Ice Storm

Here are some pictures of the ice storm and our yard!


Front corner of our yard.




Yummy Cookies!

If you haven't ever had my mom's sugar cookies, you are missing out on the BEST cookies you'll ever eat! Growing up and even to this day my mom makes TONS of them throughout the year, but especially at Christmas time. She wanted to start a tradition with her grandkids that they set out a day to make sugar cookies and frost them, so since I am the only one with kids (so far), she came to my house this year to do it. Drew had an absolute blast!!! He really REALLY like the sprinkles!! They were his favorite. He also didn't mind eating the cookies too! Here are a few shots from that day!


Please notice the amount of sprinkles on the cookie tray (and in the frosting).

Helping Mamaw

Lots of sprinkles!!

Rock and roll!!

Our "New" Blog

So, we basically just had to change our url because we aren't "The Turner Trio" anymore.....there are four of us now!

So, these are the lyrics that our blog is "named" after! Great song and describes us very well! Sometimes our lives are completely chaotic, but at the end of the day we are still shooting for the same goal and we have been very blessed to have what we have!

Just Another Day in Paradise by Phil Vassar

The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman bringing
That stack of bills - overdue
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it.
I promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things

Well, it's ok.
It's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Well, there's no place thatI'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise

Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, plan B looks like
Dominoes' pizza in the candle light
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
Can me and my teddy
Come in to sleep in between?

Yeah it's ok.
It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place thatI'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise
Well, it's ok.
It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise
For just another day in paradise
Well, it's the kids screaming.
The phone ringing
Just another day
Well, it's Friday.
You're late
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise
