You are invited!

My church, Judson Baptist Church, is having our Open House this Sunday, February 8, 2009.  Instead of having 2 services like usual, we will be having one big service at 10:00 a.m.  It will be a great time for anyone to come and visit if you are looking for a church family.  

Also, from 2:00 p.m.-4:00p.m. everyone is welcome to come back and have refreshments and take a tour of our new addition to to our church building as well as other renovations that have been made.   It is a beautiful place that we can come to worship and now continue to grow our church family by utilizing the new facilities the Lord has provided and we would love for you to come and celebrate with the Judson family!

I hope to see you there!

I'm finally an Aunt!!!

...but just to clear things up, Ashlee or Laura Lee have not had kids in case I confused you.  Abigail "Ab

by" Grace Padot finally decided to grace the world with her presence on January 18, 2009 around 5:00 a.m.  She is so cute and I can't wait to see her in person.  She weighed 7 pounds and 6 ounces.  Wendy and Davey are going to be some of the best parents!

I've always cringed at the jokes about being called "Auntie Em" like from the Wizard of Oz, but little Abby is just so darn cute, I guess I will make the exception! 

Welcome home sweet Abby! ~1 4 3 ~Auntie Em

Girls Just Wanna Have fun!

Well, tonight was our second girl's night a.k.a Fat Friday with some girls from church and I must say I think we all had a fabulous time.  Thanks to Leslie for opening her home to all of us to come and hang out for a while.  We had such a great time and I was so glad to get to meet some new people.  I look forward to the next Girl's Night!

Here is a group pic of the gang!

Urgent Prayer Request

My best friend, Jessica Locklear,from college found out this week that her father was diagnosed with cancer this week in his back/spine. I don't know exactly what kind it is or anything like that, but please remember to pray for Ricky Locklear and his family. Bro. Rick is in excrutating pain. These people are like family to me and I know they would all appreciate your prayers.

Here are a few things you can pray specifically for:
*Pray for Bro. Rick while he is in so much pain.
*Pray for his family during this difficult time for rest, peace and endurance.
*Pray for the doctors and nurses that are taking care of him that God would give them the wisdom to know what to do and how to treat.

Project: Sweet Tea

This post is mainly for my sister Laura.  I've been wanting a Tea Maker for a while and don't know why I haven't just gone out and bought one, but thanks to Laura I am a proud owner of a Tea Maker.  

Now, there are two kinds of tea: 1) Sweet Souther Tea and 2) Nasty Tea (anything other than Sweet Souther Tea).   Now, normally it is scary business when I get in the kitchen and try to make mostly anything, but the one thing that I can make that is delicious is Sweet Tea!  

So I started out reading my directions for my Mr. Coffee Tea Maker to make sure I wouldn't blow it up on the first attempt.  I followed the directions just as it said and since I was trying new things I thought I would try using Splenda instead of real sugar.  I must admit I was a little nervous.  

A few minutes later, I had my first pitcher of Sweet Tea from the tea maker and I must say it was fabulous!  I look forward to the next glass!

Yummy Stuff! 

Thanks Laura!

Thanksgiving 2008

It's always this time of year that I'm the busiest...well, pretty much everyone is. All of this running around has left me no time to blog. I was able to go home for a whole week during Thanksgiving. I haven't been able to go home for a whole week since I was in college. It was so much fun. I was able to go and see several of my family and friends, stay up late and sleep in until whenever.

Me and Brandon eating at Shogun with Mom.

I always have fun at Dianna's house playing cards with her kids. Every time I come over there's always a house full of teenagers there and this was one crazy night of playing cards.

A trip to Amory without going to eat a Bill's Hamburgers is never an option. Dianna knows my usual order: 1 Cheeseburger WITHOUT, fries and Diet Pepsi! Bill's is kind of like the Cheer's restaurant--"Everybody knows your name"! So as always I ran into several people I knew, but I was super excited to run into Trey and his little boy Kaden. This was my first time to see him and he is such a cutie!

Another big treat for me while I was home was to get to see my sister, Ashlee and my favorite brother-in-law, Billy. Even though it was only for a couple of hours it was so great to see them.




And last but not least, I couldn't pass up this last picture and the story behind it. My mom has been keeping one of her student's cats for her for a while and for those of you who know me know my extreme dislike for animals. Well one night me and mom were watching a movie and the cat was sitting on top of the couch and I could sense he was starring at me. I looked up at him and noticed that his tongue was sticking out. I started laughing and asked mom why his tongue was sticking out and she said it's because he is missing his middle two top and bottom teeth! I could not resist getting a picture of that. This cat always has his tongue sticking out! Leave it to the Puckett's to have disfunctional animals!


Me and mom had a great little Thanksgiving with just the two of us. It was like I was the only child this weekend. Honestly though, I think I like being the center child much more! I can't wait until Christmas when the whole gang will be there.

You are invited...

...to come to my Christmas contata at Judson Baptist Church. There are 2 dates that are available for you to come-December 13 & 14 at 6:00 p.m. It is open to the public and you don't have to get tickets or anything, but I would strongly suggest getting there early.
I sing with my church choir and for the past few months we have been working on our music and so has our orchestra. The program is called "I Have Seen the Light" and I really believe it is going to be amazing.
Here is the address and map. I hope to see you all there. Look for me in the Alto section, which is on the right!

Yes, I've been a slacker!

I have lots to blog about and several pics to post, but I have been running around like a crazy woman! I promise to post soon!

Fun times babysitting

I always look forward to getting a phone call from my friends Joey and Courtney asking me to babysit their kids. I always have such a great time with them. I can always count on Brax to meet me a the door to tell me what movie he has picked out for us to watch. The I know I can count on Bri to be at her little table making a craft of some sort and little Bear to be close to his mom. We always have such a great time. Her are a few pics from the other night.

Little Bear is such a happy baby. He was laughing at everything.

It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing!

Well, it's been nearly 3 months since I've been able to go swing dancing with the girls and Noel. We always have so much fun. If you want to come join us sometime we would love to have you! It's at Otter Creek Church of Christ in Brentwood. It's great clean wholesome fun that and the best part is that you can come even if you've never done this before. They have a lesson from 7:00-7:30 and then after that you put your newly learned moves into practice. Plus it's only $7! They have a live Big Band that comes every other time to play so that's always cool. Here are a few picks from our latest swinging experience.

Me and Noel doing the Hip Dip
(Poor Noel, he is worn out by the end of the night because he rotates dancing with 5 girls all night)

Noel trying to explain to me how we were going to do the Floor Spin...it was tried and failed due to me being scared to death.

Me and the roomies, Amy and Jessica

When we were getting ready to go home, Jess was having some car trouble so we all gathered around to see what was going on. As far as me and car repair go, I'm not your gal, obviously!

Unfortunately we weren't able to fix Jess's car that night so all 6 of us squeezed into Amy's Vibe!

I look forward to the next Swing Dancing adventure with the gang! We would love for you to come too!
