What's happening?

Friday night, I hit the town with my two sweet aunts and cousin, Anna. We headed downtown to the Civic Center to see Billy Currington live. His show was great and it helps when they have a lot of hit songs. Anyway, he's on tour with Kenny Chesney next, do you think they'll come back to Dothan?

God is Great, Beer is Good and People are Crazy!

Cindy and Jan- Thanks bunches!

Now, remember that art contest that Lydia entered a couple of weeks ago at Bellamia? She won her age division and we are super excited about the prize.  (one year family membership to Landmark Park) Yeah for Lydia!

Now this little mess is on art restriction. Not really, but she can't be trusted with the markers. She was covered in red marker and this picture was after I did some scrubbing. You should have seen her legs and she had on pants. :) Lydia told me that it was a very bad idea.

We are heading to Birmingham on Friday to learn about these little boogers. I will give you a report when we return. I've got a little bit of anxiety about the whole thing. I know it will be much better, but the thought of starting from scratch, makes me tired.

I'm thinking the pink one has Lydia's name all over it. :)

Gotta go straighten up!  Grandmother is flying into town this evening and I have two excited little girls.

Melting My Heart

How stinkin' cute and sweet is this! They had a lemonade stand to help raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in Lydia's honor. I had no idea, until I did a drive-by on Sunday and saw them. One of their signs read: Cure Diabetes! It totally melted my heart and still does....

The Mann Boys and Bullard Girls

This lemonade stand was on Saturday and from what I understand, they sold out and had to make more. I just hate that I didn't make it by to have a cup because I heard it was delicious.

The Glasses! Aren't they precious. Thank you girls!

Olivia, Lydia loves her picture!

Every day, I am so thankful for all the love and support we have received during this entire journey.  It has been truly amazing and God is so good. We set a goal of 3,000 for the Walk and raised over $5,500 in Lydia's honor. We sold T-shirts to help fund the much-needed insulin pump for our sweet girl and we sold 375 tees and raised enough money to purchase a $6,700 insulin pump. We love and appreciate you all and the three pictures above are just a small sample of the generousity we have received! We are SO thankful for each and everyone of you!



Rainy Day...

The weekend was great, family in town and lots of "Team Lydia" excitement. The weather wasn't too good on Saturday morning, but it held off enough for us to finish the three mile walk in Lydia's honor.  A lot of sweet friends and family joined us and it was a special time.

Owen Thompson, Lilly Bowers, Claire Coffman, Lydia, Dantz, Anna Clare Thompson, Olivia Glass, Riggs Hickey, Elizabeth McClendon and Mac Adkinson

Will has been working out of town a lot lately. We haven't talked much since he left Monday at three am, but we are all missing him. Lydia had a painful accident yesterday and she cried and cried for her daddy for at least 45 minutes. He has been in meetings all week,  so I sent a text asking him to please call when he took a break. He happened to call while we were in the car and I gave Lydia the cell phone. I kept glancing in the rear view mirror at her talking to her daddy. At first I thought, when did she get big enough to actually have a telephone conversation. Then I thought, it was one of the sweetest things that I have ever seen. We will see you tonight, Daddy!  

The girls are ready for a bedtime story from Daddy.

I've been helping my sweet niece, Emma get ready for 7th grade cheerleader tryouts. For those of you that have cheered, you know it's a really big deal. She has been practicing hard and I sure hope her hard work pays off.  The big day was today, but they have been postponed until tomorrow afternoon. Boo! :) Go Emma, you can do it! (of course this isn't a recent pic)

This weather is making me lazy. Will is the early bird, so when he's away, I have to get up with this early bird. This is another old picture and boy, has she grown since it was taken. My little baby will be two in less-than a month. Wow, I can't even believe it.

I have rambled enough and the girls are asking me for a "dance party", so I best go. (This weather doesn't appear to make them lazy) Stay Dry Friends!

Sneak Peek!

Be Back Soon with more details!! 

Don't ya want to ....

Happy Birthday Papa D!!



T-shirts are here!

Curbside Pick-up is Thursday Afternoon in my front yard. 3:30 until 5:30. If you can't make it then, we will make other arrangements. (Those of you that I'll see before Thursday afternoon, I'll have tees with me)

They look even better in person! (one slight error, the left pocket design ended up being front and center, but they look great) Thank you all again!
