Volley ball, Volley ball, & MORE Volley ball!

Well we had the 6th annual memorial day bash at the Sawyer compound and as usual it was a lot of fun... Food, fellowship, fun, and then of course VOLLEY BALL! This year we had some newcomers to the game such as; Cedric, Lacy Gee, & Ryley Gee (Noodle Jr.) As you can see below Mauck and Noodle go to battle at the net. Then you have Cedric and Lacy diving for glory! Noodle Jr. Well Ryley just dominated on the serves. We had a lot of fun and really appreciate all the hard work the Sawyers put into making this event happen.

Memorial Weekend at The Lake

Ryley and I had an awesome time at lake Eufala (is that the correct spelling Tom) All my cousins and some aunt and uncles and grandparents came... We had like 5 RV's 2 ski boats, a big fishing boat and a TON of fish... In two days they caught 80 cat fish on lines. So needles to say friday night we had a huge fish fry and it was so nice just to be with all the people that I grew up with and for me to get to share a little bit of how I came up with Ryley was irreplaceable for me! Growing up we were at the lake nearly every weekend in the summer! Ryley and my cousins kids rode bikes all over, swam, fished, boated, chased girls.... No just kidding on the last one. Here are some pics of my family at the lake and our good time.

Landscaping and Sunburns!

Yes it is all Tom Sawyers fault. No just kidding Tom. Tom inspired me to landscape my yard. I went and picked up some pine bark mulch the other day in his backyard and decided to use it. I had two flower beds in back and one in front that had been over taken by weeds, like knee high... I spent a total of 7 hours digging up weeds smoothing, laying down trash bags (to prevent weeds) and laying out the mulch... All this time I have no shirt on. I used sun screen only where I could reach as you can see below it wasn't enough! OUCH!!! Anyways thanks to I used the 3 bags you gave me and bought 10 more plus some stone as well...

SIN! What Sin?

I was listening to K-love today and something was said about a song that hit me and touched my heart... We all know what I am about to say but I think our busy lives enable us to forget the power behind it. Have you ever done something and thought, "I wish I could turn back time" you know just hit rewind and the mistake is no longer in existence. The song on K-love titled "What Sin?" Is so powerful. See no matter what sin you have in your life now or in the past you have a rewind button called JESUS all you have to do is ask Jesus to forgive you and he simply replies with What Sin? How incredibly awesome is that. Think back to when you were baptized when you came out of that water you became white as snow your slate was clean you were a new baby! Now since that day all you have to do is ask and it shall be gone... I hope this has opened or re-opened your eyes today.

God Bless

My New Car!

Well as most of you know and have seen the 1994 Toyota Corolla Lacy and I had was on it's last leg or wheel or do you say leg anyways whatever, it was going to die soon. This car has had a rough life. For starters and I am not talking about the starter that makes it start, it has 171,000 miles on it and makes a new sound everyday. Last year it was in the shepard mall parking lot and some guys threw a rock through the back passenger window, I fixed that myself... Then 2 months later the front passenger window stops working and in an attempt to fix that I broke the whole window electric thing and got mad and just drilled holes through some metal stuff inside and permantley fixed the window in the up postion FOR EVER! Oh and the passenger door handle inside broke but I fixed it with some bailing wire. When we moved to Pebble Creek the FIRST night we moved in we parked old blue in the street and woke up the following morning to find that someone hit the car and our back bumper was laying in the street. Yes I bent all the metal myself and put screwed and wired the bumber back on! I have a point to all this... This week the car wouldn't start so I jumped it and charged it, all is good... Until lacy tries to drive it the next day and it won't start again. Long story short I took it to Nathan's dealerhsip traded it in for a $1000.00 and purchased the car below....

Diaper fascination!

Ok Check it out... My little niece who has a serious diaper fascination came to see us today. We all went to Chucky Cheese Pizza. My niece literally carries around real diapers, wipes, and other baby items for her dolls and teddy bears. She is always on the prowl for unused diapers! If you have been to Chucky Cheese Pizza you know about the stage show. The girl in the middle of the show is wearing a skirt, Well... was wearing a skirt. As you see from the pics below my niece tries to raise the skirt to see if she is wearing a diaper, the skirt falls off and my sister and I are wrapped around this nude show girl (fake chucky cheese show girl) trying to redress her. Take a look below to see this embarrassment!
