PAYTON

please pray for my girl--
We went to the doctor today and had test @ the hospital. go back 2morrow for more. She had a rough day!

look what i did Yesterday

I took the little people to school. Came home did a few things: the laundry, cooked, baked a few cookies and then went to the field. I spent most of the mid-day riding the combine with Mitch. We had a good day, finished a field and started cutting @ the house. After school the little ones rode with their daddy and all was well in the world--- at least MY WORLD

MY BOY

I prayed for this child. The Lord has given me what I asked him for. 1 Samuel 1:27

This verse is very dear to my heart. This had been my prayer for many years. Payton is 10 and Drew turned 4-- September 1---

This verse came up today and My heart, soul and mind is always greatful for the book of Samuel and the story in it. I can still Hear Ms. Sue Sullivan--- went to see her, had been sick, she listened and said "lets start with a kidney specimen" . she came in with her smile--- she asked a few questions, then informed me --Amy, your pregnant-- still smiling! I thought i was going crazzzy and had told her that when i got there. Anyway---- I have Drew and the LORD Gave me exactly what i Asked FOR=== Drew, a baby boy!!

Thank you Lord for answered prayers!

Great Weather

Payton is much better and both little people will be in school 2morrow!!! :) We have had a great weekend. the weather has been a gift and I have loved it. Thank You Lord for a Beautiful weekend!

Payton

Please say a little prayer for Payton today. this is day 2 that she has been home sick!

the look

Do they look excited or What? Payton looks bored out of her mind.


took these the other day. trying to get a really cool one of the two of them before we get a new little person.

Help

I'm looking for a popcorn ball recipe. Heather (corban/Lewis's) Aunt Elsie made the BEST popcorn balls every year for us- little people. I would love to have a recipe close to her's. trying to get the one she used... waiting on Heather. So instead of being PATIENT--- i'm asking any of you Ladies if you have a great family Popcorn ball recipe (HINT Ms. Barbara) or any of you ladies. thanks for the help. :)

Today we celebrated Drew's b'day again with an official b'day party. His Birthday is Sept 1. If you recall that was hurricane Gustav (hope i spelled that right). We canceled the b'day party because of the weather. We celebrated in Meadville and did present on a very small scale with MawMaw, LaLa, PawPaw Buster... you get the picture. Well today we had a small version of the original plans. Invited a few friends over played, ate watermelon, sliced apples with caramel dip and boiled peanuts and had fun. The watermelon was the "birthday cake". Drew doesn't eat cake. The weather was the perfect gift--- cool, breezy and very comfortable outside. Everyone had a great time and Drew got his "Spider-man B'day party".
Here are a few pics--- his mom didn't take many pics :(



Drew coming down the slide. Yes, that is a sucker in his mouth. I KNOW HOW DANGEROUS it is!


Hanging out @ the party!!!

Canton flea market is tomorrow!!!!

Yesterday i had doctor visit. Everything is better much better. I have gained 1#--- but i had lost more than 20# in the beginning. Dr. Rushing said everything looks good and the baby boy (who doesn't have a name) is doing great!! We plan on having a c-section on Dec 17, 2008! What a great CHRISTmas present!

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That He would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be Strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be Glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughtout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21

I love this passage and prayed these verses over Payton and now Drew all too many times. Now I will begin to pray them over the new little personin my life.

May the Lord Bless you and keep you today also as I have prayed for all the readers of this blog also today.

Yes --that is Mr. Charles Freeman's truck full of 40# boxes of SWEET POTATOES!!! I picked up 3 boxes yesterday-- 1 for me, my mom, and Uncle Gary. I'm thinking i may need one more box. My little people LOVE these tators. That is a lot of sweet tators! if you want some you better get'em now, this is his 2nd load and they are going fast....

It's that time of the year.... Harvest Season. Time to get the soybeans and milo combined and hauled off. here are a few shots

soybeans
combine, "Miss Payton" is the big truck in the background that hauls the grain to the elevators. This is a busy time of the year but it is one of my favs---- i don't like corn season and thankful this is the first year in years that NONE!!! was planted.

saturday

We had a great weekend. Enjoyed a visit with the family in Meadville. My PawPaw was having a good day, Drew rode the 4-wheeler and helped Uncle Gary & Matthew work on the deer plots. Payton and I made a birthday cake for Mitch and hung out with Momma, Malisa and PawPaw.
Headed to Smithdale. Drew rode the combine, Payton rode her bike and I hung out. Ms. Joyce cooked shrimp and all the trimmings for Mitch. it was very good.

look

Payton and Drew were outside playin after school and i got some cutie pics but of course Drew has a DIRTY face and they both have on school clothes. We changed clothes, washed a face and i think I got some really great shots. Hope you enjoy these.....
