Prom 2009

Prom 2009..... these are some of my faves! Don't they make a cute couple??

New Year! Snow on the way!

Finally 2009! Woo Hoo!!! We had a great quiet relaxing Christmas. Rick and I had a great time shopping and being together. It was really nice. Didn't want to go back to school at all. We are almost finished with the first semester of school. Exams this week. Weatherman is calling for snow tomorrow, and they have cancelled school. I hate missing school. I really hate it!! Such a pain making up school. Made the delicious almond cake that the Angry chicken was talking about the other day. It is wonderful. They carry the almond cake filling at Lowe's Foods. Delicious!!

You guys have a great day!!

Almost Thanksgiving and boy am I thankful!

Thought I would take a moment to be thankful for my kids. First of all Will, a Senior in High School, just finished out the soccer season and is now prepping for his first basketball game of the year. I am so proud of him. Proud of his ability to play sports and complete school work and be a good son and a good boyfriend. His childhood has truly flown by and everytime I think about him graduating, I tear up. I am going to miss him and all of his friends. They have all become a part of our family.

I am also thankful for Ward. He certainly marches to the beat of his own drum. Doesn't follow in his brother's footsteps at all. He is getting ready to play rec. basketball, and hopes to make the school team. But he enjoys fishing and skateboarding more than his brother ever did. Has been spending a lot of time out on that quarter pipe in our front yard.

I love them both so much and feel truly blessed to have them in my life. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Make sure you tell someone you love them, and that you are thankful that they are in your life.

Sorry it has been way toooo long!

Hi all!! Well school has started and now I am busy as heck!! I currently have 6 scarves completed for Kindergarten Christmas presents, 2 quilt tops sewn but not completely embroidered. A yearbook that I have got to get going on!! It is on the computer, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it!! I have an IGP to write and submit by Friday, lesson plans to complete and a newsletter to write. I need to get my fall crap out of my attic and get it up before I turn around and it is Christmas!! Sheesh.... sorry this has been a complain fest! Ok, on to something good. My sister and her kids are coming tomorrow and staying for 3 weeks. I am going to Myrtle Beach with the girls in 3 weeks! Oh, and it is almost Mullet Festival!! My favorite weekend of the year! Sorry no picture today, but I promise next time. Hope all of you are wonderful and happy and healthy! Happy Fall!

Ben's Christening

Well the Wellons family was here last week for the blessed event of christening sweet Ben. This was Friday night, we were celebrating at the Icehouse restaurant. That is my sister Grayson's hand sticking a lemon on poor baby Ben's tongue!! Always good for a laugh. Babies and lemons! In other baby news my friend Anna is a new aunt! Her sister Julie had her baby on Thursday. John Fisher Hamm is here and weighed in at a whopping 10.6lbs!! Wow! Everyone is doing fine and Anna is thrilled that she was in town for the birth. This is my last week of summer vacation! Boo Hiss!!! Can't believe that the summer is over! I need to get busy on scarves for Christmas and finish Fisher's baby quilt. I have to go get some more thread, so hopefully tomorrow I will get to Hancock's for thread. So, I am hopeful to tie up loose project ends this week and get some boat/beach time in. Starting today..... going out in the boat as soon as I get off work! Hope you all have a great day!! Peace out!

He's Just a Sk8r Boy.....

I had really high hopes that I would get a blog entry in everyday, but alas.... wasn't meant to be! Although in my defense this picture was taken yesteday of Ward. He and some friends have found this old abandoned place (sorry, he told me not tell ya) to skate. Yes, me being the good mom went out there yesterday and took them some Gatorade and snapped a few pix! He has a few skate scrapes on his knee and on his chin. I guess those are badges of honor. Anyway we are all gearing up at our house for the new Batman flick coming out this weekend. Will and Tyler are coming home from camp tomorrow and want to go see it. I can't wait to go, but they want to go Saturday night and I am supposed to be involved with a sleepover with all my girlfriends from high school. So, I may have to bow out and go see it on Sunday. The weather is supposed to be yucky anyway, some sort of tropical system. I have started a scarf for Christmas for the Kindergarten children. I went to Wal Mart yesterday and stocked up on some Red Hart. I know, not the best yarn, but cheap and the kids use the scarves for leashes, belts, tug of war... you name it. So, I figured the cheaper the better!! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Peace Out Sugars!

Bulletin Board Love

I know, don't faint.... I can't believe it either, that I am making another post this week and that I took a picture of the bulletin board like I said I would. Weird. Maybe I am getting ready to keel over! So, there it is in all it's glory.It is hard to see the white trim b/c of the white wall, but the ribbon is inside the white frame part. I really only put the ribbon there to hide the fabric edges and I didn't have enough of one color, so I went with the double. I will be putting more stuff on it, but didn't want to fill it up and not show it off first. Not too bad for a major diy project. Did a little embroidery last night while I watched the All-Star game. No, I didn't make it to the end.... sheesh 15 innings! But great that the AL won and that JD Drew was the MVP! Could have done without all the booing when they called my boys names out! Damn Yankees! hee hee! Ok, so major productivity this morning.... walked 3 miles with mom this morning and then ran three, then went to grocery store at 7am,then cleaned out my refrigerator. Well, I am ready for a nap! I think I will run out to the local thrift store and poke around a little, then have lunch then maybe a nap! Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Peace Out Sugars!
