Do you see what I see?

We just got back from the ocean and for the most part we are all fried! Look at this pic of Callie... do you see what I see?

She has a white trail all around the outer edges of her face where she applied her sunscreen. Apparently, she didn't get it rubbed around her whole face. It is hilarious!
Here are Cassie, Leanna, and Abby doing what they like best, cruisin' and cheesin' on the back of the golf cart.
Hope you all had a super Sunday. We sure did miss our church people.

We're Here!

Well, we made it! And I was wrong I do have Internet access. I am apparently bumming off of somebody else's connection. (Don't tell nobody!) Anyway, we arrived at about 11:30, checked in, unloaded, and went to check out our friend's place. Then Marla, Leanna, and I went to Wal-Mart for groceries. Now we are all set, for a few days anyway. You know how excited I was to see Clint? Well, He asked if him and Cory could stay with a friend of theirs tonight. Kids! Well have a super Saturday. I will keep you posted.

Beach Bound


Well the car is packed and we are ready to go. We will be leaving at 6 am tomorrow morning for a week of fun in the sun. I don't know how much Internet access I will have, so don't expect much out of a Hoppin' Place to Be until we get back. I am looking forward to seeing Clint (He's already at the beach with a friend), I have only seen him 19 hours (most of that time he was asleep) out of the past 14 days. We are going to miss Bailey while we are gone, but she's in good hands with our friend Hannah. Sorry Bay Bay we will make it up to you.
We are all looking forward to spending some time with some good friends of ours from church also.
Have a good week!

It's my 1 month Blogiversary today. No gifts, please! lol!

Appointments and Packing

I bet you all have been wondering where I have been. Well, I could blame it on being extremely busy, but the truth is I have been mostly LAZY.
Let's see...Friday the kids came home from PR. After we picked them up at the airport, we went to the Cracker Barrel and ate some good ole American cookin'. By the time we got finished and made it home, it was 10:00 and we were exhausted. I started washing Clint's clothes as soon as we walked in the door because he was going to be leaving for the beach with a good buddy of his less than 24 hours later.
On Saturday, I continued washing clothes, helped Clint get repacked, and uploaded Cassie's PR pics to Walgreen's so that I could get them developed. She took 213 pictures, I was so proud of her! You can view a slide show of some of them at Cassie's Corner . Callie went to play and spend the night with a friend on Saturday, and that afternoon Clint went to his friend's to leave for the beach. That left Cassie as an only child. That evening we went to Walgreen's to pick up the pics I had sent via Internet, and Cassie wanted to go to Ham's for cheese fries and a cheesy chicken sandwich.
On Sunday, we went to church, of course. We had two wonderful, spirit-filled services. God is blessing in our church family, and I am glad I am able to witness it. Our teens testified about the PR trip, and many others testified about miracles that are happening in their lives.
On Monday, I substitute taught for a friend of mine at this summer enrichment program I told you about in an earlier post. Also, Terry turned 52! The girls made him cards, and I cooked him a good meal. He wants a new pair on tennis shoes, and that is something I can't go out and buy him. So, he is going to buy his own gift. After we ate and cleaned up the dishes, Cassie had cheer practice.
On Tuesday, Cassie was dying to get the new Miley Cirus cd. She purposely saved some of her PR spending money so that she could buy it. So, the girls and I went to Wal-Mart so that she could purchase it. Then, we went to Chick-fil-A for lunch. Next, I had a hair appointment. Later that evening Cassie had cheer practice again. After cheer practice, she went to spend the night with Taylor from Taylor's Blog.
On Wednesday, Callie and I were truly LAZY! We laid around in our pjs all day and watched the tube. We were still in our pjs when Terry got home from work! That evening we went to church, and again we had a tremendous service. A man that was sitting behind me got saved!
Well today, Cassie has a dentist appointment and an orthodontist appointment. Sometime today we have got to start packing for the beach. We are leaving early Saturday morning for a week. When we get there, Clint and his friend will meet up with us, and his friend's parents will be going home. There will also be some good friends of ours from church staying at the same place as us.
Well, I believe I have caught you up. Hope you have a good day.

6 quirky things about me

I was tagged by Susan from Boogers in the Woodpile to do a Meme.

Here are the rules:
1) Link to the person who tagged me.
2) Mention the rules.
3) Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about myself.
4) Tag 6 other blogger´s by linking to them.
5) Go to each person’s blog and leave a comment that lets them know they’ve been tagged

BTW, I ain't good at stuff like this!
  • I have this thing about flesh touching flesh. I don't like for my skin to touch my skin or anyone else's skin to touch mine for that matter. I know this is strange, and I am dealing with it. I know what you're thinkng...how in the world did she manage to have 3 kids? Honestly, I don't know!!!!
  • I love to eat meat, but I don't like to handle it. The more I handle it the less likely I am going to eat it. And oh yeah, I hate the words meat, pork, etc. I didn't eat any meat when I was pregnant with my girls.
  • Most nights I don't sleep in the same place all night. For example, if I start out in the bed I move to the couch, lounger, love seat, or even one of the kids beds during the night. Sometimes I move more than once. Maybe its related to the flesh thing I mentioned earlier, who knows.
  • 2 foods I totally despise are mayonaise and eggs. However, I can eat them hidden in certain dishes. The strange thing is my family says I make fabulous deviled eggs.
  • I can't sleep with rings, watches, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, etc. on my body, including my wedding ring. I know by now you are probably thinking...my goodness its a miracle this poor girl ever sleeps!
  • I smell everything. I am not going to elaborate on this one.

Who I am tagging: (I broke the rules, I am only tagging 2)
