Almost...

I got this sweet picture from Molly's teacher today at school.  Since this BIG girl is turning 3 on Sat., we took cupcakes for her class today to share with her friends.  I can't believe this little thing is going to be 3 in 2 days!!!  Man time sure does FLY!

 

Happy Birthday Papa Flynt!!!

Today everyone remembers this day as the day the twin towers fell.  We think of that, but we also celebrate this special guys birthday!  I will never forget what I was doing when the twin towers fell, just like I won't forget the first time I met my father in law.  He has always welcomed me with open arms, and treated me like one of his daughters.  So, it is today that we celebrate David, and him getting another year older.  Well, we actually celebrated with dinner on Sunday, but today is the actual day!

 

Happy Birthday David/Papa Flynt/Dad...

We love you!

Girls and tractors...

I just got these pictures from Chris of the girls when they "drove" the tractor while we were at the Clothesline Fair.  They had a blast driving the tractor with Papa Flynt!  I love that even our girls love the John Deere.

 

Random surprises...

I love it when the lady that keeps Molly (Brooke) sends me pictures throughout the day!  I love seeing her sweet face on my phone, since I can't see her in person!  Thanks Brooke for sharing these memories with me.

 

Every girl needs some lotion...

 

 Mr. Cliff came home from work for lunch last week, and the kids loved hanging out with him...I love that he plays treats her just like one of his boys...that's what she is used to!



Happy Happy 40th!

Back a few years ago...well 24 or 25 years ago my cousin Lance brought this sweet girl to one of our family gathers.  From the beginning I was destined to love her...especially since her name was Misty.  It was hilarious.  I spent most of my late Jr High/High School/College life with the same name as someone else...Misty Webb!  Let me tell you I have not met a sweeter person in this WORLD, and it is not an exageration.  She will put all other people and things above her own needs, and loves every minute of it.  Her and Lance have 4 wonderful kids, and every Christmas for the past few years have offered up their house to hold our HUGE family for our Christmas Eve celebration!

 

Well, Saturday night we all came out to celebrate Misty's life!  Misty turns 40 this week, and some of her friends and family got together to surprise her for a night with dinner and laughs. 

 

We had such a good time hanging out, laughing, and remembering some great times together!  I am glad that we could come together and celebrate her life.  Thanks Lance for marrying such a wonderful girl back then, that has grown into an amazing lady!

 

The two Mistys...

This is our friend Jackie...I have come to really like this lady!  She is the PTO President at Carter and the girls school and I am her Treasurer.  Loved getting to know her even better as well...

And I certainly would not be where I am today without this girl...my cousin Michelle.  She has been there for me from the time I was born.  I am sure you all will be surprised to hear but she actually was the one who sang Janet Jackson's song, Nasty Girls...hahaha.  At least that is what she told me, and I believed her for the longest time.  

Thanks Jackie and Michelle for getting some of us together to celebrate Misty's life, and thanks Misty for getting another year older!

Tattoo...Real or Not?

Last night as I was on my way to Gravette's first football game, Chris sent me these pictures.  These 2 boys of mine are so funny!  Sure do love them!

 

Carter flexing with his not 1 but 2 tattoos...

Then of course if you are getting a tattoo of someone, why not The HULK!

Let's Go Racing!!!!

So, this past weekend was the BIG race weekend.  Renae and I always laugh about the looks that we get from people when we tell them we are going to a NASCAR race.  I mean come on just because we are girls doesn't mean we can't like racing!  None the less, we had a girls weekend that was more like a guys weekend but it was perfect for us.  We met up at the airport in Atlanta on Saturday morning, and then spent the day catching up on everything, watching football, and eating occassionally.  I had the best time, and love having these meetings with her. 

 

 I do have to say other than the fact that there was no BIG wreck during the race (a first for us), it was a good race.  It was the first one that I didn't sweat like a pig at, and even better we never had to stop and wait on traffic when we were leaving.  And you may think that is not a big deal, but sitting in one spot for 45 mins is not fun, and we have done that A LOT!

This is my friend Renae that broke her elbow a few weeks back, and this is the only picture I have of her with her pretty pink tape on.  She is doing so good, considering she has 7 screws and a plate in her elbow, and she just had surgery 3 weeks ago.  I love that even a broken elbow didn't keep her from our race weekend.

We had perfect seats...right in front of pit road exit, and our driver was really close to where we could see hit pit!

 We have our gear on and ready for race to start!  We also put these on thinking the lady next to Renae would STOP talking to her.  Ha, sorry about that Renae!

 Through most of the race we really thought our man Carl was going to win...you remember this guy....You know from the BEST race that we have been to.  I mean it's not every day you get to stand in the pit box of your favorite driver (Martinsville 2011)!!!  Can you tell how excited I was?

 But instead of our favorite driver, this guy won!  I like me some Kyle Busch too, and even better that I actually met him this year at Shareholders back in June!  How awesome is that?!?!?!

 What a great time with Renae this past weekend!  Can't wait to see which race we are going to next year, maybe Chris will decide to come to that one and hang out with us crazy girls!!!

Thanks Renae for a great weekend!
