I’ve been asked by people who don’t blog, don’t read blogs, etc…Why do I blog? Well, I started out bloggin’ to keep track of things going on in my life, kind of like a journal. Than, I just got where I write about things bothering me or crazy things I see or hear. I like to plug good links and good blogs. I use it now kind of for a free for all! I also love reading blogs! I’m so addicted to it! LOL! I don’t know why except that I feel like they’re my ‘friends’. People I can care…
Alright, I’m going to try and get caught up with my cruise stories. The first one consists of me, Drew, and Alex(the 3 of us) in the back seat of the Explorer. I was back there with them since Nick, Rob’s brother, was going with us. Both on the way to Tampa AND on the way back, my kids and I had some serious “bonding” time. If you’d like to call it that! 6-7 hours sitting hip to hip and hip to car seat is tedious, mind boggling, and priceless. Drew got all his make up work done, which was…
Here’s pics from the Auburn Game Saturday… You can click to see a larger version in Flickr! I took tons of pics so you can go here to see lots more!
Here’s pictures of Drews’s baseball game tonight. You can click on any pictures to go see all the pictures I took on Flickr. The shirt he got is an ADULT SMALL so that’s why it’s swallowing him!! 🙂
Drew had his 1st soccer game for the season today. Here a some of my fav pics:
I forgot to tell ya yesterday that yesterday morning when I got up and went into the bathroom, I was holding my breath. Knowing that a mouse might be on one of the sticky traps, I was scared. I turned the light on and my heart sunk when I saw the poor little mouse on the trap. I thought to myself, “well, we gotcha!” I stood there for awhile looking at it. She was starting to move. ICK! It made me so sad. I couldn’t bring myself to use the bathroom in there, so I went upstairs. After I got…
Yesterday Rob got home and asked me if I got his email. I said no. He said well I have a surprise for you. I asked “a good one or a bad one?” He said bad! So we go into the bedroom and he said open up the bottom drawer of the armoir. He said “open it up and and jump back”. So I did. When I opened the bottom drawer, there was a bunch of torn up tissue in the midst of Rob’s clothing. He told me to close it back. He said that morning, he heard scurrying around…
Well, we just found out that our cruise that is supposed to leave in 33 days was cancelled. They are using the Sensation, which was the ship we were going out on and 2 other ships for hurricane relief. Sooo…we’re trying to decide whether to just save that money for another vacation or book another cruise during that time. We’ve got several options, so we’ll probably end up rebooking out of Tampa or Jacksonville. It’s pretty much like starting over. After putting a lot of thought into our first choice and now having to do it all again. But I’m…
Wow! What a weekend! Friday we went to the Wreck Tech Parade and Pep Rally. It was fun and I took lots of pictures. I’ve posted some below! You can go here and see lots more! After the parade we cleaned the house and I wore myself plum out! The house hadn’t had a real good cleaning in quite awhile, especially the boys rooms! EEeessshhh! Saturday morning we finished cleaning and did about 8 loads of wash! Rob’s family (Rob’s Mom, step dad, sister, brother-in-law, brother, and adopted brother and sister) got here about noon, I think. We then built…
Happy 8 years to my Rob! This wasn’t planned. I actually initiated this cake face fun! It was something I just did without thinking really!
Here’s Alex playing in the clothes hamper. He was rolling around in it and it was so funny!
I found this from CJ’s Site. Thought I do it… I am from peanut butter, from Bounce Laundry Softner and Legos. I am from the 2 story house, loving, funny, cheesy sausage balls. I am from the fern, hibiscus, honey, and the hot humid air. I am from movie watching and short-tempered, from Rob and Drew and Alex. I am from the traveler and hard-working. From “Did you do your homework?” and “Did you clean behind your ears?”. I am from christian, listening and talking to the Lord each day. I’m from Fort Worth, Tx and Ireland, Chili and bacon…

Sheesh! We are home finally! I’m exhausted. I’m in the process of unpacking, washing, cleaning, going through mail, and the list goes on! Here’s a couple pics from our trip! First, here’s my new hair do! Thank you, Aunt Janet! Here’s my Mom with Drew Here’s the highest temp we saw while driving through Austin! The entire trip was SO hot! Our car thermostat said 110 degrees! And here’s a quick story. While on the way to San Antonio, we stopped in Waco and went to the Dr. Pepper museum. Right before we left we went to the bathroom and…
I love to travel, just love it. But what I don’t love is getting ready to travel. Cleaning the house, packing, cleaning out the car, making sure we have everything, going to the store, paying bills, and the list goes on and on. I wish I could just snap my fingers and be ready to go. Well, for that matter, just snap my fingers and BE THERE! Here’s our itinerary for those interested: June 30-July 1: Jackson, MS (Mississippi Braves Game) July 1-July 3: Cedar Creek Lake, TX (Family visit) July 4-July 6: Fort Worth, TX (Family visit) July 7-July…
We had a busy weekend. Saturday we went to Birmingham and went to the Birmingham Botanical & Japanese Gardens. Then, we went to the Summit to shop. We ate dinner at Carrabba’s Italian Grill, which is so awesome! We really had a good time. I’ll post pictures later. Now we’re getting ready to head to Texas Thursday. Well, I gotta go get some stuff done, so I’ll be back later.
I joined Friday Forum today. And here’s the questions for today: 1. If someone gave you $100 right now, how would you spend it and why? (No catches are involved; you can spend the money anywhere and in any way you want.) Would you make a bunch of small purchases or use the money for one big item? Uhhh…I’d probably spend it on clothes for my boys like I always do. Or I might get stuff for their bathroom that I’m in the process of collecting stuff for it so that I can redo it in a Nautical theme. 2.…
I check out the RAAM website along with my Uncle’s Team’s Blog site (Blog deleted) several times a day for updates. I just looked at it and was very sad to see that Bob Breedlove passed away during the race today. You can read about it here. This is so sad and scary. He was a solo rider. He was 53, same age as my uncle who’s in the race. They believe he collapsed and swerved into a truck head on. On a happier note, let’s continue to root on my uncle and his partner in their quest. No one…
