Happy Father's Day

I am blessed to have a very good father. He has always been so good to do anything to help me and my family. I remember a lot of fun times with him. He likes to be silly and make us laugh. We would want him to tickle us but we squealed and laughed until we cried when he did. He has been such a gift to our family. He makes my mom happy, he works incredibly hard, he loves and serves people and he loves and serves the Lord. He is a great example of how I want Seth to be one day. Our lives changed when he came and I hope that he knows of my love for him.

Throughout my life I have been blessed with many people who I like to recognize on Father's Day. My dad George, My step-dad Darrin, Milton Kinne who was always papa to my kids...I hope that I have been able to make them proud. They are amazing people and I wish them all a VERY HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Katie in "Grease", Rachel practicing flute, Seth's new lego set

This video is of Katie playing Miss Lynch the teacher

in her school's production "Grease" The play was great!

Please excuse the video taping skills. I kind of had to sneak and do it..

This video is of Rachel practicing her flute for her chair test.

I don't know where they get their talents. I'm always amazed to hear her.

This video is of Seth's new Atlantis lego set. He is big into Atlantis

right now. He always asks me if I think it's real. He has become very

good at putting the sets together. It doesn't take him long at all. Now if

I could get him to keep the pieces off of the floor we would really have something. lol

Ashley- the definition of beautiful

My sister Ashley is the definition of beauty. She has always been a wonderful sister. She is very supportive and loving. She is forgiving to the point of amazement. I wish I had the spirituality she has. Ashley is a great mom. She is very beautiful on the inside and out. I have to say that she is probably the best person I know. We had our arguments as children, but as we have grown up she has become one of my very best friends.

Today is Ashley's birthday! We all love her and wish her a happy birthday and a wonderful Mother's Day. Happy Birthday Beautiful!

My wonderful mother makes a blog post for everyone on their special days, and I think she deserves one too.My mom has been my best friend for my whole life and I love her more than words can say. She is beautiful,smart, and everything I hope to be when I'm older(:



She has always put others before herself, which is just one of the amazing qualities that I admire about her. She is nice to everyone she meets and will always greet you with a smile. She will give everyone a chance to be her friend, which is why she has so many of them I assume(:

Well, I just want to say that I love my mom so much and want to wish her a very happy mothers' day!!(: She is my role model and my best friend for life. She is exceptionally strong, open-minded, quick-witted, gorgeously elegant, and over all a joy to be around!(: I LOVE YOU MOM!<3
forever & always,
Rachel Renae Hammons
P.S.-Beat that suckas!(: just kidding haha.

"'Dorable" Maclane's Birthday

Maclane is one of my favorite people! She makes me laugh all the time. I love to get to see her and play with her. Her birthday is April 11th. She will be 3.Maclane loves animals, all kinds. She is very smart and can remember everything! She was playing on her horsie at Ria's house.
Maclane was playing with Jasmine at Ria's. She told us that Jasmine was her 3rd best friend.

Here, Ashley, Skyler, and Maclane were posing for pictures right after Maclane's baby blessing.

Of course, being her favorite aunt, I had to include a picture of Adam and I with her. She is like a celebrity in our house. I always smile when I think about her. We are so blessed to have her in our family! She is "dorable!"

Happy Birthday Maclane! I love you!

My Daddy is My Favorite Pal

I am blessed to have 2 Dads. My dad George, who died when I was 6; and my step-dad, Darrin who married my mom and raised us. My dad George is one of my favorite people to think about. Today would have been his birthday. What a beautiful day to remember him on. The weather is perfect!
I was young when he died, but I remember him vividly. He loved me with a love that I can't describe. He took me to work with him and nailed my shirt to the roof when he was roofing. He was a carpenter. I remember a lot of things about him, and certain things always bring back memories. If I hear the song "Mountain Music" by Alabama, I can't help but think of him.

I truly hope I have made him proud. I know he watches over me and smiles. One day I'm sure I will see him in heaven. Maybe we will go fishing...
Happy Birthday!

Random Pictures

I haven't been as good about taking pictures as I should be, but I thought I would post some of the ones I took this past year or so. This one is Rachel, Maclane, and Katie.
Rachel and Maclane playing at Ria's house in the pool. Too much fun!

Will brought Seth this Mask when he came to visit. Seth loves it! He looks tough, right? :)

Here is Katie the lady. She has probably changed the most over the past year. Katie, Rachel, and I are all able to share clothes and stuff. It's kind of fun... until I can't find my stuff.

Rachel needed a good Facebook picture. She's always cute. That's all I can fit for now. Hopefully this year I can do better about taking more pictures. My mom always said that pictures are the only way to stop time. Everyone is growing up so fast that if I blink too long I miss something. lol.
