Christmas Day was busy. We started off with homemade sausage balls and apple strudals. Then Rob and I looked in our stockings and the boys showed us what they had in their stockings, since that’s the one thing they can look at before Rob and I get up. Then the obligatory pics in front of… Read More »
Christmas Eve and the day before, I was busy baking and cooking. In the late afternoon of Christmas Eve, Alex performed in our church’s children pageant. He was a shepherd (without a headdress for some reason). Our preachers welcoming us. Afterwards, we went home to eat the Christmas Eve meal that I had prepared was… Read More »
Friday night we enjoyed our family date night in Columbus to see the Columbus Cottonmouths. They beat the Mississippi Surge 5-2. Here’s a few pics from the game. When the game concluded we were famished so we went to Carrabas for a yummy dinner. I found this quick highlight video.
Thursday afternoon Alex’s Cub Scouts went to church to help make up boxes for the food pantry. Our church provides food for those that are need every Friday and they make up all the boxes on Thursdays. He enjoyed being able to help others. After that we went to the hospital because his class collected… Read More »
Last night we attended Drew’s Troop Christmas Party. After dinner, the boys tried to stump the Scoutmaster by tying knots and then, he had to attempt to tie it. Needless, to say the Scoutmaster knows his knots. 🙂 Then the Scoutmaster reversed the playing field by stumping the Scouts with a couple games that showed… Read More »
For the past few months I’ve eluded to the fact that we’ve had issues in our kitchen. I haven’t wanted to talk about it, because it’s really consumed so much of Rob and I. We’ve never made a homeowners claim before, so we didn’t really know what to expect. At first we weren’t even sure… Read More »
Yesterday we headed out to Wetumpka to the tree farm we found last year. Somebody’s ready to cut one down! Alex says, “This one is just my size!” We quickly found this one. And decided to cut it down. The boys cut it down all by themselves this year. First time ever! Rob was happy… Read More »
This month I was happy about: getting the kitchen done! This month I was sad about: Auburn high losing in the 3rd round of the playoffs. Somethings I accomplished this month were: getting the kitchen done! Something new I did was: helping with the demolition of part of our kitchen and helping with installing new… Read More »
We recently purchased this beautiful wreath from our friends’ daughter who was selling these for the Girl Scouts. There’s nothing like the fresh smell of pine to get you in the mood for Christmas.
This Thanksgiving was a quiet one. With Rob’s Mom and Step Dad visiting Grandma in Florida and Rob’s sister living in Oklahoma now, it was just the 4 of us along with Rob’s brother, Nick. I managed to cook way too much of everything, but that’s ok. It was so nice to have running water… Read More »
How can you not love Lincoln Logs?
Drew’s high school, AHS made it to the 3rd round of the playoffs. Drew has been super excited that they continue to win, as he really wanted to perform (marching band) at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Unfortunately, that dream came to a grinding halt tonight. They had to play their rivals, OHS. AHS played horribly. Being out-coached,… Read More »
Saturday we decided to go hang out with our friends at the PIKE fraternity house on campus. We enjoyed smoked sausage, chicken, beans, potato salad, cole slaw, and cookie. SO yummy! We hung out and introduced Rob’s dad, who was in town, to everyone. He fit right in with all the football conversations. Alex pulled… Read More »
This month I was happy about: Alex’s good report card and good report from our parent teacher conference. This month I was sad about: the never ending cycle of crap with insurance and contractors (post to come). Somethings I accomplished this month were: prevailing with insurance company in getting a fair amount of money (post… Read More »
Here’s a couple collages with just a few pics from Drew’s game and Alex’s Game. They played great and pulled out big wins! See all the pics from their games HERE.
I don’t know what is going on this season with Auburn football! We’re having a shameful season and it’s just sickening. 2 years after being on top of the world after winning the National Championship, we find ourselves 1-6 with not much of hope of bettering that any. My heart aches for those players who… Read More »
