Nothing

Again, I am so frustrated with myself! I want to be a blogger. I want to stay up on the friends I have left, found and made. I want to document the adventures of my life. Yes, I am frustrated! Why can't I just type a few words here and there! I am so an all or nothing kind of girl! I am either blogging like a mad woman or nothing- Yep, I'm at the nothing! Grrrrrr.

How do you keep up the blogging? When do you blog (late ant night, wee in the morning)?

Where have I been?!?

Where have I been? Hmmm...where do I begin?!

We (actually, Little Bit) has started potty training himself-Bummer. I wasn't ready yet!

He loves to go "PeePee" and "Yucky" in the musical potty!

He actually goes to the potty all the time- he loves it!

He really is doing wonderful and we owe it all to his big brother.

Little Bit wants to do everything like the K-Man

The K-man has started swimming lessons...which he loves!
If you can believe it, his swimming teacher lives only 2 minutes away!Yes, she actually lives in our small little town!I just drop him off and return to see a smiling wrinkled toed little boy!

Aren't the goggles priceless!?!

Our garden, Gordon, is continuing to produce veggies, and now fruit, left and right! My adorable husband counted 25 cantaloupe just waiting for us out there! We also have a watermelon getting larger everyday...AND let me just say we all have a bit of a yellow tint to our skin because of all the SQUASH we have been eating!Along with our garden...it is peach season up here! So the peaches are everywhere just waiting to be added to a fresh peach cobbler or homemade ice cream!

If all of this is not enough we have moved the boys in the same room. Yes, now they are roomies! Let's just say that has been it's own fun little adventure! They love it! Pictures to come of the room.

We have been getting really involved in our small little church family. We are well into the Summer Bible Reading Club. We have about 70 signed up- 26 are kids! We also have our toes in a few other pools helping here and there. My adorable husband got a church softball team together and their first game is tonight- Go team!

We have been a bit busy, but we are loving every minute of it! I have not had the chance to be near the computer much- I glanced at my e-mail and I had 70 new messages- oops! That's my next stop!

This is where I have been!

Kiddy Up!

This week has been a week of rodeo fun for the kids~ We went to the Sheriff's Posse Parade on Wednesday. We were a bit late because I forgot my camera and didn't realize it before we got stuck on the major highway without a turn around for miles!! Oops- It was a bit warm to say the least, but with a little shade from the car and a bottle of water in hand the parade was worth it.
The boys got a ton of candy- that my adorable husband ate while nobody was looking! Poor kids-

This parade is a bit different then most...it is primarily made up of horses, big trucks and

TRACTORS! You would not believe how many picture K-man asked me to take of specific horse (mostly Paints) and tractors-Ha!

Along with this week came boots...

Wranglers...

and Cowboy hats!

Yep-we are ready for any trail ride or rodeo~

The K-man was beside himself with excitement waiting to go to the rodeo.
Well, last night with much anticipation we went! I cried during The National Anthem while all three of my boys removed their hats and "my" little small town stopped to pay tribute to those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedoms. I laughed as Little Bit kept saying"MORE!" waiting for the next event and wiped sticky hands... As the boys had their first taste of...
Cotton Candy!
We ended the night at around 10:30 pm when the last bull was ridden and all the goats, pigs and sheep had been petted by the boys- Ha! You think I'm kidding! K-Man kept saying the goats were his favorite part followed by the "buckin' bulls!"
The ride home was a full conversation between my adorable husband and the K-man on what animal we would get first... how we need 2 horses... and how we should build a barn for the animals. Whew~ I am still trying to wrap my brain around raising animals, straw cowboys hats and the smell of manure. Who says life's not an adventure!?!
Just to let you know...I wore shorts and crocs to the rodeo~

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day, Babe~
Little Bit wants to be just like his Daddy- HeeHee! Just the ties~

We love you!

Bring on the heat!

The temperatures are starting to spike... But we are loaded and ready!

Bring on the Heat!

Blenvy

I must confess I have blenvy...Have you not heard what this is? Let Laurie explain! I read other blogs and wonder: "why can't I write like that?", "my days are so boring.", "do other mothers ever sleep?", "I could do that if I had the time or the money!, "her blog is so cute", "Oh,..."-you name it! I know, I know it's just horrible- However,I thought I was the only one! NOPE! ...Relief!

So, what am I doing about it...I'm focusing on my own blessings for the day (I have read some "10 blessing Tuesdays" from other bloggers), I'm stepping back and focusing on what my purpose in life is (to bring joy and honor to God), and I'm being happy for those around me and what they have learned and are willing to share.

So, really blenvy is not that bad- it can help you have a reality check!

Do you have Blenvy?

What are you doing about it?

Fuming

I am fuming!!!! I was just at Cracker Barrel with the boys for a fun lunch and I about got ran over! No, not outside, but while trying to pay. First, I was standing in line with the boys when these ladies kept moving right up on me. At one point I had bent over to pick up something off the floor and one of the darling ladies pushed right in front of me. I smiled and slowly worked my way back in line. THEN while I was trying to keep the K-man in sight and hold Little Bit while signing the receipt the little darling lady started moving closer handing the lady behind the counter her receipt...I was still trying to put everything back in my purse and get the kids in order when the lady behind the counter starts the new transaction and the darling lady was practically pushing me out of the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not the only time I have felt like I was being run over while trying to finish a purchase. This happens at grocery stores and department stores. Before I can get my change back in my purse and grab my bags the next person is being checked out and I am being "pushed" out of the way by the next customer!

What has happened to the "Hi, how are you?" What has happened to the slow paced, enjoy the day world I know I remember as a child. Everyone is such in a hurry for nothing! What...To be to the car two seconds faster?! I wish this world would just SLOW DOWN! Come on...Smell the ROSES -or do you even know what those are!!!

BREATH... Ok, I am back and better!
