Your Own Inner Light to Guide You


There comes a time when you must stand alone.You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own drAllow eams.You must be willing to make sacrifices.You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

The house is usually full of kids, noise, otter pops, trampoline jumping, and laughing.

Dance Party USA





So this week has been so fun! The kids have had a lot of fun activities. Our house is full of kids all day and we love it! Jocie and some of her friends wanted to audition for a dance team. So after we got the music and the dance we got straight to work. We moved out the furniture and turned the family room into a dance hall. Over and over again we listened to the same two songs. "This is My Now" and "Misses Glass". I couldn't get these songs out of my head. The girls asked me to "Boot Camp" them. We talked about everything from facial expressions to jazz hands. It made me think about all of the cheesey chearleader things from long ago. So the good news is they all made it. Jocie on the Diva Ellites, McKennah on the Encores and Taylor on the Divines. It was so fun to be the team mom for the week. I loved it!

4th of July














Every year we get together with friends and family and have our firework derby. It is a really fun time. Everyone makes cars with fireworks on them to see which car goes the furthest and the fastest. I think the men enjoy it because they can blow something up. So this year Sterling built his best car yest. This car had hundreds of fireworks on it. He spent time painting it, cutting, arranging, making it just right. He made one for Mason as well. It is so funny to see how excited these guys get. I did not get the "cool wife" award this year! We had previously bought tickets to the Stadium of Fire so I insisted since it is a family occasion that we go. So next year I owe Sterling big time. He can make a car as big as a tank. He sat through Miley Cyrus and the Blue Man Group. Good Man! When all was said and done I think the boys had a good time. We got a phone call that Mason's car took first place. He was so excited!So here are the pictures of Sterling and Mason building and constructing the coolest firework cars.

ok don't laugh



So as I was searching and I mean searching online for some pictures of these exciting places this is all I could come up with. Some dude on a bike riding through Muddy Gap. LOL! Also, I was wrong. Maybe I was on the other side of town because I didn't notice a stop light. Yes, Muddy Gap has a stop light. Don't get me wrong... I really enjoyed myself. It was great singing to the songs I actually wanted to listen to. Driving and just being alone. It was nice, but lonely. So this gives you a visual of the exciting town of Muddy Gap.
