Slideshows on YouTube
Southpark Church has been a bustle of activity the past few months. Our friend and wonderful photographer has been capturing church events and families on film. He put together some slide shows for our Fall festival and another montage. Please take a look by clicking on the link at the right. You can view both videos from there or click on our pastor's link to see the latest 'commercial'. xo, S

Welcome baby Joel!!!!!
We are so excited to announce that our newest nephew, Joel Emmitt Ferguson (named after his uncle and great grandfather), was born today at 12:03 pm. He weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs and 6 ounces and was 21 inches long! Whoa! He will need 3-6 month clothes very soon I'm sure. He's still smaller than his daddy who was 9:15 and 23 inches!!! We're told mom and baby are both doing well. Although I'm sure that baby is feeling quite a bit better than momma. Their family has a new blog site. Click the link to the right to see how Joel grows, and grows, and grows, and grows... I'll post more details and pictures as I get them.

Tag, I'm it.
A good friend of mine has 'tagged' me which means that I'm going to have to write about what I was doing 10, 20, and 30 years ago. Gee, thanks Peggy! I'm not the writer she is but I'll give it a try....
Ummmm, let's see.... 10 years ago... 1997... that would make me 22 years old. I was waiting for Joel to ask me to marry him, which he did in December. I lived in OKC attending UCO for nursing school. I didn't like the school much having gone to OSU for 3 years previously. I lived with a gal I met at OSU who happened to be an old high school class mate of Joel's. I can't remember which job I had at that time. I think I was working in the office of a hospice care center. I pretty much studied all the time and spent as much time with Joel as I could. He was in Stillwater getting his engineering degree. Here's a picture of us at the Cass's wedding. I have very short hair and Joel looks like he is about 11 years old.
Okay... now for 1987... 12 years old...6th grade...here's where it gets fuzzy. I don't remember too much of this time. Hormones raging, boy crazy, dumb looking and awkward. First year of Jr. High. I remember standing in front of the mirror crying at my changing figure thinking that I was fat. I wish I still had that figure.... I hated being a teenager. Everything was so emotional and such a big deal. If you woke up with a zit, it was like the world was coming to an end... I had a step-dad that I needed (and still does) God so badly, but drank to drown his pain instead. I stayed in my room most of the time where everything was neat, clean, and organized. My little land of complete control! I loved watching Mama's family and Star Trek and Shark Week with my brother. We played Mario Brothers on Nintendo. My favorite memories are of Christmas and Thanksgiving with family. I believe this picture is around this time. The yearbooks are in the attic and I'm too lazy to get them down to check.
30 years ago I was only 2... I was sure cute if I do say so myself. This is a picture of me, holding my new baby brother with a cast on my arm (although you can't see the cast). This would have been in June, just before I turned 3. Apparently we had a mare with a new baby which I wanted to pet. I waited until my dad was busy behind the barn and my very pregnant mom went in the house to cool off, then I crawled in the pen. The mare must mistaken me for a threat and she kicked me. My dad found me laying in the pen, unconscious with a very bruised left leg and broken right arm. I spent a week in the hospital. I remember shadows of events there. There was a nice nurse there that happened to also be my mom's nurse when she delivered me. I received a set of books from her. My cousin Heather pushed me down the hall in a wheelchair and I got to take a bath with plastic around my arm. As a mother now, I can't imagine my parent's horror finding me like that!
Okay Peggy, there you go, I hope that will suffice! xo, S

Happy Fall Ya'll
We had a great time at our church's annual All Saint's Party. The kids ran around like they were insane and charged themselves up with candy. I'm surprised that no one barfed! Anyway, Lily actually won 2nd place in her age group costume contest. Her outfit wasn't anything great, but she did actually look like Boo from Monsters, Inc. We were hoping that Luke would win a prize. He looked so cute and Willa Rae worked so hard on his chef costume.
