Looking @ The Sky on Friday

LATSOF,Looking at the sky on Friday
This was the view from my back yard this morning as the sun was rising! It was a beautiful morning with a bit of an overcast sky creeping in, so I was glad to be able to capture this image. It's getting to the time of the year where the weather is pleasant and one can stand to be outside and snap photographs! I am getting excited about fall! Hope you are too. Can't wait to see what you all come up with for your LATSOF entries!

Happy Birthday Emily

Photobucket
Two years ago today my third child was born. Emily Grace has truly been a gift from God. We thought our family was complete after our second child. Thankfully our plans were not the same as the divine plan God had for us. He blessed us with sweet little Emily and I can't imagine our family without her!

Emily's new ride:  Princess 4 Wheeler
I remember when I was pregnant people would ask me what I wanted to have and I thought that I would like to have a boy since Tyler would be closest in age to the new one.  As it turns out God gave me what I wanted only in another girl!  Emily is what you'd call a "Tom" boy.  She loves to play with cars.  In fact we got my nephew a monster truck for his birthday and she insisted that I open it because she thought it was hers!
Photobucket
The truck chants:  "Big Foot, Big Foot" - so she danced!
She's so sweet and she's such a talker. She loves her big brother and sister and she's quite the daddy's girl. I can't imagine our family without her. What a joy she's been in our lives. We are going to celebrate her birthday on Saturday with her cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.  Happy Birthday sweet Emily Grace.  We love you to pieces!

Age Doesn't Make You Forgetful, Does It?!?!

Photobucket
Should I be worried that I am 32 years old and I've lost my car twice this week in the Wal-Mart parking lot?!?! Seriously, I am not talking about just walking out and being in the wrong aisle only to realize that I was one aisle over. I am talking about walking around on the hot asphalt with the sun beaming down full force almost in tears using my key ring "clicker" to hear my van or see the flashing lights!!

Today it happened and I began by chuckling when a few folks laughed and asked, "Did you lose your car?". At first, I just laughed and remembered that I was on the phone with my sister when I pulled up and I must have just forgotten where I parked. I knew I had a fairly close spot, because I was excited about being by the door. I had to go to the restroom, so I kept thinking that I went in on the side where the restrooms were closest. Unfortunately, after about 15 minutes of endless, frantic searching I realized that it clearly wasn't the case!
Photobucket
Finally after searching every aisle on that side, I went to the other and there it was! I think that a light shone down from heaven with a big arrow pointing me to the van when I finally saw it! I could hear trumpets sound and all was well. Of course I was still hot, sticky, and completely embarrassed! I am serious when I say that I was almost in tears thing that someone had stolen my mini-van! Why on earth would someone want to steal a mini-van?! I have no idea, but surely a 32 year old mother of three would not just lose it, right?!?!

Earlier in the week I did the same thing.  Only I was on the right side, just wasn't walking down far enough.  Oh, and then there was a few weeks ago when the entire family (hubby drove) went to Wal-Mart and when we started out I reminded him that we were on the other side.  There's no sense in walking around in the heat anymore than we have to, so we walked out and there was NO van.  Finally hubby chimed in that we were on the other side.  I argued a bit that he was wrong and then decided to flatter him because by this time I think that I'd lost 10lbs in sweat.  When we found the van, he was beaming from ear to ear because he was right and I was wrong.  I couldn't be angry, because I was never so happy to see an air conditioned vehicle!

Now, this leads me to my concern.  I  mentioned that I am still fairly young.  Forgetting where I left my keys, shoes, purse, etc...that's one thing, but forgetting where I left my vehicle, I would place that in a slightly larger category of things that one should not misplace!!  Thankfully, all three kids are accounted for (I think!!) and I haven't lost one yet.  But, I'm not making any promises with this mind of mine.  It is CrAzY ya know!!!  In the meantime I'm contacting "The Hoff" to inquire purchasing KIT, the talking car so when I am ready to go he can meet me at the door!  ;)

Sleep Comes Easy For A 5 Year Old!

Tyler has fallen asleep in some awkward positions in all of his 5 years. I guess every child has fallen asleep at the table at some point. Tyler fell asleep a few months back when he was eating. Although we chose to have dinner in the living room that night because we'd drove through a fast food joint on the way home late one evening, he fell asleep before he'd taken the first bite of fries on this night.

Photobucket


He's fallen asleep while in the car, too many times to count. I have never seen a kid sleep so sound in such odd places and positions!
Photobucket


But, last night definitely takes the cake on sleep positions! He was in trouble and forced by his dad to sit on the couch. He was of course angry that he was made to sit down but also so tired he could hardly stand it. Brien said that one minute he was thrashing around and crying to get up and the next minute he was quiet. He had fallen asleep just like this:

Now, I have to mention that he stayed like this for a good 20-30 minutes before he finally bent his legs and sat on the floor. Never fully waking, he rubbed his eyes a bit and looked around then just laid on the floor and was again fast asleep!

How Do You Get Gum Out Of Hair?

PhotobucketSaturday morning I had the opportunity to get out of the house without any children.  As a busy mother of three, I rarely have that kind of time..."ME" time!  On this day, I got to enjoy my time shopping.  No, not the kind of shopping you might think.  I didn't get to pick out a cute new outfit with matching shoes.  I got to go grocery shopping!  Is it sad that I get excited because I get to go to Wal-Mart alone?!  That's exactly how exciting my life really is.

While I was at Wal-Mart, my husband kept all three of the kids.  I don't think I had been gone for 20 minutes before I got a phone call from him asking:

"How do you get gum out of hair?"

Yes, of course I told him to try peanut butter and ice.  I finished my shopping wondering how bad the gum was and whether or not he'd gotten it out.

Photobucket
When I returned home, I think Shelby had a half a jar of peanut butter on her head.  The good thing is that most of the gum is out of her hair.  Apparently her brother was trying to blow a bubble and he blew the gum into her hair.  It was that shredded gum,, the "baseball" gum given to him by someone...the same someone who gave the kids ducks and chickens at Easter.  Needless to say, she no longer has gum in her hair and Tyler no longer has a pack of birthday gum.

Just How Old is Old?!

Photobucket
Emily Grace being herself - SILLY!
Next week my little Emily will turn 2! Can you believe it?! It seems like just yesterday I was shocked to discover that we were having baby number three!! She has been such a joy to our lives and I didn't realize how incomplete our family was without her. The kids and I were talking this morning about Emily's birthday. Tyler just turned 5. Nine days after his 5th birthday, Brien had a birthday. He kept asking when his daddy's party was going to be. Tyler's birthday was on a Monday so he had a birthday party the following Saturday. I explained to him that when you get older you don't really have birthday parties.

When we were talking about Emily's birthday this morning and Tyler again asked when Daddy's party was going to be.

PhotobucketShelby replied: "Daddy doesn't have a party 'cause he's older."

Tyler: "Daddy is not old, Memaw and Papaw are old. Daddy is just BIG, not little like us, but he's not old like Memaw and Papaw!"

Shelby: "I just mean that when you're not a little kid, then you don't get that many presents or a cake. That means you're old."

You don't have to disclose your age. You may be old (32) like me or even older (33) like my husband. But, what do you think makes you old...or young!

Fall is on it's way!

Temperatures this morning were in the 60s when we went outside to load up and head to school, daycare, and work! It is absolutely beautiful today!!! In fact, the rest of the week is looking to be awesome! I am so ready for fall. Not only for the cooler temperatures, but the fun things you get to do in the fall. It is one of my favorite times of the year.

Photobucket

There's beautiful, changing scenery with vibrant colors, pumpkin carving, Fall Festivals, big piles of leaves to jump in, apple pie, pumpkin pie, turkey and dressing!!! What is your favorite thing about fall?! Do you like to see it come or would you rather see it go?!

I am so blessed to live in this beautiful world created by the master whom I love. His miracles never cease to amaze me and I am forever grateful for his power and mercy!
