I have had a great birthday!!Really the last two weeks have been great!Two weekends ago, I surprised Amy and showed up in Nashville. We had a great time. I had to meet her at her Mommy's group at a Mexican restaurant. That was an interesting experience. I am SO glad that I am not a freak out Mom. These girls had one kid and were are driving their ( Read more... )

I did not realize that it had been this long since an update. Our summer is going well. I have actually enjoyed my kids being home. I out a schedule into place on day one so I think that is helping. Brayden and Finley are easy. Baylor is having a little more trouble. We are doing little lessons everyday. Our first theme was beach. We read beach ( Read more... )

Since my only reader is complaining about lack of updates, here we go. We had a great Spring Break. We had a great 7 bedroom house in Gatlinburg. All my siblings came as well as my grandparents. We surprised my dad for his 60th birthday! The kids loved it. We went wading in the river, went to the aquarium, the science museum and on the ski-lift. ( Read more... )

I love daffodils. I love when I am driving down the road and see the daffodils popping up. One reason, other than Christmas, I have no use for winter. So the flowers signal spring is near. Second, they remind me of my childhood. I especially love seeing them where it is obvious at one time, there was a home nearby. It just gets my imagination ( Read more... )

It has been a while since I have updated. Nothing really spectacular has been happening. Just the day to day things. Sam and I met with Brayden's teacher yesterday just to check on his progress.

Today, Sister turned 4! We had a great family party last night. Finley Grace wanted to have spaghetti and macaroni. So I decided to make pasta and have different sauces, one being the cheese sauce. She seemed pleased. She had a great princess cake that was supposed to serve 35-40 people. Well, we may have had enough left for 5 more people!!Is that ( Read more... )

Well, all the kiddies had a great morning. They are all cashed and asleep on this rainy afternoon. They must have all been good. At least by the look of all the trash sitting on the porch. Brayden got a Wii. I am not sure who is loving it more. We have had bowling tournaments, boxing matches, golf and even a dance revolution!!Maybe in a few days, ( Read more... )

Brayden turned 6 yesterday. He woke up to a decorated room. He only reminded us about 7 times Thursday. This was Sam's week off so we both got to go on Brayden's field trip to the Polar Express. We enjoyed our day with him. We told him we could eat anywhere last night. He chose Subway! We are going to have to work on that. But I actually didn't ( Read more... )

Why is that in life there are things that you look forward to, but they don't turn out exactly how you played it out in your mind. More than that, there are people that know how things are going to turn out and are laughing in their heads when you are telling them how things are going to go. Take this school year for instance. All three kids are ( Read more... )
