Happy Birthday!

It is my mom's birthday today. I will not disclose how young she is today! But I must say she is still very young to have 3 grown daughters and 8 grandchildren!I will let you on another little secret....I'm my mom's favorite daughter. (don't be mad Heather and Jenna) What could be a greater birthday gift than bringing home a beautiful little girl (me) on your birthday!?

Mom, I hope you have a great day and that dad takes you out to your favorite restaurant and then takes you shopping for hours and also let's you buy anything your little heart desires! Hey, every birthday girl gets to make a wish! Right? I hope yours comes true.

We love you soooo much and...........................

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Hugs and Kisses,
Oz, Heidi, Campbell, Chloe, and Cooper

pumpkin, pumpkin, who got a pumpkin?

What a great fall day in Atlanta to go to the pumpkin patch. It was a perfect 60 degrees. Just cool enough to get a little bundled up and go on a hayride! What a fun way to spend a Sat afternoon. I will let you in on a little secret, shhhh, we only let the kids buy the ity bity pumpkins at the patch and then we go to Wal-mart and buy a big pumpkin for $3.

Chloe and Cooper were fascinated by the tractor!

Yes, that is a cotton field only found in the deep, deep, south!

We had a great time with friends...Travis, Beth, Madeline, Mackenna, and Maddox!

My new favorite thing this week is.........

I love cake stands! How much prettier does it look sitting on my counter than my old ugly tupperware. I think I would like to start a collection of cake stands. My mom always says a collection is at least 3 so I guess I need to find 2 more. Oh, how fun it will be to go to the antique store and hunt for my next cake stand! This one is not a vintage. I got it at Kohl's on sale last month. I've put cookies, brownies, muffins, and my latest creation a pumpkin cake. Ohhhh, it was tasty!

The only bad thing is you can see the delectable's just starring at you screaming "I know you want me, just eat me!" Who can resist a yummy sweet treat!

Attitude of Gratitude #3

Today's attitude of gratitude is...........my older sis Heather! (I just have to emphasize the older)

This is the only picture I could find of Heather. Next time we are together we need some pics!

First off, I feel so blessed to have 2 wonderful sisters who are truly my best friends.

So, Hez and I were chatting on the phone the other day and I was complaining about how we had to fix the truck 2 times this month and I was feeling discouraged about our financial funds etc...She just said to me Heidi look at the blessings just this week God provided. 1. a poodle skirt for Chloe to wear on 50's day-a friend just loaned it to me and 2. my neighbor just gave me a printer/copier/scanner for our computer.

Thank-you Hez for the reminder of God's faithfulness and to be thankful for all our my blessings no matter how big or small the blessing may be! Thanks for always being positive and an encouragement! I really needed it this week. Love you and miss you so much!

You can check her our here!

Sock-Hop, anyone?

Chloe celebrated the 50th day of 1st grade. What fun she had twirling in her poodle skirt. Every girls dream - a really twirly skirt! She had such a fun day....hop scotching, hola-hooping, silly puddy, and snacking! What fun it would have been to live in the 50's. I'm glad Chloe got a little slice of it!

Happy Fall!

Hi-ho, hi-ho, off to the pumpkin patch we go, we will pick some pumpkims, ride the hayride, drink some cider, hi-ho, hi-ho, hi-ho, hi-ho!

Have a great fall weekend, ya'll!

SMILE!

Today was the day to go to the dreaded dentist! I hate (oops sorry kids, we don't use the

"H" word in the Price house) the dentist for many reasons.......cold air, cold water, scrapping, bleeding gums, they ask questions while their whole hand is in your mouth, expensive, do I really need a crown? You get my point! I'd rather get a pap smear than go to the dentist.

Well today was actually a pleasant experience at the dentist. Thanks Carol! She took the extra effort to make the cleaning of my sensitive teeth comfortable. She didn't use cold water or cold air! I will definitely go back in 6 months instead of 2 years. Dr. Tyler gave me a Rx for sensitive toothpaste. I didn't even know that existed! Also, no cavity!

What a great day!

What are your dental dislikes?

little, little pumpkin EATER

My mom was asking me this morning if Cooper was able to wear his little pumpkin sweater she bought him yet......I said Ma it is still 75 degrees here! But this one is for you and a great fall screen saver I must say! Love you Mom!

Attitude of Gratitude #2

I am so thankful for Clayton and Betty Smith and Kyndra Smith. I do not have a photo of them but here is a photo of their blessing to us.



For those of you who may not know the story.....here is the rest of the story.......

In the spring of 2007 Oz and I felt it was the Lord's will for Oz to take a new job teaching and coaching in Georgia. We were excited to take on this new adventure and live where the climate was warm. So we put our house on the market and prayed it would sell quickly. We didn't know the Lord had planned to let our house sit for 13 long months but we were at peace knowing we were in His will and He had a perfect plan for us. In the meantime, July rolled around and Oz needed to be in Georgia to start football and so he moved and lived with the Thelen's (we are so thankful to these sweet people) and the kids and I stayed behind thinking the house would sell real soon and then we would all be together again.

July, August, September by this time we could not take the separation any longer and the Lord placed in our lives the Smiths! They offered for us to rent their home for a VERY cheap price until our house sold. We were so excited for this awesome gesture of kindness and packed up the family and moved. They offered for us to live in their furnished home-dishes and everything-so we left all our belongings in our home in Indy so the house would look "livable".

Praise the Lord our house sold at the end of May 2008 and here we are still living in the Smith's lovely home! They are so gracious to let us stay another year which is a complete blessing to us since the year of living in Ga and having a house in Indy was financially straining. God has been so good and has provided above and beyond our needs.

We are so thankful to the Smiths for being so kind to our family. Since they still have belongings in the home the sweetly call and ask if they can stop by the house and get something. I'm like sure anytime, it is your house! I feel bad that they have to ask to come in but they always tell us they are so thankful we live here so the house doesn't sit empty. What kind people to let us sit on their coach, drink from there cups, let 3 little, dirty fingered children run and play in their home. We have gotten to know the Smiths and I have just fallen in love with their family. What a great family with such a great sense of humor.
Clayton, Betty, and Kyndra we are thankful for you!

Sick again?!

Life with sick children. Let's see, a run down of my last 48 hrs............


-awakened at 4 am with a feverish Campbell ( which was so pitiful b/c he was apologizing for waking up daddy who had to get up for work soon ) Motrin given, all tucked back in to sleeping bag on our floor.


-get Chloe on bus....she wasn't to thrilled to go to school without her "big bubby"

-change a poopy diaper (this would be Cooper)

-give out more Tylenol

-watch cartoons ( and play some video games )ALL day with my sick child.

-change another poopy diaper

-take naps (best time of the day)

-more Motrin

-Chloe off bus....do homework, read books

-Go pick up a pizza.sick kids = great excuse to not cook! (Campbell crying in back seat b/c his head hurts)

-Yeah! daddy's home

-bedtime for kids

-clean salsa off the wall (yes Oz spilled or threw salsa on the yellow walls-I wish I had a camera for this one)

-run to wal-mart to prepare for another day to stay home

-awaken at 2 am now by Chloe burning with fever

-Motrin given, drink of water, tuck back into bed

-awaken at 2:15 by Campbell burning with fever....Motrin given, drink of water, tuck back in bed

-awaken at 3:30 with 2 sick children unable to fall asleep

-husband awake at 6, shower and off to work

-awaken by sick kids....more Motrin and cartoons started

-change poopy diaper...thankful he is not sick (yet)

-Chloe pucking-thankfully she made it to the toilet

-Tylenol given

-naps started

-wishing it wasn't football season-only today Oz sorry, still love you!

-lots of snuggling, back rubbing, hugs and kisses, noses wiped, words of affirmation

-wondering what my next 48 hrs will hold? I hope I can still go and get my haircut tomorrow night-Oz?

I will admit having sick kids is tiring and draining....but I'm reminded that it is only a season and thankfully they are usually very healthy children. Many moms out there do this 24/7 b/c their children have a life threatening illness. A few tough days this week.....once again I am thankful to have 2 sick little children to love and nurse back to health!

Beauty Shop!

The kids were having fun doing Cooper's hair. They had the water bottle going and everything. He actually sat there and let the kids work their magic! Watching the kids do this brought back my own childhood beauty shop memories. My uncle Mark use to let me put his hair in lots of little rubber bands and do crazy stuff to his hair. I wish I had some pictures of that!

Anyone else brave enough to try the Price hair salon?

Love the mohawk, Cam!

Happy Birthday!

Today is my sweet mother-in-laws birthday! We are praying you have a great day and want you to know how thankful we are for you. We miss you and love you so much!

Happy, Happy Birthday

Love you,

Oz, Heidi, Campbell, Chloe, and Cooper

Attitude of Gratitude

Well, I have decided to start a PRICEless memories ritual -Thursdays attitude of gratitude-of sharing with all 5 of you who read my blog someone who I am thankful for and why. It is also a great reminder to me to be thankful and not take people for granted. The Lord has placed so many wonderful people in my life and who better to start off with than the wonderful Oz Price (my hubby)!



1. I am thankful that Oz loves the Lord and is a Godly leader in our home. Just last Sunday on our way home from church he says "man I just love to go to church". I am so thankful I don't have to drag his tired bones out of bed every Sun morning begging him to take his family to church. I'll be honest, sometimes he has to drag my tired bones out of bed. I am not a morning person.
2. I am thankful that Oz is such a hard worker. I mean come on, who wants to get up before the sun comes up everyday and during football season comes home when the sun is going down! He NEVER complains about it and finds joy in his ministry. That is another thing I love is he always says it is not a job it is his ministry. So the other morning I hear him tell me goodbye, I love you, and a kiss and I look at the clock and it is 6:02. So I get up and lock the door behind him and watch him drive away in the dark and think boy how does he do this every day and then I crawl back in my warm comfy bed and pray over him and fall back to la la land.
3. I am thankful that Oz is not a complainer. I could make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches everyday and he would NEVER complain! He always tries to find the silver lining in everything.
4. I am thankful that Oz loves me...even when I'm grumpy! He always tells me I am pretty even when I haven't done a thing to myself all day (or 2). :) He rubs my feet and back whenever I ask or even don't ask
5. I am thankful Oz is a great dad. He is so loving and patient and gentle. He will always play games with the kids, jump on the trampoline, throw the football (this is a hard one for him)ha ha.
He changes diapers even stinky ones, gives baths, helps with the dishes,and even the laundry sometimes.
6. I am thankful Oz has such a tender heart. As many of you know he is not a man who is afraid to show some tears. Especially when it comes to football. He loves those boys and are so invested in them as players and young men. He always says it isn't about wins and loses it is about training boys to become men. His desire is to be successful on the scoreboard but most importantly successful in showing his players the love of Christ.

So after all of this great info about Oz Price......how can ya not love this man? I know I do....Love you Ozzie. Thank-you Lord for blessing me with such a wonderful husband, father, and friend!
