The kids attend carnivals and then walk house to house to fill up their buckets. Each carnival offers something unique and fun. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>We first stop at my school carnival. I get to see our students doing good things for the kids of our community. Then we get to go to the church carnivals. We make a stop at our church carnival which is all outdoors and FUN. There were bounce houses, train rides and best of all a stage with music. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Trick or treating was fun and we go to go with the Jones family. Jamyson made sure that baby Kate got her candy each time.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>When we were done we went back home and handed out candy ourselves. Jamyson loves to see people and talk with them. When we ran out of candy he decided to get it out of his own bucket so we could stay out longer. Was this a trick to stall bedtime or a chance to meet more people? I am not sure but we had a blast!! Next year we may just sit outside and hand out the candy instead.</div></div></div></div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-16358958771463733182009-12-20T04:57:00.000-08:002009-12-20T05:05:21.658-08:00September 2009 The State Fair of Texas<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1plwp5WOLDIaxmh89BOA8xsCJmbYdS0WoQ1huW47iNNATQVi28vykpZvfEeUYSyDuRV_5429nSTChcy10cme-Q4cMAbYJBIGcLmGG5bcESoVRlUtwWXuFkEnoTUyfu3AKBq4Dt9AC/s1600-h/IMG_5078.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417303457289834306" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1plwp5WOLDIaxmh89BOA8xsCJmbYdS0WoQ1huW47iNNATQVi28vykpZvfEeUYSyDuRV_5429nSTChcy10cme-Q4cMAbYJBIGcLmGG5bcESoVRlUtwWXuFkEnoTUyfu3AKBq4Dt9AC/s320/IMG_5078.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMlWnEKKEiuYiGAmSgTRYbeetoVJWkQriLdkSovVP4j327xdQ1Aip6pgcj3Q9LdEPyPqY9uL_Y_LYFXPEk1xpNa4MPW3sUKyUg9-1GxnO4hfaB136zyQ0rSxEdJI0SiHxlN_lc8HF/s1600-h/IMG_5144.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417303450272243874" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMlWnEKKEiuYiGAmSgTRYbeetoVJWkQriLdkSovVP4j327xdQ1Aip6pgcj3Q9LdEPyPqY9uL_Y_LYFXPEk1xpNa4MPW3sUKyUg9-1GxnO4hfaB136zyQ0rSxEdJI0SiHxlN_lc8HF/s320/IMG_5144.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVG0sCNsvrv5IhBS-ZiOwF-qW-pwoZka8eTftcbRQ_1xI7Bc1eslcO3uhmqyR0NqmbPgfiMVpUrS9tEZakRea-2BjCSULQoUfVg4gX6KDF9Vu4RcbIa7HjBlJeCkeMlIa2wxEqdnQB/s1600-h/IMG_5104.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417303447479328130" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVG0sCNsvrv5IhBS-ZiOwF-qW-pwoZka8eTftcbRQ_1xI7Bc1eslcO3uhmqyR0NqmbPgfiMVpUrS9tEZakRea-2BjCSULQoUfVg4gX6KDF9Vu4RcbIa7HjBlJeCkeMlIa2wxEqdnQB/s320/IMG_5104.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKyIOFysIxfUUDf5wuiSS1NuEtWat0n54fsmCv277fMn4W3bha0qDgx3CwjdznwZGbXcxhYWmeTsQvCCBvGqbvVjutFVghS0v10eU_duzydf-ioTwiDeZ8NiM_eVr63gE6aI0mG4U/s1600-h/IMG_5103.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417303441055602258" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKyIOFysIxfUUDf5wuiSS1NuEtWat0n54fsmCv277fMn4W3bha0qDgx3CwjdznwZGbXcxhYWmeTsQvCCBvGqbvVjutFVghS0v10eU_duzydf-ioTwiDeZ8NiM_eVr63gE6aI0mG4U/s320/IMG_5103.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP873FmIRXBBuHC_ulECOfWzVFLN-doBGx2zrKWrYIFSPv7gOWqm9F1azHX9_tRYBSYCrh0NExjjK7CZM45-b-lRmPf8KzWYm0owBaUUgEOxub3JbrEp9VgS_76YOfNBCXXnATv_zN/s1600-h/IMG_5181.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417303433747939618" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 228px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP873FmIRXBBuHC_ulECOfWzVFLN-doBGx2zrKWrYIFSPv7gOWqm9F1azHX9_tRYBSYCrh0NExjjK7CZM45-b-lRmPf8KzWYm0owBaUUgEOxub3JbrEp9VgS_76YOfNBCXXnATv_zN/s320/IMG_5181.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>I have realized that the things I tire of now that I am older are only brought to life again throught the eyes of a child, or children.

In my mind I am thinking of all the germs, H1N1 virus scares, the greasy junk being made, and the stickiness factor of my shoes to the ground. But....in the mind of children they hear the music of the Mexican dancers in their pretty dresses. They see the GRANDE ferris wheel and want to touch the clouds. They see<br />Big Tex and wonder where he gets his clothes. They see the midway and want to ride every fun ride available.

Knowing his father would say "no," I sent the little guy to talk with him. They both came outside with a wrench in hand. I decided it was time for me to grab my camera.<br /></div><div>An amazing thing happened. When Jamie lined him up and told him to stay on the sidewalk, he just went! Jamie and I stood in amazement looking at one another. We then realized that he did not know how to stop! Jamie took off running after him. From that moment on we have been rolling. Dad is super safety conscious so he followed behind him for a while but when all the neighbors came out Jamyson really got to show off. </div><br /><div>He knew he was ready. He knew he could do it. I on the other hand wanted him to be a little older. Our little guy is growing up so fast. </div><br /><div>I am glad this was a good experience. I know it could have been tramatic and painful.

Jamyson has told us for a looooong time now that on his fourth birthday he was to get him a 4-wheeler, have lots of friends over and be superheroes, and then have cake and ice cream.<br /></div><div>I cannot believe he is four. I know that time is all relative and when there are phases that absolutely drive a mom crazy they last forever, but when there is a phase that you want to hold on to then it passes all too quickly.<br /></div><div>The birthday was fun and pretty uneventful in regards to planned activities. The kids all played and ran themselves crazy. I think they liked playing with their capes on. I sat and watched as all the kids were playing and the parents were interacting. I thought to myself that I could not ask for a better set of friends, family and kids to have our son grow up around. Jamyson loves all of his friends and family. I feel very fortunate that there are these kinds of people right in my backyard that have values for their family. I had a lady at work ask me how we handle adult beverages at the kids parties we attend. I kind of laughed and just explained that the parties and people's kids we hang around really aren't exposed to that kind of stuff. The parties are for the kids. The adults put aside their time to let their kids experience life and in a sheltered, yet very free kind of way. Thank you to all my family and friends that came to our house. Thank you for loving our son. Thank you for working against all that the world wants to make of our kids and standing up to make them great kids!! I was a little teary eyed going to bed the night of the party. There were a lot of people that put their life activities aside for one evening to celebrate Jamyson's birthday. That is pretty special.</div></div></div></div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-50727085852193968712009-09-05T06:28:00.000-07:002009-09-05T06:36:24.733-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRLw-cj7B4ZUgou4hFtvHyQqyT6m6n_2NgKiNu2vO2iHU7RO_yjByHxd-PwPdqzaLygwJpPTqMXJ_GmiGLd689m2HoZ5WEZQlba5IhZxJxOOfjsfAfkyC26N0t8XZ5vmjVb-QTzza/s1600-h/IMG_4716.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377976003775195602" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRRLw-cj7B4ZUgou4hFtvHyQqyT6m6n_2NgKiNu2vO2iHU7RO_yjByHxd-PwPdqzaLygwJpPTqMXJ_GmiGLd689m2HoZ5WEZQlba5IhZxJxOOfjsfAfkyC26N0t8XZ5vmjVb-QTzza/s320/IMG_4716.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_8GmjQWM5cy4Lnh7FK1PiSpq3cXPUxLxcJsfaIx9R41Np55nFMyOCbMP3xXh8JwlWtUskz714g8xbKQwqW5RyH2WOsHG4Klg7WLKtiDGeBMJcSYYX09RFXYpcQU5ddFSNcWBlId1/s1600-h/IMG_4740.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377975996055083314" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_8GmjQWM5cy4Lnh7FK1PiSpq3cXPUxLxcJsfaIx9R41Np55nFMyOCbMP3xXh8JwlWtUskz714g8xbKQwqW5RyH2WOsHG4Klg7WLKtiDGeBMJcSYYX09RFXYpcQU5ddFSNcWBlId1/s320/IMG_4740.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzQCz6c7wkDo_lKyS8gP2Id-K1vj2IA_KP6nIA40WIbSymMGpAvZN2OXQQ9KjfDfitGCs3BCAxu4l_4AC02EEYYzgOK_XxYCgbnMt036tqe1az94cku_c7b5FGGxxDd_3ayg50tgEC/s1600-h/belt+buckle+edited+rodeo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377975027579712642" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzQCz6c7wkDo_lKyS8gP2Id-K1vj2IA_KP6nIA40WIbSymMGpAvZN2OXQQ9KjfDfitGCs3BCAxu4l_4AC02EEYYzgOK_XxYCgbnMt036tqe1az94cku_c7b5FGGxxDd_3ayg50tgEC/s320/belt+buckle+edited+rodeo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYvgHPjQlEjCojsZwRr9YW198XEnCyCRKD22JQeeZYS4LhnJOCKkY9Y82cXrHQc40Bj-IZ9mZzs_iaqpshbXbiVGW3VACWqh-qEhLRk7ifn9A6EKpA3iD1gAvDETZpZ7CAtkDF4k8_/s1600-h/jamys+and+mom+rodeo+edited.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377975018135953186" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 237px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYvgHPjQlEjCojsZwRr9YW198XEnCyCRKD22JQeeZYS4LhnJOCKkY9Y82cXrHQc40Bj-IZ9mZzs_iaqpshbXbiVGW3VACWqh-qEhLRk7ifn9A6EKpA3iD1gAvDETZpZ7CAtkDF4k8_/s320/jamys+and+mom+rodeo+edited.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy60AY_nmSP-WO5utqRhQ1HXrTi0Ew7napJ0ZDrCryUQ6_6AJWLgfvkOD0saSIX43-r-Is1-FHLubIw3hgU-jN28DpzXs-3y7KMxDZjtnpMfClhYacMdcf5UabwGfj8yrj8HBAic-0/s1600-h/dad+and+jamys+rodeo+edited.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377975038899487938" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy60AY_nmSP-WO5utqRhQ1HXrTi0Ew7napJ0ZDrCryUQ6_6AJWLgfvkOD0saSIX43-r-Is1-FHLubIw3hgU-jN28DpzXs-3y7KMxDZjtnpMfClhYacMdcf5UabwGfj8yrj8HBAic-0/s320/dad+and+jamys+rodeo+edited.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Rodeo!!!</div><br /><br /><div>I love to discover things again through the eyes of a 3 (almost 4) year old!! I don't know that the rodeo would be half as exciting without kids!!! The family ventured out, all 18 of us, a few weeks ago to watch horses and bulls. I was amazed at how it kept their attention. Jamyson particularly liked the snacks, cotton candy and real Dr. Pepper!!! The clown car was a hit!!! The mechanical bull was as exciting as riding a real one!!! </div><div> </div><div>Dad gave his advice of leaning back and holdin' on tight. Jamys did just that. Mutton Bustin' was at the top of the list of things to do. Unfortunately on this night none of the kiddos showed up on the list to do it. It was still exciting to watch.</div><div> </div><div>Dad was proud to be able to pull out his old belt buckle that his dad gave him so that Jamys could wear it. Jamyson was so proud to be dressed up like a Cowboy!!! </div><div> </div><div>Family and rodeos!!! It was a perfect night.</div></div></div></div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-68495332071741298182009-08-09T17:36:00.001-07:002009-08-09T17:46:32.051-07:00Allie in Afghanistan<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSIKHQNb2ZaPlM9mldjFCrV0_k3y60wmuhJt7ywq93z8MLToOY0lPCusb2kLzLeRvcX425zyHCV0AZ0pRV7yJz3j9c3TTqTNIUIScPF9YGgU2LgPG4K6ZSiAZmusCrImJoSZ7adCM/s1600-h/allie.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSIKHQNb2ZaPlM9mldjFCrV0_k3y60wmuhJt7ywq93z8MLToOY0lPCusb2kLzLeRvcX425zyHCV0AZ0pRV7yJz3j9c3TTqTNIUIScPF9YGgU2LgPG4K6ZSiAZmusCrImJoSZ7adCM/s320/allie.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368127519971402322" /></a><br /><br />Tomorrow one of 'my girls' will leave for Afghanistan. She is a remarkable young lady that I love dearly. God allowed me a few short years of my life to spend with 4 amazing girls. They have all forever changed my life. Every Sunday evening they would gather at my house and sit around our table. We would eat, talk, laugh, discuss the Bible and pray for one another. I shared so much of me and I learned so much from them that many times I felt like the student.<br /><br />These 4 girls prayed and walked alongside Jamie and I through the birth and adoption of Jamyson. There were there when Jamyson came home from the hospital. Now they are all of in different directions serving God. I am not suprised at what they are doing at all.<br /><br />One will leave tomorrow to start her career as a teacher/missionary in a foreign country. She is strong and will be a great teacher. My prayers and best wishes go with her. Watch out Afghanistan, there is a young lady headed your way. she has a killer smile, beautiful face, wit of a comedian and a heart for Jesus. She will make and impact and give Him all the glory. <br /><br />Go Allie, go and be a disciple for Him. Change the world one little heart at a time. The reunions for you and loved ones may seem too few and too short....but...one day, one day Miss Allie, the reunion in heaven with souls you have encountered will all be worth the journey. With tears I write these words but with a confident heart I pray your trip will be one that words cannot describle, only your emotions will recall.<br /><br />Thank you God for my friend.Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-55735361321424964962009-08-02T20:34:00.000-07:002009-08-02T20:35:58.406-07:00<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d5441324f44417a4d7a413d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox scrapbook: Holly Lake 2009" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d5441324f44417a4d7a413d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/scrapbooks" target="_blank">Make a Smilebox scrapbook</a></td></tr></table>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-3155853739246753342009-08-01T19:01:00.000-07:002009-08-01T19:15:53.756-07:00Just the other evening Jamyson and I were home alone and getting him ready for bed. I was putting a few clothes away and Jamyson asked me who my Mema was. I told him she was my grandmother just like Gaga is his grandmother. He asked a little about her and said maybe he could meet her some day. I told him she had passed away and that she was in heaven. He then asked how he could get to heaven. I had to stop in my tracks and sit on the bed with him to continue this conversation. I told him to get to heaven we had to ask Jesus to come live in our heart. He said why and that let to sin, "Momma, what is sin?" Oh my, I thought, this is going to be a difficult conversation. I began to talk a little and he said, "Hang on momma, Jesus will you come live in my heart? Okay, momma, I think I am ready to meet her now." My heart stopped and I was pretty sure he did not get it all right now. I told him that we would keep talking about his and that one day I sure hope that we would get to see my Mema together.<br /><br />All of this makes me again thankful that God gives me the chance to go stop and sieze opportunities with my little boy. That moment will be etched ini my mind forever. He was so serious and so interested in all that I had to say. The moment also taught me not to take for granted every chance to talk to Jamyson about Jesus.Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-34642031626847585902009-07-26T19:55:00.000-07:002009-07-26T20:19:51.346-07:00Summer Vacation<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinhyDDvjlk8Z7MUsFtvO6ySPFeXgpvzUt2TFs3oaBGnnD0DXw3MkDzU-Jy6mmsDVgBaaOBazFGOozYmjl3urOtAqFqO6tAM9jDLgd3kOGX3mXQw-BrGayAkON3clTdJ5mSpLhHS43T/s1600-h/IMG_4526.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362973897006193794" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinhyDDvjlk8Z7MUsFtvO6ySPFeXgpvzUt2TFs3oaBGnnD0DXw3MkDzU-Jy6mmsDVgBaaOBazFGOozYmjl3urOtAqFqO6tAM9jDLgd3kOGX3mXQw-BrGayAkON3clTdJ5mSpLhHS43T/s200/IMG_4526.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKJWQCV0nwvpl8Pxptc0AsaBHGPeA62i4hj_08z1VgnYDdoggdfGqR1HbZbnp6fjLIONBJD4R5C7fj-pviF-B5zhiMnj9HIfeM_W3xGbhXbDjke0dsykj4kbgbBghLdqaimJnRyWXx/s1600-h/IMG_4535.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362973868211633298" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKJWQCV0nwvpl8Pxptc0AsaBHGPeA62i4hj_08z1VgnYDdoggdfGqR1HbZbnp6fjLIONBJD4R5C7fj-pviF-B5zhiMnj9HIfeM_W3xGbhXbDjke0dsykj4kbgbBghLdqaimJnRyWXx/s200/IMG_4535.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>I want to begin to put in words what is going through my mind about the end of summer vacation for me. I would say this has been the most memorable summer for me since I can remember. This is my first summer to have extended time off and spend with Jamyson and my family. I am going to miss late night nilla wafers while watching Hannah Montana, waking up in the mornings and seeing him smiling asking "Where are we going today?" Not a day was wasted. If feel like we packed in all that we could every day and still took time for naps!!! From swimming lessons watching Claire and Hannah being scared of the water to little fish by the end of a few weeks was remarkable. Watching the little personality of Kate blossom is priceless. I am determined to get her to tell everyone "I love you" and us sign language!! Little Owen worked so hard to be like te older kids and jumped in like the rest and began to swim without his life jacket by end of summer!! He is an example of hard work paying off. Prayton just cracks me up. I love hearing him tell me stories and to start getting hugs from him has been so warming. Then there is my little man. He is one thing that I can say I would do just about anything for!!! In loving him I think I am beginning to get more of a glance of exactly how my Heavenly Father loves me. Jamyson is amazing. He has a HUGE heart and has a good time just living life. He has taught me so much and I have loved watching him every day grow up. I tell him all the time that I love him just the way he is and I mean it. There is so much in life that we think we need to have or need to do but I have learned this summer that there is so much in life I am missing by thinking too much. I need to step back and watch, observe and see what gifts God has placed right in front of me. I am always thinking about what's next opposed to what is going on now. Because what is going on right now is that God has given me the best husband in the world along with the best son in the world and I want to enjoy those gifts to the fullest. I want to be grateful.</div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-83436359116729984962009-07-22T21:22:00.000-07:002009-08-01T20:55:34.615-07:00Rain, Rain.....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-b32U9c9fi4FsKwZnTNPhyJ3fDgwsgAMuVsmZoVQHd_ufWAhTXH-zUKbBFRUoFcuhW-3-xlkoCjkTgw7YtDhhcbe5ehU-o_9DW0DxA6yJE5mnig5GoiQFDRL_0YUo9M8dTj_0cn3N/s1600-h/jamys+and+prayton+astronauts.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361508816819992306" style="FLOAT: left;

We had a good time inside today as we thought rain was going to ruin the day. It turned out to be a great day outside but we enjoyed it indoors all the same. The kids love to push all the buttons and have the freedom to manipulate things in a way they normally are not allowed to do!!! The firetruck is always a hit as well as the farm. Discovery added with the right company is a combination for fun!!! We did decide to eat outdoors in the nice weather. They day ended with nothing less than a bang! I fell into the lake next to the red climbing exhibits outside. It was a very embarrassing event and I am sure this memory will find its way back to me for a long time!!!!!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-25869069541618417752009-07-22T21:06:00.000-07:002009-07-22T21:22:01.019-07:00Apple "flitters" and friends<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8I8j6cJfa7uRajcA4iZLz-F_QyH_lVgJsxu6y7UuJm_BWU_2R2Vgy_bHepQz8GhdmKNJgpyoZNZuPOH6pNZkZzNRu1J93kjQY1Mpg6rxfqvB0lmZ9wUWU3Ucif66u3eABHhUahlZg/s1600-h/IMG_4021.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361506030832463634" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8I8j6cJfa7uRajcA4iZLz-F_QyH_lVgJsxu6y7UuJm_BWU_2R2Vgy_bHepQz8GhdmKNJgpyoZNZuPOH6pNZkZzNRu1J93kjQY1Mpg6rxfqvB0lmZ9wUWU3Ucif66u3eABHhUahlZg/s320/IMG_4021.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVP2G6cAXX_gSCOniq15d_lkBRnLJD3jDuZrjd-5FakO7VJJHmyhvUDnkSTQv8FsM4V0D3rFvh9nV18izD_q4KauvLMWJUyJpQSL3wm_a49WrKdpe9NrJViN0WRJ8vIJnA1ozcm-xV/s1600-h/IMG_3991.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361506023772908466" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVP2G6cAXX_gSCOniq15d_lkBRnLJD3jDuZrjd-5FakO7VJJHmyhvUDnkSTQv8FsM4V0D3rFvh9nV18izD_q4KauvLMWJUyJpQSL3wm_a49WrKdpe9NrJViN0WRJ8vIJnA1ozcm-xV/s320/IMG_3991.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div>We went to the arboretum with some friends last Saturday. We really enjoyed spending time with them! The weather was unusually cool for late July in Texas. It was so cold that the kids did not want to stay in the water long!!! This was Jamie's first date to the arboretum. I know he acted as if he liked it and all but I am sure it is not some place he will frequent with me! I think he wishes he could be catching the fish and not feeding them!!</div></div></div></div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-49651690379316835122009-07-22T20:58:00.000-07:002009-07-22T21:06:05.113-07:00Rocket Launch<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibxvdLCHskuzjIr8b7qDTMy_1AuWGnOGr0SAWMxa3jHVQPtJ0-XqoXfGyeHhIBzpi8FmIpMEkNATlRpLF5iDjpReJaAs_HTwv5tKdqN8C_6oVxWnqzvErXf7W4gJJfUJoI26c7B7e7/s1600-h/dad+and+jamyson+rocket+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361501970321443298" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibxvdLCHskuzjIr8b7qDTMy_1AuWGnOGr0SAWMxa3jHVQPtJ0-XqoXfGyeHhIBzpi8FmIpMEkNATlRpLF5iDjpReJaAs_HTwv5tKdqN8C_6oVxWnqzvErXf7W4gJJfUJoI26c7B7e7/s320/dad+and+jamyson+rocket+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4mMD3BANQFnaB28jQTpAW4GPVdHfJu859Dqn4akwriYvqzEdKueUJXhq7T3iHa6trNpf8oeBszOGP-_jltZYq6AnmwnYKyCT6QzwiVqIY_hXtJYeEyXM_EQYXe59IsSkN-HUiIeQ/s1600-h/dad+and+jamyson+with+rocket+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361501731413637730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4mMD3BANQFnaB28jQTpAW4GPVdHfJu859Dqn4akwriYvqzEdKueUJXhq7T3iHa6trNpf8oeBszOGP-_jltZYq6AnmwnYKyCT6QzwiVqIY_hXtJYeEyXM_EQYXe59IsSkN-HUiIeQ/s320/dad+and+jamyson+with+rocket+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Aunt Debbie told Jamyson that there was a space shuttle launch on the evening after we left her house. Jamyson woke up from his nap and could not quit talking about it. We went to the store and found two toy rockets for him and his dad. Well, of course he could not wait for dad so he shot the rocket all evening until he came home. We watched the rocket launch on the internet and watched the NASA channel all night!! I made the guys go outside with the rockets because for some reason I was the target at my every turn of the house. Jamyson had a new love in space ships and rockets. It is so fun to watch as he is introduced to new things and fall in love with each of them. When his eyes light up in excitement it lights up my heart as well!!!</div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-2424484394843643082009-07-22T20:36:00.001-07:002009-07-22T20:57:40.551-07:00Aunt Debbie's house<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_L4-S3GDbMjO2keZWa1TbSuHQFPN8dAbGzfk0qj-v-SVfStqXv1qngMxuiOdxuvxUdAO4dMaTtWiT-c1n5S85LyM1FfaWBLHI2jvmrK3Fi1Gg1QKFLo3lf9iRgD-LLmhQDvH-OJwG/s1600-h/IMG_3939.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361496521993382930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_L4-S3GDbMjO2keZWa1TbSuHQFPN8dAbGzfk0qj-v-SVfStqXv1qngMxuiOdxuvxUdAO4dMaTtWiT-c1n5S85LyM1FfaWBLHI2jvmrK3Fi1Gg1QKFLo3lf9iRgD-LLmhQDvH-OJwG/s320/IMG_3939.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDrFDtKfdl_0D5rsJ9BABKCrGNX02kL-j42wNH4uSUh7OGOX5NHNg4Go_PuRkOyJLF-eHllcIkLPZJOs7_wBS6SiN3QhYo1naey38Ff6ddagXu4acgn5yY9N8yTosbk-eGX54uEl4x/s1600-h/owen+%40+debbies.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361496516799775250" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDrFDtKfdl_0D5rsJ9BABKCrGNX02kL-j42wNH4uSUh7OGOX5NHNg4Go_PuRkOyJLF-eHllcIkLPZJOs7_wBS6SiN3QhYo1naey38Ff6ddagXu4acgn5yY9N8yTosbk-eGX54uEl4x/s320/owen+%40+debbies.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Owen's </div><div>Football</div><div>pose<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_-058zR7DbNbwTNuF45C5Sf3TVTo8r0SDqzgKRjNOPZs6OVCUovpk3dO4ITzrGx8-0si6pnbtEEJQzqnIvWc10GiUc-xRGFzjTq2Zmq2BLupdG3ydWN0vT9559xJDy77w3fd0b8MY/s1600-h/cousins@debbies.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361496508463485842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_-058zR7DbNbwTNuF45C5Sf3TVTo8r0SDqzgKRjNOPZs6OVCUovpk3dO4ITzrGx8-0si6pnbtEEJQzqnIvWc10GiUc-xRGFzjTq2Zmq2BLupdG3ydWN0vT9559xJDy77w3fd0b8MY/s320/cousins@debbies.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Not one smile on the outside but on the inside they are very happy with the popsicles!!!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1q2WIypxi-YgTkcEhCD4YgC_yCYG7kDZSyqrqn5bPZM1GK_noJ_9CwS5jSpSQLC2iWQ1epaSMtNYslAMUMpWrUtm79wwFl4JuCqMJqRndQu1xj2XgIHMJw5jsTEs2ADg7tQzult33/s1600-h/IMG_3937.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361495489079831698" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 171px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 124px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1q2WIypxi-YgTkcEhCD4YgC_yCYG7kDZSyqrqn5bPZM1GK_noJ_9CwS5jSpSQLC2iWQ1epaSMtNYslAMUMpWrUtm79wwFl4JuCqMJqRndQu1xj2XgIHMJw5jsTEs2ADg7tQzult33/s320/IMG_3937.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg69HcvGPblWHktz9jp4VtQ383GRPNLfZG8U7kGKPJ6ip3gwK-HVVqWvyQP_rh1BQK15LDRmwPtcPwo6Ngz2kbeyR0Mb7kqVDfiKUH2MzKbB1urnk6Zmc3dRJiuz9PMLiHPiUl7w_hd/s1600-h/claire+and+hannah+%40+debbies.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361494996175502514" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 173px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 118px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg69HcvGPblWHktz9jp4VtQ383GRPNLfZG8U7kGKPJ6ip3gwK-HVVqWvyQP_rh1BQK15LDRmwPtcPwo6Ngz2kbeyR0Mb7kqVDfiKUH2MzKbB1urnk6Zmc3dRJiuz9PMLiHPiUl7w_hd/s320/claire+and+hannah+%40+debbies.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /> </div><div> </div><div>We had a great day at Aunt Debbie's house.

The new water slide was a huge hit with him. He woke up this morning and his dad had blown it up for him. He could not believe it. He wanted his cousins to come over and check it out. Kate would rather play with Tite-tite and the kids came up with many imaginary games. Mom even felt as if she should join the fun and climbed up for a bit. Jamyson wanted so bad to pull me down the slide. Family is another reason I love summer.</div></div></div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-57969581343997699522009-07-09T13:58:00.000-07:002009-07-09T14:09:39.289-07:00Summer Fun!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXpnxhZxbhkaNlHPM43Ipcwal3toV6k5M_KsnUFt-duyagkm3BduQWNp_kB5H4YvtY7LvLvLfm-a1eJ1Aju9YBmcnNxW81O43rfIFNT4r8shJnmE_2jGQ_ttLgq4tYXxYTMwEzDO8/s1600-h/IMG_3811.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356567868603332850" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXpnxhZxbhkaNlHPM43Ipcwal3toV6k5M_KsnUFt-duyagkm3BduQWNp_kB5H4YvtY7LvLvLfm-a1eJ1Aju9YBmcnNxW81O43rfIFNT4r8shJnmE_2jGQ_ttLgq4tYXxYTMwEzDO8/s320/IMG_3811.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We are having a good time this </div><br />summer staying up late and hanging out with friends and family late at night. We are going to have to go reverse the late night thing and go back to school times soon. Jamyson loves hanging out with our neighbor friend. She is a little older but she takes good care of him and helps him out. She got them chairs in the fort and a few snacks then their watched their pretend firework show. The 'grand finale' lasted forever.

Well, this picture explains it. I am having a good time with my family. It is a time where we can laugh and have a good time without feeling the pressures of the world. The kids all have a good time together and it is so much fun to watch each of their personalities when we are together. I thank God that He gives us a picture of his love through the feeling of family.</div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-20187650056633209712009-07-06T05:24:00.000-07:002009-07-06T06:52:31.796-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXjE-yg4trkw8tSB5ahxjhjLBElw5lzLomRgw6ckpKoPpM-6KuX8DSTTLef16wXVTvnaBso5DKRT03lXS8-Ta-djxwwrdiVgzCqHHX33shpcrMsQ3KrKvHHoxcsJUJsUvIiWI0B90_/s1600-h/IMG_3778.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355324080593005442" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXjE-yg4trkw8tSB5ahxjhjLBElw5lzLomRgw6ckpKoPpM-6KuX8DSTTLef16wXVTvnaBso5DKRT03lXS8-Ta-djxwwrdiVgzCqHHX33shpcrMsQ3KrKvHHoxcsJUJsUvIiWI0B90_/s320/IMG_3778.JPG" border="0" /></a> Family, fireworks, snowcones, waterballoons, bike parades, etc., etc. We had a blast on the fourth!

Fireworks for two nights and family fun both days. The cousins all like to play in water and just run around!! Angie Pangie brought some games and snow cone machine. Gaga, Granny, Gia, Aunt Pattie, (woman of many names) had the yard decorated. She had help from cousin Hannah. Aunt Debbie brought the swimming pool. The dads filled water ballons and the moms, well, we sat and directed the entire time! We enjoy time together. Then we had a bike parade that did not last too long only because it was so hot and not to mention close to lunch time!!!! It was a special two days together. Pictures capture the memories that keep us remembering the event but the day is special because we do have the freedom to do the things we enjoy.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-42916167565954147602009-06-23T13:03:00.000-07:002009-06-23T13:07:12.513-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfLdcsB4Ag4Y34xi6nJH56H_dDXm2N8r-r6Mlp4-FWqa8asxcY-uxZXROQhJQ5mceqsIePEmT1juG5lCDRFnMCrsV17XCP67i0cqZZB7kDlZmGUfZL8KTonkVpWTXS_5iBGCdtxu1s/s1600-h/IMG_3374.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350616448286705074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfLdcsB4Ag4Y34xi6nJH56H_dDXm2N8r-r6Mlp4-FWqa8asxcY-uxZXROQhJQ5mceqsIePEmT1juG5lCDRFnMCrsV17XCP67i0cqZZB7kDlZmGUfZL8KTonkVpWTXS_5iBGCdtxu1s/s320/IMG_3374.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>SUMMER SWIMMING LESSONS!!

"Momma, I can do it." That is the favorite phrase nowadays. He loves to open the car doors himself, set the house alarm, feed the dog, etc., etc.. I love seeing the independence but it reminds me too much of me and now I see how frustrating that can be to live with an independent person!! This little man makes me laugh every day!! He has an outlook on life that is the ultimate best.

First we enjoyed the day with Family at church. It is cool to see the cousins all in the same class at church. It is so nice to have Jamyson want to go in his class each Sunday now!!! Then we had a great lunch made by Gaga and Pops!!! Nothing better than a home cooked meal that you did not cook. Then we were all off to the house for naps. After nap time it was back to the funnest place on the planet, Gaga and Pops house. The kiddos all stayed with the grandparents while the moms and dads went to grab some dinner and some adult, uninterrupted conversation. It was good food and good fun for all involved. (Gaga and Pops worked the hardest this evening!)</div></div></div></div>Jamie Starretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02475259900296869404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430196067295836216.post-45939295416669652302009-06-17T04:54:00.001-07:002009-06-17T05:02:49.431-07:00<div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8cAX_e-mwT62E9WiE3h8rA_skl0hZKNNIbLbLKZ5dv-bO6DSaEEaaSrkWiy82GW2oNkTcFUisrfuaD-HXXIbIq6DltckXF4TNy9e-fedv2A78JW3RNuwRE_KFtRPIuhiSk06gWjkk/s1600-h/IMG_3104.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348264103319669682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8cAX_e-mwT62E9WiE3h8rA_skl0hZKNNIbLbLKZ5dv-bO6DSaEEaaSrkWiy82GW2oNkTcFUisrfuaD-HXXIbIq6DltckXF4TNy9e-fedv2A78JW3RNuwRE_KFtRPIuhiSk06gWjkk/s200/IMG_3104.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>May 2009 Dad's Birthd<img class="gl_photo" alt="Add Image" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" border="0" />ay!</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Gaga (my mom) always finds a way to make everyone's birthday special.
