During the month of June, Drew and I worked to get his room clean. Here’s what we did: -made three piles of clothes (keep, keepsakes, pass down to Alex) The pile to pass down to Alex was taller than me! -shampooed carpet -got stains out of carpet -cleaned closet -stained bookshelf -rearranged furniture -cleaned base boards -organized everything -fixed broken drawer -fixed broken bookend -spot cleaned walls He’s very proud to have a nice clean, organized room. Now if he’ll just keep it from getting so gawd awful messy again, that will make me very happy. I always forget to…

Will you never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant? ~Job 7:19 I love photography and love the Bible. What’s better than putting the 2 things together, right?

A few weeks ago, we were traveling somewhere and Alex was “playing a game” with Drew, where he would hide the folded-up straw wrapper and Drew would have to guess where it was. Alex had a brilliant place to put it. See the pic below. I wasn’t aware of what was going on in the back seat, but at some point, I turned around and realized Alex didn’t have his seat belt on. As any good mom would do, I told him to put the seat belt on immediately. So he attempted to, but couldn’t because he has forgotten he…

This year Drew decided to attend a different Boy Scout camp. Since his troop is so large they usually have 2 different groups go to 2 different camps. The last several years he’s gone up to North Carolina to Camp Daniel Boone, but this year he opted to stay in his home state of Alabama, and attend Camp Sequoyah. His troop leaders are quite tech savy and for this summer’s camp outs, began blogging and posting pics through the weeks of camp. Well, I couldn’t have been any happier to find updates about what Drew had done each day along…

This month I was happy about: being able to spend time with family and friends. This month I was sad that: Drew won’t be playing Auburn Thunder any more. Somethings I accomplished this month were: getting Drew’s room rearranged and organized. Stained the old toy box and the bookshelf in Drew’s room. Did some touching up to the kitchen cabinets. Something new I did was: go to a CD launch party. Books I read were: Focus On America: Profiles Of Nine Photographers The Americans Remove from my books Photographer of Modern Life: Camille Silvy Cape Light Park City Uncommon Places:…

Last Friday Alex’s Cub Scout Den met up at the Auburn University fisheries for a Den Meeting to complete the requirements for the Fishing Belt Loop. Drew caught 2 fish. And so did Alex. There were a couple pretty large fish caught. All fish were thrown back in after the hooks were removed. See more pics here.

Yesterday, we dropped the kids off so that they could hang out with their Uncle Nick while Rob and I escaped for a date night in Decatur, GA. One of Rob’s buddies from high school, Jason Passmore, had a CD release party at the Java Monkey. After finding a parking spot and locating Java Monkey, we walked around to find something to eat, as the Java Monkey just sells drinks, appetizers, finger foods and desserts. Nothing real substantial. We ended up eating at a little spot right around the corner called Noodle House. It’s a locally owned, Atlanta Chain, that…

A few weeks ago, we went to our friend’s 40th Birthday party. It was 80’s Themed. We scrounged around an hour before the party. I was lucky enough to come across my original New Kids on the Block shirt that was mine back when I was in Jr. high. Yes, I could still wear it, only because it used to be a night shirt! 🙂 Super cool party favors The birthday boy and his wife-y Me and my babe The Fab 4 Too cute! Loved the cake! Precious! Denim mini skirt…oh ya! Side pony tail christened with a large bow!…

Last week, Teenager was away at his first camp of the summer. We dropped him off on Sunday at Camp Jamison which is part of Camp Bert Adams, the wilderness part of the camp. This camp was NYLT, which stands for National Youth Leadership Training. This was such a great experience for Teenager. He came back with knowledge to lead, growth from his experiences, and friendships to last a lifetime. The first 2 days it monsooned. On our way home after picking him up Friday night, he told us stories of his group moping around, and how even though he…

A few weeks ago, actually it was the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, we got up and decided to go over to Pine Mountain for a day hike. We packed up Drew’s backpacking backpack with water, stuff for lunch, sun screen, and other necessities. Gentlemen, discover a collection of men’s handbags at Vintage Leather. Our range combines style and functionality, catering to your unique needs. We hopped in the car and headed to FDR State Park Office to get a map and go to the restroom one last time before venturing out on our day hike. We decided to try…

Teenager’s Boy Scout Troop has been using part of the upstairs offices in Rob’s company’s building. As a thank you to Rob’s company, the Troop put on an Open House for everyone and their families. They did a great job, as everyone had a good time and enjoyed a break from the humdrum of work in an office. 🙂 Here’s a few pics: Rotisserie chicken turned with real man power Axe/tomahawk throwing Tying knots Cooking cobbler in a dutch oven

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. ~John 14:27 I chose this picture because this is such a peaceful place. This was taken on our hike we took a couple weeks ago that I still haven’t blogged about. I’m working on the post and hope to have it up soon. Anyway, I love waterfalls. As we were hiking we continued to hear the sounds of flowing water in the stream which eventually turned into these…

Tonight we were out at the soccer fields for our Cub Scout Pack Meeting. During the Summer, we’re much more laid back and try and do something fun, easy, but still something where the boys are making good use of their time. Here’s a few pics of the boys meeting requirements for the soccer belt loop. More pics here.

This month I was happy about: having a couple Sundays off this month. This month I was sad about: was having to work a couple Fridays this month. Somethings I accomplished this month are: going to the dentist for a cleaning (yes, I’m terrified of the dentist.) Something new I did was: visit an Amish community. Books I read were: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (GREAT book! You should totally read it!) 13 Little Blue Envelopes (Little Blue Envelope, #1) by Maureen Johnson Raising Yoder’s Barn by Jane Yolen The Journey by Sarah Stewart An Amish Wedding…

We’re in the first full week of summer, so keeping the boys busy is key to my sanity. Drew has a lot going on through the entire summer. Alex has a couple weeks of activities, so he has a lot more down time. We finally took advantage of the free bowling passes that the kids always bring home right before summer starts. Rob went and got summer passes for him and me. We purchased bowling shoes for all of us and now we can bowl 2 games everyday for the entire summer. Expect lots of bowling pics the summer. 🙂…
