Happy New Year
I made the executive decision to let Hudson stay up to see the New Year in tonight;) He thought that was a great idea. Just got back in from watching all the fireworks in the Hood. FYI, we sat in the truck in the driveway, because it is verrrrry cold outside. We just welcomed in our 1st New Year in together (awake). Way Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Update...in my last post I asked for prayer for McMamma and Stellan. They did not have to put Stellan on the vent, in fact all the prayers have worked, the last time I checked in Stellan had been moved out of the PICU to a regular room on the floor and is off the oxygen completely. Our God is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are still here
Ya'll I follow McMomma's blog @ www.mycharmingkids.net/ and her 8 wk old son has been sedated and put on the vent. He has RSV. They need your prayers. This little boy is already a miracle. Please pray for McMomma and McMuffin (Stellan).

Snow Day Pics
Yep, that is snow you see in the pictures, I know it is hard to believe that we had that much snow in So MS. And to top it all off that is the 2nd time this year. If this keeps up I might have to move to a warmer clime. I mean come on I live in So. MS for a reason. Oh, ok you got me, I live here because this is where the action is. I mean come on with my friends and family around it is the hotspot, the place to be. LOL

It's Official
On a different note, last night was 1st Friday, which around here means scrapbooking, and fellowship with friends. Thanks for all you do for us Tracie, you ROCK!!!!!!
We had another Lady Eagle Basketball Game tonight, of course they won. They beat William Carey. I do like going to the games, even though I still don't understand a lot of it, and enjoy spending time with the girls. They are some awesome young ladies. Hudson absolutely loves them.

New Phase of Life
On a bit of a different note, Santa came to visit Hudson tonight. I wish I had a video camera to capture his face when he heard Santa Ho Ho Ho ing coming up the sidewalk then he went Ho Ho Hudson on the porch. Hudson ran to the front door and opened it going "it's Santa." He had a nice visit with Santa and Moma got pictures. He was so excited. Thank you Santa, you made a little boy's night.

Happy Thanksgiving
Hudson is thankful for his "feasts." He has had 2 meals in 2 hours. Poor boy was beside himself when I cooked Ham Steak w/ scrambled eggs, O.J., & decaf coffee for his breakfast. Then he had Turkey, english peas, mashed pots w/ gravy, and homemade cranberry compote. Now he's worried if we might miss supper. LOL Where does he put all of that food?
I am thankful for my family and friends. We were not able to spend Thankgiving with my parents this year, Daddy had his chemo treatment Tues., but we are very thankful that we still have him with us. I am very thankful for my wonderful friends who have been there for me through everything. (including heeding the call to homeschool Hudson.) And I am most thankful for being Hudsons Mom.

Even more reason
This plus everything else (TKD, Yoga, Scrapbooking) gives most of my family reson to think I have Lost My Mind. Yes, I have, but I am really enjoying the new me lately.

Basketball
Anybody that has known me awhile thinks I have REALLY LOST MY MIND, I have never cared for sports (except Nascar)(loved Dale Earnhardt.) Now this is my 3rd season with the Lady Eagles (loving every moment.). This summer I started TKD and just a few weeks ago I joined Yoga, oh man I am really enjoying both to those. (Sports and exercise have never been something I have been guilty of til now;p) I do have one other activity that causes some laughs in my family, Scrapbooking, simply because I was the one that went to all the functions without a camera. Now I almost always have my camera with me, do not want to miss a good shot.
I have learned one thing over the past couple of years. Life is too short (sometimes extremely so) too let it pass you by. I am going to enjoy what time I have and fill my son's life and my life with some wonderful happy memories. Enjoy it you only get one chance at life.

"Awesomest Party"
The party was a HUGE HIT. The kids had the best time ever and it was a mother's dream for a party. Seriously, all I did was order the pizza to be delivered. (I know it was a hard job, but someone had to do it. :-) ), everything else was taken care of. The kids enjoyed the party but were really excited about the game too. And they got a good show, the Lady Eagles were awesome, they won the game 96 to 56.

Scrapbooking
Last night ROCKED, I had a good time talking with friends, but ya'll the creative ideas this chick came up with blew even my mind. Those are some neat pages. Like I said last night, the yoga must be helping get oxygen to my brain, because it sure was working last night.
Gotta go, housework is calling me...I will try to get some party pics up later this evening if I am still semi functioning....

Thanks
We are getting ready for the cowboy parade at school tomorrow, it starts bright and early. I don't know if that is all that is going on or if there is something else. Just have to remember the camera and the cowboy outfit. ;-) If we get through in time I hope to make it to yoga tomorrow. I always thought yoga was new agey kind of stuff, but I enjoy it. Never hurts to try something one time, you might actually suprise yourself and find something you really enjoy. I have done that twice lately, once with Tae Kwon Do & now with yoga. It is not just hype when they tell you it will help with flexability, make you feel younger, and in my case I have lost 18 lbs so far. I Looooovvve my classes.
Hudson and I both are in the midst of preparing for testing for our next belt. So if you should happen to see us, we haven't lost our minds, we are practicing our stuff. Hudson thinks that it is neat that I am in TKD and he enjoys it when we do have the chance to work out at home together.( I really need to make more time for that.) I hope he still enjoys having Mommy in TKD when he is a teenager. Someone told me "The family that kicks together sticks together"
Well folks I just got a better offer, Hudson wants to go look at the Moon & Stars together so I am gone.

Help, I can't move
Please pray for my father, he will start his chemo treatments tomorrow.

Tae Kwon Do
This is our group that went to Chattanooga for the tournament. We all have our medals on for pics to be sent to our local papers. I am the Green Belt in the center with the very big smile and Hudson is the cutie on the right in the front row. My Daddy is having a blast telling everyone he knows (and even some he doesn't) that I won the bronze medal in sparring and that Hudson won the silver in forms. He calls me the Kung Fu Kid. You are never to old to learn new things, I am learning more lately and am absolutely having a good time.
I know I promised pics from our elephant ride at the circus but My HP program seems to have deleted that album and one more just for the fun of it, and I had not printed those pics yet, so if Shannon & I can't figure it out they are lost. I am not happy about that.
Becoming Tech Savy
Supposed to have gone to the Lady Eagles Basketball Game today, but with my days as busy as they have been and no slow down in sight, I had too much to do at home, namely all of the above, plus make cupcakes for party at school tomorrow, keep the washer going, and get ready for a birthday at home tomorrow and a birthday party Saturday, and all the things that Moms have to do.
I am going to take this time to get serious for a minute. I really would like to ask everyone to pray for my Daddy, he goes to the Dr. tomorrow to set up his chemo treatments,just remember him in your prayers.

Mitchell Farm
I finally figured out (or had the time at home) how to get pictures onto my blog so now I am having some fun, and can finally put pics with my journaling so when I get ready to scrapbook My brain will not have to work too hard. These pics are from when Mary Ann and I took the kids to Mitchell Farms in Collins.

Halloween
On a scrapbooking note, the guy is working on my closet so I will have a place to scrapbook and just shut the door on instead of having to pack everything up. It looks awesome. The guy knows his stuff. He has some really great ideas.

AHH Home
Ya'll Yoga is awesome. The TKD academy started offering Yoga this week. I have only been 1 day so far but intend to go tomorrow. The stretching is really good plus it is an hour to yourself to take care of yourself so you can recharge your batteries to see to the family. For some one who for most of her life considered exercise (and physical activity) a dirty word, I sure have enjoyed Tae Kwon Do and now Yoga. I know I enjoy feeling this good. Come keep work out with us, either in Yoga or TKD.

Sightseeing
Ok, I DID NOT feed my son and I Ben & Jerry's for lunch today, and we absolutely did not enjoy it either. Good thing our trip consisted of alot of walking or those trips to Ben & Jerry's might start to add up.
For anyone that wants a nice get away Chattanooga is the place to go, there is so much to do from the Aquarium, Childrens Museum, Lookout Mt., Ruby Falls, and so much more.
Tomorrow we head home, it is fun to travel but it is even better to come home. Pray for safe travel for us and pray for the rest of our group from the academy that will be traveling home Tuesday.

Doing Nothing
C (my husband) and I took H to the circus last night. It was in town for 2 days, it was a last minute decision to go, but we had a blast. H and I rode the elephant. I will put up pics when I can get them loaded onto the computer. H also rode the camel and ponies. On the way home late last night H called his Papaw and Granny L and told them all about his trip to the circus and riding the animals. When he gets off the phone he says ..... Thank you, mommy for taking me to the circus, and riding the elephant with me and letting me ride the camel, and ponies. You are the awesomest mommy! Oh thats what memories are made of.
I'm It
1. My Daddy named me. It was a name he liked.
2. My life is so different then I ever thought it would be. I am absolutely enjoying it.
3. I am trying my best to become a little more tech savy.
4. I like to get things done.
5. I am a card toting Native American. My name is on the Cherokee Nation roll.
6. I prefer a good book over the T.V.
7. I seem to like to learn new things.
