John Mark Karr

Incase you haven't heard DNA proves he DID NOT kill Jon Benet Ramsey. What are you thoughts on this man? Did you believe he did it? Who do you think killed JBR?

In the beginning (several years ago), I tried to read a book by one of the FBI agents that was on the job but had been kicked off. B/c of the who they were and the amount of $$$ I believe the police were too laxed(sp) on the case. I read where the family was not being watched closely enough during the first few hours, how they were off in different rooms talking to each other and so on. And how people were going in and out of the house constantly. Now I'm not saying her family had anything to do with her death but I wouldn't be surprised if they were behind it.

When this Karr guy appeared I was a little shocked... I was hoping the case was finally solved but something just didn't seem right. I really wasn't sure if he'd done it or not.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hey Buddy

This was taken on our way home from the beach. We had to pull off to give all the little ones a break.


 


Darcy calls her brothers Buddy. This started b/c Matthew comes home in the afternoons and picks them up one at a time and says "hey buddy" so now Darcy calls them buddy! 

Past Due

...for an update

sorry guys :) We're in our new house and we love it. Jessica has started back to school and all is well. Darcy's keeping me busy during the day (she's napping now) and the boys are growing!!!!

Here's a few things going on...
We're finally able to attend church again on a regular basis.

I'm not longer a late sleeper. We leave the house every morning by 6:45am inorder to beat traffic and get Jessica to school. We do not go back to bed after we get back.

We live 25 minutes from most of our family and friends but its long distance to call them :(

All of our cats disappeared but have slowly reappeared one at a time.

We had a snake in the yard the other day... not sure what kind it was small and too quick! We weren't able to find it so its still out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jessica has been accepted by a group of highschool girls (the Varisty Volleyball team) and this has made her very excited about school and volleyball.

Darcy repeats everything - BE CAREFUL!!! LOL

I turned 27 on the 13th of this month.

On a serious note Matthew called home from work the day before yesterday to tell me that one of his coworkers was found dead at the bottom of his ladder. No one knows what exactly happened. He was in his 30's, no kids and no wife. His funeral is tomorrow and they're all taking off work to be there.

Also, we just recently found out that Matthew's grandfather (his mom's dad) has cancer and doesn't have long to live. He undergoing major surgery in the morning and will actually have two doctors doing two different surgerys.

I have before pictures of the house but i'm going to wait to post them until I can get some nice after shots... it may be a while... this house is a work in progress.

I haven't been able to get on the internet much b/c AOL is ever so slow. I hope everyone is doing well.

Like Mother Like Daughter

Darcy loves to talk on the phone... in this picture she's talking to her daddy. On this particular day she would run from me when I'd try and get the phone back... she talked to him for about 30 minutes!!!!!!  

sleepy

This is actually not a very uncommon sight... they fall asleep in their bumbo's almost daily... sometimes with their heads back and sometimes leaning over. Jacob is catching some Z's in this picture. 

sassy

Her cheeks are a little red in this picture... she looks like a different child when she allows me to pull her hair back- LOL.

She was the first one in the pool and the last one out! She loved the pool but hated the beach(sand).

Aunt Amy's home!!!! The weekend she got back we all went out to eat together... this was her first time to see the boys. 

I'm Back!!!

I finally got my internet hooked up... But I'm on AOL dial up... sucks i know. The guy that installed my phone jack said that they're supposed to have DSL next month... can't wait!!

I have some pictures to upload but i'm not sure when i'll have time to do it.

Oh guess what???!!

Tommy Staggs is trying out for American Idol this weekend... keep him in your prayers!!! What an amazing opportunity!

delay

sorry its taken so long to update...

our computer room doesn't have a phone jack so I have to get the phone guy back out to our house... we can't find any internet service other than dial up... the DSL/Cable ones we have found are really really expensive.

Lisa is doing MUCH better. I was able to talk with her myself yesterday. She said she told the Lord that she wasn't ready to die and He'd just have to heal her.

Everything is great... we love our new home.

You are NOT going to believe this!

We are officially homeowners again!!!!!! Yesterday as soon as we got the word we drove down to our new home. We pulled into the driveway and guess what I saw???? One by one little critters came out from under my porch! CATS!!!!!!! There were a total of FOUR... a momma, 2 kittens and her pimp. I DON'T WANT ANY ANIMALS!!!! I just sat there in the car screaming as matthew laughed and Darcy wanted to chase them. So if anyone wants any cats just let me know... they're all yours!!!!! Also we noticed that the lady had left her grill and a rocker chair with a small plaque with hers and her hubby's name... but since their in the middle of a divorce I assumed she had no use for it. Its a really nice rocker and I'm sure it would be no problem to remove the little screws on the plaque.

Okay so moving along... we walk inside and she has gotten everything out for the most part... she didn't leave garbage all over the place but we did find things left behind. My main concern was that she clean the barn/garage before closing... as stated on the contract. Matthew and I opened the door and you wouldn't believe the amount of TRASH she'd left for us to take to the dump. I was furious!!!!! First of all I do NOT have a trailer or a truck big enough to get all that crap out of there... I mean boxes, bags and trash cans full of crap!!!!!! Second, I do not have the money or time to take it to the dump!!!!!

A little while later we were inside cleaning up when someone knocked on the door. There was a nice young man standing at my door... he had been asked to come by and get her grill and rocker for her but since he saw we were there he wanted to check to make sure it was okay first. I politely said "nope, i believe everything thats here is mine now. BUT if she wants to come and get her cats and all the trash she left behind then we might can work out a deal." The guy was just as polite and said he totally understood. So when he left we pulled the rocker and the grill inside and took pictures of EVERYTHING. I was so worried that she would come back IN MY HOUSE and take the stuff. But I've already been by there today and its all still there... cats, trash and all!!!!

No nap today - AGAIN!

I put Darcy down for her nap around 12:15. A little bit later I heard her crying but I was feeding a baby so I sent Jessica upstairs to lay with her. After I finished feeding Jacob I told Jessica to just bring her back downstairs b/c she was fighting her nap. Well as she was coming down the stairs Jessica says 'she's got something oily on her'... immediately i knew why she was crying... she had gotten ahold of our KY Warming Jelly - LOL!!! Her and Jessica are in the bathtub right now:)

Update on Lisa

I wish I had something good to tell you but its only gotten worse. Her father and brother came in from out of state to be with her. They had all the family there with her today. Her liver has shut down and her kidneys are trying to shut down. She's being kept sedated b/c she's not herself when she's not sedated. Please continue to pray for her and her family. God has already decided what's going to happen just pray that whatever happens that everyone can accept it.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

My dear friend, Lisa, is having some major health problems. Please stop right now and say a much needed prayer for her. Things you could pray about are her finances, her emotional, physical and spiritual well being. A little over 2 years ago she had gastric bypass surgery and she's had problems ever since from the surgery. What started out as an infection led to another thing which led to another thing and so forth. I cannot count the number of times she's been admitted into the hospital in the last 2 years. She's had several surgerys but like I said when one problem is solved another one comes up. She's not been able to have any stable income and her insurance SUCKS! She has regular bills along with medical bills that are overwhelming. She needs some major encouragment and prayer. Please lift her up.

Almost Doubled

Our new house has 2200 square feet!!!!!!! This doesn't include the detached garage (barn) with the unfinished loft upstairs! Our old house was around 1500sqf. I'm so ready to get in and settle down.
