We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas this year!! Jerry and I had a wonderful 1st Christmas together. Santa got me everything I wanted. Christmas day is always a very busy day for us, we have all our fun in one day. We spend the whole day with family and friends, all we do is eat, give out gifts, and talk about all the goings on in the world. I think I am very lucky to have a family like mine. I hear so many story's about how people get together on Christmas with family and all they do is fuss and fight with each other, I can gladly say my family is not one of those. I am just thankful to have a family like I do!!!! I have a very big family and I have always said the more the marrier. I couldn't ask for any better then what I got!!!! Jerry is not used to big family's but I think he getting the hang of it, he fits right in. The first year he came with me for Christmas he was so nervous and now he just goes with the flow. My mema always picks on him cause he pulls for Tennessee Volunteer's and we all pull for the gamecocks, it's so funny cause they go back and forth with each other all the time. (thats why I named my blog the volunteer gamecock) To wrap this up I had a great Christmas and I just want to say thanks to everyone for everything and I hope you have a great New Year!!!
Love ya

Ashley & Jerry & Me

He is so funny

Merry Christmas

We just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!!! This is a special Christmas for Me and Jerry... It is our first of many Christmas's together.I think it will be neat to wake up on Christmas Morning and Jerry and I open our gifts from each other and I can't forget about the dogs yes they have present's too!!! After we get done with our Christmas we will get ready and go to Mama & daddy's, We will open gifts there and then we go to mema & papa's. This is where we eat the best Christmas lunch ever, then open gifts. I just hope that big fat man in red knows I have been good this year and leaves me all kinds of goodies.....

while I was cooking last night I was thinking about how me and Ashley used leave santa cookies and milk before we went to bed and we always sleep together Christmas night. I would get up and tip toe down the hall way with a flash light at all hours of the night to see if santa had been there yet..... Once I seen that he was there I would wake up Ashley and she would say what time is it I would tell her it's 4:30AM and she would tell me to go back to bed for a little while. Well i tried to go back to sleep but I could'nt so at 5:00AM I got up and told Ashley that I was going to get my santa claus with or without her. Needless to say she knew I was not going back to sleep so we woke up mommy and daddy at 5:00AM... All the great Christmas memories I have.

Just remember the REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!!!!!!!
love ya

Prayer in school

New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME)!


Since the Pledge of Allegiance
and
The Lord's Prayer
are not allowed in most
public schools anymore
Because the word "God" is mentioned...
A kid in Arizona wrote the attached


NEW School prayer :


Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.


If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.


Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.


For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.


We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.


We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.


It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
