Friday Funnies

It's been a while since I have joined Kim at Homesteadersheart for Friday Funnies.... I came across this and just had to join the fun this week.

Hop over to Kim's and get some more laughs!

Happy weekend everyone! :)

A man and a woman go to the carnival every year. Every time the man says,"Anna can we ride them airplanes that goes up for a couple of minutes then comes back down?"

The woman always replied by saying,"We don`t need to spend any extra money on them airplanes,its to expensive.Ten dollars is ten dollars."

Tom, the pilot, said," Larry, every year I hear you say you want to ride my airplanes, and every year Anna says it`s too expensive. I`ll make you a deal, if I do all of my flips and tricks with you in there with me, and you don`t say one word, I`ll give you the ride for free."

Anna and Larry discussed it and decided they would take the deal.They got up in the air and Tom did all of his tricks and flips.

Tom said,"Larry I just knew you`d say something on that first flip,but you didn`t!"

Larry replied," I was going to say something when Anna fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

rethinks

I am the type of person that likes instant gratification! Can anybody relate? I love to do home improvement projects and really love the ones that are quick and easy. I love to go to Goodwill and Salvation Army to find things that need "rethinking".

Here are a few things I have found so far this summer.... I will only show you the before now because I am to lazy to take the after pictures right now....hehehehehe!! Stay tuned :)

Meet poor Mr. Squirrel.... this baby has been in my Mother-in-laws basement for YEARS! My hubby and I went plundering one day and found him. My Son's room is done in a hunting theme so I thought Mr. Squirrel would be tooooo cute! FREE! Remember, this is before!

Next, we have old yucky pot.... this was in my Mother-in-law's garage and she told me to take it...FREE.... again.... before!

And last, we have a not too bad buffet lamp... bought at Goodwill for $5.00

Stay tuned for the after pictures :) I will post them soon.

Have a great Thursday!!!

All star Annalee

It has been so long since I have posted about our happenings.... We have been so busy!

Annalee made the all-star softball team this year and we have been hitting the ball field a lot! Her first tournament was this past weekend and they did soooo good!

Her team is called the Explosion and they came in 1st against all-star teams and 3rd against travel ball teams!

She had so much fun and is now hooked! Momma and Daddy sweated like pigs but it was so worth it to watch her having fun. We were at the ball field for 13 hours! Fun, fun!

She has another tournament this weekend.... Friday and Sat. I will keep you posted on how she does! :)

I also had to return a cat toy that my daughter had bought. We had used a $2.00 off a $5.00 purchase on the pet isle.

Later that same day I took the kids by McDonald's for a Ice cream cone and decided to get me one of the yummy Mocha Frappacinos....I ordered a small Mocha(we were in the drive thru). When I got it it was a Caramel.... Yuck.... I went back in and told them nicely that I ordered a Mocha... and they gave me a Large one for my trouble!!! Yummy!

It was a fun frugal day! :)

Poor Daddy

This will be a quiet weekend at the Scarbary house..... Daddy had some dental work done this morning. He is snoozing as I type. It is so pitiful to see him not feel great. Hopefully he will be back to himself soon!

Annalee has made him some signs to hold up since he can't talk right now. Isn't that the sweetest! I think we will rent some movies later and have a quiet evening!

We love you daddy and hope you feel better soon!

Happy weekend!

Happy Birthday, Josh!

Today is my sweet boy's 15th Birthday!!!!

I can't believe it!

Happy Birthday, Josh! I am so proud of you and love you to pieces!!! Thank you for making your Momma laugh all the time!!!! You are a precious gift from God and it still feels weird to have to "look up" at you now! That is so not right!!!!

Have a wonderful Birthday!!!!!

I love you ...

Momma :)

6 updates!!!

There are 6 new updates below!!! Thanks for taking time to check on us!!!!

Time to brag!!

This school year has been such a busy one for my kids, especially Annalee.

I have been so proud of all her accomplishments this year. With her 11th birthday being last week, I decided it was a great time to brag on her a little!!!!

1. She PASSED the CRCT with flying colors!!!!

2. Her portfolio paper on the state of Georgia scored the highest out of 83 fifth grade papers! Her teacher said she honestly could not find a single problem with the paper! She scored a 5's all the way across the Rubric scale.

3. She meet the standards for her State mandatory 5th grade writing test. She had to go to a testing sight, was given her topic to write on and had to develop her idea, write the rough draft, and write the final draft in 2 hours. She did great!

4. She finished all the requirements to move on the Middle school!!! (there were too many to list!) She is now officially a 6th grader!

5. Her softball team won every game and are League Champions!

6. She made the All-star team and will play in several tournaments this summer!

7. She completed her year in Bible Study Fellowship and studied the whole book of John!

Annalee,

You have worked so hard this year and all your hard work has paid off!!! I am so very proud of you!!!!!

love, Momma xoxox

P.S. This friday is Josh's birthday..... I will brag on him them also!!!! hehehe :)

Happy Birthday!!

Today is my sweet girl's 11th Birthday! Boy does time fly!

Annalee,

We are so proud of you and all that you have accomplished this year. You are truly a blessing from the Lord and we thank him every day for such a wonderful gift. We pray that you will continue to grow in your love for Jesus as you have this past year!

Spring fun

My hubby and I love to work in the yard. We love to buy things off the "distressed" rack and watch them thrive at home!

Here are a couple of my flowers we have in our yard.... bought off the "distressed" rack!

When we bought our house 3 years ago..... there was little to no yard... Dean and Josh have been working hard to get some grass growing. Their hard work is beginning to show!!!
Here they are getting ready to spread some more seed!

Here is my sweet girl washing the van.... she is always busy doing something!!!

League Champions!!

We are so excited for Annalee! She has really worked hard this season in softball and really loves to play!

Her team, the Lightning, won the League Championship!

On the way home after the team party she said that she was sad that is was over and she wanted to play softball during the summer. That evening her coach called and told her she made the all-star team! She was soooo excited! We are so proud of her and look forward to seeing her work hard.

She had her first all-star practice last night and it whooped her hiney!!!! It is so different than rec. ball..... but she loved it !!!

Way to go Annalee!!! You have worked so hard this year on so many different things and we are so poud of you!!!!

Easter 2010

My kids.... Josh is in need of a serious haircut!!!!

Cherry Blossom Festival 2010

Each year in March we have the world famous..... Cherry Blossom Festival. We love to go downtown and get free Cherry ice cream, cherry coke and ride the free horse and buggy. We usually do it 2-3 times that week. Hey...... I love anything free! :)

Can you see the kids little faces?

Annalee eating her yummy Cherry Ice Cream

We also got to see these cute Sea lions do their show... it is amazing how they are trained to do tricks.... Annalee loved this part!

Annalee decided she wanted a new doo.... so here we have....

The new Annalee! At first I didn't want her to get it cut... but after all,,,, sometimes Momma has to let her do things on her own... one thing about it.... it will grow back ... but... I love it!! It is so much easier for her to take care of it. What do you think?

I would have more pictures of my son.... but he is now officially to cool for the camera! Teenage boys!

Atlanta Motor Speedway

I can't believe how behind I am with blogging! We have been so busy with school responsibilities.... but our hard work paid off!!! More about that later....

Now... to catch you up with the many happenings of the Scarbarys!!!!

We took the kids back to Atlanta Motor Speedway... I think it was in March?!

My son and hubby love NASCAR so we took the opportunity to go to the race on a Saturday. It is really interesting to watch all that goes on. Annalee and I sat the whole time with the binoculars. The weather was beautiful! We took our nephew this time and he in now officially hooked!

The kids waiting to go in the gate.

Josh and his favorite driver, Jeff Gordon.



Annalee likes Joey Logano




and of course.... Daddy and Clarke like the girl!!!! This drives Josh crazy!!! Dean loves to aggravate him :)
