The other night Matt came home with a huge vase of daisy. Everything seems to going so fast and crazy he just wanted to remind to stop and smell the flowers! He is so great! Thanks bud! Tonight after dinner we had Popsicles.
Maymie loves anything sweet-- (have no idea were she gets that- yea right!)


Hope your day was bright-- even though it rained!! It was nice to see the rain!!
Love to all!!

Kelvey Lynn Sarver

My friend Stacey was put on bed rest last week and so she had some idea that Kelvey was coming, but no idea that the labor would last less than 1 hour. Her water broke at 7:40 Ron hurries home gets her-- well of course rush hour traffic is at it best. They flag a cop down ask if he can give them an escort to the hospital. God is always watching and puts the right people in your life at the right time. They arrive at Baptist she gets hooked up to the monitors at 8:12 Kelvey is born at 8:29! Stacey your so brave!!! Way to MOM & DAD!!!!

Blessing are upon them!!!
Kelvey Lynn Sarver August 28, 2007 8:29am 5 lbs 1 oz 17 1/2 inches long!
Sweet baby girl!!!

Prayer please

When everything is going 100 miles around you that is when you need to stop and pray. If you are like me you have that little voice deep down asking why? Why do bad things happen? Why are great people faced with hard struggles? I am one that always saying everything happens for a reason, but every now and then things get to be to much.
With all that I am asking for prayer for a very important man. A wonderful husband, a great dad, and the best Pop! Gingers Dad was told that he has another brain tumor. They are not sure how to fight this one and he needs every ones prayer. His name is Larry Cooper.
Please remember him daily!
Also a friend that Matt and I graduated with her brother baby is fighting for his life here is a link to read more on him. His name is Bennett. www.totsites.com/tot/bennettmitchell
Thanks!

p.s.. I have had computer problems that is why I have not been updating!
Hope to get it worked out soon!

Having fun!

Maymie and Ellie have been playing all morning!
They have such a good time together!!

Biggest Tea Party!

Sunday we had a family day! Matt spent the day with us- which lately has been very rare! Maymie enjoyed the day with her Daddy! We took Maymie to see the My Little Pony's Biggest Tea Party! Maymie enjoyed the show and being with her daddy!

This slide is more for Maymie, but you can check out the show.
There is only a couple of pictures of her the rest are of the show.

Look there is a COW!!!

So the other night Julie, Ellie, Maymie and I went to Smyrna's Click a Fil A for family night!
We had a great time! A man was walking around making things out of balloons. Maymie got a Daffy Duck hat ( I am not sure she knows who he is, but it was cute!) Ellie got a huge crown!! We had lots of fun ~~ Playing on the playground is always an adventure. One kid tried to steal Ellie's crown, one kid wet his pants and did not care, and then kids were yelling~ scared Maymie and we decided that it was time for ice cream! Ellie had a eye out for the cow. She loved telling you were the cow was, but was not to sure about him when he got close. We will have to go back!!!
Thanks Julie for the pictures!!

I am out of it!!

Sorry I have been with it-- the past couple of days! I had a little scare, but it just seems that Missy did what she does best-- missed place something-- my little camera! Everything is good now cause it ended up in the bottom of Austin's bag! I am in the kitchen tonight and Matt is yelling Miss come here... Shirey is on TV!! Who would have thought Gerrod tracking down bad guys!! So proud of you!!!

Finding Your Purpose, Each and Every Day

Thanks Amber this is so true.
I am always thinking -- what is my purpose?

Finding Your Purpose, Each and Every Day.

Jeremiah tells us: "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope." Reflecting and praying about our purpose - whether for today, the week ahead, or the rest of our lives - is the key to discovering God's plan, designed just for us.

By taking just two minutes (preferably before the day gets too crazy) to align your day with your overall goals, your purpose will be better illuminated.

What steps have you taken to discover your true purpose today?

Derek's Birthday!!

Wow Derek turned 6!!
It seems like yesterday we were all waiting to find out if G's baby was a boy or girl!!!
He had a great birthday party at the bounce factory!!
Maymie LOVES the bouncy house!
Here are a few shots of the big night!
Love to all!!
