Auction
What a shock to my body being out in the cold weather last night. It was down right nippy. We had our last fund raiser for the year and it actually turned out pretty good. We had a spaghetti supper and then an auction. I do not have the final tally yet, but I would say we raised close to $1200.00. Which was a great help. We are very close to meeting our goal. Here we come Orlando.....I can't wait.. I am very excited about being able to spend some quality time with some of the youth.
Who will give me $10.00, Now who will give me $11.00, could be heard from our Pastor. He done a great job. Maybe he has found his second calling.... We really did not have that much to auction off, but he has a gift of driving up the cost of what we did have. Hats off to your Pastor Hall.
I am totally exhausted and am ready to hit the sack. The youth really helped out tonight. Thanks to JaMichael, Adam R, Brandon H, Katelyn, Harley, & Jessie. These guys worked hard tonight and I was very impressed.
To Taylor, Lindsey, Tianna, Sara, Tara, Presley, Scottie & Zac- You guys are great too. I know you have already raised your money and it was pretty sweet for you guys to come out and support the others. James done a great job with the auction.... This is a really good fund raiser. Who would have thought....

Elfed!!!
At my place of employment we always donate toys for the "Toys for Tots" program. We have done this for the past 10 years. This year we decided to do something different. Instead of going out and purchasing the toys, we donated money. A total of $180.00. Each penny counted for 1 vote. We voted on whom we thought should be an elf for the day. The contestants were our upper management. The Director of Technology got the most votes. The idea was to vote for someone whom you would love to see in a ridiculous elf hat. The winner had to wear the hat all day, even when they left the office to eat lunch or meet with a customer or supplier.
Me being the sweet person I am, not to mention a team player- added to the excitement by dressing as an elf also. Didn't want John to look ridiculously stupid by himself. John (the elf) and I grew up together. His sister and I were best friends in high school. He is a very good friend of mine. It was nice sharing the day with him. We were stars(elves) for a day

New Arrival
Proud to say that I am an auntie again. We welcomed Harrison Bradey Cannon to the world today at 12:38 p.m.. He weighed 6 lbs and 13 ozs. 19 inches long!!! He was a few weeks early, but he is fine. His mommy had a few problems with her heath during the pregnancy. She had a problem with her blood pressure and her sugar during the pregnancy. They both were too high. Mommy and baby are doing just fine. His brother and sister have fell in love with him. I know they will be a great big help to mommy.
It is good to have a baby around.. We have not had one in a while.
Isn't he just beautiful!!! Welcome to the World- Harrison Bradey Cannon

20 YEARS OLD
Tomorrow is Erica's 20Th birthday. She is not a teenager anymore. Do you hear me complaining? Not!!!! But she has been a good child. I have been very blessed to have had a wonderful daughter as Erica. I hope and pray God is not disappointed in the way that Randy and I raised her. He gave her to us and I hope we have showed her the love of Christ. We have taught her to lean on God, to seeks God's guidance for her life's choices.
I could tell you some wonderful stories about Erica. When she was a little tot she played with a Sun-drop (yes a 2- liter bottle) She named him Sunny. That was her baby. She had every baby doll on the market, but she choose to love Sunny. Oh, we can't forget about her first baby doll that she cherished. Her name was Ashley. She carried Ashley everywhere she went. In fact she looked like Ashley. Ashley had not hair and neither did Erica until she was about 3 years old. When we would go out, no matter if she had pink on from her head to her toes (no matter her ears were pierced) people would still say" He is so cute", uuurrrrgh. Me being a young mother, it made me so mad. I would give those people the evil eye and politely say" Her name is Erica", she is a GIRL" - and don't you forget it.
She got lots of attention from her Mema and Papa and Uncle Roger. They loved her so much. She did no wrong and she stil doesn't in Mema's eyes (or her daddy's as far as that goes) they had a huge part is raising Erica. Thank God for Grandmas. Erica loved to take off to her MeMa's when she didn't get her way at home. She was a very spoiled child and guess what, now Adam spoils her... Good luck with that one Adam
Erica was a good student in school until the boys came along. She loved hanging out with her friends from church. If she had a choice- she would have rather chilled out with the youth group over anything. She wanted all her school friends to meet her church friends. She was devoted to it.. They were probably the biggest influences in her life. They loved her and didn't mind her tagging along with them. Erica was at least 4 years younger than they were. Some were older than that. I am thankful she had them in her life. I'm thankful for the older girls that took the time to mentor her. Thank you Ashlee Williams Tolleson. She really looked up to Ashlee. Ashlee was a good role model and still is an important person in her life.
Erica is my first born. She is the apple of my eye. We don't get to spend to much time together now, due to the love of her life. She chooses to spend her free time with him. Which is alright by me. I was the same way...(lets face it, it happened to all of us) We are very proud of Erica. If she is just 1/2 as good of a wife as she has been a daughter Adam has gotten himself a jewel.
HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY ERICA- THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT DAUGHTER AND WONDERFUL PERSON. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU
