Sabre' time

well yesterday Sabre' and I spent the whole day together. We made Christmas Candy, baked cookies. and finished our night in bed watching a Christmas movie, BJ is in South LA duck hunting with his Uncle D. He also got an early gift from Uncle D to use on the hunt. Sabre' is getting a new gun too but she just doesn't know and she has been pretty pissy about BJ getting him one and her not, so Yesterday was " Her Day". I am soo enjoying my time with her.

Hunting 2009

My Big Boy got this Big Boy an 8 point. He was soo excited. So was his MOM when I finally got to get him on camera. Ya know teenagers do NOT like to make pictures. he just bragged on his deer but then my miss priss decided she would go hunting
and this is what she came home with. A spike not bad for a 10 year old, shooting a 243 for the 1st time and dropping him.
I don't know who was more excited her Daddy or her. She came running saying I nailed me a spike!!
Her Daddy decided he would process this one his self since we have 3 already at the processor now. All in all I am really proud of both my babies they sure are loving the country life.

Halloween 2009

Sabre again I don't know how to delete photos once I get them posted. Fun was had by all though.

Well I had promised Sabre' that I would take her bowling one night so yesterday I decided to lets get it over with. lol Anyway she had a ball and was sooo surprised when we pulled in to the parking lot of our local bowling ally. Here a some of the expressions I got. I love em. The first one is my sister and me.

Good ole Daddy O trying to tell her how to roll the ball
there it goes
this is when she realized we were going bowling

Swine Flu

Not much to post, we are just in our routine, school, work, home. My Brother n law has the Swine flu and is really doing horrible so we are praying for him a safe recovery and that the rest of us around do not get it.

LIFE FLYING BY WAAY TO FAST

Well Yesterday while most kids were out of school for Columbus Day My Son was ordering his Senior Ring. I did not attempt to go with him since he says I really embarrass him with my emotional self.lol. Any way I ask my sister to go and she really held it together but then last night she was asking where did the years go with our baby boy. since my sister does not have any biological children of her own and we are twins well she thinks mine are hers and I guess they really are we are sooo close. Well I ask myself that all the time. I mean it seemed like forever for me to get pregnant (7years), now he is a 6'4" 17year old. I just don't know but I never have been a mother to take for granted my kids. They are my heart and soul. Pictures to come soon.

Halloween Treats

Well since it rained all last Sunday, I decided to let Sabre' bake her some halloween cookies. This girl of mine truly likes to cook. I mean she has been making Chicken N Dumplings since she was about 2.5 years old. I guess that is an advantage to no daycare and older great Aunts keeping her. My Aunt "M" kept her until she started kindergarten and she cooked as I like to call them "real meals". Each day she would cook some type of bean/pea for lunch and again for diner, along with a main entre' . Any way Sabre' learned very early to cook from scratch and still will tell me that is not the way " Aunt M" does it. She makes her dough for the dumplings from scratch and then rolls it out to perfect. So I decided to let her make her Cookies. and Yes she did tell me when I said I don't have a rolling pen she said it is ok just let me get a glass and some paper to put down. LOL well here is her finished job on the cookies.
My Angel Girl. Sabre' Savannah Brooke she is just beautiful.
I loved her skelleton head.
I think she did a wonderful job baking and decorating since her mom is NO decorator or sweet cooker.

More Prayers Please

I am asking again for Prayers. My best friends Mother was diagnosised this morning with Lung Cancer and given 6weeks to live it is non operatable. My poor friend has had her share of sorrow in the past 10 years, 1st her daughter n law passed away from ovarian cancer at the age of 24, 4years ago her husband passed away from cancer and 6 weeks after his death her son passed away of a heart attack, now her mother. How much more can she handle. I am talking about the best people. Please pray for their family to get through this battle.

Prayer Request

I am asking all my friends out there to pray for my friend Patti, Patti's husband was diagnosised Friday 9/11 with a brain tumor 2cm and on Monday 9/14 it was 5cm. They ambulanced him to Willis Knighten and the outcome is not looking so good. Pleas pray for her and her family to have strength during the next days ahead of their journey with this aweful battle. Thanks everyone

Had a great weekend end even in the rain I spent all day shopping on Saturday with my sister and it was wonderful, so we got some really cute fall decorations at the Hobby Lobby sale. then on to a few other places.

1st last day of Elem. School

Well today I am sad because my baby started he last year in elementary school. Next year she will be in JR High and I am soo not ready for that. I tried on her clothes last night, I don't buy "school clothes" , that I had just bought a couple months ago not summer clothes but capris and such well they are going in the Good will bag today. She has grown so much this summer and since she got in the habit of wearing only pjs all day long I just did not realize that she is growing so fast. So this weekend we will hit the mall to get my baby girl all new clothes. I was sick cause she had tons of clothes that had the tags on it. So I hope all you have a wonderful weekend.

Waves N Wheels Poker Run

This was the 1st annual Waves N Wheels Poker Run benefitting the JakeOwenRaborn Foudation

I was incharge of Check Point #4 at Farmerville Motors. We had I think around 159 hands. I do think for the 1st run for the Foundation it was a great success. I don't have any pictures of the Boat Run but maybe Melanie can get her hands on some to post on her blog. We really had a great time even though it was HOT. Anything for Angel Jake. He truly touched my life and many others.

The riders heading to stop #5Just a few in line to get their next draw

My big boy

just going back a few years. I had this picture made on canvas last year when BJ turned 16 and now he is almost 17 boy does time fly. I love my lil man so much

This was BJ last year with the big 13point he got. I am soo proud to be his mom. Today we got the news that he officially became one of the Sports Medicine Trainers for West Monroe. He took sports medicine last year and decided that he was very interested in becoming a sports medicine orthopedic specialist. Now he is really thinking with the experience he is getting that he is more interested in the career. When he was just a lil boy he always said he was going to be a Dr and now he says a Sports Medicine Dr since his mom is a big ole baby when it comes to him actually playing. I am so dang happy for him. We always live by Gods will. I will continue to pray to my God that he keeps his hand on him to make the right decisions as he gets into what life has in store for him. Keep up the wonderful work Man. I love this kid so Much. Mom
