Nothing Stays the Same but Change...

I am sitting by a fire in the fire place, Mark is out in the man cave and the kids are upstairs playing nice. Have the mother planets aligned?

So much goes on day to day that I want to take the time to do a random post...

Nathan uses a made up word "butcept", as in I want ice cream butcept I already had some today. He has some how turned but and except into one word. He also uses it daily.

Madison has made all A's all year. She is a good kid and her teacher told me he would love to have all 21 of his students just like her. That is awesome! She is much harder on herself than I am. She also wants to be in the Olympics so she can be on TV. Not to win, just be on TV.

Alexandra is going to take a drawing class in the spring. K-4th grade class. The Pre-k teacher is recommending her for the older class. Yeah Alex!

Mark and I have just celebrated 12 year anniversary. I tried to get him to take me to Hawaii this year. I understand why he said, "not this year" (old house +new to us = lots of projects). Instead we got to stay home in 20 degree snow day weather. HUMF.... I tried! Can't blame a girl for trying. So my crazy anniversary thought was in 12 more years on our 24th anniversary (which I do plan on having) and Nathan will be almost 16! That is when I decided long term goals are good, but let us just take it one day at a time.

Mark is another year older, 36? How is it I am still 21?

Read a great quote today, "nothing stays the same but change."

April 5th will be our one year anniversary here in Alabama!

Star Wars has become a way of life around here.

Realized today I am out numbered. That took almost four years. I mean I always knew I was out numbered, today I realized I AM OUT NUMBERED.

I have a love/hate with the Wii. I love it, Nathan loves it more which makes me HATE IT! He has officially warn me down and I might have to pack it away. I limit his time, but it doesn't keep him from asking to play. He is strong willed and has ideas that are not remotely in line with mine. For example I told him he could play after dinner, so he wanted to call lunch... dinner. He is too smart for his own good and driving me crazy with all his wise ways to try and play the Wii when he wants to play.

So much goes on in life just want to share a bit. Next project is being delivered in a couple weeks. Working on taking down chain link fence. Will post pictures soon.

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school.  I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family.  I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep.   Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken.  I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB!  Okay this is my only job on earth.  I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep.   I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30".  He was awake and heard her too.  We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep.  Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan.  He wanted to sneak out our ...

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......
