Supercross in Atlanta

2010-03-06T15:04:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday we spent the day in Atlanta going to the Supercross race at the Georgia Dome.This is our second year to take Caleb and he loves it.We always have such a great time together as a family.Caleb got to meet some of the riders and he thought that was so cool.His favorite rider won the race and that made it worth the whole trip.

Valentine's/World of Wheels

2010-02-27T06:43:00.001-08:00

I'm a little behind on my blogging.Things have been busy around here and I have not had a lot of time to catch up.We had a wonderful Valentine's.It was kinda low key but I didn't mind because I got to spend it with my two special Valentine's.Saturday night we went to dinner with my sister and her family and then on Valentine's day we went to church and then met Alex's aunt & uncle for lunch and we all took Caleb and his cousin Jackson to the World of Wheels.They had a great time and I was happy just to be spending the day with my family.Its funny as you get older and get your own family how the fancy things you thought you had to have don't really matter anymore.The best things in life are just being with the ones that you love.Our rotten little boy did get a Nintendo DS for Valentine's thanks to all our family who gave Caleb money to get one and games to go with it.We are so blessed beyond words to have such loving family.We are headed to the Georgia Dome in Atlanta to watch the supercross race tonight so I know I will have pics to post later.Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Fun in the Snow

2010-02-12T17:45:00.001-08:00

We had such a wonderful time in the snow today.Alex and I were both off work and Caleb's school was closed so we all got to spend the day together watching it snow and playing.I hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's this weekend!!

Caleb's 5th Birthday!!!

2010-01-17T13:15:00.000-08:00

Yes I am a little behind on my blogging.I usually do pretty well but the Holiday's got the best of me and time just got away.Having a child with a birthday so close to Christmas doesn't help.On December 22nd our little man turned 5 years old and yes I had a real hard time with it.I don't know why but 5 has just seemed so old and he has changed so much over the last year.This little boy has brought so much joy to my life and I can't thank God enough for bringing him into our lives.Caleb celebrated his 5th birthday at FunTime Skate Center with family and friends.He had such a wonderful party and some of the adults even caught up on their skating.Thanks to all who made this day so special for Caleb!!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Mackenzie!!!

2010-01-17T12:49:00.001-08:00

Last weekend we celebrated some of our good friends little girl Mackenzie's 3rd Birthday at Pump it Up.The kids had such a great time.The weather was so cold outside & it was great to be indoors jumping to stay warm.My little nephew enjoyed the big slides as well.After the party we all went out to dinner and had a great time.Its so neat to watch our children growing up together like we all did.

Christmas Morning

2009-12-27T11:14:00.001-08:00

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!I know we did!.These are some pics from Christmas morning.Caleb was so excited when he saw what all santa had left him.He must have been a good boy this year because he got sooooo much stuff.This was a really fun age for us.My sister came over that morning to see what Caleb got from santa and I got a few pics of my sweet nephew on his first Christmas.God has really blessed us this last year and I know that 2010 will be much of the same.Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!!!

Halloween Fun

2009-11-01T17:02:00.001-08:00

We had such a great Halloween!We started the night at Alex's parents so they could get pics of Caleb and then we got together with my family and some friends of the family at my sister's to eat dinner and let the kids trick or treat there neighborhood.Caleb nad Kenzie had such a great time and got soooo much candy.My little nephew and my good friend Ashley's baby girl stayed back at the house and helped my sister pass out candy to all the kids.It was a lot of fun to watch the kids get so excited and I can't wait to do it again next year.

Happy 6th Year Anniversary!!

2009-05-31T18:34:00.000-07:00

This weekend we celebrated our 6 year anniversary.We had a wonderful weekend together.As boring as it may seem I wanted a tree for our anniversary.So on Saturday we went to pick out a tree together & some flowers and we did a little landscaping to our yard.We had a lot of fun planting it together and we just laughed the entire time beacuse neither one of us knows a lot about gardening.I thought it all turned out really good and I am looking forward to watching it grow together and remembering that we planted it together.After a hard day in the yard we went to dinner that night while mimi and grandaddy kept Caleb.It was great to have some mommy and daddy time.I really am blessed to have such a wonderful husband.Happy Anniversary Alex I love you very much!!!

Happy Birthday Uncle Dale!!

2009-05-23T17:03:00.000-07:00

Were Back Home With No Pictures

2009-05-05T17:30:00.000-07:00

We got back home from Gatlinburg today around 3:00.We had such a great trip but I am sad to report that all my photos got deleted by accident while Caleb was looking at them on the trip home.I was so upset when it happened but Caleb was even more upset.He started crying and saying I'm sorry mommy over and over so it was really hard to be mad at him.We left early Friday morning and got there around lunch time.We went with my sister and brother-in-law.We did so many things but going to DollyWood was one of our favorite.Caleb loved it and was able to ride a lot of rides.It was not crowded at all so we never waited over 5 minutes to ride anything.We did some shopping, a lot of eating,went to an inside water park,rode go-karts & played putt-putt golf.We deffinitely did about all you could do.I hate I don't have any photos to share but I do have the memories of the great time we all shared together to last a lifetime.Hope everyone is having a great week!!!

Easter Morning

2009-04-12T06:14:00.001-07:00

The Easter bunny was deffinitely good to Caleb this year.He was so excited when he woke up and saw what he had gotten.It is so much fun having kids and watching their faces when they get so excited.We have a busy day ahead starting with church and then off to my families for lunch and an easter egg hunt and then to Alex's families for dinner and another egg hunt.I know we will all be tired by the end of the day but I am looking forward to seeing everyone.Hope everyone has a great Easter Sunday and I will post more pics from our fun day later.

2009-04-11T13:42:00.000-07:00

Caleb got his Easter present from MiMi and Grandaddy last night.One of his favorite things he got was his bubble gun machine.He loved it so we had to try it out today.It is really cool and puts out a lot of bubbles.

My Baby is Growing Up

2009-04-10T18:44:00.000-07:00

I finally gave in and let Caleb get his hair buzzed today.He has been wanting it done and has such thick hair but I couldn't bare the thought of him looking older.He is my baby and its hard to except the fact that he is growing up on me.He loves his new haircut and has just been rubbing his head all day.When Mrs. Vicki started buzzing it off I had to hold back the tears.My sister was there with us so she helped me hold it together.He looks so handsome & I know I am going to love it for the summer.It is deffinitely easier to take care of.I forgot to take my camera with me when he got it cut but here are a few pics. He has had a busy day so one is when he crashed on the couch.We have a very busy weekend ahead with all the Easter activities so I hope everyone has a happy Easter and I will post pics later from all our fun.

Nighttime Easter Egg Hunt

2009-04-04T18:39:00.000-07:00

Tonight at the Moncrief Park in Gardendale they had their annual nighttime Easter Egg Hunt.There was lots of food and games for the kids and when it gets dark the children turn on their flashlights and hunt for hundreds of eggs.It was a lot of fun and Caleb loved it.Some of his friends from school were there and he thought that was great.I did not get hardly any pictures because my camera batteries died om me but once it got dark it was hard to take pictures anyway.We still have lots of Easter events ahead of us so I know I will get plenty of pictures.Hope everyone has a great rest of their week!!

I'm Going to be an Aunt to another Baby Boy!!

2009-03-26T17:17:00.000-07:00

As some of you already know my sister is pregnant and due in August.Today was the big day to find out what she was having.My sister and I are really close so I was thrilled when she asked Caleb and I to go with them to find out.The verdict was that we are going to have another baby boy in the family.For those that don't know I have another nephew,my brother has a little boy,so that makes all three grandchildren boys.I love boys and I am super excited to have another nephew.Caleb is so excited that the baby is going to be a boy and I know he will be a great big cousin.My sister is doing great with her pregnany and the report today was that everything was great with the baby.I can't wait to meet him.

Camping/Buddy Race

2009-03-21T18:11:00.001-07:00

We have had a great but very busy Spring Break week.Caleb got back Friday from going with my dad to Chattanooga and they had a wonderful time.Friday night we camped out where Alex would be having his Buddy race on Saturday afternoon.Caleb loved camping and is already asking to do it again.As most know my husband rides dirtbikes and does races in the woods.A Buddy race is a race where you have a partner and ya'll take turns racing for a total of 8 laps.Alex's partner was our good friend and neighbor John and they did really well.Lots of people raced and turned out to watch the race.It was a fun weekend but we are all tired and calling it a night early.Hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend.

2009-03-17T19:16:00.000-07:00

We had a great day today.I was off work so me & Caleb spent the day with MiMi and Grandaddy going to watch Aunt Kelsey play softball.She is away at school and we had not seen her in about a month so it was great to get to see her and Caleb was very excited.He loves both his Aunts very much and always enjoys being with them.Caleb has a busy week ahead.My dad is picking him up tomorrow to go to Chattanooga to the Tennesse Aquarium,Look Out Mountain and Rock City.They will be back Friday and then we are going Camping Friday night and watching daddy race on Saturday.I'm sure I will have lots of pics to post later.I Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week.

2009-03-15T07:12:00.000-07:00

I got back from my trip to Atlanta for work last night.We all had a great time together and did manage to learn some new material from our classes.We didn't have a lot of free time but we did go to a fun party that the Practice Works meeting put on for everyone & went to a very nice place for dinner one night.It was a quick but fun trip and I was happy to get home to my boys.Their camping trip got cancelled due to the weather but they still had a great guys weekend.Caleb has a busy week ahead because it is Spring Break at his school and my dad is taking him to Chattanooga,TN for a few days to the Aquarium and to Rock City and Look Out Mountain and then me,daddy and Caleb are all going on the camping trip that was cancelled and going to watch daddy in his race on Saturday.I hope everone has a great week and a fun Spring Break if they go anywhere.I forgot there is one pic of my sister who is 19 weeks pregnant and finds out next Thursday what she is having.She is so precious pregnant and I can't wait to meet my new niece or nephew.

2009-03-11T19:32:00.000-07:00

After work tomorrow I am heading to Atlanta for the weekend for a work conference.I'm going with all the girls from work so it will be fun even though we will be taken several classes.We also get to do some non work related activities while we are there and those are always fun.Caleb and Alex will be having a fun boys weekend and are planning to go camping if the weather allows.I know they will have a great time together while I'm away but I will miss them both very much.I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will post pics later from all the weekend fun.

Hard Day

2009-03-07T18:36:00.000-08:00

This is what happens when the weather is nice and Caleb gets to enjoy a hard day of playing outside.We went to my Grandmother's today to help her with some Spring cleaning and Caleb played outside all day with my dad and uncle playing ball and helping in the garden.My sister and I helped our Grandmother with some cleaning and then went and did a little shopping.It was a great day and I am loving the warm weather.Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Fun in the Snow

2009-03-01T12:08:00.000-08:00

We could hardly believe it when we woke up to all the snow this morning.Caleb was so excited and could not wait to get outside.The snow was beautiful and I wish it could have lasted longer but atleast we could play for awhile.Caleb and Alex had snow ball fights,rode on mats down the hill beside our house & made small snowmen.It was a great day of fun and now we are all inside trying to get warm.Hope everyone had fun and has a great week ahead.

Supercross 2009

2009-02-22T14:00:00.001-08:00

Yesterday was the big Supercross race in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome.We had such a great time and Caleb had a blast.The expression on his face was priceless when he walked into the Georgia Dome for the first time and saw the track.Our seats were great,we were about three rows up from the track itself.Caleb got to meet some of the riders and get pictures and autographs when we went in the pits.It was a fun family time and Caleb already wants to go back.

2009-02-20T14:26:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone had a great week.I know I sure was ready for the weekend.We are leaving early in the morning headed to Atlanta to tske Caleb to the Georgia Dome to watch the big Supercross race that comes every year.He is so excited because of course he loves dirtbikes and he is going to get to go in the pits and meet some of the racers that he has only ever seen on T.V.We will spend the whole day there and then the race actually starts at 7:30 that night.So it will be a long day and night but I know we will have a great time.Hope everyone has a great weekend & I will post pics from our fun trip when we get back.

Happy Valentine's!!

2009-02-13T18:01:00.000-08:00

We went ahead and celebrated our Valentine's with Caleb tonight because my sister is taking him to the McWane Center tomorrow for his Valentine gift from her and he is spending the night with her because my brother-in-law is a paramedic and will be on his 24 hour shift for Valentine's.Tonight we gave him a small gift & then we went to Stix with my sister & her husband.Caleb loved Stix.Next Saturday we are all going to Atlanta to the Georgia Dome to take Caleb to the big Supercross race so that was actually his Valentine present.So me and my hubby will have the entire day & night to ourselves tomorrow for Valentine's.We haven't yet decided what we are going to do but I know we will do something fun.Thanks Aunt Kristi for keeping Caleb tomorrow so mommy and daddy can have some time together.You are the best Sister!!!Hope everyone has a great Valentine's!!!

As most of you already know I work for an Orthodontist office.So after nine years of working there I finally got braces today.I had them when I was about 12 but did not wear my rets like I should have and my teeth shifted.I can't believe I finally did it but I am glad I did.My teeth are a little sore but that should get better in a few days.We are going to the Cicus tomorrow so I am sure I will have pics to post from that.Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

2009-01-18T07:51:00.000-08:00

Friday was Caleb's 4-year-old check up at the doctor and he got a great report.He now weighs 42 pounds & is 41 inches tall.I can't believe how much he has grown in the last year.All the examinations turned out fine.He had to get one booster shot and he was not crazy about that since we thought we didn't have to get one this time,but he was very brave.We are so blessed and thank God every day for such a healthy little boy.Well we have a busy day planned.We are off to church & then the children and youth are going to the movies & tonight we are having a party for my sister-in-law who's Birthday is Tuesday.It seems like everything is always crammed into one day.I should have lots of pics to post later.Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!!!

I haven't blogged in awhile because we suprisingly have not been up to much.After the rush of Decemeber everything has slowed down just a little.We got back to work and school this past week & that was hard for me but Caleb was ready to see his friends.I just can't believe my little boy is four years old.Where does the time go?We are going to a birthday party at Froggies(a pump it up place) tonight so I will post pics from that later.I Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!!

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year.Caleb had so much fun & his face was priceless when he saw his new bike.This was such a fun age for him.Santa was so good to him & I am wondering where we will put all the new stuff he got.We had a very busy day & finally at bath time tonight we got Caleb to take off his new riding gear.He wanted to sleep in it.We are so very blessed for all that we have been given.I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

As most probally know Caleb is obsessed with dirt bikes & that is what he has asked Santa for this year.We took him to a supercross race tonight in Cleveland and of all people Santa showed up riding on a dirt bike.Caleb was so excited & got his picture made with him.He made sure to tell him one last time that he wanted a real dirt bike.He has seen Santa three times & has told each Santa the exact same thing.We had a great time tonight & it was fun watching all the racers.Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
