Tom & I chaperoned again. It was a pretty fun night trying to keep the "lil' Romeo's & Juliet's" from kissing. OMG the hormones these kids have.</div><div></div><div>The end of the evening brought tears for many...a few of the kids are moving away.

April flew by. Actually the last 4 months have went pretty quick.<br />Summer is upon us. What kind of plans do you have?<br /><br />I think we are going to play it by ear. We do have a couple of small 3 day week-end trips planned. In August there is a Swafford Reunion that we are going to try to make. They have it every year at the "Swafford Chapel" in Tenn. As long as your last name is Swafford you are invited. So it ought to be interesting and fun.<br /><br />I'm hoping we will get a few out of state 4 wheeling trips in. I've really missed riding.<br /><br />This month is going to be hectic. Josie's cheerleading practices start today. They have 2 practices at the school and then every Thursday evening they are at Dynamite Gymnastic's. She just loves it there. Ken Davis is her coach and she loves him. He is a very encouraging person. (Did you see the piece on the news?)<br /><br />Josie's 8th grade trip to Six Flags is the 22nd, last day of school on the 23rd, then 24th is her 8th grade Graduation & Dance. Then she leaves for Washington DC on the 31st. I really don't remember being so busy at that age, but I was more of a "tom-boy". LOL<br /><br />Let me know what fun stuff you have planned for your family this summer.Leeshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16061935043133936004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36116470.post-51325238761654088952007-04-27T17:25:00.000-06:002007-04-30T15:02:29.994-06:00I'm BACK! It's been a long time since I posted, but I'm promising to keep my blog up-to-date!<br /><br />I will talk a little bit about what's been up around here...<br /><br />On Feb. 24th our friends, Jack & Sue celebrated their 1 yr. Wedding Anniversary. That was a fun time!<br />Also in Feb. we had Josie's Freshman Orientation. WOW! Where does the time go. Our baby is going to be in High School.<br />Josie finished up her Volleyball season. I believe they only won one game, but they really were looking great as a team @ the end. :(<br /><br />In March Ashlee (Tommy's EX-girlfriend) called and told me she was pregnant (BY HER NEW BOYFRIEND). At first she was worried but now we are all happy. I have been taking pics of how big her belly is getting I will do a post with those pics. She is due October 4th.<br /><br />Also my daycare mom, Kelly (Chase & Maddie's mom) is prego. She is due October 7th. So it looks like I will having a "set" of babies in December. WOW! I am excited though.<br /><br />On March 16th Tom and I went to Tenn. for the tax sale. We were able to bid on the 12th acre that we have. It's a long story, but we got it! We now own 12 acres...wahooo!<br /><br />On March 21st Tom cut his face at work. He was working with a pry bar and it slipped and hit his cheek. I'll have to post a pic of it later. It's healing still. I think we are going to see a plastic surgeon.<br /><br />March 17th Tommy's Band "EMPIRE" played at Block's in Decatur. They did awesome and the crowd loved them!<br /><br />On March 27th my lil' one, Grace started crawling. She is such a peanut and just couldn't figure out how to make everything work. Too cute!<br /><br />Also in March Josie tried out for Cheerleading (High School). SHE MADE IT! But she is the only 8th grader that made it, so that means she will be the only Freshman on the squad with all older girls. Oh my I will be gray before she is out of HS.<br /><br />Tom, Josie, & I went to Alabama for the Easter week-end. I had Friday & Monday off. It was a really different Easter. Normally I cook a ham, turkey, noodles, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, corn, deviled eggs, veggie tray, & desserts. (Man that's making me hungry) My parents and whomever else wants to come, come to feast. This year we were at Tom's Uncle's new house, on his pond & we had Mr. D's (like a Long John Silver's). It was very relaxing not having to cook. And I loved being with Tom's family. After the same thing for 10 plus years its hard to break out of the routine.<br /><br />On April 12th Tom & I celebrated our 21st Wedding Anniversary. We had dinner @ our fav. Mex. place El Corral on the actual day (just us) and then Friday night 20 of our friends joined us @ (of course) El Corral. We had a great time. Sad thing is I didn't have my camera with me :(<br /><br />Oh and the most exciting thing this month is.......(drum roll) My husband quit his job. Yep you heard me right on April 5th Tom quit quit his job after 20 years. It's a very long story and WE both are very happy about the decision. I think because it just happened and it wasn't planned made it easier not to look back and doubt. Tom can now find something that he really wants to do. I'm just grateful that we are at a place in our lives that this is an option for him.<br /><br />Well there you have it! Today is April 30th. So starting May 1st I pledge to all my fellow blogger's to post, post, post. (After reading all this you might say you aren't coming back) LOL<br />Hope you are keeping cool today.

Everyone is getting back to work. Just going a little slower. After have a 6 day week-end...Josie was not wanting to go to school today. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We went to dinner last night and the roads are still very snowy and slick. Yesterday I had no kids and Tom stayed home. We had so much fun riding the 4-wheeler's. Josie went with us too. She thought it was a blast!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>You can see our tracks in the backyard. Tom & Josie went flying straight through this huge drift. Well they got stuck. Tom had to hook his wench to a tree and pull it out. We rode almost all day. There wasn't a lot of people on the roads so we got to ride everywhere.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I took a few pictures of all the mounds of snow we have from plowing the driveway. We are going to have snow until April! It's really hard and crunchy today. It's so cold today also.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I'm glad we are all back to normal. Now we are waiting for the next round.

This is the name of my son Tommy's band. I think they have been together for a little over a year. The last few months Empire has began to play at different places in the area. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>They have played in Assumption at the Naughty Pine and the Nite Owl. The Nite Owl in Macon. In Decatur at Wake the Dead and Rendezvous.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Empire will be playing tonight and tomorrow night again at Nite Owl in Assumption and the Nite Owl in Macon. On March 17th they have a show at Block's in Decatur. I'm really excited for them.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Tommy started admiring the drums at a very early age. It was a natrual thing for him. He use to play the buckets in the back yard before he got a drum set at the age of 3. He was always a performer. He also was intrigued by the gutiar, but never persued it as much as the drums.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Tommy started band in 5th grade and played through his Senior year. Was allowed to take his drum set to the school to play at different events. He played for different churches in the area. Tommy never cared where or what he played, he just wanted to play.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>One amazing thing about Tommy is that he doesn't read music. (very little in school) Tommy can hear something once and then play it. His band teacher, I think, would get frustrated with him. But he also admired Tommy's love for his skill and always worked with Tommy and allowed him to add his flare to the songs.</div><div> </div><div>I am so proud of Tommy and I know his Dad is very proud also. We are 110% behind him in whatever he decides to do with his talent. He has something special and we have been told by a lot of totally different people. From the Music Professor at Milikin to local band members that have been playing longer that Tommy has been alive. </div><div> </div><div>I've posted a few pics. of now and his band Empire. They have a MySpace page that has sample's of their songs and a list of where they are playing. Try to go catch a show sometime and hopefully we can say, "I remember them when..."</div><div> </div><div>Love you very much Tommy!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Leeshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16061935043133936004noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36116470.post-35062992319964541862007-02-05T11:39:00.000-06:002007-02-05T13:17:30.934-06:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBy5473NS3f3HmiKlvve3c2l8-HuRRAUbT5DIr3zpGzZpqNHBjwulSjuPo9g5ZuIDeI-_74JwTq0Oxm_xQmDTurFYIZyKIn_hS7B24JnqO_Zj9MKj-BgbGBvLKoflN_OjZS7wH/s1600-h/Sue's+Bday+039.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028129819646181410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBy5473NS3f3HmiKlvve3c2l8-HuRRAUbT5DIr3zpGzZpqNHBjwulSjuPo9g5ZuIDeI-_74JwTq0Oxm_xQmDTurFYIZyKIn_hS7B24JnqO_Zj9MKj-BgbGBvLKoflN_OjZS7wH/s200/Sue's+Bday+039.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipib9wXaQuhay9qUs9M60Ud_eZFr8oyS-dy-QmDAYNXwgMha9JekW_9jPwbb9kjAFnIGxVA7tvMw_bBEocpZOuMAqOrmTef4neK6kh3a_lSdKNb4U-JsuEIbxV1UBVJcgOC0UA/s1600-h/Sue's+Bday+037.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028129828236116018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipib9wXaQuhay9qUs9M60Ud_eZFr8oyS-dy-QmDAYNXwgMha9JekW_9jPwbb9kjAFnIGxVA7tvMw_bBEocpZOuMAqOrmTef4neK6kh3a_lSdKNb4U-JsuEIbxV1UBVJcgOC0UA/s200/Sue's+Bday+037.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVLGxSeMiHvdn0-gBq3pOv4IxQfcp87xI8AaMEWvWsbiZVLj4pCMUWK-GVIZKBbP_IUp6pF6AVeWV5Pr5kzH-ajYt9gsHOeZ9HqzRyjq_1zMRiMVt-55yAgh64EIbf8CNAk8mu/s1600-h/Sue's+Bday+018.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028129832531083330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVLGxSeMiHvdn0-gBq3pOv4IxQfcp87xI8AaMEWvWsbiZVLj4pCMUWK-GVIZKBbP_IUp6pF6AVeWV5Pr5kzH-ajYt9gsHOeZ9HqzRyjq_1zMRiMVt-55yAgh64EIbf8CNAk8mu/s200/Sue's+Bday+018.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiORUXSNZxPLxGLSFrG9B3r1qqo5WJEePIN_gnzYojbaqkgZeIq7HV8Mvrm8YsqD9BpufG6REX8DK5wUo4JTisG9FklaKnaTonDw99V_UA4v3-eOPNTqpysSmyi-sSwkt9xWRQi/s1600-h/Sue's+Bday+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028129836826050642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiORUXSNZxPLxGLSFrG9B3r1qqo5WJEePIN_gnzYojbaqkgZeIq7HV8Mvrm8YsqD9BpufG6REX8DK5wUo4JTisG9FklaKnaTonDw99V_UA4v3-eOPNTqpysSmyi-sSwkt9xWRQi/s200/Sue's+Bday+012.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkO13XaYWpQ03WCCgMB_vLEMxi_3eEFOMH-4rIO5CI8ng3ctQIh7YmlBDvAOpXcqa56TJoiK7ya7G0r-qjLaHltkZBZAZIWE90NuI5c9PkPx210vqH2CrUyvg6II_FOjBs0Z2F/s1600-h/Sue's+Bday+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5028129841121017954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkO13XaYWpQ03WCCgMB_vLEMxi_3eEFOMH-4rIO5CI8ng3ctQIh7YmlBDvAOpXcqa56TJoiK7ya7G0r-qjLaHltkZBZAZIWE90NuI5c9PkPx210vqH2CrUyvg6II_FOjBs0Z2F/s200/Sue's+Bday+003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center">Sue's Birthday Party</div><br /><div align="center">Saturday, January 13th, 2007</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">I wanted to share some pics. of my friend Sue's birthday party. Her husband, Jack, had to work all day so I got to plan and decorate! It was kind of a "surprise" cause Sue didn't know what to except when she arrived.</div><br /><div align="center">Of course we had the party at El Caporal, all of our favorite place to eat, drink, and be! You can find us there every Friday night!</div><br /><div align="center">It's weird how Sue and I met. See we are both from Vandalia. Grew up there, graduated High School there, and yet somehow we both end up in Argenta-Oreana. I went to High School with her little sister, Amy and my brother dated her cousin, Alisha. Their family owned Bone Brother's Milk Company. (Don't really know if that is the exact time.) It wasn't to far from my house and I went there a lot when I would walk to different friends houses. They had the big silver semi's full of milk. LOL</div><br /><div align="center">So one late El Caporal evening about 3 yrs. ago. (in May) There is a party going on in the smoking section. Tom and I heard the laughing all evening and then this guy walks by with a Sombre on his head and fried ice cream all over his face. He looked at Tom and I and said, "Don't ever have your birthday party here." It must of been "friends and first sight" cause we have been friends ever since. LOL Well needless to say before the evening was over Tom and I joined the party.</div><br /><div align="center">Before we did join Sue and Jack had a spat and she left for the evening. Ummmmmm, Jack was passed out on a bench, but the rest were still going strong. LOL Tom and I kept checking on Jack to make sure he was breathing. I'm sure he didn't feel well the next day.</div><br /><div align="center">Every Friday night after that evening Jack and Carl (Jack's friend) would always stop by our table and visit with us. Sometimes for a long while! Eventually, Sue started coming over. Most likely to check where the heck they were. Before we knew it we were just all sitting together having dinner. As Sue and I started talking we figured out we kinda knew each other from Vandalia. It is such a small world!!</div><br /><div align="center">Sue and I have become very good friends and I'm glad our paths crossed that night. Oh and Jack is ok too! LOL We have good times together and I'm sure there will be many more to come!!!</div>Leeshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16061935043133936004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36116470.post-38226762512371465642007-02-03T16:41:00.000-06:002007-02-03T17:08:59.917-06:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidRHqNejV3M77bQcCxLHXQqDJDEn5QSPU-Q8czAI169bqfIq-h_zTW2Ia1At7sUwIxvm7sxfgKU3Mv6L5DMep_fQ_RP6-ew-nqtoykrUkaZYFgmJQMrzY7qp9Gyow8VucGifeJ/s1600-h/Painting+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027448444559507394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidRHqNejV3M77bQcCxLHXQqDJDEn5QSPU-Q8czAI169bqfIq-h_zTW2Ia1At7sUwIxvm7sxfgKU3Mv6L5DMep_fQ_RP6-ew-nqtoykrUkaZYFgmJQMrzY7qp9Gyow8VucGifeJ/s200/Painting+004.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOurMb3hnyTZV0Ig-JbkDO_v4HHfWVzyncRd7ZVWRcqkD5ngcy_xYf8DpG2pbhF2EhU0Pw5dEXA1nU2bbGSOrAgLc9BYb-QcoK8WKjXHgp3Xriw0t5E37Mtt8tD9PjEMTeAsT/s1600-h/Painting+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027448448854474706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOurMb3hnyTZV0Ig-JbkDO_v4HHfWVzyncRd7ZVWRcqkD5ngcy_xYf8DpG2pbhF2EhU0Pw5dEXA1nU2bbGSOrAgLc9BYb-QcoK8WKjXHgp3Xriw0t5E37Mtt8tD9PjEMTeAsT/s200/Painting+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2BC3xozt67r8ZJEZQB9xr9OAgmw0AswfGy3TIrsgZFZry2tMO7BJdwdbm4qk-7p-PpG8TV4qT7XStbLwZWDyctLOKBo-kfBq303TYOuTlYPrFy05TnXM6tZ8w1zFO0PXGoRK1/s1600-h/puppies+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027448457444409314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2BC3xozt67r8ZJEZQB9xr9OAgmw0AswfGy3TIrsgZFZry2tMO7BJdwdbm4qk-7p-PpG8TV4qT7XStbLwZWDyctLOKBo-kfBq303TYOuTlYPrFy05TnXM6tZ8w1zFO0PXGoRK1/s200/puppies+005.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3239rsG-zqua3BITplJtUOBw41sse8uexr0OIuWxUbMmi_cN0NGHa6DG0tx6r4yCbA_-kKyKl1m8dsI-Cm2vqQJ8W-wKO2XKw8FEIh5DaSPBGVc-bNphi-ogTWOa_1X0RL9-Y/s1600-h/Painting+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027446172521807794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3239rsG-zqua3BITplJtUOBw41sse8uexr0OIuWxUbMmi_cN0NGHa6DG0tx6r4yCbA_-kKyKl1m8dsI-Cm2vqQJ8W-wKO2XKw8FEIh5DaSPBGVc-bNphi-ogTWOa_1X0RL9-Y/s200/Painting+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZULPxoF_xKU5UeSiNXCekSzamlpj6BJTQ1nXNYfQP-yKCo1OwZPb9OUxP2OG93E173E9I0wbSkzl8BN9fd1lFyuE4LyZetZtvD5OgRgIdi9CsRa66uLym1_MVeJDAaMYyBr1f/s1600-h/Painting+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027445601291157410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZULPxoF_xKU5UeSiNXCekSzamlpj6BJTQ1nXNYfQP-yKCo1OwZPb9OUxP2OG93E173E9I0wbSkzl8BN9fd1lFyuE4LyZetZtvD5OgRgIdi9CsRa66uLym1_MVeJDAaMYyBr1f/s320/Painting+003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#ff9900;">Today we went and helped paint Jack and Sue's house.

Tom, Josie, and I went to help paint and get it ready to sell.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">There is so much more to do, but what a difference a coat of paint makes. There was 10 of us working and we got a lot done in just a few hours. I only took a couple of pics. since I seem to be a messing painter. I had paint on my hands a lot. LOL</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">Oh and the best part are the puppies....Jack's terrier, Lisa had puppies. She had 4, but one got his new home yesterday. They are so adorable and Josie fell in love with them. They love to snuggle.</span></div></div></div>Leeshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16061935043133936004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36116470.post-41010398859663174852007-02-01T07:02:00.000-06:002007-02-01T07:31:41.973-06:00Another phone call this morning....<br /><br />I cannot believe all the sickness that is going around. For the last 2 weeks every morning there has been one or more of my mom's calling cause their little one is sick or they are sick. When is this ever going to end?<br /><br />Warrensburg middle School had 78 kids out yesterday. Argenta-Oreana had over 100 students/teachers out. Don't these schools disinfectant? I would gladly volunteer to send Lysol and hand sanitizer to the school.<br /><br />I have went through many cans of Lysol and you can't imagine how much Airborne my family has been taking. (I swear by this stuff. It really works!)<br /><br />So with finger's crossed I'm hoping that this is the last week, for a long while, of my little ones being ill. There is nothing worse than a sick child. I know all my little ones love me, but when you are sick you want mommy. I know I still want my mom sometimes. lol<br /><br />I hope everyone is drinking lots of water, taking their vitiams, & keeping their hands washed. Just some great advice from this mom.

I finally found my blog after I signed up over a week ago. I've been trying to post on Alexis blog and it worked once but after that I don't know what happened. So hopefully I will be able to continue this.<br />I really need to sit down (when I find some time) and check out all the frills. I love how you can post many pics. on each post.<br />OK I'm going to see if this works and I will be back soon with "My Life".Leeshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16061935043133936004noreply@blogger.com1
