Road Trip

March Madness

Well, it's been awhile since I last posted. We will start with today's BIG event. Baylor decide it was time to cut the wig! He has been begging to get the spikey do like Corbin. I let them play "hooky" from school and had Aunt Joann come over to cut his hair. He was so anxious waiting on her to get here.

It was almost too much to handle for him - just watching all of his hair fall to floor. I think he really wanted to change his mind at this point!

Here sits the hair that was once on top of his head! After he was finished he wanted to check himself out in the mirror. He told me he wanted to go by himself. Joann and I waited and then we heard the scream, "What did I do?!?!???" He was so upset! He cried and then Aunt Joann cried. After a shower and a fresh perspective he started to like it! He keeps looking at himself in the mirror! It is so cute. I still am getting used to the short do. He looks like Corbin now!

Below are a few things that have brought a smile to my face!

Remembering G.G.

Coloring Easter eggs with G.G. The boys ALWAYS loved doing this with her!

Landon and G.G. at Christmas.

G.G. with some of her great grandbabies at Christmas. She loved being with her family. It was by far the most important thing to her!

Emmie and G.G. having a good chuckle. Baylor and G.G.

Emmie and G.G.

Visiting G.G. at the Life Care Center.

We are ALL going to miss her dearly. She was the glue that held us together. Life will be so different without her in it. I am so thankful that I was able to spend so much time with her. She will be missed so much. We love you, Great Gran!!!

Spread the Love

This morning is a "Bitter Sweet" morning. I am thankful for my wonderful husband, who I love so much, and my sweet, sweet children, but I am consumed with sadness as my whole family prepares for my Gran's passing. She is so close to my heart and my heart is so heavy with grief. I went to visit her in the hospital last night. I am thankful for a "last" moment with her. She is not alert, but I know that she feels our love. The days will be hard as we wait for her time here on earth to end. We are all praying for her to be in peace in heaven with Jesus!

The kids are aware that she is not in good health. Baylor seems to be very upset. He came home from school Friday with a story about GG. He was very emotional yesterday! We have so many wonderful memories with her!

We are all cooped up inside ... it's been raining ALL day long. We were supposed to have Corbin's birthday party Sunday, but it is going to be ANOTHER rainy day!

Corbin turned 5 Wednesday!! He requested a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and a BIG 5 on top!!!

Emmie discovered Tickle's chocolate pound cake one morning! We still don't know how she got it! But she was in chocolate heaven. I chased her around the house trying to get it from her!

Savin' Money, Baby!

I don't know about you guys, but we are on a MAJOR budget around the Crews House! I recently joined CouponMom.com and it is really starting to pay off! I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I am well on my way. This was a great feeling. I really wanted to break the $100 mark, but I was really close. It is getting addicting - like I need to be addicted to something else!

Say Cheese!

Emmie already has 8 teeth and now she has 4 molers cutting through at the same time! Crazy. Lately she is wanting to put everything in her mouth. So, last night while I was checking e-mails and trying to make her happy in the process I was throwing cookies down to her. I looked over at her and she had this face right here. YUM! Tastes good and feels good! I coudn't resist a photo. I still keep laughing at this picture. She is such a cheeseball.

Starting the year off right
