Fab Blog Award

Dawn, who is just soo sweet, gave me this blog award a while back and I am just now getting to award it back to others! This is the "Your Blog is Fabulous award". I love all of the blogs I read. I really do. The rules of accepting the award are that you award it to 5 people and then list 5 addictions you have. So without further ado, I award this to:
Bekah at Bizzy B's-She and her husband live in South AR where Russell and I are from. They are expecting a baby girl, Shelby, in June.
Kelly at Kelly's Korner-I love her blog and her blog was the first one I ever read. As you all know, she and Scott are very excited about Harper and how she is getting better and better every day!
Amy at The Talbert Trio-She is one of my very best friends and has had a blog for a little while. She is also expecting a baby in July! She is Russell's cousin also!
Stephanie at The Gift of Hope-She attends church where my parents attend. I found her blog recently and enjoy it.
Kacy at Murray Madness-Her blog is hilarious! Just makes my day!

So here are my 5 "addictions".

1. Diet Coke! This is my real addiction. I have to have a diet coke at least one to three times a day. I really try to drink water some though!

2. Mary Kay products. I don't think this is a bad addiction. I have been using MK for a year now and I just love it, of course. Every time I use the skincare, I feel like I am at a "mini spa" and pampering myself!


3. Movies. This is my #1 favorite movie of ALL time! It has been since I was 3 years old. I love going to the movies and whenever I love the movie, I HAVE to buy it...well I WANT to buy it. For instance, we have to own "Fireproof" and "Marley and Me" when it comes out! Russell and I both love to just relax and watch movies sometimes.



4. Cookbooks and cooking magazines. This is one of my favorites:Cooking w/ Paula Deen! I have a whole library of cookbooks and they are such good references!




5. My most recent addiction: my Blackberry! Ya'll--aren't you addicted to yours too?
So tomorrow we will finally venture out. Schools are closed again tomorrow but the roads are better. Hope ya'll stay warm!

One thing Russell has enjoyed is taking pics of all the ice!

Winter Day in NWA

Today is a very cold and icy day here in NWA. Here is our street right now! Even though it is icy, it has been a good day! Russell is home and I am in my pj's. We plan on relaxing all day!

Here is our house in this ice!




Wow, what an icicle!








Many icicles on our porch table.
Yes, like I said, it's very cold here today. All the schools are closed and many businesses too. Last night, I made homemade chili and sour cream muffins. It was such a good time to have that meal! Hope ya'll stay warm!

Happy 40th Anniversary, Mama and Daddy!

Forty years ago, on January 25, 1969, Jerry Randolph Jordan and Kathy Ann Saxon said "I Do." This is a precious picture of them on their wedding day.

Mama and Daddy are just such a wonderful example of marriage! They taught Kelly and I so much (and still do)!

Yesterday our family went to the Brave New to eat a very wonderful dinner. We really enjoyed it a lot. It was very fancy!


Me with my wonderful Russell. He is the greatest!



Kelly and I planned to give Mama and Daddy a special memory book that has many pictures from when they dated, married, Kelly's wedding, my wedding, Logan and Lauren's births, and more. Other family members got in on it also! They love the book!




This is them gazing in one another's eyes. Isn't that soo sweet?!!





Their rings together.
Happy 40th Anniversary Daddy and Mama! We Love You SO Much!

A Price Product

Russell's parents are here for a visit this weekend and they stopped at Russell's great aunt and uncle's house in Little Rock for a quick visit. Margaret (Russell's great aunt) made 4 homemade jellies for us and put them in a basket. How cute!

And look, she even labeled each jar! It says, "A Price Product!" I really thought it was so special she did that!

Here are Jackie and Ricky at Fred's Hickory Inn. It was so yum.


And Russell and I! Hope ya'll have a grand weekend!
