Just stuff…

Filed under: Random Thoughts, A Day In the Life — Christie Jarvis @ 6:44 am

I finally…yes finally finished our taxes. It really wasn’t that hard it was just time consuming because of all of the receipts that we had from our home based businesses. Having those businesses REALLY help us out though!

Today the kids and I are going to the movies with Heidi and her girls. We are going to see Horton :) How fun! Tonight I am going to scrapbook. I need to really catch my albums up! I can’t wait till April 19th when we have National Scrapbook Day at our church! I will have LOTS of time to catch up that day.

This Sunday is William’s birthday. He will be 35! I have ordered his cake from Mrs. Mary, the Millington “Cake Lady”. He loves her cakes! We were planning on going to Red Robin for lunch after church but I think now we are just going to come home and have lunch and chill out around the house.

I guess that is all for now. I will let ya know how the movie was.

Barefoot in the Park

Filed under: A Day In the Life — Christie Jarvis @ 7:25 am

Last night, We went with some friends to see Barefoot in the Park at the Ruffin Theater in Covington. Jeff and Lisa H rode with us and Samantha A met us there. Before the play started, I was pleasantly surprised to see my Aunt Judith walk in too!
The play was great! I laughed enough to last me awhile…LOL If you have never seen Barefoot in the Park, you should find it playing in your area or rent it on video. It is a hilarious view of newlywed life. It helped me to remember when William and I first met….our first apartment…and whoa baby, how things have changed over the years!
I still love him as much as I did when we got married 14 years ago….actually, I love him more. He may not walk barefoot in the park with me, but he will put on his khakis and go see a play about it! Gotta love that!

William SHOT 5 Deer at 1 time!

Filed under: A Day In the Life — Christie Jarvis @ 8:37 am

Not with a gun but with the camera!  He captured these pictures last night of deer grazing in the field behind our house.  This is why we named our homeschool “Deerfield Academy”.  Aren’t they beautiful?!

 

 

Raleigh Assembly of God’s Palm Sunday Celebration

Filed under: A Day In the Life — Christie Jarvis @ 8:30 am

Every year, our church has a HUGE Palm Sunday Celebration.  There is always a special children’s service.  This year, they did “Sunday School Musical” based on High School Musical.  The kids LOVED it! There were over 325 in the K-6th grade area alone! We “hid” 35,000 eggs in the field, had moon bounces, face painting, snow cones, hot dogs and more.

In my Sunday School class (5th & 6th grade girls), there were 30!  Here is a picture of some of the girls during our lesson time.

This is our children’s pastor, Troy Powell, way up above the Easter eggs to give the GO for the kids to start collecting their candy filled eggs.

 

Here are pictures of my youngest son and my cousin who filled their baskets quickly!

It was a wonderful day! It is always a blessing to see happy children.  I can’t see what is in store for next year! God uses this awesome day of ministry to reach SOOO many families through the fun activities for the children.  I feel honored to be a part of the children’s ministry team at Raleigh Assembly!

All Dressed Up!

Filed under: Uncategorized, A Day In the Life — Christie Jarvis @ 9:32 am

William and I went to the Junior Auxiliary of Covington-Tipton County Charity Ball Saturday Night.  The JA raises money to help the children of Tipton County and the Charity Ball is our biggest fundraiser. I really love being a part of JA!

It was nice to dress up and go out with my honey for awhile.  Here is a picture of us all dressed up :) I am sorry that it is so small…it was taken with my mobile.

Snow Angel

Our dog, Angel, LOVES to play with the basketball.  She will chase it all over the house and yard.  Today she had fun chasing it in the snow.  Enjoy the video!

Snow!

Filed under: A Day In the Life — Christie Jarvis @ 7:55 pm

We finally have the winter we wanted! It is snowing and it looks so pretty. I would post pictures but I am actually laying very comfortably on my couch and don’t want to get up and go to the computer to upload them. Lazy??? Yeah sure…guilty!
William has a nice fire going and I am just enjoying it. I was laying my head in his lap while we were watching TV but he got up to go get himself some cookies to go with his hot cocoa. Yummy!
The kids and I went to our “First Friday Funday” at the church today and we celebrated Dr. Suess’ birthday, St. Patrick’s Day & Easter…it was fun!

 We got home around 3 and the kids played in the snow from that time till around 6:00.

Here are the pictures:

Winter Weather??

Filed under: Random Thoughts — Christie Jarvis @ 1:48 pm

Here we are again….another Tuesday and I am sitting in my van waiting for the kids to be done with their piano lessons.
It is cold and little snow showers keep coming through….nothing much to it though. I really would love to have one good snow this year. It has been cold enough a few times but we haven’t had any good winter weather yet.
We are thinking about going camping this weekend. William said that if it is too cold he doesn’t want to go. He is not working this weekend though. He has been working so much that he hasn’t been home much and he is exhausted so he wants to take some time for himself. It was nice to have him home last night. He is planning on taking his little princess to see the Hannah Montana Concert movie tonight. He is such a good daddy :) He told her this morning that if she didn’t get her school work done or if she had a bad attitude today then he would not take her so she has been on the ball today.
Well, that is all for now. I will post more later.
