new year 11 days in...
is it possible for me to get this blog back up and running again???? i think about it all the time, i have tried several times to get it back on track... but it always gets lost in the shuffle of my day.
so i am going to try to start some mobile blogging-- really hope that helps me, since getting on the computer is much more difficult than picking up my phone! so give me a few minutes and lets see what i can get done!

booo hooo hooo
oh my blog has been so forgotten about! it makes me so sad to look back and see how much i haven't posted about!
we had a busy busy summer and so much has been going on and happening that it really makes my head spin.
my computer is going extra-special slow these days and it has taken soo much time that i end up getting frustrated and walking away from the whole thing.
and... i have been facebooking... it's addictive and i am starting to not like it. this is much better, story telling, remembering the cute things that have gone on... oh, i miss those with facebook. and because i don't get to catch up with everyone on a daily basis... i don't get to tell you about them all.
our kids are growing up so fast that it's scary. ella just turned 4! four, four! i cannot wrap my head around that at all! it's scary! fisher is crazy as usual, he moves 100 times faster than i ever could. he gets himself into such crazy situations...
i am really wanting to do better with my blogging... i really need a new computer... but really that just ain't in the picture right now. the kids are now going to school two days a week, and they LOVE it! and so do i! it's actually been really nice seeing how much they have learned in such a short amount of time.
we really keep busy for kids not being in "real school" and not playing "real sports" and with "real social lives"... but in our preschool world... we are crazy busy!
ella started soccer this year. it is a riot! 3, 4, & 5 year olds (we are actually having a banquet tomorrow) they had a pretty rough season, but each player really had a great time... ella scored several goals and most of them were for the other team! but really, lots of fun (3 days a week) and fisher will play next year... he really wanted to this year, and was as big as a few players, but really- he needs a year!
here are a few of the pictures to catch you up to speed!
our trip to alabama
**** this was our first trip without the kids... EVER **** chris' parents offered to keep the kids for the weekend that we were going, and it worked out beautifully! we had a great time with the best people that we have ever met! i loved getting away with just chris, riding in a car without answering TONS of questions, or getting kicked, hit, flying objects, etc! it was a totally wonderful weekend!
**** AND TO DEBRA... THIS IS ALL FOR YOU! I DON'T EVEN GET TO CHECK MY EMAIL ANYMORE! I MISSED YOU GUYS LAST TRIP INTO ROANOKE, BUT PLEASE KNOW, THERE IS AN OPEN INVITE FOR YOU ANY WEEKEND! OR WEEK DAY FOR THAT MATTER! ****

the dentist and ella
so, today was ella's first dentist appointment. ( i know, she should have already gone... but i let my fears of the dentist overwhelm my parental duties) i have been talking about the dentist FOREVER with her in hopes to keep the fears at bay. well, today was the day! i was really considering not taking her this morning... but, i was responsible, mature, and did the right thing... we went. we went, got lost, were 45 minutes late, i have angry tears and everything! I WAS THAT MOM! i called and called and called the office but the phone was busy... the ordeal that it became was very unpleasant!
but, we made it FINALLY! in the waiting room she looked at me with the quiver lip and said i don't want to go back there...
i know that it is better in these situations to not baby her and push her on to do the "mature, big girl" thing, and that is just what i did. and she went back when they called her name, came out in 15 minutes or less.... grinning ear to ear with her "new teeth" and jumping saying "NO CAVITIES, NO CAVITIES!"
sidenote, i thought for sure that she would have 30! but, none! i couldn't be prouder, more excited, or blessed that this child has nothing but great teeth!
and to my lacey... i have even been flossing those chompers (on them both)
** when fisher goes... they will have to use restraints! we have to headlock that boy to get his teeth brushed every night and morning! **
all for now! have a great afternoon!

we're getting close!
on august 10 chris and i will celebrate our 7th anniversary! i am really excited, moreso because on august 29 we will be celebrating 10 years of knowing, dating, engaging, married life!
i think back on when i met him (i was all of 18) and how much we have grown, changed, stayed the same, moved, grooved, shaked, ate, drank, babied, and lived... i never thought that this is what my life would be like and i couldn't imagine my life any other way. chris and i have learned so much about life (and still so much to learn) but i couldn't be happier or more blessed in life that to be living life with him.
have a great wednesday and thanks for coming back to my posts!

long time gone...
we have been so busy and my computer has been acting up so much, that blogging has become a thing of the past. we have gone back to cable internet this week, and things seem to be moving faster than before... time will tell :)
so, june flew by! we went to the beach with my parents, jarron, and kelsey and jopo for the weekend-- i turned 28, fished like crazy, swam and played so much that we cannot wait to go again!
july was quick too... really too quick. 4th of july, fisher's birthday, visitors, and a quick trip from jarron and joey-- seriously we are spinning!
now, it's august! really august! i cannot believe that we are more than half way through this year! it was last year that i started this blog, jarron went to california for school, kelsey got married-- and now-- well i gues there is a phrase that sums it up! oh the places we will go!
we are lovin the cooler summer and have really stayed busy just within our little neighborhood-- we never have a "quiet night" which is something that we LOVE!
we are approaching the "preschool years" and ella is going to start soccer this fall... we cannot wait for that to happen!
here is a picture tour of the last month and some from the beach trip! thanks to all who keep up with my page... i swear i will do better! hoping that my computer doesn't die!
