Babies

BJay is home sick with the worst stomach virus known to mankind.  He might be dying, actually.   So I’m taking life one moment at a time.  I’ve pre-packed the children’s lunches for tomorrow, assuming they are not sick by then.  It wasn’t so long ago a fun round of food poisoning had me [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Birthday to Dad!

My dear ‘ol dad turns 50 something today and doesn’t look a day over 45!   We forced him to celebrate last night during the superbowl (no he’s not a hardcore fan) with chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting.  The groundhog has predicted 6 more weeks of winter!  Happy Birthday Dad!

Asher’s Birthday Party

I have been such a slacker lately, I completely missed blogging about Asher’s birthday and gun birthday party.  Since I know I spent adequate time spoiling and spending time with Asher during his whole birthday week, rest assured that he is not offended.  Asher got a snow-storm from mother nature that canceled school every day [...]

We miss Lynchburg!

Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I got before my camera died.  We visited with friends in Roanoke on Friday and then drove to Lynchburg Saturday morning.  On the way, we called some good friends and had an insta-party at one of our favorite parks.  That is where the pictures were taken of the kids.  [...]

Asher’s addition to the tree [...]

Internet people.

I read a few blogs, not a ton. Mostly ones from people I know. Usually I read to stay caught up on people’s lives that I know. There are a few, and very few that I read because I’m actually interested in someones opinion on things. When I venture out into [...]

Only girl with 3 big brothers Vs. Hila, queen of the house and boss of 2 brothers and a sister

I was fixing my neice Opal and Hila some chocolate milk this morning. The chocolate syrup is almost gone so it made *that* sound. Opal laughs and says, “Ha. It farted!” Hila said quickly, “It tooted.”
Opal, “It farted, farty fart fart!”
Hila talking over her cousin loudly, “It tooted! It tooted! [...]
