Hey yall!!!

How are yall doing? Please let me know in a comment for I do want to know!!!

I just wanted to let everyone know whats been going on around here! I know I am LOOONNNNGGGG over due for a real post so here is one for ya to read!!

Me and my family had that stomach bug that like everyone had at the beginning of December. Then we went and got our flu shots after we all got over that(because if Becca gets the flu she will have to be hospitalized and we dont want that!!). And then(!!) we all have a bad cold and everyone of us kids, well not Nate, have ear infections!!!!!!

But on to happier thoughts...... 

!!!!!!!!!!!!CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Christmas! A time to be with your family and loved ones! It is such an amazing and fun time! Making new memories wit your family!

Winter is just about here!! I LOVE winter!!! Being all bundled up! And almost freezing to death(ok not really, I mean come on I live in Georgia! But I do get so cold!)! And boots with short skirts! And tights! And long skirts! And sweaters! And scarves! And hats!! AND(if we ever get it) SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol If you cant tell I love everything about winter!!!!

It is almost another New Year!! 2013! I wonder what all it will bring? A new Niece,(Love you Millie and cant wait till you get here), and sister-in-law! And I will no longer be a teenager, I'll be 20!!!!I really cant believe that I'll be that old! 

Well that's all I have time for today! Have to go check on the little ones who are wraping their gifts for the rest of the family and then find something for dinner.

Much love to all of my dear readers!!

Merry Christmas!

Until next time,

Our tent!

The other day it was raining outside and the little kids needed something to do, so I got all our extra blankets and a big roll of tape Daddy said we could use and I took them downstairs to make an amazing little tent!   

Happy little campers

All our pillows from the house(Not Mama's and Daddy's bed though)

How they best like to pose :)

   Until later

p.s. "BFF" means Big Family Fun! :)

As I was laying in bed last night the realization hit me.....

I know I will be SOOO happy when I meet my "dream man" and he takes me to be his wife, to clean for him, and cook for him, and be his.

 But then I realized that I have never thought of what it will be like leaving my siblings and parents! 

And so naturally I did think about that last night, and I realized that I will lose them. 

Not like lose as in never see them again or I will not be in their life again.

 I mean lose as in I will never have the time to sit and talk to them for hours, or be able to have dumb and pointless fights, or talk about the things we do, or help clean up the house, or give the little kids baths. Pick out church clothes. Mess around with Abi's hair, or all the other things that are to much to name, and the worst I think I will lose is our nightly family bible study! *I love that time together!!*

 Now I'm also not saying that I will never be able to do any of those things with them when I do get married it's just that I wont be able to do them as the single sibling I am now, I will have a husband and he will come first!

I know we will still be close, for me and Bb are still very close but it is a different closeness.

My point.

Enjoy the time you have with your siblings now while you are single because when you get married it will change! 

From a single-single sibling close, to a married-single sibling close.

Stone Mt. Trip....

 Daddy's work had a company meeting thing at stone mountain a few weeks ago. We got like a day pass and got to do almost everything. It was a good day to conquer-no, attempt to conquer my fear of heights (it didn't really work, I still hate them)!

Here are a few photos from the day.

No I am not going to put them in any order and no I am not going to add captions to them!
 Sorry! 

You'll forgive me!

He fell asleep on the train!!

Idleness vs Diligence......

Our honey bees cleaning up the things we use to gather the honey.

Idleness -

(mentioned in the Bible 3 time)

Pro 31:27- 

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 

Ecc 10:18- 

By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through

Eze 16:49-

 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Our honey!!!

Diligence-

(mentioned in the Bible 10 time, I got the 4 I liked best)

Pro 4:23-

 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

2Pe 1:10-

 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Heb 6:11-

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 

2Co 8:7-

  Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.

Straining it again, and putting it into jars.
