Boys


Davidisms


Today David was being a little wild man during school--;) I don't really know how Mama got anything done with him..! So I came in and sat down at the table with them, and asked him, "David, do you know what you are???" ( I was going to say crazy!)

He looked up with a very cheesy grin and answered, "Clever!"


*sigh* What a crazy family I have. I love 'em to pieces:)

Jeff and Sheri Easter
*Praise His name*

When you're up against a wall
And your mountain seems so tall
And you realize that life's not always fair
You can run away and hide
Let the old man decide
Or you can change your circumstances with a prayer

(chorus)
When everything falls apart
Praise His name
When you have a broken heart
Raise your hands and say
Lord, You're all I need
You're everything to me
And He'll take the pain away

When it seems you're all alone, praise His name
When you have a broken heart, just raise your hands and say
Greater is He that is within me
And you can praise the hurt away
If you just praise His name

You can overcome
By the blood of the Lamb
And by the word of your testimony
You'll see the darkness go
And your faith begins to grow
You're not alone so how can you be lonely


(chorus)

AMAZING random fact!!

Did you know that it is impossible to hum with your nose plugged???

Josh and I tried it!! IT'S TRUE!!!!!
You should try it too. Tell your family. Tell your freinds. It's very entertaining.

It's a beautiful day outside today, so I'm gonna go out on the four wheeler for about an hour here in a bit. If you were here, you could join me! *sigh* But I guess I will just have to go by myself.

Wal - Mart


Ah..Wal-Mart. The ever reliable Wal-Mart. Aren't you so glad you can pop in the car, and be sure you will find what you need--at Wal-Mart??!! So nice.
I especially appreciate the self check-outs. The lady in the computer is always so friendly.."Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart." I just find myself having to say, "Oh, you sweetie, you are soo welcome!!!" Of course it does get extremely annoying when she won't leave you alone about "bagging the item." Even though, of course , you have bagged the item and she was just not paying attention.
And then there is the frustration of going to find your needed peanut butter in its isle, and finding that all of the peanut butter has been moved to isle 4, right next to the salsa of all things! And once you reach that isle, you find that all of its contents have been moved to isle 7. Once you get to isle 7 you have a terrible time finding the peanut butter because the salsa it was supposed to be next to, is no longer sold at Wal-Mart.
Who can identify with me here??!!!
Ah but other than these little put downs, Wal-Mart is always there for you. Just so long as you remain patient with the Miss in the computer, and don't mind searching 30 minutes for what you should have been able to find in 2.
Ah Wal-Mart. The ever reliable Wal-Mart.

Mm..I love how the weather is right now. Tonight we are setting up the volley ball net! And we're havin a game after supper. Yes--I love Spring!!!!
Maybe I can get some pictures tonight to post on here...cause today I'm afraid I'm just fresh outa pictures. Not to worry, I have my camera charging for anything we do this week. I might snatch a picture of you, so watch out!!
Have a wonderful day, and go outside if you get the chance. It's gorgeous out there!! I think I'll go grab the four wheeler for a bit right now..
God bless!

megz
Wow. I just got on here and signed in, and saw on the dashboard that there are 559 posts on this blog! Hmm..that's a lot. So I took a couple minutes to look back through all the posts.
Anyway, I thought that was kind of interesting, that many posts, that is. So there you go, that's all. Just thought I'd let you all share in my delight for the day.

Chris Miller stayed at our house that week, so he got to join the party:) Here he was helping Johnny find the Easter eggs!!
