Me: Hey babe, can you get me a diet coke? Alex: Sure Mom, I’ll get you a dieing coke! Alex: Mom, I know a secret. Me: Someone told you a secret? Alex: No I have a secret. Me: Oh, is it good? Alex: I have 2 pimples on my butt. Me: You do? You mean your bottom? Alex: Yah, they’re big and brown. Me: Those aren’t pimples. Those are big freckles called moles. Alex: No, they’re pimples! Alex: Mom, when were you born? Me: 1975 Alex: Did they have cars back then? Me: Yes, although, computers and cell phones weren’t…

How is it the end of another month? I’m just flabbergasted! Time goes by so quickly when you look back. Anyway, here’s my post about February! This month I was happy about: getting a free meal for Valentine’s Day. This month I was sad about: my sis-in-law moving and the situation with Mr. Penny. Somethings I accomplished this month are: finishing editing the wedding that I photographed in January! Something new I did was: keep my niece for 3 days. Books I read were: The Help, but I actually had to give up on it. I’ll try it again later.…

I was a total slacker last week, when it comes to my daily photo-taking. I’m trying to do better this week! 24. Pinewood Derby This year we spent about a week on his car, not a month like last year. He got 2nd for his Den. Not to shabby.

Crossed I was looking around the house for something to snap for this one. I found this and loved the way the pic turned out for it. What’s this thing called? The name of it has slipped my mind and it’s driving me crazy! A Glimpse I originally chose this picture because it showed a glimpse into this popular downtown hangout. Then, I noticed the reflection, where you see a glimpse of me! 🙂 Handwritten I enjoy participating in Postcrossing, where you send and receive postcards from all over the world. This is one of the first ones I received…

This past weekend we went with the cub scouts on a family trip to the McWane Center in Birmingham, Al. Such a fun place! Nearly all hands-on, very informational, just loved the place! If you ever travel to Birmingham, I recommend it. Anyway, so our family decided to get their early, so we’d have plenty of time to see all 4 floors. We were able to get through all the floors in about 5 hours and that was really allowing the boys time to stay at some of the exhibits for awhile, not just skimming over everything. We met as…

12.Frost 13. Cousins 14. My Niece on Valentine’s Day 15. Daisy Daisy decided she needed to lay on the couch with me, so she invited herself up. It was just too cute not to take a pic of so I had Alex go get my camera so I could snap a few shots. 17. Baseball Friday afternoon the boys and I went the AU Baseball game. This was a shot that Drew took! 18. Night at the Museum Saturday we went to the McWane Center for a Cub Scout Trip. I’m working on a post for that. We slept under…

Love Here you see my gift from Rob for Valentine’s Day. Keep an eye out for the funny story that goes along with this. Duplicated This weekend we went on a cub scout trip to the McWane Center in Birmingham, AL. What an awesome place! It’s a science museum that covers many types of sciences. I’ll be posting about this soon too. Anyway, the bottom floor was a favorite of many of the scouts. I love the Jelly Fish! Trend Trending locally for me this weekend was AU Baseball. The boys and I went to the first game Friday afternoon.…

This year the Friday before Valentine’s Day we had a lovely dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. Rob’s company paid for our dinner so we enjoyed a full 3 course meal. Here’s what we had: Appetizer: Wild West Shrimp Main Entres: White Cheddar & Bacon Stuffed Filet (me) Mashed Potatoes Mixed Green Salad Bacon Wrapped Filet (Rob) Seasoned French Fries Steakhouse Mac & Cheese Dessert: LongHorn Dessert Sampler It was an amazing dinner and we practically rolled out of there we were so full! Had leftovers to boot. So on Valentine’s Day, I surprised him with gift hampers tasmania. I got a…

This week was been a whirlwind! One of our nieces, ‘Toady,’ stayed with us this week. Her parents (Rob’s sister and her hubby) are preparing to make a big move across country, so we agreed to keep Toady, who’s the oldest of three children. Every morning we would get up and I drove her about 45 miles to her Pre-K class. I hung out at their apartment for the 3 hours that she was there and then I’d pick her up and we drove back to Auburn. It’s been fun to be able to get to know her better. She’s…

5. Interesting Hanger: After folding clothes, I pulled out some hangers and noticed this one. Made me laugh. 6. Pine Hills: Monday, I visited a very old cemetery here in Auburn. There are many well known names in the Auburn community buried there. I got some awesome pics that I’ll be using in a post when I get done editing, researching, and writing! 🙂 7. 2016 Graduation Requirements: When Drew brought this home yesterday, I nearly broke down in tears! I can’t admit to myself that next year he will be considered a high school student. I don’t for sure…

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’ve noticed many of my blogger friends have been linking up with From Mrs. to Mama. I decided to do it as well. Picture from each year we’ve been together. 🙂

29. Magnolia Cherry Blossom Tree: I love these trees. I really want some in my yard. 30. Drive by shooting: Photography that is. 🙂 With some editing in Picnik. 31. RBD Auditorium: I’ve always thought this room would make for some really cool pics. I finally got around to taking some pics of it, because soon these seats will be ripped out and this will become a computer lab. I had a class in this room a few weeks ago and these seats are dreadfully uncomfortable. See more pics of the auditorium here. 1. Rain: It seems to rain here…

Strike a Pose This is one of my awesome student workers, Marci. She was sporting her BAZINGA shirt (Big Bang Theory) the other day and I just couldn’t resist having her strike a pose. Thanks, Marci! So cute! Footwear These are not my “go to” shoes, but I like them because I usually always wear black shoes. I get excited when I put together an outfit that I can wear these. Pretty comfortable too. Hobby Reading is a hobby I try to embrace. I’ve a pretty slow reader most of the time and my comprehension has never been great. As…

WARNING: Bathroom Story So my first silly story is about something that just happened to me here at work. This lady comes up to the Circulation desk and talks to my student worker. I noticed that she had a look of disgust as she was talking. She walks off and my student worker tells me that one of the women’s bathroom is disgusting and that she can’t even use 4 of the stalls. Luckily that bathroom has 8 stalls. I get up to go see what she’s talking about. I’m like “wow, wonder what I’ll find in here.” I’m visualizing…

This month I was happy about: getting a “Leading Performance (exceeds expectations)” on my 1st end of the year evaluation at my job. This month I was sad about: Rob being sick. Something I accomplished this month was: just surviving! I had 2.5 days of Rob in the hospital and 3.5 days of Rob being gone working an Emmaus Walk. Now for many of you, you’re thinking woop-de-do, but my work schedule and the kids’ school schedule don’t jive at all. I’m so thankful for my friends who helped me out during those days. Something new I did was: photograph…

As I said on my post for the Scavenger Hunt, I told you that I’m struggling. What I didn’t mention was that in this new year, I can’t get into groove for anything! I absolutely despise that. So this week you can see I didn’t get many pictures. And this week I’m not doing any better so far. 🙁 Maybe I just need to not worry with this project this year… 22. Lego House: This is the 2nd Lego House that Alex has made. This set makes 3 different houses. Pretty cool. 23. Shining Through: Trying to be positive 24.…

I am in such a rut right now photography-wise. Blah! Part of it is I’m rushing right here at the deadline to get pics done. I want to be creative, but these last few weeks have been too dang hectic. This week isn’t lookin’ much better. Smile This weekend I pulled out a box of some of my old miniature toys. I think this is a miniature from Strawberry Shortcake? I like her smile. I tried to get a pic of one of my boys smiling over the weekend, but they weren’t too cooperative with what I was trying to…

“Maybe now that I’m 14, I don’t get tired. -Alex (He says this after saying he’s got so much energy and can’t believe he’s not tired after staying up so late). If only this was true; that the older we get the more energy we have! Why doesn’t it work this way?

I am in shock that 14 years ago today was one of the biggest days of my life. They day I gave birth to my 1st child. The day that would forever change me in so many good ways. The day I would realize how much love I could have for 1 individual. I love being able to celebrate birthdays with the boys, but this year I get a little sick to my stomach realizing how with each year he earns more responsibilities. Mainly, next year at this time he will be able to get a driving permit. Did I…
