Zoe (8-second grade) and Hannah (5-Kindergarten) Zoe did not get a individual photo made as I requested their photos made together but Ms. Moore, Hannah's teacher, wanted one made of her for the end of year portfolio. Kayci didn't have one because they don't take photos in preschool but my last post has all three girls.

It is school picture day and I took a picture of the girls before they left for school. As you can see, Kayci was not about to be left out;)so she is in one too!

It has been so busy around here that I have not had a lot of time to post as I'd like too; but, at least I can show you what's been occupying some of my (and Mark's) time:) PROJECTS: Zoe entered the science fair--aided by her wonderful daddy--and won second place.  We go on to regional on March 18th. This was her project: She has also been busy with her regular class projects...we really like it

Today Mark and I have been married for ten years yet it feels, in so many ways, like we've been together for our whole life. I guess that's the way it's supposed to feel when you meet your life's mate, the one that God handpicked and fashioned for you, even before you were born. It is awe-inspiring to me to realize that the God who created the universe, was planning our meeting even as he was

My darling husband,Before you return from your business trip, I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately  it's not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me. I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator

I am sure that by now you have heard the old adage that everything happens in three's...of course it is usually assumed that these are bad things but still, it seems to hold true, or at the very least we find a way to add the "it's" up to three...whatever they may be. First, I want to add a disclaimer for this post as I have basically had no sleep for the past few nights due to one of those "

I think we'd all be lying if we didn't agree that our lives, at times, are a comedy of errors.  As with all comedies, it is always easier to laugh when the joke is not on you. Such were the events of the past few days, although if I had to be honest, I did laugh a little, if for no other reason than to keep from going "wonky". You're thinking, "Quit rambling and get on with it"! So,on with the

Here are Hannah's latest projects for school.  They were optional, and each was worth 25 bear bucks (these things are better than gold)!!  As you can see, she went "all in" for the maximum 75 bucks!  She is saving her bucks to try for a chance to take home the stuffed monkey named "Marvin" for Thanksgiving break. It's a tight race but she is dedicated and with my help made all three projects. (

Hannah had to do a thanksgiving project in which she disguised a turkey so that he wouldn't be eaten for Thanksgiving.  Well, I looked on line for ideas and found this one from 2004.  Which as you can plainly see is displayed in a school window.  If you want to see them all you can visit:Turkey Disguises This IS funny....how can you not laugh! Well, I thought it was too funny

Although I usually make a smilebox for Halloween, I thought I would post some pics of the girls in their Halloween costumes as well. Enjoy! Kayci is a Fairy Angel Princess. The dress is recycled from  Zoe's lyrical costume from her year of dance.  I added the wings, wand and halo.   Hannah is a black cat (of course).  We added a purple skirt (her favorite color) because I needed something to

Now that its all behind me, I can discuss it!  Last week was probably one of the most frightening weeks of my life as far as my health was concerned.  I had been feeling tired, irritated, and just generally bad for several weeks but didn't know why.  Last week I had begun feeling very bad and so I automatically checked my blood sugar-being type 2 diabetic-I thought that was the culprit!

I knew that when I asked for my friend, Candace, to be Zoe's teacher that her school year would be filled with projects of one sort or another.  In fact, if you look back on an earlier post, you will see the project she completed on 'Horses'. Her most recent project was to research an endangered animal, write a paragraph about it and make some sort of  3-D representation of that animal.  She

Being in second grade, Zoe is now having to do some research and projects (with my help) and her first was to research a farm animal (she chose horse) and to make a poster about her animal with photos and decoration of some sort. She glittered her horses and made the one in front 3D. Other 3D effects were the fence, tree and clouds (all made from cotton balls and pretzel sticks) She had quite a

When I opened the door this morning and the cool air hit me in the face, I thought  of cats.  Specifically, my cats that I used to have throughout my childhood and into my single days as an adult.  I remember how the first cool snap of the season would send them into fits of frisky and then it would begin.  Darting and dashing throughout the house with reckless abandon until, of course, they

With all the birthdays that have happened of late, I began thanking about what I like to call, the timeline of a birthday.  It begins when you are a child and can understand what the word 'birthday' means to you.  Not so much the gaining of another year, but the celebration of cake, presents and friends.  This continues to build, in story-like style, until it reaches a climax...usually with the

9/11 quotes and sayings are something many want to remember today. Remembering the 9/11 terrorist attacks is very important for every American. This year, 9/11 is met with even more tension between the US and the Muslim society. Even the Muslim community within the US has been met with anger and animosity mostly due to the 9/11 mosque 300 yards from the WTC Ground Zero which is something that

Well it is hard to believe that my little Kayci is three years old today! Seems like yesterday that I was single, looking into what the future held for me, so many blessings to count these past nine years...so many indeed!Kayci has certainly developed in personality and character these last three years and it is so funny to see how the three girls now interact as sisters.

We moved into a fantastic house with a pool (a childhood dream of mine) I have had three wonderful children in which to experience a second childhood with! I am married to the most extraordinary man and God created him just for me! I am an successful entrepreneur (another dream of mine) of an at-home

Well Monday was my sister's birthday and we celebrated Sunday with her at Mom and Dad's house. I can't believe that she is an adult....makes me feel old, being the oldest I can say that though:)Anyway, she will be leaving Wednesday for Austin to work until August or until she hears which law school she was accepted into. I am so very proud of her and all her accomplishments and I know that she

I know, I have been a terrible blogger of late but I promise to do better and post at least once a week! On a positive note, I have captured two very fun moments for you and here they are! The first is Halloween. We were very lucky to have "Papa Hat", as he has come to be known for us at least, visiting so he got to experience it all first hand! The second, is Hannah's school field trip to

I can't believe that Zoe is really ready for first grade but here she is. She even woke herself up and got readyNan has been my savior on many occasions, one of them being taking Zoe to school on the first day!Zoe poses at her classroom door for a quick picture.Here she is with her teacher Ms. Balli. I have been very blessed to have gotten each teacher that I have requested these past two years!

I realize that I have not posted in a while due to many factors (facebook being a big one of them) so after my leave of absence, I chose an amusing post for your enjoyment! Incidentally, this is why I never take Mark shopping against his will:)After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get

My little Kayci girl is TWO years old today! I can't believe how much she has grown and how fast the time seems to be passing! The old phrase, "Seems like yesterday", is so true as my mind's eye sees it! I am so thrilled to be a part of this wonderful family and I can't wait to see all the tomorrows yet to come!HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYCI....I LOVE YOU!

Kayci and Ty are my "bookends" as I call them. They are always together, argue like a little old couple, and will probably end up dating....it is so funny watching all the children that I keep as they seem to "pair off" all by themselves. Aubrey and Owen have done it and so have Kayci and Ty. Of course, Zoe will continue to make her presence known! She is "mother hen" to all of the babies and

I am glad that they got to enjoy their last day in the AP with Paige just walking along the outskirts of the city. I know that this will be an adventure that will never be forgotten and one of the most precious times spent with Paige! I am so proud of her and that my parents got to spend this time with her......WONDERFUL!

Zoe is losing teeth left and right it seems as she came home today with tooth #5 gone. She is certainly keeping the tooth fairy busy these days!On Friday, her class will be participating in a Mardi Gras parade and they had the choice of either making a float from a shoe box OR being a float. I am sure you can guess which one she chose!Enjoy!

The government.. recently calculated.. the cost of raising a child.. from birth.. to 18 and came up with $160,140.00 for a middle-income family. Talk about price shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.But $160,140.00 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into:* $8,896.66 a year, * $741.38 a month, * $171.08 a week.* A mere $24.24 a day!* Just over a dollar an hour.Still, you
