Princess Karleigh Jo is 3

Hey Friends,

Thank you for spending a moment of your Saturday visiting with us. I hope you are staying warm on this cold January day. We are prepping and doing our best to be ready for the winter storm that is predicted to come our direction. I hope and pray that all of you stay safe!

Several days ago, we were on hand as Princess Karleigh Jo celebrated her third birthday. Mom and I were thrilled to be there for her special night. Karleigh was extremely excited about her party and everybody being there just for her!

We love our precious princess so much!! She brings so much joy to our lives. Her smile and laughter light up the room. I can not believe she is already three! Where has time gone?

 Karleigh also has a jokester side, like her Great Aunt. Kelly Jo and Karleigh Jo are quite the pair. It is hilarious to watch them work together. Courtney and I just shake our heads and laugh!

I will close with my pictures from Karleigh Jo’s third birthday party. See you tomorrow.

Foodie Friday - J Alexanders

Hey Friends,

I hope you are having a great day. We have had a good but eventful week. I will share more about it on a later day. Thank you for your continued prayers. We have needed them. 

It is time for another Foodie Friday installment. Today, we are rewinding to last Friday afternoon when we visited one of our favorite restaurants. 

J Alexanders was one of Dad’s top favorites! He especially loved their specialty prime rib. Dad always requested an end piece of the prime rib! 

We decided to enjoy a good meal with some family in memory of Dad. Also, Mom and I wanted to thank you a few people for helping us out so much!

Steve, Karen, Baby Carson, Lisa, Mamaw and Papaw were our dinner mates for the day. We had a wonderful time with family and reliving fond memories. All while enjoying scrumptious food. 
 

The meal started with appetizers of deviled eggs and spinach con queso.


Mamaw had to help Karen eat, while Carson drank is bottle. I hope Carson’s was prime rib flavored formula. 😂


Then we moved on to the entrees. A few of us had the prime rib. Mom has pork loin, a couple of our crew had a salad that looked too beautiful to eat and Papaw had a nice steak! The sides we chose were broccoli, smashed potatoes and a baked potato.

We all left well satisfied. Happy to have enjoyed our time at J Alexanders! I will close with the final food pictures for this post. 

I hope you do not ruin your device from salivating over this delicious meal! See you next time.

Throwback Thursday 1/2/2025

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by to visit with us. Today is Throwback Thursday. I went way back in the archives for these pictures. 

These are from Dad’s younger years. I thought you might enjoy seeing him as a boy and a young man. I love these photos!

Thank you, Lauren Osborn, for digitizing many old photographs for us. I treasure these pictures. 

See you tomorrow.

A Very Boggs Christmas 2024

Hey Friends,

2025

Welcome to 2025! Happy New Year. May God bless you greatly this year! 

We are walking and rolling, although I am walking on the inside 😊, in uncharted territory. Thanks for sticking with us as we figure out life!

Mom and I really appreciate the positive feedback on our Christmas YouTube video. Subscribe to the Boggs Family Ministries channel. Turn on your post notifications. We hope to post more videos in the future, and hopefully, YouTube will notify you when we post. 

Please pray for us. We desire wisdom, guidance and strength from the Lord. He is our daily help, and we depend on Him!

A Very Boggs Christmas 2024

Last Wednesday afternoon, we gathered at the fellowship hall next door to my house. There we had A Very Boggs Christmas 2024.

It was wonderful spending time with family. We laughed, cried, ate, and played music and games. 

Most of all, we cherished family time. These days, we hug our family tighter and more frequently. I am taking every opportunity to tell my family I love them! I refuse to take my family for granted! We are blessed to have a fantastic family surrounding us!

Gran and Papaw Morgan and Jacqueline Coffman joined us for the festivities. We love it when they grace us with their presence at a Boggs family function!

Breakfast was on the  Christmas dinner menu. Everybody contributed, and there were too many yummy dishes to name them. The meal was remarkable! 

Below are my pictures from Christmas Day 2024. I also included some more taken by different family members. I hope you enjoy them. 

See you next time.
