Here I am!!!

Sorry, I kind of fell off the "Blogger Train" for a bit...I'm back .

Maybe lately I've been the caboose. (Just leave that alone Rick).

Just wanted to say a quick hello...I will post later with some pics of what's been going on.

Have been working a lot lately, church, trying my best to keep my home clean and laundry done. Just doing the necessary things lately.

No scrapping at all. However, I am in the "mood" to turn my house upside down and spring clean. That includes getting rid of some stuff, re-organizing, and putting out some home decor my sister gave me when she moved. It's good stuff too. She doesn't even remember most of it.

We are working on the kids rooms, mostly Kameron's and Shine's. Shine's is pretty much done, we just have to add a few things...IKEA here we come. Kameron's...well, I have had the stuff for his room for a long time, but we were trying to figure out what type of bed to put in there, one that would go with the decor he chose. We figured it out. We decided that Hugo would build one for him. So that is in process right now. I'm excited about it...other than a few more little things to buy, we are just waiting on the bed to be complete. Hugo has had very little time to work on it between our busyiness lately. When we get done with it, I will be sure to post some pictures. It won't be real soon but hopefully not too long.

It's soooo Kameron.

Well, that's about it for now. I have to take Shine to piano lessons. I will post again soon with some pictures.

Thanks for stopping by.

Til next Time with T!!!!

Happy Birthday Mema!!!

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you Mema!!!! We love you and are happy to have you here for your birthday, and although all the rest of your kids are not with us for the celebration, we will make sure that you feel special on this day.

Thank you for being a great mom to us all. All the things you have taught us over the years, is the reason it is hard for you to tell us anything now, because you taught us right the first time. It has stuck with each of us. We appreciate the wisdom and advice and mothering you have given us all.

Thank you for being a great mom, mema, and mother-in-law.

We love you and honor you on this great day.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

ps...to our Tennesseean family....we will miss you on this special party day.

Til next Time with T!!!!

P365/This week!

Here's a few of my P365 pics for last week...just thought I would share a little peek at what happened each day...I love this project...

Shine and her friend Jessica at their Cheer Spirit Night...

Kameron lost a tooth...

The tooth fairy came...



Brooklin loves her Jumpstart preschool computer game...

The girls getting fitted for Ws. Bethany's wedding...

Brooklin didn't understand why she couldn't take her princess dress home that same day...she promises to be a little "gill" the night of the wedding...with Nemo in a tow, she must be on her best behavior. ????
Shine will have fun wearing that beautiful dress. All grown up...too grown up for mom to even think about.

A picture of my laundry pile for the week...it looks less than it actually is..it is minus two loads in the wash at the time of this pic and it is missing towels as well, for a total of 9 loads.

Pancake Saturday!!!...these were whole wheat and soy sausage..since we're on our whole grain/veggie only fast...

Oh my!!!

Packing up the Christmas stuff, these two decided they were not letting the Christmas stuff go away that easy...my kids are Christmas freaks!!! Not just the presents, they want every piece of decor they see. They wanted to leave it up all year.

What kind of monsters did I create???

Brooklin asked me while I was on the computer to help her put this GIANORMOUS Nemo puzzle together that Aunt Sheri got her for Christmas...of course, I couldn't resist.

Who could resist that face???

Well, that concludes our week from the 15th-20th...not including work, church, normal comings and goings...whew!!! no wonder I'm tired.

Hope you all had a great week like I did...take time to enjoy your families...they grow and go way too fast!!

Til next Time with T!!!

Kameron's Award Ceremony

Finally a post!!! Sorry that took so long. I came back from our trip into a full swing week. Haven't had much time til this week. It seems that all my other blog buddies have been busy too. Not too many posts lately. Pretty quiet around the blog post. Come on ladies lets get back to posting. I love to hear what you're all doing.

Yesterday, we went to an awards ceremony at Kameron's school. His teacher had sent an invitation for us to attend. When we got there, Kameron got an award for Citizenship, which was only 3 kids total from his class. So of course we were proud of him.

Then on to the next award...he was then called up for an acedemic award. This award is for students that carry a GPA of 3.5-4.0 with A's and B's, with no more than two B's. Report cards come home on Friday, so we can see the actual GPA results but again, we are very proud of Kameron.

Then yesterday a note came home from his teacher, recommending Kameron for the E.C.L. (Exceptionally Capable Learners) group.

If you are not familiar with that program, it is not GATE but it is like GATE for 1st-3rd graders. Their I.Q. is not tested until they are in 3rd grade. E.C.L. meets every other week and give the students an opportunity to work on a selected subject in greater depth.

The subject selected this year is "Plant Life". The parts of plants and their needs, why we need plants, technology research on the plants and completing web quests, different uses for plants and ways to help Earth.

We are very honored to have Kameron selected for this group as I realize there are only a number of student spots available.

Great job Kameron!!!

Me and Dad are very proud of you and your hard work.

(I know you will read this as you do keep up on all the blogs).

Me and Kameron after the morning awards...(Brooklin likes to be in any picture being taken and of course, Nemo.)

Til next Time with T!!!
