We celebrated Alex’s birthday the weekend after his birthday with some of Rob’s family. We went to one of his and our favorite restaurants, Durango (Mexican). Here he is blowing out his candles. For his 4th birthday, he got lots of Auburn stuff as you can see when if you click on the pic above. He also finally got a bookshelf for his room.
Diet Coke and Chocolate. Kind of funny! Yes, a 1/2 pound chocolate bar from my sweet husband. Did I eat in one sitting? No of course not! LOL Originally uploaded by Me
Drew has a mini-tournament in Birmingham today. It SNOWED on us on our way up there. Nice! LOL! It was in the 30’s and we froze. We played the #1 in the state and the other 2 were in the top 10 of the state. We tied against the #1 and the other 2 we lost. Drew got his first goal today and it was very exciting! Pics later:)
My baby boy is 4 today! I know I always say this when the boys have birthdays but I can’t help it. Time goes by way too fast! I decided to do I like I did with his big brother and just pull some of my fav pics of him. Not posted in any order.
Ok, so Rob and I started having “date night” back in December. We would go every other weekend and we would take turns planning it and usually it was a surprise. So I’m going to recap our dates and what we did… Dec. 8 – (planned by Rob) We went to see the ballet, Nutcracker, and ate a fancy restaurant called Dawson’s at Rose Hill Dec. 22 – (planned by me) I pre-purchased for the movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets. It was the night after it premiered so I wanted to make sure it wasn’t sold out. After that…
Rob = flu since Monday Me = flu since Thursday YUCK!
Where has the time gone? So ever since Drew had a birthday back in January, Alex started saying, “Drew is 10 and I’m almost 4.” As time escapes us, he now started deleting the “almost” part and announces to everyone that he is 4. Needless to say his birthday is a week from today. Where have the last few years gone? It seems like yesterday I was so ready to get that baby out. Thinking of ways to put myself in labor, so I could meet that little boy that was growing inside of me. And now I try to…
This recipe for Stuffed Pasta Shells is on of my absolute favorites. It does require more prep time than I prefer, but I usually make at least 2 batches and free one. Who doesn’t love freeze ahead meals? 2 bangs for your buck! Servings: 8 Prep Time: 30 Minutes Cook Time: 30 Minutes Ingredients 1 (16 oz.) package uncooked large pasta shells 1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded 1 (15 oz.) container ricotta cheese or cottage cheese (for less fat) 1 lb. of meat (hamburger meat/Italian sausage) 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese 1 (28 oz.) jar pasta sauce (I make my…
Drew was excited to finally get a Nintendo DS! It’s written all over his face. Still can’t believe it’s been 10 years already.
Drew is 10 today! He’ll never be a single digit age again! His life in pictures… (not in any order) See all of my birthday posts here.
Drew was honored to be asked to be a player on the Auburn Thunder Travel Soccer Team this spring. Normally you have to pay and go through try-outs, but the coach of the team called Friday night. He said he had seen Drew play and has seen his competitive nature, skills, and speed. We sat down as a family last night and discussed it and he was very excited to hear about the invitation. He, of course, said he wanted to do it. After having several seasons of rec league soccer, where kids don’t take it very seriously and don’t…
Well we survived the sleep over. It went great. I think they all had a great time. Lights out was at 2 am, but that didn’t stop many of them from staying up ALL NIGHT! So they were all zonked this morning when I was cooking homemade waffles and bacon. Rob and I got a couple hours of sleep. I’m thinking I’m going to head off to take a nap here in a few. You can see pics here!
Yes, it’s been like 7 years since we’ve had snow! So we are THRILLED to see snow. It’s beautiful. I just wonder why it always snows on the weekend or a holiday. I never get to reap the benefits of ‘bad’ weather. 🙂
How can my older son be turning 10 already? Where has the time gone? On Wednesday the 23rd, Drew will be TEN!!! He’s got 7 boys over tonight for a sleep over. No I’m not insane, but I might be by the morning! LOL! I had a mushy post to write about the 10 years he’s been on Earth, but I’m not going with that right now. Maybe later when I don’t have 8 hollering boys downstairs, playing air hockey, and playing video games.
So I know everyone is out there making their lofty list of new years resolutions (NYR). I found this article about the percentages of people who keep their resolutions. I think the main thing with NYR is that people make them on the first day of the year. Keep them on their mind for short time and end up forgetting about most of them by February or March. I did fairly well on a few of my NYR from last year. This year I hope to do stick with all of them. It’s also important to not have a laundry…
