Pro Bowl Here We Come

My man L.T. (Landon Thomas) was chosen

to play in the FYSFL Pro Bowl!!!!

We are so very proud of him!

He played Tight End.

This is the perfect position for him!

He has grown so much during this spring league.

Before every game and sometimes during games

L.T. would lead the team in their "pump up" chant!!!

I love seeing him do this.

He definetely has some MAJOR team spirit!!

Next weekend we will travel to Tarpon Springs, Fl to watch

the east and west battle it out for the State Championship!

(The Bucs came close, but lost last week!)

L.T. and all the other kids chosen to play on the Pro Bowl teams

will be recognized and given their jerseys!

The following Saturday in Titusville will be the

Pro Bowl game!

Landon has no idea yet.

We are surprising him tonight with a cake!

He is going to be sooo excited!

Birthday's Galore

Mom got to enjoy her birthday with both of her children and

ALL of her grandbabies this year.

It made for a very special birthday!

Corbin turned 7 on the 11th!

Crazy.

That's my baby boy and he is 7!

Not sure if I like that.

He wanted his special birthday lunch to be at

Hooters...of all places!

Tickle made him an awesome football cake!

He loved it! He celebrated by having 3 of his friends over for the night! I think they had great fun! And, Toby's grandmother celebrated her 99th birthday!!! Isn't that amazing! BTW, her sister just turned 102. I think my MIL will have some major longevity. Hopefully, that will get passed down to my children!!! It's been a great month so far...only a few more day until March. I am so looking forward to spring.

Storytime

I so longed for a sweet little girl and now that I have her I don't know what to do with her! I know for a fact that I am so not into the whole "playgroup" thing anymore. It's like I don't know what to do with a toddler. They need interaction. I feel so bad for her. She is here at he house with me all day long...with nobody to play with!

I can't lie. I just really don't want to sit down and play with her. There are way to many other things I'd rather be doing. And no, I don't mean laundry!

So, today I strapped on my "good mommy" boots and took my little "sweet peaches" to the Main Library downtown! They are celebrating their 5yr. birthday for the new building! It was great fun for us both. I enjoyed watching her during the sing-a-longs and the storytelling. She had such a sweet smile on her face the whole time. She also really enjoyed the art and craft part! It was a great afternoon!

A few fun photos...

Here are a few random photos...

Halloween with all the creepy peeps, except for Emerson!

Baylor enjoying his Birthday Brownies...

Toby and Landon enjoying their Bowl Game victory...

I took a few (150 to be exact) pics of Emerson. Trying to play around with my camera! Here is my FAV from our "photo shoot"...

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Forever and A Day

Yeah! So, it's been awhile. I've been in hiding. Ha! So much has gone on that I cannot even begin to back track...so, I'm starting fresh from today! Today is Baylor's 9th Birthday! I am amazed at what an incredible person he is. He is so smart and responsible, as well, as handsome and sweet. I love him to pieces. Toby and I picked him up from school early and took him to Zaxby's (his choice) and then we went to the mall where he picked out the jersey of his choice - Matt Ryan from the Atlanta Falcons! Now to cook him some brownies and some steak and chicken for dinner!!

TWF

I want a pair of these...

Just to take me away for a little while!!

I'll come back later.

I promise.

I've been hearing, "Ding, ding, ding!" ALL day!

Thumb Wrestling!

There's little peices of paper all over my house.

And tape.

They are having fun.

I guess a little paper can't hurt, right?

Make your very own right here! Have fun!

The BEST Place On Earth

This is our Favorite place.

It's my Aunt's Lake Place.

The kids look forward to going here every summer.

Compass Lake.

Relaxing.

Beautiful.

FUN.

We had friends join us for a few days this trip.

I always hate leaving!

Thanks Uncle Larry and Aunt Cheryl!

President's Day, Potty Training and Tea...

Oh, I can't seem to get motivated today! I think it's because it is Monday and Monday's are always hard for me! I thought that since the kids were out of school that it would be a fun day, but instead it's just a blah day. Oh well.

Last night Emmie decided that she didn't want her diaper on. She's been doing this lately and I go with it for a little while then we move right back to the diaper. She was ready to do this in September so I'm guessing at this point she's really ready! I left her "Big Girl" underware on her last night for bed. I don't know what I was thinking because she sleeps with us, but she woke up dry! I couldn't believe it. She's done good most of the day, but the last 3 times she's wet her pants. I am going to stick with it though. It will be really nice this summer not dealing with diapers and the pool. I never did like those swim diapers ~ YUCK! The boys were all over 3 years old when they trained so she is a bit younger than them. I used the book potty Training in Less than A day. It worked really good, but I really don't have the luxury of being confined to the house for a week. If anyone has any tips on potty training young girls let me know!

Right now I am enjoying a hot cup of Peppermint Tea! Yummy! I love peppermint and it's caffine free which is nice! I think next time I go to the store I will pick up the white chocolate kiss. It sounds really yummy.

Maybe my day is blah because I'm potty training ~ unexpectedly! Wish me luck.

Happy Birthday, Lil Man!!!

My baby boy is 6 today!

Here's 5 of my Favorite things about Corbin:

1. He is so silly.

2. When he smiles his whole face lights up!

3. He is tough as nails ~ he has to put up with 2 older brothers!

4. He is very determined.

5. He loves his baby sister!

WHAT?????

So, that's what she said when I saw her! "What, Mommy?"

"Wiptick, Mommy!"

"Dis how Mommy."

"pweety!"

Thank the good Lord above that my first 3 were boys! I cannot imagine having done this 3 other times before. She is such a girl with a BIG passion for wiptick!! Who could blame her?

Jumping Bean

Boy do we love the trampoline!!! It is great entertainment! I think they jump everyday until dark! Emerson loves it soooo much! She's so funny!

Baylor is our stunt man, if you can't tell. No fear!! I wish I were a kid again. What fun that would be!

So Proud

I am so proud of Landon! He recieved Honorable Mention on his Science Fair Project! I'm not gonna lie, these projects are for the birds! Last year, as a third grader, he was expected to do one of these and he had no clue what a science fair project was. Well, this year we took it in stride and did not stress over it. He wanted to do his project related to football somehow. Well, we started researching some ideas and decided to test reaction time! He named his project "Act Fast". These projects, for those of you that haven't had the pleasure of doing one with a 10 year old, are so far beyond their years. Landon's not a dumb kid, but he ain't brillant either. Needless to say, I did have a hand in the project. Last year, we recieved a "B" and I was so mad!! But this year, we did all right, if I don't say so myself!! He was beaming! He was bummed though when he realized that there were several other Honorable Mention ribbons handed out. But, maybe this will make him want to try even harder next year!
