SUPER HERO

My kids used to ask me if super heroes were real and I used to say, "no, they are not." If asked again today I would say, "Yes, yes they definately are." Pictured here with proof of that...Our most favorite super hero on the planet, David!

Light the night walk ~ Sept. 30th

Many of you may know that every year for the past couple of years we have done the"Light the Night" walk to help raise money for the Leukemia/Lymphoma society. The walk is short (about 3 miles) but what we gain is far from small. The light the night walk is named as such because it is done in the evening and we all get to carry illuminated balloons. The survivors have a different color then the rest. I wish Jim (my stepdad) could be walking with us with the balloon that screams I beat this thing but he lost his battle. We carry a "in memory" of balloon in his honor. The kids have been asking when Jim's balloon walk is.....I have to find it somewhere in my heart to tell them that it is now also to support one of their very best friends, David. I'm looking for pledges for the walk big or small. Every penny counts. If you would like to help support us and the Leukemia and Lymphoma society please contact me. The walk is on September 30th.

David,We love you buddy!

Just found out tonight that David (one of the familys all time favorites) has been diagnosed with Leukemia. (AML) Please say a little prayer for David and his mama Diane. This is gonna be a long hard road for everyone!

Miss Independant

Mallory visits her new school.
She wonders why the "ool bus" doesn't come get her.

First day.

All grow"ed" up

My friend Katie and I came across this poem when our babies were actually "babies" and she filed it away and had it posted on her blog. It hit me even harder now that the kids are older. Wow, time does go so fast. Thought some of you would enjoy reading this. Hope it doesn't make you cry!! Thanks Katie!!

You were six months old and full of fun,
With a blink of an eye, you suddenly were 1..
There were many things we were going to do,
But I turned my head and you turned two...
At two, you were very dependent on me,
But independence took over when you were three...
Your third birthday, another year I tried to ignore,
But when I lit the candles there weren't 3, but four...
Four was the year that you really thrived,
Why, look at you now, you're already five...
Now you are ready for books and rules,
This is the year that you go to school...
The big day came; you were anxious to go,
We walked to the bus, going oh so slow...
As you climbed aboard and waved goodbye,
I felt a lump in my throat and a tears stung my eyes...
Time goes so fast, its hard to believe,
That yesterday you were home here with me...
And tomorrow when the bus brings you home & you jump to the ground
You'll be wearing your cap and graduation gown...
So I'm holding on to these moments as hard as I can,
Because the next time I look,
I'll be seeing a man!

- THE STATE FAIR -

What is "fair" about the Fair? We stood in line for the quesadillas,smoothies,cinnamon rolls,corn dogs, the bathroom (several times), the sky ride and made our way to the miracle of birth barn just in time for it to close. We got to park 32 miles away from the gate. Some lady "let" us pay her $8.oo to use her driveway. Ok, I sound like the grinch. It really wasn't at all bad. We were there and gone in a blink of an eye. (4 hours) Long enough if you ask me. I hate crowds. But, I do love to see my babies smile!!!!!!!!!

The breakfast happy meal !!!!!!!!

Did you know that happy meals aren't just for lunch anymore?? The snack pack at Krispy Kreme comes in a box that screams happy.

Besides the drink, a straw, and some stickers along with a fine tatoo are included. Note: Mallo loves the tatoo and refuses to let any scrubbing take place. She has gotten many comments on it. Maybe for her big day at Preschool we can talk her into a fresh start.
