A little inspiration is always good...

A good friend of mine sent this to me and I wanted to share. I think it says it perfectly.

Busted Lip...no stitches!

October 3, 2011 "Is this Andrew's Mom? This is the Nurse at Welch Elementary..." Yeah, not a call any Mother wants to get. "Drew had a slight accident and tripped over his own feet and slammed his face on a desk." No stitches were needed and he is fine but apparently there was a good amount of blood but Drew assured me that it was okay because he had on a red shirt and no one knew what it was. What a trooper. He actually tore that piece of skin that connects your gums to your upper lip (go ahead, feel what I'm talking about, I know you are). They can't stitch it, so we just had to control the bleeding. He is doing much better and before you call me horrible for taking his picture during such an ordeal I think you should all know he requested his picture be taken and forwarded to his Dad to show him his "tough lip".

Sports x3...Gotta Love Saturdays!

October 1, 2011

We were running around like crazy on Saturday. We had soccer at 9am and I forgot my phone at home so there are no pictures. Jack scored a goal but his team lost. He played hard and did great. Then we headed to Jack's baseball game, again didn't have my phone and he suffered another tough loss. Later we went to Drew's game where they won and Surprise, I had my phone. Here is a picture of Drew trying to get a piece of that ball. I will get some good soccer pics on Saturday...or at least I will try. :)

Andrew's First Sleepover

September 30, 2011 There he goes...my baby...to his first sleepover. He headed two doors down to Nicklaus' for his birthday party. He had a great time and did great! Thank you, Bryon & Kim for taking such good care of my baby! He says he wants to sleepover again...REAL SOON!! :)

Coweta County Fair

September 30, 2011

Mommy & Jack after Zero Gravity...no one threw up...success!

The fair was in town so we headed to that on Friday night. We had a great time even though Andrew didn't come with us. He was busy at his first sleepover, which you will hear about later. Anyway, we rode rides and played games. Jack won a few prizes including a goldfish...AWESOME. Poor thing has no idea what happens if you are a pet and you move into my house...you usually never make it out alive. Jack named him Phil. I will keep you posted.

Peyton & Payton

Two baseball games + two losses = cranky boys

We played two tough games tonight! The Cubs took on the Indians and suffered their first loss of the season while the Cardinals took another beating from the Red Sox. The boys were not pleased. Here are a few pre-game pictures since they were having no part of the camera when it was all over! They both go back at it on Saturday! Good luck, Boys!

Happy Birthday Nicklaus Smith!!

Nicklaus Smith is Andrew's best friend! He has known him his whole life and they have always played so well together! Bryon, Kim and I often joke about the trouble they will get in when they are teenagers. We live two doors down so it is entirely possible! I put a few of my favorite pictures from over the past couple years on here so everyone can see how big and grown up they are getting! Nicklaus, we hope you have a wonderful birthday and I am so happy that you and Drew are such good friends! You are a super fantastic little boy and we love you!
