My neice Tiffany gave birth to her 2nd girl and 3rd child.  She was due the day after my birthday but i guess the baby could not wait that long.  Her name is Emma Lynn.  She was born at 1015am.  She weighed 6lbs 10oz. And she was like 19 inches long.  She is so beautiful.  I was looking at pics of all 3 of Tif's babies at birth and they looked so much alike.

Emma Lynn 5/29/08

Tiff wanted all her kids born close to each other so that she could do birthday parties one right after another.  it might be a good idea right now.  But i am sure it will get harder as they gett older.

I got a "Birth" day cake for Emma to help Noah and Siarra celebrate their new baby sister.  It went well.

Here is a few more pics

My Halo and her Emmeee

Also this week we went to cold stone creamery.  I got Snookum's (our doggie) some ice cream.  She dug right into it..  And got it all over her face.

Halo showed me some love the other day at Pizza Hut.  Never knew everything you could do with some parmesan cheese and a spaghetti noodles. LOL

Wednesday after church we were driving down the road and to the right there was a HUGE gaggle of geese and babies trying to cross the road.  So i did a Uee and went back so i could take some pictures.

Too Cute.  But of course i am sure there were some grumpy people that were inconvience by GOD's creations.  But I enjoyed it.

  Life has been such a worldwind. I will not do the play by play of the last few months.  But i will give you a quick update. 

My Uncle Jay passed away unexpectantly.  He just turned 60 years old in January.

  He was having problems breathing at a normal doctor's appt.  So they suggested he go to the ER.  My aunt left him the ER room while she went to see someone in the hospital.  By the time she got back they said he had died.  He had a bloodclot in his lung.  It was very quick.  It was hard on me because it was my mom's twin sister's husband.  They let me live with them after my parents divorce while my mom got her feet back on the ground.  He was an awesome man.  he will be deeply missed.

 Hailie has had numerous sore throats.  So we decided to have her tonsils out at the beginning of April.  So April was a crazy month. 

We got a doggie from my sister.  Her name is Snookums.  We are getting use to each other.

We went to the Sugarland concert.  It was the girls first concert.  We had so much fun. 

At the beginning of the concert they made an annoucement to watch for the balls.

So all thru the concert we were looking at the huge plastic balls on stage.  but those were not the ones to watch out for.  At the end of the concert both members of Sugarland were in 2 inflatable balls and they walked over the crowd.  it was so neat.

 Another funny thing happened.  I knew my sister was going to be at the concert.  but i was unsure where her seats were.  We kept looking around  the stadium for them.  then all of a sudden they walk right infront of us.  They sat right infront of us.  it was pretty cool. 

When she showed me her pictures a few days after the concert she had some pictures they took before the concert.  Look closely.  See anything out of the norm? 

Me and the girls are in this picture.  We were walking right thru my sisters pictures and did not even know it.

May was not any different in crazyness. 

Hailie's BIG Sister got married.  It was such a beautiful wedding.  It was a 1920's theme.  Real nice.

It is the end of the school year.  So the girls have so many things going with school.  Hailie had her DARE graduation.  Steve surpised her and came.  It was really nice for him to be there to encourage her.  Stevie was apart of the Invention Convention.  She made a desk organizer.  it was neat.  It is a very busy time right now.

My neices had their prom this past weekend.  It was the same day as my great-neice Siarra's birthday.  So they basically went hand-in-hand.  Siarra had a princess birthday.  So she wore her cinderella dress when Cheyanne and Cindy got there.  It was so cute for the little princess to think that the 2 bigger princesses got dressed up for her big day.  My middle neice Cindy asked me to take a picture with her.  That touched me.  We are not that close, so for her to to ask me to take a picture with her made me feel so honored.

Something really cool happened yesterday: There is a salon in C-Ville that likes to pamper single moms.  The girls principal was contacted to see if she had any single moms that deserved to be pampered.  And she thought of me!!  I was so honored that she felt that i was deserving of a makeover.  It was such a fun time.  I have always been intimidated about getting my hair done.  Cuz it seems the stylist cuts my hair, spins me around, ask for my money and kicks me out the door.  But these awesome women really took the time to not only style my hair, but to explain to me what i need to do to keep up the style.  Hailie got there at the end, she was so shocked.  she did not believe it was me.  It was nice.  I am not going to reveal the before & after pics for a few days.  so that way i can show as many people as possible in person.

GOD is awesome!!!  As a single mom i feel sometimes i try to have a pity party for myself cuz i am a single mom.  But I try to just do what is asked of me without complain and GOD honors and glorifies me with a free makeover.  Thank you FATHER GOD!!!

Stay tuned for the makeover pics soon....

So that is the last 2 months in a nutshell.  I am leaving for Beachstock on Friday.  I am SO EXCITED.  Beachstock is a single retreat for the International Church of Christ in Virginia Beach, VA.  Just to be able to fellowship and be in GOD's glory is so AWESOME.  So hopefully I will be able to blog soon.  Take Care.  To GOD be teh GLORY.
