Merry Christmas Everybody

Preachin' on Politics

For any who might be interested...I preached on politics this past Sunday morning (11/9). If you'd be interested in listening to or downloading the sermon, you can click here to go to our church's sermon audio page.

Look for the sermon "Politics and the Kingdom of God"

Happy listening...

I've Been tagged!

Thanks Jackie! I usually just ignore these when they are sent to me in my email acccount but since you posted it for the world to see I guess I better play along :)
Things that make me weird:

1. I cry....when I'm happy, when I feel the holy spirit close, when I'm sleepy, pretty much at anything! Just ask Mark, it really makes his life hard cause he has no clue what to do.

2. My second toe is the longest toe on my foot. ( I've heard it's a sign of leadership!)

3. I can not leave a bite on my plate (there are starving children out there!) And it drives me crazy b/c Mark leaves 1 bite on his plate every meal and it's usually the best bite!

4. Chocolate is a nessesary food group to me

5. I have horns on my nose from a childhood bike wreck

6. I used to bite my toenails. Now I just pop my toes!

7. When I get nervous and have to talk in front of people I get really funny and usually get countrified.

8. I think being prego and delivering a baby is one of the most fun, wonderful and amazing things in the world!! I wish I could just stay that way! But...I won't...ok honey!

They're Back

I know most of you think I have fallen off the face of the earth...but I'm here! It's just been an insanely busy few months for us. I know you don't check the blog for my amazing words of wisdom but for pictures of the cutest kids on earth! So, here are a few to keep you coming back!

Think About It...

I found this video that Keith posted on Facebook and thought it was worth posting here for all of the millions of our readers at Bloggin' Bass. Enjoy...

Our little Man!

Happy 3rd Birthday Luke! We love you!

Sarah's I year Photos

I love to take pictures. Since I have two of the most beautiful children in the universe I makes it even more fun! (Totally biased opinion!!) It seems like yesterday we made our speedy way to the hospital to welcome Sarah into this world. She has filled our lives with even more love, laughter, and sweetness the way only a little girl can. Sarah loves her big brother and Luke loves her back although not quite as much :) God has blessed us this 1st year and I pray that she will continue to grow into a beautiful woman after God's own heart.

Birthday Month!

Well, here at the Bass house we don't like to celebrate just one day.....we celebrate about 2 weeks!! It has been a very busy couple of weeks and things are just now slowing down enough for me to post some pics of the BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY. Thank you to all of our friends who came and all of your generosity. For those of you too far away we missed you and wished you were here!
The party was sports themed since Luke loves anything that has to do with a ball. We had mini cupcake golf balls (although no one really understood what they were..they looked like white cupcakes with check marks- Nike swoosh- on them!), and big cupcakes decorated like soccer balls and baseballs. We had a bounce house, croquet, corn hole, putt putt, and pick up ducks and a pool of balls for the babies. And the biggest hit was.....THE SANDBOX and pick-up ducks!!!! Oh well, fun was had by all. Sorry I didn't take many pics b/c I was sort of busy, but my friend Becca took some but I don't know how to get them on here!! My m-n-law is also making me a cd of hers so hopefully I will have more later!

Fun at the Lake

A few weeks ago we had a fun time with Aunt Amy at the Caney Fork Dam and the Floating Mill Boat dock park!

Video of Sarah Walking

Sarah's started walking...check it out.

Sarah is 11 months old today!!

What happened to my little baby girl?!! She is now a fun lovin', lil' miss indepentent, walking, talkin' sweet heart! Yes..you read it right..she took her first steps this weekend! She can take about 4-5 steps before she gets so excited that she gets ahead of herself :) What a wonderful 11 months it has been! We are so blessed!

All Boy!

There's nothing like seeing a little boy playing barefoot in the water!

For All You Star Wars Fans Out There...

A recent video of Darth Vader playing golf...Enjoy

Fantastic Video

You've got to take 5 minutes and watch this video. It's worth your time. I'd love for us to do this at FBC, but we can't control our lights b/c we have stained glass windows.

Enjoy...

My 5k Run

At 30 years old, I ran my first ever race today...the Fiddler's 5k.

My time was 29:49. It was a difficult course with a lot of hills.

Here's some pics.


Coming across the finish line...

Luke was my biggest fan. He was waiting for me just past the one mile mark and then again at the finish line...


This is the group of guys from the church who ran the 5k...

This is the last round of pics I took off of my camera. I don't have enough time today to do more indiviual post so I'm dumping everything on here. This is our Flordia vacation with my parents and BBQ for Roth and Jessica.

Becca- I hope your happy now!!! :)

A Day with Mamsie and Grandpa

When Mark's parents came to visit last month we had fun at a local boat dock with a great park! It had manual SNORTS! If you are not familar with what a snort is please read the book Are You My Mother.

Water Lovin' Baby

Sarah loves to splash in the water! I just make sure she has her own water!! (See next post!) Haha

Bare Bottom on the watertable

We enjoy playing outside, a lot! Since I am trying my very best to potty train Luke I thought it would be a great idea to have picnic and play outside in his underwear! Well, I think he likes going commando better!!! Just remember to not drink the water!

Zoo fun

Last month
we enjoyed our first trip to the Nashville Zoo with friends from church. It was very hot but I'm glad we went then instead of now because it is much hotter now! Luke liked holding hands with Emma and Juliana the best! Sarah and Graham kept each other company in the stroller:)

Mother's Day

Well, Mother's Day is always special because you are just so grateful for your kids, but I had a sick one this year. Luke has come down with a horrible rash and fever. the dr. thinks it's Scarlett Fever but isn't 100% sure. Bless his little heart!!! Keep him in your prayers please!
