Saw this from Fun Mama. I like doing these and haven’t done one exactly like this before. Outside my window… beautiful 67 degree weather. I am thinking… why my 11 year old is crawling around on the floor when he’s supposed to be in bed. I am thankful for… my family and the roof over my head. I am wearing… my comfy gown since it is almost bedtime. I am remembering… how much I enjoyed having date night with Rob and wish we could do that again. I am going… to be going to bed soon after watching more shows…

Earlier this year while going through all the stuff I got from my Grandmother’s house, I came across a book with a lot of my stuff from school. Seeing these Thanksgiving projects brought back many memorable memories and I just had to share them. My turkey from 2nd grade (I think) My Thanksgiving letter from 1st grade Now this! This I love! This was from 2nd Grade where our assignment was to tell How to Prepare a Thanksgiving meal…

Back in October we went with Pack 29 Cub Scouts to Family Camp. For those of you who don’t realize, Drew crossed over to Boy Scouts in April and Alex isn’t old enough to be in Cub Scouts. That means that Rob is a the Cubmaster while not having a son in the organization. That’s true dedication in my eyes! Totally! You should see the time he puts in to it. Anyway, so here’s some pics from our fun weekend. Our campgrounds Rob handing out bracelets to the cub scouts One of the activities One of Drew’s friends who came…

I’ve been so busy lately. I started a temporary job at the Auburn University Library. I’m there four days a week M-Th from 6 pm to 12 am. I also substitute as much as possible and still work at the day care teaching music M & W. All this means that if I sub on M & W I work from 7 am to 12 am!! WOW! If it sounds like I’m complaining, I’m not! I’m actually shocked at myself that I’m able to survive this, and very glad to have this opportunity to get some extra money, with school…

We always have a great time out at Mr. Tony’s place, cutting wood, playing with the dogs, walking around, watching the horses, chasing the chickens…What more could you ask for? See all the pics from our day here.

Writing Assignment: 2.) Find your one very favorite picture of Summer and write a poem about it. (inspired by Mama’s Losin It) This is one of my favorite pictures from summer. Usually my fav pics do not include me, but I do love this one because of my great friend in it. Friends are something we often take for granted. Friends are people who are there no matter how bad life gets. They’re there to root you on when the going is good. They are not jealous of your accomplishments. They support you no matter what. They don’t turn their…

— This evening around 7:40 I was able to get away and go to the grocery store! Pretty sad, when I’m excited about going to Wal-Mart. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a normal trip for groceries. I went through the self-check out, as I always do. I rang up my 50 items or so and paid. Then, as I got ready to pull my buggy away, I realized I didn’t ring up the items in the top part of the cart. Since there was a line waiting behind me, I wasn’t able to just ring up the items. I…

This week over at I Heart Faces our challenge is to share your story of summer through pictures. So here you have it. This summer didn’t have any big trips or much exciting. We managed to do little things here and there so that it wasn’t totally boring! Summer started with sis-in-law’s graduation from SCAD Atlanta Then off to see a friend in North Alabama. We did some fun crafts. Lots of Lego playin’. 1st Boy Scout Court of Honor 1st year of swimming lessons for Alex. Summer nights in Auburn Flat top hair cut for Drew. Drew goes to…

I love taking pics at the beach, so I have tons of beach pics. I really had a hard time deciding. This pic is from Alex’s first trip to the beach. This was off the Georgia coast on Cumberland Island. Even more interesting…this was taken with a point and shoot camera! Be sure to check out I ♥ Faces to see all the other beautiful faces that have been entered into the contest!

Isn’t this so cute!?!? Alex has been so into Legos lately. He had them strewn from wall to wall in the living room. He pulled them back out the other night, after having to clean them up last weekend. He was wise to keep them in the bucket. Alex started trying to recreate a boat he saw in a Lego book he found. He took a break for a minute to get the pillow off the couch and then proceeded to lay down and play laying down! I was shocked when I looked over to see him asleep with his…

Last Friday Drew’s school held their annual Bash N Dash. We’ve actually never gone, because there’s always something going on. I was happy that we got to make it this year especially since it’s his last year there. They have a 1 mile fun run and 5K. Drew decided to do the 5K. His first race and he WON! He was the fastest kid in his school. Do I see a track star in my future? 🙂 See a few more pics here

I was going to write a nice post about my younger child, but it has been literally a NON-stop day! So I’ll just let the pictures do the talking for now. Can’t believe he’s FIVE!

We went last week to Texas. It was a very quick trip to see Grandmother and try to get all my stuff from the house. We brought a ton of stuff back. Nothing of great value and really when you look at it all, it looks like a bunch of junk! But one man’s junk is another man’s treasures, right? And most of this stuff I brought back is treasure to me. If you asked me how you box up memories, I’d show you the boxes of stuff sitting in my living room. I emptied 2 of the boxes last…

Well I had written Drew’s birthday entry a couple days ago and you’ll see it in a few hours, but since I’m up and I was reading about Harper and Brayden and I couldn’t help but think back to this time 11 years ago. Wow! I get tears in my eyes thinking about it. No not because of the thoughts of the pain, but just thinking about how awesome it all was. After he was born, I remember the feelings that I had. From the day I visited my gynecology specialist who is a professional and has completed obgyn board…

After making the Gingerbread house, I had the boys go out in the yard and look for some pine cones. I painted them. Then pulled out some glittery thingys and some glue. The boys decorated them and we placed them on the table wear the food was going to be on Christmas Day. Making fancy pine cones for Christmas Day table decorations. This was before all the food got put on the table. We had 2 tables FULL of food! Good times! Family, food, and lots of fun.

The few days that Drew had off before Christmas we enjoyed some of our traditions that we try to make time for every year. One of which is making a Gingerbread House. Last year, we didn’t get to it. This year I stepped back and tried to let the kids do as much as possible. Enjoy the pictures:

Rob got: Movies Books a new polo shirt and khaki pants some children books that were his when he was growing up a few other things, but they don’t come to mind right now.
