A peek at Us

For Valentines Day Matthew arranged for a sitter for the kids and grandmaw.  He booked us a hotel room down town and we had dinner reservations.  It was a much needed break and a huge surprise. 

Darcy would not buy this hat!  I thought she looked adorable!!!  I couldn't even get her to smile for a picute!  Her favorite store is Clairs.

This is the day that it snowed in Alabama.  I told my kids I'd check them out of school when the first snowflake fail and I did.  They were so excited but it never stuck.  Still holding out hope for snow!!!

My baby is graduating this year.  I can't even talk about it without getting emotional.  This kid has been a part of my life for half of my life!!!!  Its hard to imagine her being off at college.  Its scary.

shocked?

yes i'm blogging.... to tell you the truth i haven't had home internet in months b/c we use our iphones for everything but we recently decided to get home internet so we could try hulu and netflix.  i don't know if anyone checks this or not...

its been a year since i blogged last and so much as happened but i'll save you the loooong post. here's a few things you need to know.

jessica graduates in May and has decided to pursue a career in nursing.  she's going to get a 4 year degree and at the moment we think at UAB.

Darcy, Jacob and Jeremiah played Upwards basketball this year and really enjoyed it for the most part. 

Darcy is in 2nd grade and has been tested for the gifted program.  She's a little artist.  Always painting, drawing or some sort of craft.  She loves to be the teachers helper.  She loved basketball... and is already begging to play again next year. 

Jacob loves cars.  He still takes a handful where ever he goes. He's doing great in school as well.  He's a ladies man and likes to have all the little girls attention. He loved playing basketball.  He likes sports.

Jeremiah's teacher asked us very early on about the gifted program... he's actually a grade too young but they think he should be tested too.  He reads like his daddy.  He loves to play video games and we have to really watch his time or else he'll play all day.  He likes to take things apart and figure them out.

Matthew and I will celebrate 10 years of marriage in September.  We also welcomed his 90 year old grandmother into our home at the end of January.  She has Alzheimer's and it makes for interesting times.  She cannot be left alone so I spend my days watching Gunsmoke and other old tv shows.  Its been a huge adjustment but well worth it. 

Maybe I'll have more time to Blog... we'll see.
