Dear Grandmother, Happy 62nd Anniversary! After 12 years of celebrating your anniversary with Granddad gone, I know you are elated to be with him up there dancing the night away. As much as I miss yall, I’m so happy you two have been reunited to celebrate your anniversaries together again and forever. Give Granddad a kiss for me! Love, Your “Little One”
I always have good intentions of blogging at least once a week, but life has really gotten busy since my last post. Monday, August 30th, I subbed at a school was told by the office lady that they had some maternity leave spots that may need to be filled and that I should speak with one of the principals. Well, I did, but she wasn’t sure if that teacher had found someone. I told her to please keep me in my mind, yadda-yadda-yadda. On my way home that day, I noticed Rob had called a few times. Called him back…

Well you can lock that column and only Mexican restaurants will come up. You also have the option of locking the town or the amount of money you’d like to spend. You do need a wifi connection to search, which just means for…
You’ll probably see more random entries, because I just feel like I’m not documenting my life. And with all the stresses, I just don’t see how I’ll remember all this. In fact, I’m upset that I haven’t documented more the last couple of years. Oh well…I never said I was a great writer, or that my stuff is even interesting. So anyway, I’ve been substitute teaching more the last couple weeks. Up until today, I had subbed 8 straight days, which is good since I’m not getting any compensation any more. I’m hoping and praying that I can continue to…
— 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…
Last weekend Drew’s team played the USC boys from Huntsville. This team suffered a loss on August 31st, when one of their players passed away due to the Swine Flu. In remembrance of him our boys wore wrist bands with his number 18 on it. At the end of the game when shaking hands they handed the wrist bands to the other team. It was quite emotional. After our boys did that, the other team came over to us and shook our hands. The coach also came over and expressed his gratitude for the thought. It was quite emotional. We…
Touch Bible LE by: Patrick Franklin Category: Reference Released: November 2008 Size: 26.7 MB I love this because instead of lugging my bible to church, I’m able to be able to access the entire bible without having WiFi. Since I have an iPod touch, I don’t have the luxury that iPhone users have. So the other day when I went to church and forgot my bible, I decided to give it a try. I first checked to see if I was able to connect to WiFi, because I thought for sure I would need it for this app. Shocked, but…
Last weekend we had 2 sets of visitors. Drew was very excited to see his good friend, who moved 3 years ago. They haven’t seen each other that entire time, so it was such a great reunion for the boys. It seemed that they picked up right where they left off. Here’s a few pics.
Zenbe Lists by: Robert Kieffer Category: Productivity Released: October 2008 Size: 0.2 MB *Note: This was free I downloaded it. It appears now that it’s not. I apologize for that, but I was nearly done writing this when I noticed that. Zenbe.com came out in 2008 and I think I must have started using it that summer. There’s three sections to Zenbe; email, lists, & shareflow. The lists part is the part of the site that I use with the iPod. Since I’m a serious list-maker, I find this site & app to be priceless. What I usually do is…
Here’s a video of the amazing flight of Spirit at the first game. And a few pics that I took:
I just think it is awesome that there are FREE applications for iPhones & iPods. Better yet they are 1,000’s to choose from! I’ve found some that I just couldn’t live without. I’ve decided to write a weekly post every Friday to feature my favorite free iPod/iPhone application. Unblock Me FREE by: Kiragames Category: Games Released: August 2009 Size: 1.7 MB Unblock Me is a game I quickly became addicted to. I guess I’ve always loved puzzle type games more than the normal board game, so this was right up alley. It turns out that my 5 yo and 11…
9 year old: Mom, I’m getting more popular since I’m hanging out with Parker. Gosh I remember when he didn’t know what popular meant.

Appetizer What is your favorite herb or spice? Geez…I have so many favorite spices, but I think that I would not be able to live without garlic salt. I put it on everything. Soup Name a song you like but haven’t heard in a long time. True Faith by New Order Salad If you were to take just one minute to write down as many things as you can think of that you need (not want) to do, approximately how many things would there be? Hmmm…not sure about that one, but maybe 30? Main Course Tell something interesting about one…
This weekend only proved to continue the saga of my kids seeing how far they could go. Yesterday Drew asked to go with the our neighbors to the park behind our house. I said that was fine. About 30 minutes later our neighbor rang the door bell and asked if I knew where the kids were. I was like noo….. She proceded to tell me they had heard all the stadium noise and wanted to go see what it was even though she told them not to go. She said she’d already driven around and couldn’t find them. I told…
I’m scared to look at my hair closely, because I think my kids are driving me towards a head FULL of gray hair! Alex has been climbing out of his car seat. He pulls the clasp down and works his way out of the straps. Then, he stands up and makes the back seat his romper room. All the while, I’m screaming at him to sit down as I watch in terror in the rear view mirror. I pull over and restrap him, pulling the clasp up to his chin hoping that he’s not able to get it pulled back…
This week’s Photo Scavenger Hunt theme is eyes. My blue-eyed baby
One night Rob and I were deciding what to eat. He suggested that we get something from Subway. Drew replied by saying, “Eat fresh!” Rob and I looked at each other and cracked up.
