2012

I was horrifed when I FINALLY logged into my Blogger account and realized that my last post had been in January 2012, and the post before that was 6 months prior! You see, with only one laptop in the house, and 3 hi-tech kids, 2 of which use the computer for their homework, I rarely ever use the laptop. I've resorted to using my iPhone for almost everything, yet for some reason I neglected to find a way to continue my blog online. Last week I found the Blogger app, and next week I'm upgrading my iPhone for a better camera. I should be able to easily keep the blog up to date with pics and details about the ongoings of our family. So, in 2011 - 2012, I basically used Facebook to keep everyone updated. In January of 2013, I decided to take a less active role in the whole FB world, as it seemed less and less people are actually keeping in touch that way. Below I am posting my favorite pics from my blogging sabbatical.

AWESOME!! Love the update with pictures! :) I really do like the last two of the family and boys in the leaves. That should be your header picture at the top of your blog. :)

We love Stone Mtn!! So wish we lived closer and we would go there all the time!! Their camp grounds are really nice!

Love the pictures that we can actually see the difference in the boys (Christmas and Halloween).

Thanks again for sharing!!

Thank you! I feel so much better now that things are documented. I think I've been having "sharing" withdrawls since I've stopped posting on Facebook. I'm sad that I've missed documenting the little things, but I'm happy to be back to blogging!

Easter 2009

The Easter Bunny was good to the boys this year...even though we dyed the eggs at 8PM the night before. All the "egg hunts" were with plastic eggs this year, which the kids prefer, due to the candy/prizes inside. We went to our new church on Easter morning and the kids made it through the "grown-up" service, so it has been a great day so far. Now, on to lunch at Grandma Jackie's house for Easter dinner!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...

Our special visitor....

Do I have a story to tell you! Last night Hunter ask if he could go out to the van and look for his Nintendo DS. I let him go and then made sure he locked the door as he came in. This morning, as I stepped outside to take some things to the car before we left for school/work, I noticed the sliding door on the van was wide open. I started griping to the boys "Good grief, now the battery is going to be dead....AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" They came running out the door to find an "American Bulldog" curled up in Carter's seat. After I got my wits about me, I sent them back in and tried to talk the dog out of the car. Then I tried to entice him out with a hot dog. He just stared at me. Then I got a stick, opened up all the doors and yelled at him to try to scare him out. He just ran behind the seat and hid in the back. When I got really agressive he started quivering his lip like he was going to growl at me. He was scared of me and I of him. All the while, I was documenting th...
