Date Night.....NO, Water Balloon FIGHT!!


Water Balloon Fight #1!!

As you can see we are not wet....J's shoulder got a little wet!! (Sorry it's Blurry!!)
Water Balloon Fight #2!!

Jeremy was REALLY wet, you really can't tell in this pic!! He rubbed water on my face, so it would look like he got me wet!!
Tonight Jeremy decided to have a Water Balloon Fight at 11:00 p.m.!!
We really had a wonderful time at the spur of the moment. That is how we work, though. We don't have to spend a bunch of money to have a great time as long as we are together. Tonight meant more to me than a fancy dinner and a new purse. What matters to me is that we can have fun just being Kourt and J. I don't tell my husband enough that I love him more than anything. Without him I would not have my beautiful babies. He is an AMAZING Daddy and our babies adore him!! Thank you, J for being the best Husband and Daddy in the whole world. I love you more than you will ever know!! "When God Made You, He Must Have Been Thinking About ME!!"

The Park!!


Me and my babies!! I love them SO much!!

Hayden on the slide!!

Sweet Lady Bug!!

Hayden figured this out all on his own!!
We went to the park yesterday for a little bit. There is a new playground/park in Fultondale. The kids had a BLAST!!


Mommy and Lizzie Kate!!

Lizzie Kate was trying to "scale" the refrigerator, so I decided to help her and Jeremy grabbed the camera!! I thought it was cute!!

1st Annual Lorie Johnson Memorial Golf Tournament!!

Saturday, May 16, 2009 was the 1st Annual Lorie Johnson Memorial Golf Tournament at Highland Golf Course in Birmingham. As most of you know, I am the Secretary on The Board of Directors for The Lorie Johnson Foundation. We had a wonderful turnout. The picture is of all of the golfers and most of the volunteers. Of course that is Noah and Zach in the front with Daryl. I think Kimmie and I are the only ones not in the picture. We had food catered from Full Moon BBQ. This was a great way for everyone to show support and do some thing fun!! Thank you for all who came out to support us!! "Until there is a Cure, there will ALWAYS be a need!!"

Rub-A-Dub, Dub, Look Who Got In The TUB!!!


Well, tonight I gave the kids a bath and Lizzie Kate got out first. I got her dressed and sent her back in the bathroom to get her hair brushed. She had other ideas in mind. She obviously did not want to get out....so, she got back in FULLY CLOTHED!!! What was she thinking?? This is just typical Lizzie Kate behavior!! She is such a mess!!

Pictures!!


Where's Lizzie Kate??

BOO, there she IS!!

Hayden and B-Pa!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Mother's Day is such a special day for me. I remember when I was a child my Moma always looked forward to this day, and now I understand why. God has given me the two most precious children. I am so honored that he chose me to be Hayden and Lizzie Kate's Mommy. It is the best job in the whole world.

We went to see my Moma 2 (Carrie) and my Great Grandmommy. And then we spent the afternoon with my Moma. Thank you Moma for teaching me all of the things that you did and thank you for showing me that Jesus gave me my children as a gift. I wouldn't be here without you today. There is no better gift than a child.

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. I will post some pictures later.

Update!!

There is not really a lot to report. We have spent most of every day at my Grandmother's house with my Great Grandmommy and the rest of the Cotton family. Saturday, I went by myself, while Jeremy stayed at home with the kids. I spent all day over there. Sunday, we got up and all went. We spent a good bit of the day with everyone. Monday, Jeremy went to work and the kids and I went to the house and had lunch with everyone. Tara brought Cooper, so the kids had a wonderful time playing. Jeremy, the kids and I went to Belk to get him some thing new to wear to the funeral (he is a pallbearer). Today, I got up and went to meet my Moma. We went to see if I could find some thing new (I didn't). Then, we went to Logan's for lunch. Jeremy took off a half of day so we came home and got him and went to Grandmother's for a little while. The kids started getting tired so we came home and let them get a nap and we went back for supper. Tomorrow, is the funeral and we will be going back to Grandmother's to eat.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time for me and my family. I can't thank you enough.

We Love You, Grandmother!!

Tonight, I received heartbreaking news. My Grandmother, Hayden and Lizzie Kate's GG has gone to be with the Lord. I will never forget the look in my Daddy's eyes when he told me the news. You will be greatly missed, Grandmother. I will miss our late night talks!! We love you very much!!
