in the moment

A friend of mine made a FaceBook post that got me thinking, I went to bed thinking about it and woke up in the middle of the night thinking about and when I got up in the morning thinking about.

Her post, "if I could turn back time."  I comented back with "if I could find away" (the song by Cher). This post really got to me and after the Cher song was out of my head I couldnt stop thinking.

I thought about it....

If I could turn back time, I would have done this.
If I could turn back time, I wouldn't have done that.
If I could turn back time, I would have dated this person.

If I could turn back time, I wouldn't have dated that person.

If I could turn back time, I would wouldn't have moved to another state.

If I could turn back time, I would have did things different in high school.

If I could turn back time, I would have done better in college.

If I could turn back time, I would have worked harder.

The list can go on and on, but if I could turn back time my life wouldn't be as it is today. I'm so happy that God has a plan for me.

I have a wonderful husband!

I have 3 crazy wonderful kids!
Most importantly I said, I DO to Jesus, to follow him!

So, now I don't want to turn back time, I want to live in the moment that I have been given.

school 2012-2013

This school year we had two Evans kids going to school at South Elementary.  Emma in 1st grade and Peyton in kindergarten. Hayden went to First Baptist Child Development Center We had three every excited kids, ready to start the school year off. Ready to learn, make new friends and play. 

Hayden's fist day was a breeze, no crying from Hayden when Robert and I dropped him, (mommy a little bit of crying as she was walking of the room). When we pick him he was full of smiles, so much to tell us. Hayden enjoyed his days at school, made friends, played hard every day, when weather was good he came home with shoe full of sand, pockets full of acorns, had to give a daily good bye hug to Ms. Darlene, learned to count, colors, shapes, songs. During the school year Hayden was sent home twice with notes saying he bitten a friend. Hayden loved his days at First Baptist and is ready for Pre-K. Hayden for just being a kid you rock!

Our Little Peyton starting kindergarten, boy was she ready. Peyton watched for a year as Emma went to school every day, getting on the bus, coming with so many stories, Peyton wanted to do the same. Fist day of school Peyton had no problem saying good bye, she was asking me (mommy) to leave. Peyton worked hard her kindergarten year, her speech improved, hand writing got better every day, sight words she flow through. Peyton made many friends, one friend we hard about every day was a little boy named John. Peyton received her Kindergarten Diploma May 16th 2012, along with Jump Rope Award for jumping rope 9 time and also the friendship award, Peyton's teacher,  Mrs. Morgan, said  "Peyton is always a good friend!" Peyton Jo, we are so proud of you. Peyton, you are one smart little girl!



Emma went in to 1st grade like a pro, ready for what ever the day would bring. Emma loved her 1st grade year, learning to read, writing made up stories, being books from home to reading aloud to the class, art class, challenging math problems. Emma ended the school on the A and B honor roll all 4 grading periods, received encouraging words from Ms. Brooks " Emma always does her best every day!" Awarded a certificate for creative writing, jump rope award for jumping rope 24 times, from the PTA high flyer award saying "Emma follows all the rules and loves to help any way and anyone that she can!" Emma you are a super star!



Last day of school, after Kindergarten graduation. Robert and I took the girls out to Red Robin and to watch Avengers (the movie).

to be judge...

The girls have been coming home with fliers for a pageant, Little Miss South Side 2012. I have a BIG problem with this I don't want me girls to be judge on there looks. We, Robert and I, both want our girls to have strong self esteem.  We don't want them to be all about outer beauty.  We want our girls to be know for their character, their hearts, and their love for God.


Also, I couldn't even think about paying to enter the girls in to a pageant, $25 entry fee, $5 for each extra category or $40 for the entire pageant.  These young girls will be judged on most beautiful, best dressed, prettiest eyes, and prettiest hair. Each age group will have a queen and 4 alternates. I just couldn't pay to hear some one say my daughters aren't  pretty enough, or doesn't have the prettiest dress.

Robert and I tell our kids that they are prefect just the way they are because God made them and everything God does is prefect.
