Big Guy

This guy...

He is my rock.

My North Star..

The Calm in my Storm...



He has a very important interview this morning...
He could use all the good thoughts and prayers you can send his way...
Thank you...

She Never Stops.

This...

If we could only bottle it...

She is so full of energy... Full.

She never stops. Never.

I think she would rather be here than anywhere else...

She loves it and would be out there in the rain.

She is out there in the freezing cold.

She will play until it so dark you can't see the ball.

And then she will get mad because she has to stop.

She never stops.

If I could only bottle it.



Have a wonderful Monday :)

101st day of school

Friday was the 101st day of school for my minions.. wow.. it is flying by!

Best Face Photo

"Best Face Photo"

This is my entry for this weeks theme : "Best Face Photo"

This is my son Sullivan, and was taken

at his Kindergarten Holiday Festival at school 12.14.09

Whew January!

Happy January!! And it feels like it all over the US.. And here in the South...? Good Grief!! It is ridiculous... Here are some shots from our first snow.. it isn't much.. But the fact that it has been like 12 degrees for days... Whew! And the wind chill... we won't even go there..

Stormy walking carefully..

Stoney walking while he is saying "I am talking this one step at a time.

So I can be very careful"

I hope it is warmer where you are... I have never been a big fan of blistering temps in the Summer.. I have always been a Fall girl... but I am sooo looking forward to Summer!!
Happy New Year!!

Christmas Time

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We did and of course it was over way to quick. You have all this hype and lead up... then it is the 26Th and the music is off the radio and the Christmas shows are off the television.. That is the part I don't like..
We went to my Mom's the weekend before and had Christmas with family.. everyone couldn't be ther and of course one of my nephews is still in Afghanistan.. he is due home in a few weeks :) Praise the Lord.

Zach, Stormy and Stoney ..

Mom's tree and all the loot :)

One of my favorite ornaments on our tree. A little wooden church my Mom

painted many years ago after our house burned when I was little. She made

new ornaments and attached old costume jewelry pieces of my Grandmother's

to them... this one I love...

Everyone have a Very Happy and Safe New Year!

Build-A-Bear

A couple of weeks ago we celebrated Stormy's birthday a little early with her Bestie :)

We met at the mall to create and adopt new friends at Build-A-Bear..

It went by too fast and I wish we could have spent more time with them..

Stoney..

Waiting patiently...

New clothes..

Friends with their new friends..

Stoney, Their Bestie and Stormy... Friends for life... I am sure of it!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving...

Thanksgiving came and went in a flash. It goes by faster and faster every year... We will blink and it will be Christmas!

We had a great time at Mom's... We missed Tyler. He is still in Afghanistan...Counting the days now, he is due to return in January.
There was plenty of food and fun to go around..
Hope you and yours had a great day and a long weekend and had to unbutton your pants at least once ;)
