PROUD MOM!!

A couple weeks ago Taylor was given an award for getting a perfect score on her Reading SOL. We are sooo proud of her. I love you Taylor with all my heart!! :)

What a weekend .....

We had a great Holiday weekend! Man, were we busy! Saturday morning I took Taylor to Katina at Western Rider's so she could spend some time with them and ride her horse. Katina is such a good Aunt, she took Taylor's horse to the show for her to be able to ride him there. Taylor was really excited. Oh yeah, on Saturday, Ronnie and I got new cell phones and Taylor has my old cell phone now. She is lovin life! :) She is growing up way too fast for me!! I wish she could go back to being a baby running around in her diapers and her tight curls!! But anyway, after I dropped Taylor off I went home and cleaned the girls room. It took me a good 6 hours to clean their rooms. If it wasn't for Michelle coming over that evening and helping me I think it would have taken me A LOT longer. (Thanks Chell!!) After 12 bags of trash, their room is spotless. Everything is organized and it better stay that way.

Then on Sunday, we went to my mom's for a cookout. We had a really nice laid back time there. Katina and Chip brought their 4 wheelers down. They brought the adult 4 wheeler and then their girls have a 4 wheeler. Kami and Chase drove the 4 wheelers by themselves. It was awesome watching them ride it with out any ones help. I really hope one day we can afford to buy them a 4 wheeler. I did get some pictures from this day that I will post at the end. :) Taylor and Kami ended up spending the night with their Grandma and Chase went home with Katina and Chip. Ronnie and I were kid free. The only thing we did was leave there and then went home and slept.

Then on Monday, I stayed at home and cleaned Chase's room from top to bottom. I ended up getting 6 bags of trash out of his room. Now his room is spotless! Chase even got a new bed from his Grandma and Papa. Thank you Grandma and Papa. Chase loves his bed!! :) While, I was cleaning his room, Ronnie ended up meeting my mom and sister to get the kids. Then Ronnie and the kids went to his mom's for a cookout. He stayed there for about an hour or so. When he got home we left again and went to Heather and Kevin's for a cookout. It was nice hanging out with Heather just relaxing. Ronnie really enjoyed spending time with Kevin.

Well, I hope everyone has an AWESOME day! Enjoy the pictures!! :)

Labor Day Weekend Plans

We are going to have a BUSY labor day weekend! Saturday, if the weather is nice and hot enough we are going to Holiday Lake with Michelle, Aaron, and their boys. We didn't make it last weekend because of two reasons the first one is because when we woke up it looked like it was going to rain and then when it start getting nice, Michelle had to take Aaron to the ER because of he couldn't move his neck or his arm at all. I ended up watching her boys for the whole day while they were at the hospital. But anyway .... Then on Sunday we are going to my mom's for a cookout. I haven't seen my mom since my surgery, when she brought my children back to me and she cleaned my kitchen from head to toe (that was nice!!). I am sure that we will be eating some yummy food and playing some corn hole and darts. We always enjoy ourselves when we go there. Then Monday, we are going over to The Minter's for another cookout. We are going to have so much fun! I can't wait!! We are really excited!!

I will post some pictures from our Holiday Weekend when I get them! Until then, I hope everyone has a really nice LONG weekend!

TGIF ...

Yea, it is Friday!! Once it hits 4:00, the weekend begins!! I am really hoping that it doesn't rain this weekend. We have a lot of plans!! Saturday morning, we are going to Holiday Lake with Michelle, Aaron, and their boys. Then after we get back from there we need to go car shopping!! I really hope we find a vehicle that both Ronnie and I agree on. Then we are heading over to Kevin and Heather's for a cookout around 6pm. I think Sunday we are going to do nothing but stay home and work around our house. I have been wanting to clean every ones closets out and get rid of junk. I think I will do that on Sunday! Sure would love some help!! (hint hint Chell. LOL!). If we don't get rained out this weekend, I am sure we will have lots of pictures from the lake and at Heather's. I know if I don't take pictures @ Heather's she will!! LOL!!

Hope everyone has a nice day and weekend!!! :)

Yorktown ....

This past weekend we went to Yorktown with our friends Angie and Mike. We had a really nice time. Saturday we were rained out because of Hurricane Bill. But we still made the best of it. We let the children swim until 10pm. Then Sunday morning we woke up early and went to Yorktown where they have a little beach and some boardwalk shops. It was really nice. Everyone had a real nice time. We are hoping we can make it back there before the weather turns cold for the fall. The children had A LOT of fun when Ronnie got in the water and swam with them. I hope you enjoy the pictures from our mini-vacation.

Tuesday ...

I go to the doctor today to see how my foot is doing. I am hoping that he says, I can walk on my foot and that I can drive. I sure do miss doing those things!! I get to go back to work tomorrow. Tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday are half days. On Monday I start going back full time. :) I am excited! I miss going to work. We are really missing that money!! LOL!

Today is the kids second day of school. They get to go to Heather's after school today since my doctors appointment is late in the afternoon. They aren't too excited about going back to school so early. We will make up for the lack of summer this year when next summer comes. We are planning a vacation for Myrtle Beach next year. When I go back to work we are going to start a Myrtle Beach savings fund. I would like to take a few long weekends next summer and then a full week. We will see if all this happens. This is my goal for the family! :)

Wednesday, soccer practice starts for the children. Taylor was going to do Fall Softball, but we didn't have the money for it when it was due. So she has decided that she is going to play soccer. Taylor and Chase will be on the same team. Kami will be on a different team, but her Daddy is going to be her coach. She is excited about that!! This year the Soccer Commissioner has asked me take pictures of the games. I have started a blog for the Soccer league too. I am on a roll this year with Ronnie! :) We both are excited though. We really like being involved with the children's school and activities.

Well I will update everyone with what the doctor says and how the first day of practice goes for the children.

First Day of School and West Virginia photos

Today my children started school. They were having mixed feelings about going back to school. I think when they come home they will tell me about how much fun they had. They will get home around 3:30.

Yesterday we arrived back home from West Virginia. I was really glad to see my hubby! I missed him so much! The kids missed him too!

Enjoy the pictures below of our vacation.
