Mullen Family

Cade and I went swimming over at The Mullen's today! We had a blast! All 3 of those girls are just crazy which means never a dull moment. When Delaney opens her mouth you just never know what is going to come out!!! I LOVE it! The line that stuck with me today was - - Delaney did you put deodorant on? Her response: Girl no and it be smelling sour up in here! (as she sniffs her pits) The girl has no shame in her game and that's why I love her! I'm praying now, not only for her dear mother but all the middle school teachers!!!
     On a serious note I love this dear family SO MUCH!! They have just always been there for me! My first year to teach in Whitehouse I was truly blessed to have Delaney in my class. I'll NEVER forget, about the end of the 1st six weeks, Melody had requested a parent - teacher conference...I was a little nervous at first cause I thought hmm Delaney is an all A student and never gets in serious trouble... I sure hope there's nothing I've done. Melody walked in with me a big sweet tea (my favorite) and we just sat and chatted. I thought it was awesome that she really had no major concerns but just wanted to get to know her child's teacher and to let me know that she supported me! WOW if only we had more parents like that!!! Ever since Melody & I have been the best of buds! I was blessed again with a Mullen girl, Marley, 2 years ago.  Poor Marley didn't have me at a real great time . . . I was pregnant with Cade and put on bedrest halfway through the year! I don't know how I would have made it through both of those years because they were tough... new school district and then going through a rough pregnancy... if it hadn't been for Melody! Melody, I hope you know how much I appreciate you!
     I can't close on a serious note!!! Thinking back on all this made me remember something that Delaney asked me once... they had came to visit me at home when I was on bedrest and Delaney looked at me very seriously and said, "Mrs. Turner, can you still fit on the toilet?" ONLY Delaney would ask such a thing! Marley on the other hand was very upset with Delaney for asking me that because she was afraid Delaney had hurt my feelings! ROFL!!!

Here is a video of my big boy swimming today with floaties on!
