Oh yeah, the Super Bowl was last night too! How could I forget??? That's a woman for you. :) Or at least this woman.
No worries...I won't be forgetting about the Daytona 500 coming up. It's getting closer, I can almost smell it!!! AHHHH, and that is one good smell. :)

It's Monday, Already
The weekend was a blur...lots going on.
It all started on Friday with the Men's Conference at FBCW. Wow, is all that can be said! Over 8,000 men coming together for an awesome conference. Jake was super busy with the recording of the sessions, overseeing the duplication, and all Dad's product sales. I guess I could have been helping, but the "girls" all decided to go out. I didn't want to miss anything, so I went with them. :) Us going out has become somewhat of a tradition while the guys are at the Men's Conference each year. The conference continued Saturday until around 12:30. After most of the men had cleared out I did go hang out with Jake some. The Lord greatly blessed the conference, and we are grateful for that!
Sundays have always been busy days for me growing up in a Pastor's house and they still continue to be busy days. This past Sunday was a full day. We had the priviledge of having Mike Huckabee visit our morning worship services. He gave an awesome testimony of Jesus saving him and changing his life. He went on to say how that was the most important thing that has ever happened to him...how being elected Governor was an honor, but not above his salvation. It was great to hear this from a Presidential candidate. There was lots of excitement surrounding his visit. Mom took some pictures and even one of Miss Priss with Mike Huckabee, you'll have to see those on her blog. Miss Priss always sits on the front row with Mom on Sunday mornings, so this week it was Mom on one side and Mike Huckabee on her other side.
On top of all that BBC was at the church this weekend recording Dad and our services for a special they are putting together about Mega-Churches in the U.S. They had a recorder on Dad from the time he arrived at the church until he left that afternoon. It recorded everything he said and all that was said to him. That so made me want to go up and tell Dad some kind of crazy stuff! I also thought it was pretty funny that it even went to the bathroom with him! HaHa This had all been planned before we found out about Mike Huckabee visiting, so there sure were alot of video cameras and photographers around between BBC and the media.
On top of all the hoopla, Dad had an awesome message. We also were celebrating the fact that it has been 1 year since we started the 11:00 service in the chapel. This week it was jammed packed and chairs had to put in the aisles. We have seen awesome growth and excitement about what's to come.
None of this would be possible without the Lord and His blessing! Our family starts this week being grateful! Grateful not just for a wonderful weekend, but a wonderful life God has blessed us with and great friends to share life with.

Happy Birthday Addie!
Today was Addie Bug's 4th birthday. We started celebrating Saturday with a big Princess party (see Hollie's blog for details and pictures) and worked up to the big day today. Tonight me and Miss Priss went with Hollie, Pete, Hope and Addie to the American Girl Bistro for dinner. It was so cute and the food was good too! They made a special cake just for Addie. I got a few cute pictures of the girls...check out the one of Addie with her new Juicy Couture purse. Yeah, that was from DeeDee!
Happy Birthday Addie! We Love You!

Fun Friday Night
A little healthy competition is always good!
After a delicious dinner at P.F. Chang's, we went to Andretti's to play some games and race go-karts. SO FUN!!! You know how we are about racing, and since it's off- season right now we got a little "fix" last night. Or maybe we just made ourselves more anxious for our racing to get back started.
The kids raced on the junior track first. Then came the real racing. Jake, Taylor, Jody, and Brian were pumped. Me, Lindsey, Kim, and Tonya were looking hot in our helmets! After the 1st race Jake aka "Snake" was on top of the speed chart! I don't really remember the order after that! Jake just made sure I remembered who was #1. Miss Muffin, Strawberry Shortcake, RaceGurl, Ms. Thang, T-Pain 98...these were some of our "race names". Here's a few pics we couldn't resist.

We're Back...And We're COLD
We flew out of the 80 degree weather and we're back in the 30 degree temps! We had a wonderful trip to the Bahamas. The kids had more fun at Atlantis than about any resort we've ever been to. We stayed in the new tower The Reef at Atlantis, and loved it. Our suite was spacious and had the decor we love. I have a few pictures of the kids and Jake going down some of the slides and hanging around the resort, but I didn't take alot of pictures. Guess I was too busy soaking up the sun.
Where will we go next??!! After flying home on a small, regional jet, Jake hears PCB calling our names or at least somewhere we can drive to! Flying is not our favorite thing to do...but if it takes you to exciting, warm places it's worth it.
Spring Break is right around the corner...I'm already making my plans!

All Sunshine Here...No Snow
So we hear there was more snow in the ATL today. We did see some sleet early this morning...on our way to the airport at 6:45 am. Early!! We took a 9:45am flight out of town to the Bahamas. We arrived here at 11:40am to sunshine and 82 degrees. It was amazing!
We are at the Atlantis for several days to hang-out. The kids had a couple days out of school, so we decided to take advantage of that. Lots of new stuff has been added to Atlantis since we were here last...2 new towers and lots of more waterslides. The kids are pumped about the slides...I'm pumped about the weather! :)
I'm sure I'll have more to say later about our trip, but for now I'm so tired I can hardly type. Not everyday do I get up before 6:00 in the morning.(no where near that time actually) Stay warm!
