There's No Place Like Roam

There is just something about Carhartt that makes me run for the camera!

We occasionally watch Brody, the son of my boss. He is also in class with Graham at the Word Alive Academy . They have become fast friends and get so excited to see each other. This picture cracks me up!

I was able to go on Hunter's field trip to the Imagination Place in Gadsden, AL. The kids had a great time interacting with robots and hearing a Dr. Seuss story. They were even able to make a mask to go along with the story.

Graham loves spending time "helping" daddy with the cars. He has no fear...air compressors, loud exhaust and all.

The weather finally warmed up enough to take the boys down to the pond for a bit. Hunter was trying to avoid a "Fishy Kiss" Carter has the hang of it and can fish alone Mad Max Hunter and Carter Graham likes to boss from outside the fence

By the time I came in the kitchen, Graham's face looked like he had just dove into his 1st birthday cake. He had eaten the tops off (du...

Last night was one for the books. I just had to document it, while I remembered the specifics. I fell asleep around 10, but was woken when Jason shot up out of the bed at 11:00. He said he heard a car door open/shut several times. He got his shoes on and went downstairs (or so I thought). I was then wide awake and listening. I heard it too and then BAM - Jason appeared in the doorway. He scared at least a year off of my life! Apparently, he never went all the way down the stairs, but decided to listen from the hall. He didn't hear the noise again, and decided to go back to bed. Well, when I told him I had heard the noise, he went down stairs and outside. A few minutes later, I heard something. BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM ! Oh NO ! WHAT was that???!?!?!? Should I call 911? What is the stupid code to the gun safety-thingy?!?!?
