Dad/Grandpa Came Home!!

As you can tell, it's been a long time since my last post. Things have been so crazy busy here. The most exciting thing that has happened lately was Dad/Grandpa's visit home! We all miss him and were so excited when he decided to come home to celebrate his birthday!

The kids LOVED seeing their Grandpa and each had time alone with him. Sean and grandpa did lots of projects together (including cutting down a dead tree in the backyard). Grandpa was able to help Avery ride her bike and she in turn showed him all her dollies.

Here are some pics from the visit:
















We all had a great time and it was so wonderful to see our Dad/Grandpa!

Family Fun Night

Last night our town put on a Family Fun Night where families could come and enjoy some fun. :) Hence the name. :) Anyway, Avery was so tired and wanted to go to bed, so Seany and I just went. It was great. Everything was free!! They had Domino's Pizza, Chick-Fil-A, Sonic Hamburgers and drinks all for free. I couldn't believe it!! For entertainment they had bounce houses, games, tractor rides, fireman and firetrucks, face-painting (provided by our friends, GOOD JOB GUYS!!!)and lots of other stuff. It was really nice to get out with Sean and have some fun together and I was blown away that we could have dinner, entertainment and activities and we didn't have to spend a dime. I love this town!

By the way, the black things on his face are storm clouds that he had requested during his turn at the face painting booth. :)

The wait is almost over!!!

Tonight at midnight, the new and final Twilight book will be released! The bookclub girls and I are heading out to the bookstore for their release party where we will be until midnight when we get our own copies of Breaking Dawn! Woo-hoo! :) Party Party Party...

Sean's TV Debut

What better birthday present can a kid have than being on TV. Sean and his t-ball team were filmed a few weeks ago for the weekly NBC 17 news segment, Pint Sized Sports. It was so great that the air date ended up being last night, on his birthday. It was a perfect end to a perfect day. Sean is on the Mudcats and is number 5. He is in the video twice, once as he trys to get away when anotehr kid trys to tag him with the ball and at the end givng high fives as the game is over. It is too cute and we were thrilled for him!

Sean turns six!!!

Tomorrow is my Seany's sixth birthday! It just blows my mind how 6 years ago tonight I was in labor and our family of two was about to turn into a family of three! Wow! Where did the last 6 years go? Now, he is a big boy/little man who goes to school all day everyday. Here are some pictures from a long time ago, when he was still my little bug.

Memory Tag

I saw this on Vivians blog and thought it was a great idea. I think we should all do it.

Here are the rules:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. I can't wait to see what people remember.

Sean's First Day of School

This Thursday was Sean's very first day of school! I can't believe it! He was so excited and wanted to make sure his hair and clothes were just right. :) I drove him to school and walked him inside and as I went to give him a hug, he just kind of waved at me instead and said "Bye Mom"! What!?! He apparently was much more ready for his big day than I was. :) I tried to act cool about it and just waved bye back, but I was tearing up before I even got out of the school. I was so excited for him but all I could think of was how a chapter had closed in our lives together. I will never again be at home all day everyday witb Sean. The time I had to teach him and protect him is gone and this would be the first of many steps in letting him go. Dramatic, but true!













The hug goodbye
