Music Monday - In memory of Colt

Colt Bryson Turner
BORN: Sunday January 20, 2008
DIED: Friday April 23, 2010

A dear friend of ours, Tracey, lost her sweet little boy, Colt, on Friday. He drowned in the pool in their backyard. It is such a tragic loss!

So, today's song is dedicated to Colt. This is for you baby boy:

When I Get Where I'm Going by Brad Paisley (Feat. Dolly Parton)

When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain


(Chorus:)
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.

(Chorus)

So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.

What's for dinner? (4/19/10)

Tonight I made a super easy beef stew. (this was my first beef stew!)

Here is what I put in it:

Stew meat
1 can of green beans
1 can of corn
1 can of carrots
1 can of sweet peas
1 can of Rotel
2 cans tomato sauce (as instructed by Nanny)

(YES, I love this kind of cooking! The easier, the better! LOL!)

I cooked the stew meat in a skillet and then threw it in a large pot with all of the cans of veggies and sauces and let it get hot.

Now, I thought it was great...Kyleigh did not care for it. She said that she would be willing to try it again as long as I didn't put the tomato sauce in it next time. I kind of like the tomato sauce, but if she will try it again, I will exclude it.

What I am most happy about is that I made enough for dinner tomorrow night and I can take some for lunch tomorrow!

Music Monday

Wake Up Call by Maroon 5

I didn't hear what you were saying
I live on raw emotion, baby
I answer questions, never maybe
And I'm not kind if you betray me
So who the hell are you to save me?
I never would've made it, babe

If you needed love, well then ask for love
Could've given love, now I'm taking love
And it's not my fault, cause you both deserve
What's coming now, so don't say a word

Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me? I don't think so
Six foot tall, came without a warning
So I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here, I don't think so

I would've bled to make you happy
You didn't need to treat me that way
And now you've beat me at my own, game
And now I found you sleeping sound
And now your lover is screaming loudly
I hear a sound and hit the ground

If you needed love, well then ask for love
Could've given love, now I'm taking love
And it's not my fault, cause you both deserve
What's coming now, so don't say a word

Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me? I don't think so
Six foot tall, came without a warning
So I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here, I don't feel so bad
I don't feel so bad
I don't feel so bad

I'm so sorry, darling
Did I do the wrong thing?
Oh, what was I thinking?
Is his heart still beating?

Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me? I don't think so
Six foot tall, came without a warning
So I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here, I don't feel so bad

Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me? I don't think so Six foot tall, came without a warning
So I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
No, he won't come around here
I don't feel so bad
Don't feel so bad I don't feel so bad
Don't feel so bad I don't feel so bad

Easter 2010 - The kids hunting for eggs

The kids had a great time hunting for eggs! We were going to have to hunt for the eggs in the house because it started raining. Fourtunately, it didn't last long and was very light, so the ground was not bad.
