This week has been hard. Casey is in deep with football and it's rained so much, we haven't done much but sit in the house. Tonight is especially hard because we saw Casey this morning for 10 min. and that was it. It's midnight and he won't be home for another hour due to a game in Odessa. Long drives for our out of town games and so that means an all day event for him. The kids are missing him and so do I. They haven't slept good this week because of late nights waiting for Casey to come in, late getting up, late lunch, late dinner, you name it......it's not our norm. So, night time is like a game of musical beds. I think that's why it's been hard too. I tend to get blue when I've had little sleep and two kids to work with all day. The picture to my left popped up on my computer due to me pushing something I wasn't needing to. It's Jadyn in her evening attire here at home. She walked out in this the other night when Casey got home. I could hardly contain myself. She wears hats all the time but insists on them being backwards. Her favorite way to run around the house is without pants (She gets that from her Daddy) and then again insists on wearing Camden's shoes. That night it was his soccer shoes. She is really pretty prissy but then you turn for a minute and she is all out TomBoy. She is a trip! Between her and Camden, there is rarely a dull moment in DacusVille. Who can be blue when your kid is the funniest thing coming? Pray for our family and Jadyns evening wear. We have got to get that under control and soon.

August 9, 2008 - Spencer and Alyssa Ellison.
My cousin Spencer, just got married to a sweet girl, Alyssa Hawkins. It was a fun weekend in San Angelo, Texas. Casey, the kids and I, Mom and Dad, then Mike, Jenny and Baby Linde all attended the event. We are so excited for them and are glad that they will be living in Abilene. Nene, Jenni, and Jessica looked great. My kids love the girls and so when they walked in, both kids were "Ohhhh, Ahhh, Mom, Mom, it's Jenni, it's Jessi.....See, look, look......" It was great. Jenni helped with the rehearsal dinner and it was really great. She did a slide show and had great table designs for the dinner. The food was amazing and so was the company. When you can spend time with Uncle Charles (Uncle Charlos as my kids call him), it's always special. By the way, he looked very studly. Congrats Ellisons!
