That's the way I like it

This was a very relaxing, enjoyable weekends.  We didn't accomplish much this weekend.  Michael and I did however, spend some quality time together. We watched movies. I finished reading my 15the book of the year and started another one. About the only thing we did accomplish is going to the grocery store and I finished putting pictures in the middle frame for the entry way. I really enjoy spending time with my sweet husband. I'm a lucky girl to be saying that after as long as we have been together.

Since I don't really have a lot to say I will end with a few pictures from the weekend we spent with Blake.

I know the last picture is random but, I thought the sky looked beautiful as the storm came rolling in.

Hope you have a wonderful Monday.

Blake Plays Ball!

Blake finally got to get into a game on Wednesday and it sounds like he did great.  Blake played the end of the first game and all of the second game.  He went 2 for 3.  Blake is batting 400 right now.  Oh, how I wish we could have been there to cheer him on. I don't know if you can tell but, I love that boy with all my heart!  I'm so happy for him about finally getting to show what he is capable of in a game situation. I hope the coaches see what they have on their hands and capitalize on his ability.  Trust me I'm not just saying that.  If he is stinking it up I'm honest about it.  We have always been honest with Blake and he prefers it like that. 

Michael and Blake got me a couple of digital frames in the last few years and we have really enjoyed them.  I love our family on both sides and love to see pictures of everyone daily.  It has worked out well.  I can take pictures until my heart is content and Michael loads them on both digital frames.  Michael is even going back and scanning old pictures and putting them in the frames.  There are pictures of Blake from when he was little bitty and it melts my heart and takes me back to that time.  Honestly it makes me want to have another child I miss it so much.  I told Michael that last night and he said "No way. I  would have to get in way better shape before we had another kid."  So it's not a no. ha ha Just kidding. As much as I would love to have the cuddles and the good times with a baby all over again it was a lot of work and dedication. As good as Blake was it wasn't always sunshine and rainbows.  That and we always have heard you have one really good kid and one that's hell on wheels.  We got the really good kid first so we were to scared to try for a second.  Well, we tried, it just never happened.

What are your plans for the weekend?  We are going to stay home and work on the house some more. I took the before pics of the entry way picture wall and the frames we are putting up in it's place. I'm excited about updating our home.

TGIF! Hope y'all have an awesome weekend.

It stinks getting old!

Well it turns out that it's a good thing Blake wasn't around for his birthday weekend.  All last week my back was bothering me. I didn't really think much of it because I have good days and bad days.  As the week went on it only got worse.  I really need to do some shopping for my dad and had planned on going on Thursday night after work and I just wasn't up to it.  I had no choice but to go on Friday night because he was completely out of Coke's. So we go to Wal-Mart super center and get everything dad needs. Michael had a cart and got our stuff. By the time we got home I was down for the count. I was defiantly thankful for my walker/wheel chair contraption.  Saturday I was stuck in bed trying to find a comfortable position.  Sunday was much of the same.  I did get up and make dad something to eat and felt much better.

Sorry this isn't much of a post.


I will throw in few pictures just for fun.

Dad with his little friend Buddy

Dad's hair has gotten so long I tease him and call him a hippie. He insisted I take a picture of him with his long hair.  Blake was going to take him to get his hair cut when he was here but the day he was able to take him dad didn't feel up to going.  So when Blake gets back in town he will take him.

Here us a closer vie to the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

This is Blake the Sunday before he turned 20. You can see the stack of stuff in the corner.  Those are dad's movies.  I have got to get to my sisters and get one of the many shelves my dad has so we can get more organized.  It is driving us nuts!  You can see why. I feel bad for my husband because I can't lift things.  So he gets stuck with a lot of stuff on our projects.

Hope you had a great weekend. Happy Monday!!
