XdDCkbXFXK3ToIHV4Yfiz_J5rR0tGNgdMyHOh62r-ysDweprALM5HLEi9oltHgdjc6oR-S17a_9ggCdEWyKpZK9yUgOIWK-yVXr7PYYUKKGMKqaAUUmEDSaPBET/s1600/Josie.first.tooth.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixHjmkj4vZqMuS3QS39XdDCkbXFXK3ToIHV4Yfiz_J5rR0tGNgdMyHOh62r-ysDweprALM5HLEi9oltHgdjc6oR-S17a_9ggCdEWyKpZK9yUgOIWK-yVXr7PYYUKKGMKqaAUUmEDSaPBET/s320/Josie.first.tooth.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713832695854749458" /></a>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11191219906191837706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927910400865344395.post-81006836747193840272012-02-13T10:02:00.031-06:002012-02-13T13:35:45.714-06:00Mardi Gras ParadeThis was a super busy weekend for us.

We ended up with two really good pictures, a family one and one of the three kids. <br /><br />Because we had gone to the parade I missed getting with my women's group to make goodies to sell for the Relay for Life Valentines Sale, so after pictures Josie and I headed to the store to buy stuff to make goodies. When we got home Jolie and Joel were sound asleep. Josie and I stayed up until around 9 p.m. making homemade cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered marshmellows, and princess trail mix. <br /><br />Sunday Joe and Joel stayed home all day. I took the girls to church and then we helped with the Relay for Life valentine goody sale. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfKYHPR8vWSGSU2HMYF-CplwX7tECLbyutsKYXX8RQ6gpy39FP2BHIlrGSs2j1IIFSc8Fj9MEOGxg8e2HRwVz-pcgT3HxcJKZw9DeV27FhgKlEZ1VssOXZUZncKFzcFF3RoZMAzGNsEPnZ/s1600/SDC14280.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfKYHPR8vWSGSU2HMYF-CplwX7tECLbyutsKYXX8RQ6gpy39FP2BHIlrGSs2j1IIFSc8Fj9MEOGxg8e2HRwVz-pcgT3HxcJKZw9DeV27FhgKlEZ1VssOXZUZncKFzcFF3RoZMAzGNsEPnZ/s320/SDC14280.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708705795547353634" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSKBFI3zvkCepuNVs6lpokGozhAGVHkXbncnDUXpJnMZYQ5vV24Msjj1AqgQFKdkSqHXGwhDj-SrnIRlWD1PrvIUbI92YUfD0Mhi2jPu_c438Wz08uD8oQtkD3dwns4HsezrHJ-YgOw7il/s1600/SDC14279.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSKBFI3zvkCepuNVs6lpokGozhAGVHkXbncnDUXpJnMZYQ5vV24Msjj1AqgQFKdkSqHXGwhDj-SrnIRlWD1PrvIUbI92YUfD0Mhi2jPu_c438Wz08uD8oQtkD3dwns4HsezrHJ-YgOw7il/s320/SDC14279.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708705510077585106" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSc72dQqNojsgtLXr4r50cfrvW_iwlNgaQ4VEs36ZQg0ngeCZ9mD4ladbjl-hDT2Lfr1csAGsF0OdeK_jizWIUpRK9tve-v5plSqNei7D_SfyveHvQDRzyRU8nG3xB1k4JSsgEFnBqGR7-/s1600/SDC14283.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSc72dQqNojsgtLXr4r50cfrvW_iwlNgaQ4VEs36ZQg0ngeCZ9mD4ladbjl-hDT2Lfr1csAGsF0OdeK_jizWIUpRK9tve-v5plSqNei7D_SfyveHvQDRzyRU8nG3xB1k4JSsgEFnBqGR7-/s320/SDC14283.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708705089993055490" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguqCZChrGNTMCDaulndIbKV07O6KWVlD9c5i-QAvqbIdiY7NZSO8GtenqVqHpirnDpnFdhvcKUdNRHY0jSbls2GuRZmoHc66U1_FEbwFRLJcbZyi9zB8cRZV1LtQto_Xp-LgKjSAN1t2Az/s1600/SDC14281.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguqCZChrGNTMCDaulndIbKV07O6KWVlD9c5i-QAvqbIdiY7NZSO8GtenqVqHpirnDpnFdhvcKUdNRHY0jSbls2GuRZmoHc66U1_FEbwFRLJcbZyi9zB8cRZV1LtQto_Xp-LgKjSAN1t2Az/s320/SDC14281.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708704901167872642" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3wP6v9mN3Dp2-1SzF_A6FozVSA3zZAEzhdrrsT4oDr30KRVw9oDu-4nsvTwqMuoIfztXnSQ5vF1j-gw8EeoFx2VhhTlagXK7BhWqc1CFpk9QlIFJ2RA_EO9044bK3XGIWAgw5AGRi3dMX/s1600/SDC14282.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3wP6v9mN3Dp2-1SzF_A6FozVSA3zZAEzhdrrsT4oDr30KRVw9oDu-4nsvTwqMuoIfztXnSQ5vF1j-gw8EeoFx2VhhTlagXK7BhWqc1CFpk9QlIFJ2RA_EO9044bK3XGIWAgw5AGRi3dMX/s320/SDC14282.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708704735063810002" /></a><br /><br />Around 2 we took some goody trays to the nursing home and then to Ms. Gertrude from our church.

Last night I decided to put some bubbles in there and see what he would do. They never phased him. He not once played with them or even acknowledged their presence. <br /><br />I know it looks like I sat here and kept snapping the same picture, but I didn't. I would take a picture and wait and go to take another one and he would say "Cheese" and do the same adorable grin. He was definitely "hamming it up" last night :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFOGLd4Xp-EWXbJLr3oTRR4P1Bk7rM7FSAFH3lMrwHNxxFzK3xPnF-M8oy8r9BToXAgSI-zL3CY9wscJB-Fosvw4bLLmj7U_2IvKUjhRsM6X78LMljaHZGqA3R5wzf6KF1568ZZj9BnFza/s1600/100_1859.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFOGLd4Xp-EWXbJLr3oTRR4P1Bk7rM7FSAFH3lMrwHNxxFzK3xPnF-M8oy8r9BToXAgSI-zL3CY9wscJB-Fosvw4bLLmj7U_2IvKUjhRsM6X78LMljaHZGqA3R5wzf6KF1568ZZj9BnFza/s320/100_1859.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707520079470757618" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTlTGHI6vuwdM1ICNBPv0YUkVhJE468TpQAFuGvOUHAxQV_Z2sXyUv2s55U_1kvbaAcrrmYLxK9X_ObWijyjo9uuP92DwioRdkqNf1zbohOY373MKyWwCH5rhU-yL9AaScuhBl5DPbbkss/s1600/100_1857.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTlTGHI6vuwdM1ICNBPv0YUkVhJE468TpQAFuGvOUHAxQV_Z2sXyUv2s55U_1kvbaAcrrmYLxK9X_ObWijyjo9uuP92DwioRdkqNf1zbohOY373MKyWwCH5rhU-yL9AaScuhBl5DPbbkss/s320/100_1857.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707519945269172866" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinF2bde1aXK_VU9BQFx993KV5cBEUvP6IztIgGO09xlUA25ax-LCYO3tjfyhpROJP5Enmt9hbIIn6r55DN7KUUUOW1e9gIRyeBoeoNhSK4yPtQaF4SF60PpWfFz34i1rxI3YXimniCvu3n/s1600/100_1856.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinF2bde1aXK_VU9BQFx993KV5cBEUvP6IztIgGO09xlUA25ax-LCYO3tjfyhpROJP5Enmt9hbIIn6r55DN7KUUUOW1e9gIRyeBoeoNhSK4yPtQaF4SF60PpWfFz34i1rxI3YXimniCvu3n/s320/100_1856.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707519823393837858" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiemnBmCdODV52pYmNeKUY2678v55NmnSWYJZyfoNd852JCYl5MdeJjkQNcKEjnnJi6JP7854jFM7r1ipMa-FdFsEgGqCINR9uJXu8Rsx0obFAqKr9mv47ZvULQdxqIDWXtwf0ZxmOaR7xD/s1600/100_1855.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiemnBmCdODV52pYmNeKUY2678v55NmnSWYJZyfoNd852JCYl5MdeJjkQNcKEjnnJi6JP7854jFM7r1ipMa-FdFsEgGqCINR9uJXu8Rsx0obFAqKr9mv47ZvULQdxqIDWXtwf0ZxmOaR7xD/s320/100_1855.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707519701839448178" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisfSB5TLyKUfUdki6WhtQZOEGuxRFmI3JRun88ydDFyyNymbGz3ke_8ZxDnguzIS3U-5psAdU81sZt8d97Jb_EjWR2jOnN8HhUT5e8hVrt0eeYW_sJLW0E2isafJ7gzySvgOxSQCzVqkaw/s1600/100_1854.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisfSB5TLyKUfUdki6WhtQZOEGuxRFmI3JRun88ydDFyyNymbGz3ke_8ZxDnguzIS3U-5psAdU81sZt8d97Jb_EjWR2jOnN8HhUT5e8hVrt0eeYW_sJLW0E2isafJ7gzySvgOxSQCzVqkaw/s320/100_1854.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707519578751413522" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQd5hWIJg6TUgiB8VdusAFZm2HeLDWnuwOsrN-idANlIEq-V8_h3Ai2BmTy4U8pDFqarAQPq4SoO841exM8OXrfERXC1os03YPUA0IdRIgT21tMOWGcye0Zoj-VhUdapG9gqKqt2-1N1l-/s1600/100_1852.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQd5hWIJg6TUgiB8VdusAFZm2HeLDWnuwOsrN-idANlIEq-V8_h3Ai2BmTy4U8pDFqarAQPq4SoO841exM8OXrfERXC1os03YPUA0IdRIgT21tMOWGcye0Zoj-VhUdapG9gqKqt2-1N1l-/s320/100_1852.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707519391606739634" /></a>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11191219906191837706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927910400865344395.post-44313041302460795582012-02-07T09:04:00.025-06:002012-02-07T11:16:39.589-06:00Josie's First Slumber PartyWe had a first in the Burdick household this weekend, and personally I look forward to many more of these- Josie had her first slumber party. Instead of a big party for her birthday we had a family dinner the Saturday before her birthday and then she invited three friends from church (and Jolie) to spend the night this past Friday night. One of the girls did not get to come so it turned out to be four little girls "partying" with Mr. Joe, Aunt Sheila, and me. We all had a blast and it turned out way better than I expected it to. <br /><br />Friday afternoon I picked up the kids from school and dropped Joel off with Joe so we could go get their friends Jo (short for Josephine) and Catie. The girls were so excited to go pick up the girls. They had been telling everyone at MCDP they were going to get the girls. So we added two more car seats to the van and headed to Wetumpka to get Jo. After picking up Jo we headed back to Elmore to get Catie. By the time we got back to the house Aunt Sheila was there waiting to join in on the fun. The girls ran into the house to find goody bags made just for them. They each had their own bag that had bracelets, necklaces, leis, box of gummies, and butterfly straws. After playing for a few minutes we decided to make our pizzas. I though making our own bagel pizzas might be better than big pizzas. Jo told me she didn't like bagels so she made hers on bread.

Josie was actually the first one asleep, then Jo, and then Catie. Jolie had a hard time going to sleep and she actually ended up sleeping in her own bed instead of in the living room with all the other girls. <br /><br />Aunt Sheila had to be at work at 6:00 a.m. the next morning so she got up and left early Saturday morning. The girls were all awake by about 5:30 - 6:00 a.m. We got up and I fixed them breakfast of scrambled eggs, cheese grits, and fruit. Jo kept going on and on about how good the food was and I asked her if she wanted to come live with me. She said only on the days I don't have church-- sounded reasonable to me :) After breakfast we took "baby Joel" for a walk. They took turns pushing him in the stroller and we got to see two trains pass by. <br /><br />Jo was the first to leave around 9:15 a.m. when her mom picked her up and Catie left around 9:45 a.m. <br /><br />All in all I would say the slumber party was a huge success. Everyone was very well behaved and used their manners. I think and hope everyone had fun. <br /><br />After everyone left, we just vegged and took naps. That afternoon we went to Pap-paw's house so that Joe could help him move some stuff. I took the kids for a ride on the golf cart while they worked. <br /><br />The next morning we went to church and went home. The girls refused to take naps and were very ill so we ended up not going to Awana. <br /><br />This coming up weekend will be a busy but fun one. It is a family tradition to go to the Millbrook Mardi Gras Parade with Quint & Sheila so we will do that, then I have to head to church to make chocolate treats with the SOS girls to sell for our Relay for Life Valentinues Sale, then that afternoon we have our church directory pictures. <br /><br />In the meantime the season of Lent is fastly approaching so Joe and I will be in prayerful consideration about what we should give up in honor of Lent. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I would like to do something different this year.<br /><br />Love to you allJesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11191219906191837706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927910400865344395.post-23168385298979439862012-02-02T11:02:00.034-06:002012-02-02T11:57:00.875-06:00Josie is 6 !I'm a little behind with keeping everyone up to date, but in reality there is not all that much to share. We have all had some kind of sicknesses over the past couple of weeks and I think for the most part we are all well at the moment. Josie has a cough, but nothing major. <br /><br />The one super important thing that happened was that Josie turned 6!! I can't believe it. I remember holding her as a sweet little beautiful baby girl in my arms trying to imagine the days when she would go to school, ride her bike, have conversations with me, etc. and now all of that is here. She is doing great in school, she loves learning new things, she loves art and coloring, she loves playing outside, she loves singing, in fact I don't know that there isn't much that she doesn't like. I am so proud of the person she is becoming. Although she and Jolie may fight (as all siblings do) she genuinely loves and cares for Jolie and Joel. She definitely makes you feel loved and the center of her world when she is with you, reminding you several times that she loves you, wanting to sit close to you or in your lap, and giving hugs and kisses. I am a very blessed mommy with all three of my gifts from God. Some days I honestly think I can't do it, I am not sure why God thought I deserved these three incredible human beings, but then there are days when I feel like the luckiest person on the earth. As I look into Josie's future there is so much I look forward to, and all the while wishing she could stay my little girl forever. (She has already been trying to figure out which house in our neighborhood she can buy so when she gets old enough she and Jolie can move close to us, ha ha.)<br /><br />We had a family get together for Josie on Saturday the 29th. Her theme was flamingos. It was a really good night with good food and a lot of laughter.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTSeJHm9GJ4qZSvXq4RkTb0dHJpeemyYZI-VMqzCQThUUF3v3S6StNGSsvE1IFo1-j9Bhv557Fc-U2S4j65jAMNaBKQp9djM1SWUElis9uHHN2vz7lXnlksD2ChYW3-WpXoyp-O2e6LT0U/s1600/100_1801.JPG"><img style="display:block;

They had special snacks and other fesitivites all day. She had to take a collection of 100 things so I/we made a poster out 100 birthday candles. It reads, "Happy 100." She also had to dress like a 100 year old woman. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQN9fGOAoz4R02yKH-0Wxj-P7zPmEkfC_xOwowYt_qZU8NKKzvAOy12BQEycL3mkjwVSDI-Q7KmvkPVKBvMG7UQYlQ2D47ilVBkYYIgW4jrEuZslcK11yWaI94SQfxoQUh2q2wuD_Xreu/s1600/100_1821.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQN9fGOAoz4R02yKH-0Wxj-P7zPmEkfC_xOwowYt_qZU8NKKzvAOy12BQEycL3mkjwVSDI-Q7KmvkPVKBvMG7UQYlQ2D47ilVBkYYIgW4jrEuZslcK11yWaI94SQfxoQUh2q2wuD_Xreu/s320/100_1821.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704598668752722018" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3jaazZwyhJg71he-2V1IX6INelsNJALteXU4lTRxD5lTR2Xa1qKNKWZb01LJn0m-GhCF61_EtuGBQo095PuZF6JcjPtNQCR0PE-3HRkfCtfA9eetrZ-PoCQzNDWxUm40QL1WQbXEmOaNI/s1600/100_1820.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3jaazZwyhJg71he-2V1IX6INelsNJALteXU4lTRxD5lTR2Xa1qKNKWZb01LJn0m-GhCF61_EtuGBQo095PuZF6JcjPtNQCR0PE-3HRkfCtfA9eetrZ-PoCQzNDWxUm40QL1WQbXEmOaNI/s320/100_1820.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704594796882835538" /></a><br /><br />That night we took her to Olive Garden for her birthday dinner. Aunt Sheila, Uncle Quint, Caden, and Ansleigh also came as we also celebrated Sheila being offered a full time job at Hyundai. God is so good. It was a good day and night. Other Mama had even brought me the chocolates I craved when I was preganant with Josie earlier in the day. I can't tell you how much that meant to me. <br /><br />Tomorrow night Josie has invited three friends her age from church (and Jolie) to spend the night for a slumber party. Joe and Joel are going to stay Quint's house and Sheila is going to come over and help me with the little girls. I am looking forward to it because this is something I often did for my birthday growing up. I invited my dad to come help, but he turned me down for some reason, ha ha. I often had a lot more than 3 friends spend the night, it was usually more like 5-6 girls that spent the night and he would walk out the next morning and not be able to see the living room floor for all the girls in their sleeping bags. <br /><br />Thank you so much to every one who called Josie, send cards, emailed, facebooked, and sent presents. She loves talking to you all and it meant so much that so many people thought about her on her birthday. <br /><br />The other important thing that has happened is that we have welcomed another little into the world. On Friday, January 20, 2012, I picked up balloons as soon as I got of work and headed straight to the hospital to meet Chris and Crystal's new son, Christopher Lucas Collins. They are going to call him Lucas. He is super adorable, and the girls just love him.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxgIMX6_971vHDcXouFWkmBdciBiLYz-tZvloyezARvQvopX5kgq-ZKLP-RGe6RInU3UVp9QS93rV8800NlAHQq1S7uuSbWEqwwICjpqAntpkAITByJTpor9qACRE1IMj-RfJTrCzh5s_/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxgIMX6_971vHDcXouFWkmBdciBiLYz-tZvloyezARvQvopX5kgq-ZKLP-RGe6RInU3UVp9QS93rV8800NlAHQq1S7uuSbWEqwwICjpqAntpkAITByJTpor9qACRE1IMj-RfJTrCzh5s_/s320/3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704595861237682274" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2fmsfYnbKqwdAWt2axxsmgPyZ_Q8CL4S4IN9wJugh4Cb4KKwntVtw1ex1Tl5T9e7dHGJta_Gj0fxCKPHv5MRrhgzgiTdfyS5Ilob1i0emWqxE3tYJVyj0dBtN-kZJelosdpKeSwtw9mFX/s1600/100_1781.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2fmsfYnbKqwdAWt2axxsmgPyZ_Q8CL4S4IN9wJugh4Cb4KKwntVtw1ex1Tl5T9e7dHGJta_Gj0fxCKPHv5MRrhgzgiTdfyS5Ilob1i0emWqxE3tYJVyj0dBtN-kZJelosdpKeSwtw9mFX/s320/100_1781.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704596481873712434" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0BTwH629UIHSkgNwLf25d90NOhzfw-sqvb0PsZ1S645Yst6sMAcRk0VsdKQsUlL4dnQCX79uIlz1qhuK3LoDXezwruOXXc-uJ3NnDeyyxX7TOnyhBYErBVqhTzAhyKWG12JQtn-aryrD/s1600/100_1782.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0BTwH629UIHSkgNwLf25d90NOhzfw-sqvb0PsZ1S645Yst6sMAcRk0VsdKQsUlL4dnQCX79uIlz1qhuK3LoDXezwruOXXc-uJ3NnDeyyxX7TOnyhBYErBVqhTzAhyKWG12JQtn-aryrD/s320/100_1782.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704598394278253090" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeig8m4TOUQpUQeY4jByqo5r56ccMCCTHGIe2_5kUqZdm1-KAaFqMXWau6O0INaUFhCnZKnTMRiUkYbepfR5cCdFJWEjI7VMo-L832CGJNL2KSTaqEl1MYJ9jptSUlbbg03-HdpU1LZ0lE/s1600/100_1788.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeig8m4TOUQpUQeY4jByqo5r56ccMCCTHGIe2_5kUqZdm1-KAaFqMXWau6O0INaUFhCnZKnTMRiUkYbepfR5cCdFJWEjI7VMo-L832CGJNL2KSTaqEl1MYJ9jptSUlbbg03-HdpU1LZ0lE/s320/100_1788.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704596287759772706" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU25DLy-uB2HP8Aml-eABV7fKRAwR3imDd8tz_3fpLw-59r9l4TeRK7mGuTMDD4bVsd_lZE57rfqb5LZUk9jAki2UKBYrZEsaJW-I1kvGSg4qnNLp26t2gy0Wi-CkRhQtUT6bT1QHvBKP2/s1600/100_1790.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU25DLy-uB2HP8Aml-eABV7fKRAwR3imDd8tz_3fpLw-59r9l4TeRK7mGuTMDD4bVsd_lZE57rfqb5LZUk9jAki2UKBYrZEsaJW-I1kvGSg4qnNLp26t2gy0Wi-CkRhQtUT6bT1QHvBKP2/s320/100_1790.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704596139510072786" /></a><br /><br />I'll end with two pictures of Joel since he seems to be left out of this blog for the most part.
