Due to the creepy followers I was getting I decided to create a new blog. And while I'm sad to have to abandon this one it feels good to start fresh. I'm hoping to create a blog book with my old one to keep track of the memories. If you would like to continue following us please email or facebook me for my new blog address. Thanks so much and I hope you will carry on with us!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127031640426854127.post-39403924194028196082012-05-07T15:52:00.000-05:002012-05-07T15:52:08.557-05:00Easter 2012This year we carried on our family tradition of dying & hunting Easter eggs with my mom's side of the family. Both of my kids could participate this year and really enjoyed it more than they have in the past. Carter thought the eggs were for eating and he tried to drink all the colorful dye quite a few times, but he quickly realized it didn't taste good and copied everyone else. <br />

On Saturday night while the kids were in the bathtub, Easter bunny paid them a visit! Carter was so excited he jumped out of the tub and had no clothes on for most of these pictures and I was afraid of missing out on pictures while MR went through her new toys so I'll show what I can.<br />

This new white headband in the picture below is MR's new best friend. I usually have to wet her hair every morning and brush through all those curls/knots. And let me tell you, she just might be the most tender-headed person ever! So when she got that new headband she said, "Look mom, you don't have to brush my hair ever again. I can just put this headband on." Good try sweetie, but that's not what that was intended for! As a matter of fact, Easter morning when she woke up she put it on before she even came down for breakfast and told me that her hair was already done and there was no need for me to brush it. <br />

Easter morning, Jeremy got up and went to Sunrise Service with his parents at the cemetary where his brother was burried. (For those of you who don't know, Jeremy lost his brother, age 23, in a car wreck. Jeremy was 19 at the time.)<br />
<br />
The kids and I met up with Jeremy's family and had breakfast afterwards.We went to Easter mass at 10:30 and then went to Aunt Mary's & ate lunch with my dad's side of the family. The kids had another easter egg hunt with their cousins there as well and we tried to get a few family pictures before we changed clothes.<br />
<br />
You can't really tell from these pictures but the kids had on matching smocked bunny outfits.<br />

Thank you all for coming! It was a blast as usual and we can't wait to see you all again soon!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148300049324930469noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127031640426854127.post-12795231131028920742012-04-05T16:48:00.001-05:002012-04-05T16:48:27.512-05:00Religion Kills, God SavesWe passed a guy the other day who was wearing a shirt that said "Religion Kills, God Saves". Jeremy and I just looked at each other strangely and said "true". But then I really got to thinking about it. How does religion kill? I could think of a million different meanings to the saying however, Monday morning I was reading my daily devotional that pretty much spoke right to me about the message.<br />
<br />It said, "Religion tries to force people to follow laws to make them perfect, like pots without cracks. But if a light is put within a flawless pot and then covered, no one is able to see the light inside the pot. Perfect pots are not able to reveal internal light to illuminate the ways for others."<br />
<br />"God chooses to shine through imperfect, cracked pots. People are blessed when our cracked pots let the light of Jesus shine through. Choose to be a glory-filled, cracked pot rather than an empty, pretty vessel".<br />
<br />Growing up Catholic in a Southern Baptist state I've realized this, denominations need each other! I have learned more about my religion because other people question my faith. I believe that when we get to heaven, we will learn the truth about our differences. We will learn that all of us were right about some things and wrong about others. But even the things we were right about won't matter. God wants us to get along, to stop fighting with everyone over what is wrong and right and to begin to find the things we all can agree on. Practice looking for ways to agree with other believers, and then watch what God does through the unity of faith!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148300049324930469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127031640426854127.post-68043752143097748032012-03-29T15:00:00.001-05:002012-03-29T15:00:16.048-05:00Mother of the YearAfter last week, I think I'm out of the running for "Mother of the Year" award. Let me just tell you that Carter is one tough booger & I hope we don't experience another episode like that EVER or at least for a little while.<br />
<br />
Here is the day-by-day of his week:<br />
<br />
<strong><u><em>Monday-</em></u></strong> Carter fell down the last 2 steps at our house and busted his lip. BLOOD.WAS.EVERYWHERE! <br />
<br />
<strong><em><u>Tuesday</u></em></strong>- I sent him to my parents house while I worked (huge busted lip and all) and when I came to pick him up my mom informed me that Maci Rose gave him a huge bald spot in the back of his head. I was so sad b/c it's taken him 2 years to get hair that I wonder how long it's going to take to grow back. But, needless to say, it could have been worse! Maci Rose could have poked her eyes out or chopped off a finger with my mom's sewing scisors. Yikes!<br />
<br />
<strong><em><u>Wednesday</u></em></strong>- Carter fell off the trampoline and hit his head really hard. About an hour later his nose started bleeding and bled from 3-5:30 straight so I called the nurse. We didn't have to bring him in but were told to watch him for other signs of concusion. This is really hard to do with a 22 month old because they already don't talk much or walk too well so how was I supposed to know if he was slurring his speech or stumbling?? I had to wake him every 2 hours for 2 nights straight and make him walk, per the nurses instructions. It was not fun for him or me!<br />
<br />
<strong><em><u>Thursday- </u></em></strong>As I was on the phone explaining all of this to my mom, Maci Rose comes in to get me and tell me that Carter is playing with something he's not supposed to. So as I approach him I realize he is sucking on a glade plug-in air freshner!! Ugh! Poison Control was called.<br />
<br />
<strong><em><u>Friday-</u></em></strong> Jeremy took off work because we had out of town company in. I was cleaning the bathrooms really well and the floors were wet and Jeremy was chasing Carter around & he ran to me and slipped and hit his head again!!! on our tile bathroom floors. I was too embarrassed to have to call the nurse again. Would she turn me in?!? <br />
<br />
Luckily, we never saw any side effects of anything and THANK GOD because if he had started acting funny and different we wouldn't have known if he was high, or with head injury or both?? <br />
<br />
Thank you Lord for looking out after my baby boy. Geez!! With Carter, it always seems like when it rains, it pours! Maybe that's all little boys?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148300049324930469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127031640426854127.post-54913078389754708792012-03-22T11:00:00.002-05:002012-03-22T11:00:55.914-05:00Spring Break 2012 Part 1This has been a crazy busy spring break for us so far. And it's all been planned for me, which is great! I haven't had to plan very many activities because we already had so much on our calendars for the week.<br />
<br />
We started out with my aunt's 50th birthday party at Superior Grill on Friday night. My cousins babysat and it was a nice little break away for Jeremy & I.<br />
<br />
On Saturday we had my neighbor McKenzie's (the little girl I keep) 3rd birthday party. It was a lot of fun with everyone in their green and hanging out with good friends. They had a huge bouncy house castle which entertained the kids pretty much all day. On Saturday night we went to a beautiful outdoor wedding for some family friends. It was so fun being able to wear tank tops, strapless dresses, john johns, and no tights!!<br />
<br />
On Sunday we went to my inlaws for a cookout for all the March birthdays. My MIL, SIL, and husband all have birthdays within the same week of each other. It was a once again a nice hot day and we rode 4 wheelers outside with everyone for most of the afternoon.<br />
<br />
Of course, I got no pictures of anything during the weekend and I hate that because it was all so much fun! But also very busy so I guess that's why I forgot my camera?<br />
<br />
On Monday we went to the local park with our other neighbors. It was extremely hot and we went early! I don't know how we're going to be able to handle the summer with this weather so hot already!!?!!<br />

Every time I mention her birthday or try to get an idea about what to do for it, this is her reaction. I know I've made comments before that she's my baby and I don't want her to grow up, but seriously?? <br />
I've made a lot of comments about many other things too, why is this the one that stuck in her head?<br />
<br />
My little sister was in town last weekend and asked her how old she was gonna be at her next birthday and this was her reply, "I'm gonna be 4, but don't worry I'm still gonna be little. Just a little bigger & all my clothes will still fit me. I don't want my clothes to not fit anymore. I don't wanna be as big as you." Aimee was like "thanks!" LOL.<br />
<br />
I seriously don't know what kind of phase this is. Has anyone else ever had a kid who went through this phase?? Is she liking the fact that she's getting so much attention from it maybe? Usually kids are thrilled about their birthdays!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148300049324930469noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127031640426854127.post-81962345235748186252012-02-17T06:30:00.000-06:002012-02-17T06:30:01.523-06:005 years5 years ago today I said "I Do" to an amazing man & father. It was a very cold day in Birmingham, with snow flurries coming down as we were leaving the reception. Over 500 guests witnessed our marriage at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. After, we danced the night away at Pine Tree Country Club to my cousin's band- Livewire. There were 12 bridesmaids and groomsmen, 1 flower girl, 1 ring bearer, over 30 out of town relatives and a lot of friends and family. It is still by far the best day of my life and I would go back in a heart beat! Never have I ever felt more love and support from everyone around us. Thanks again to all of you.

Yep, this is my new toy!! Jeremy gave me the Shark Navigator Vacuum for Vday and I have already vacuumed my whole house twice today. It is light weight and so easy to vacuum my stairs. <br />
<br />
I never thought a vacuum would have been my ideal present but I've been using a vacuum with a broken off handle for almost 6 months now and I vacuum almost every.single.day.<br />
<br />
For those of you who already make fun of how much I clean, just wait till you see me now!!

You are finally slowing down a little in the growth department. You have been in 75-90% since you were a month old. Now you weigh 26 pounds (50%) and are 32"(50%), but your head is still in the 90-95th%. You've had a huge head since birth. We're still waiting for you to grow into it! <br />

You can also sing the alphabet partially (a, b, d, d, e, f, d, and then you start over at a & keep repeating yourself). You can sing "rain, rain go away" (rain rain rain rain rain over and over again to the tune of it). You can make the sounds of a cat, dog, cow, pig, rooster, duck, & horse when asked.<br />

You LOVE the TV these days. It used to never exist to you before now but now you insist on turning it on first thing every morning and night and will yell DORA or ME MOUSE. And if neither one of those shows are on you will go and get the remote and bring it to me whining.<br />

<br /> You LOVE your sister and your sister LOVES you. Ya'll literally are inseperable right now. If you ask MR who her best friend is she says Brooklyn & Carter. Ya'll walk around the house holding hands all the time. Sometimes ya'll will hold hands in your carseats while we are driving somewhere. I'm so proud of the way ya'll play together. Your dad and I are constantly talking about how cute ya'll are after when you're playing after your bath.<br />

We've officially cut the bottle! You haven't had a bottle in 2 weeks and we have limited your passie to your bed and Church only. So, pretty much nap time and bedtime (and sometimes time outs). You know you can't get out of your bed if you have your passie in your mouth so sometimes you will wake up and just lay in your bed to suck.<br />

You are HILARIOUS!! We are constantly laughing when you're around. You LOVE your sisters shoes and you will go into her closet and get different pairs & wear them around the house all day long. You will also put on any pair of glasses/sunglasses/hats/boots. You love to dress yourself in whatever you can find.<br />

You've got Auburn hair and blueish/greenish eyes with the longest, darkest and prettiest eyelashes. You are extremely fair complected. You are in a size 5.5 - 6 shoe. You think you are so old and wonder why you get treated like a baby sometimes.<br />
<br />
You are STILL a hit or miss when it comes to sleeping through the night. Sometimes you will sleep 7 to 7 and sometimes you will sleep 10 to 6 with 2-3 wakeups in between. We never know! It seems like you have good and bad weeks. One week you sleep awesome and the next you are up every night.

I'm sure I'm leaving off some things but this is pretty much YOU these days! I love you sooooo much and you are such a blessing to us! I couldn't imagine how boring life would be without you in it. You bring so much laughter and joy.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148300049324930469noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127031640426854127.post-62075584337372692122012-02-01T15:06:00.000-06:002012-02-01T15:06:16.744-06:00Organization & Such<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I'm working on Carter's 18 month post I figured I'd show you a few things we've done around the house recently. Christmas really outdid us this year and we had no option but to clean out and get rid of old toys & clothes. It feels so good to get organized and back on track again!</div>

These letter stickers are from the Dollar Store. I thought they were really cute and figured I could use them somewhere since they were only $1.</div>

I used them as a border around the kids bathroom and I'd say it looks pretty cute. Plus, while MR is laying down getting the shampoo out of her hair in the bathtub, we look up and point out the letters in her name. <br />

I bought this pink shelf from Target for $39.99 & let me just say I could buy a million more of these things. They are so great for toys and books. Nothing like something that looks cute and hides junk/clutter. <br />

MR got so much Littlest Pet Shop stuff from my Inlaws for Christmas so these baskets are perfect storage for all those little pieces. It's quick and easy cleanup too because all you have to do is throw all the toys into those containers and no one knows just how junky they are!<br />

The white shelf you see in the corner here is a smaller (actually for a desk) version of the pink shelf in the previous picture. I put them in the kids closets. It is so perfect for the kids shoes! And I bought a few containers to go in them too & in MR's room I use her containers for her tights.<br />

The 3 drawer plastic dresser is ALL of her dress up clothes. I had to get something else besides a laundry basket because it wouldn't all fit and I love how now it is in her closet with all the rest of her clothes/shoes. Put away and hidden, yet easy for her to get to and play with.<br />

Here is Carter's shoe rack. Same as MR's just turned horizontally. In his containers, I put all of his summer shoes (sandals, crocs, etc.) They are hidden so when I tell him to go and get his shoes he won't come back with his crocs on. LOL. Obviously we know what his favorite pair are! He always goes straight for the crocs, rain or shine!<br />

This is a wooden stool I bought at Michael's on clearance last year and I painted it to match his room. It's mainly used hold his door open, but sometimes he uses it to turn on his light and brush his teeth.<br />

I bought this shelf at a garage sale in the fall for $10. Kinda pricey but it was brand new (tags & all) and it's Pottery Barn. I actually think it's supposed to go in a bathroom for magazines but we put it out in our loft/playroom with books and dvd's. It's perfect!<br />

This dresser/cabinet is another yard sale item. Only $5. And I love anything that hides clutter. Have I mentioned that enough?? It was plain brown wood & I sprayed it with a few coats of krylon paint.<br />

You can see how bad the inside looks and Jeremy needs to put a piece of plywood on the back of it b/c if it weren't up against the wall all the toys would fall out the backside, but so far I'm enjoying the idea of hiding the toys.<br />

A few weeks ago my whole family went to NOLA for the National Championship game. It was honestly the 2nd best trip I've ever been on besides my honeymoon. Boredom was the last thing I can say happened, there is so much to do there. Constant entertainment! And the great part about it was that we could sleep as long/short as we wanted and then get up and go do whatever. No itineraries, schedules, or specific times to be somewhere (besides the game, of course).</div>

ROLL TIDE!!! And Congratulations Bama!!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148300049324930469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127031640426854127.post-85447870616459777302012-01-26T12:23:00.001-06:002012-01-26T12:23:42.708-06:00Blogger HelpOk people. I NEED ANY ADVICE I CAN GET PLEASE!!<br />
<br />
I know I always say I would blog more "if I could get more time or if I weren't so busy, etc" but the truth is that when I do actually get a little time to do a post it seems to take me FOR-EV-ER to finish just ONE post. There has got to be a more updated blogger program or something??<br />
<br />
For example, Facebook will allow you to click on a folder of pictures and hold the control key down and select as many pictures as you'd like all at one time. Whereas, blogger makes me go into a folder and select pictures ONLY one at a time. I'm telling you it takes forever to do that. <br />
<br />
And when I do actually get all my pictures uploaded to blogger, it will not let me organize them the way I want to most of the time. I have to upload them in the order I want to post them or else there is no way to move them around or do 2-3 pictures side by side.<br />
<br />
Also, is there any way to post a video on blogger besides having to download it to youtube first?<br />
<br />
I know I say this a lot, but I really do want to try to blog more. We have lots of fun and exciting stuff going on around here and I'm doing really well at taking more pictures/videos so far this year but they are all just sitting in folders on my computer because it takes so long to upload them to blogger.<br />
<br />
I NEED HELP! or advice or whatever can make my blogging experience more successful.<br />
<br />
Thanks!!<br />

Christmas Eve always starts off with church and then we all head to my grandmothers house to eat, exchange presents, and play a really fun game of dirty santa. The past few years we've left my grandmothers around 9:30 and gone to my Aunt's house (which is next door) to play games all night. It sure makes for a lot of laughter and a late Christmas Eve!<br />

First, I must appologize for the quality of these pictures (not that I usually have great pics or anything) but most of these are off my phone. One of my New Years Resolutions is to take more pictures this year and to remember to bring my camera with me more often & actually take it out of my purse every once in a while!! I need major improvement in this department.</div>

She is currently in the 10th percentile on height and weight which we discovered after seeing how small she was compared to the rest of the kids in her class. She weighs 28 pounds and is 37 inches tall. Maybe she'll have a growth spurt between now and April when she turns 4 or maybe she'll be short like her mama. We'll see!</div>

It is so fun to still carry it on through our kids. <em>Although we still make jokes that it's technically more for us than them!</em><br />

He is great and he has blessed me beyond words.<br />
<br />
I am thankful for my beautiful and healthy children. They make my world complete. I couldn't imagine life without them. And to get to experience a girl and a boy who have completely different personalities, looks, emotions, & interests is so much fun. I love them both in different ways but most of all because they love me unconditionally back. It makes my heart melt!<br />
<br />
I am thankful for my wonderful and loving husband. Without him, Maci Rose and Carter wouldn't exist. He is my rock and has supported me through so many things in my life. He is such a hardworking and faithful man. Through the good, bad, and in between he is truly my one and only. I love you Jeremy!<br />
<br />
I am thankful for my family. Being Italian, I have more family than many can dream of on just one side. And then to add my mom's side and my husbands side, we are extremely blessed. Although I am thankful for each and every one of them, it is becoming hard to fit every one in on holidays so I am thankful to have you all even when our time together is cut short I don't forget just how blessed I am to know you are there for us no matter what.<br />
<br />
I am thankful for my friends. I have some of the best friends that exist. From high school friends, college friends and sorority sisters, my wonderful neighbors and my mommy friends I have all the support I need and more. I love having friends that are good in different ways.<br />
<br />
And speaking of neighbors,,,,have I mentioned just how great they are?? I have the most fun and helpful neighbors ever. One of my neighbors gave me my job and I work for her. How convenient huh? Sometimes we even ride together to save on gas. She also keeps Carter for me while I work. On Fridays, my other neighbor who has girls in school with Maci Rose takes her to school for me. Another one came over last minute a few weeks ago to babysit while Jeremy and I headed to a funeral. My brother (Uncle Matt Matt) is only a street over from us and we can walk through the woods beside our house to visit on pretty days. <br />
<br />
This year we celebrated Thanksgiving and did lunch with my cousins on my dad's side of the family, and then headed to my Aunt's house on my mom's side of the family to play a little flag football. We went to my inlaws on Friday evening and did Thanksgiving with them as well. By spreading it out to 2 days it let us have a little more relaxation than we're used to on Thanksgiving not having to fit everyone in on one day.<br />

This is Carter's first time to go to something like this and he was scared to death when the characters came out. It was actually really sweet because I got some much needed cuddling time with him! Bless his heart, we've left him in town while we've gone to the beach, Minnesota, ball games, ttown, Auburn, circus, & movies so he really doesn't have much exposure to this kind of stuff. Maci Rose has gone with us to all these events even as a little baby, but keeping up with 2 is so much harder than 1 and we always have family who is willing and wanting to watch him. <br />

Jeremy bought Maci Rose a little sword thing that sings and lights up so we heard the kids fighting over it the whole car ride home. We are past the days where we could get by with just buying for 1 child now! Between tickets, snow cones, popcorn, & souveniers you can easily drop $100 at these kind of things! It's outrageous!<br />

I originally saw these cookies in the newspaper a few weeks before Halloween and wanted to make them.</div>
I made them for Maci Rose's Halloween party at school, but I still figured I'd share them with you because they are so easy to make and fun entertainment for the kids. We actually just made some the other day for an afternoon snack since it was raining & we were stuck inside. It is the perfect sweet and salty mix. All it is is an oreo cookie with pretzels and you can either use icing or some type of small candy for the eyes. We used some leftover Easter candy we had. I also used a little extra white icing to help the pretzels stick inside the oreo. Here's a close up!<br />

I went to Winn Dixie a few weeks ago and spent $29 on 22 items! I've always been creative and people compliment me on my ideas and on my house decorating. I have even re-done a room in my aunts house and helped a friend with a few decorating projects, but my problem is that I'm not creative when it comes to making things for cheap or free. But this Halloween I have made things out of what I have. So, it may not be as cute or perfect as what I'd like but hey it's free!! So I'll have to deal.<br />

Here is the wreath I made for our front door this year. The wreath has been in my attic with lots of ugly fake leaves and flowers on it that I removed. Then I went to the dollar tree and bought the spider web and "Happy Halloween", which I just gluegunned into place and Voila! A $2 wreath for my front door. I'll take it! <br />
<br />
I also made some ghosts that, once again, I've seen on pinterest and blogs and I've wanted to make them but just didn't have the extra money. So, I took the pre-lit topiary trees that I use at Christmas and threw a white fleece blanket that I had over them and used construction paper (that I already had) as the eyes and mouths. Oh and the names are part of the playball shapes I use for my students once again that I already had, so the total cost of these cute ghosts = free!!<br />

My mom gave me some cute pumpkin and bat sponges a few years ago and I put them away in my Halloween decorations hoping to do something artsy with paints and the kids. But this year I realized that probably won't happen and why not decorate with them? So I put fishing wire through them and hung them <br />
from my mantle. <br />

Ok, so now onto Halloween night! Which was fun and laid back this year for us. Usually my whole family comes over for chilli & trick-or-treating (cousins, aunts, uncles, etc) but this year everyone decided to go to my aunt's house and since my children are a little under the weather and I had to work all day today we decided to stay home and do our own thing. This is the first year we didn't have a house to feed or people to entertain or a crowd to keep up with while trick-or-treating. We went out early around 5:45 and were home by 7:00. Maci Rose loved it at first but after only about 20 houses she said she was cold and ready to go home. She wouldn't wear her jacket because it covered her outfit. Figures!! And Carter went to about 5 houses and after each house he wanted to open every piece of new candy they put in his bucket. So we finally just put him in the waggon and let him have a sucker until we got home. I'm ashamed to say that I hardly have any cute pictures of them. Between getting juice cups ready and jackets for the kids and wiping their noses every few seconds I got what I could. Plus, Carter was an elephant and wouldn't wear the hood so that was another battle, but hey I tried the best I could! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWE-bkGRDZ8JyP44k4I5GhmY8m4oPILkG_1qPrHJuV37NFiYl29nuzwBJnYILyrPZ9dwnvqR5yYIvRaektd8G53Fza4IxFu9GwdHgQLoVMrUQjbpJQ10Amx_-OdRfMDaVKbwvKgmv1Cxr/s1600/IMG_0841.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWE-bkGRDZ8JyP44k4I5GhmY8m4oPILkG_1qPrHJuV37NFiYl29nuzwBJnYILyrPZ9dwnvqR5yYIvRaektd8G53Fza4IxFu9GwdHgQLoVMrUQjbpJQ10Amx_-OdRfMDaVKbwvKgmv1Cxr/s320/IMG_0841.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />

And it is about as fun as it sounds. "playing ball" It just kind of fell into my lap. My neighbor really needed some help with her classes because they were too full for her to teach alone. I work at 3 different schools...BeKare, Mountain Brook Baptist, & Church of Brook Hills. I honestly feel like it was a blessing from God. I work 2 days a week so I can still spend some time with my babies and make a little money too. It's exactly what I needed. So, if you're wondering what it is check out their website at <a href="http://alabama.usaplayball.com/about_us">http://alabama.usaplayball.com/about_us</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I put the description below off their website to get you more familiar with what it is.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Please contact me if you are interested in signing your child up or seeing if it is offered at their school!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For over 25 years, We’ve Used Sports as a Means To Enrich all Aspects of a Child’s Life…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In Playball, sports play a vital role in the health and well being of every child. Sports help us learn life skills such as respect, sportsmanship, responsibility, confidence, self-esteem, patience, tolerance and leadership.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">With Playball children learn the basic skills for Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Hockey, Tennis and Soccer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Playball classes begin at age 2 and go through to age 8. It suits the needs of all children regardless of athletic abilities. It helps develop the confidence to participate in all activities - on and off the field! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Playball is progressive: children progress from informal introduction of basic ball and movement skills to more structured sports participation. No two classes are the same!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Playball consists of 6 stages - each focusing on the age development of the child.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Playball works on developing skills such as balance, coordination, mid-line crossing, throwing, catching, fielding and dribbling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Playball is taught in different venues such as pre-schools, day cares, parks, and recreation centers!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Playball gives kids the opportunity to explore their creativity and imagination. They experience fun, laughter, joy and success. Children do not care that they are learning “tennis forehand” because it’s so much fun “swatting away mosquitoes!”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Playball develops reading, thinking and problem solving skills as well as motor skill development. This is why Playball is so important for your children! We use these principles to design a program that is not only fun for the kids but has an underlying principle to accomplish this!! </span><br />

<br />
First of all, Jeremy was asked to be the best man in his best friend's wedding, which was down in Ft. Myers, Florida so he flew out on Friday morning and I stayed home with the kids. <br />
<br />
Second, Saturday was the first "football game day" for most college teams and especially bama, which we spent all day out at my aunt's house watching all the games, eating good food, and letting the kids swim.<br />
<br />
Third, Jeremy and I were asked to be asked the godparents of my cousins baby, Kate and the baptism was on Sunday (the day before Labor Day). We are very honored to be such special people in her life!<br />

<br />
Fifth, Sunday, the 4th of September was my birthday and I turned 28! I feel so close to 30 at this age it's scary! For some reason I am really scared of turning 30. My 20's have been the best years of my life and I don't want them to end!!<br />

While cleaning up dinner these 2 headed upstairs to the playroom & this is what I found. Maci Rose was wearing her doctor gear checking her baby's heartbeat and Carter was wearing a cowboy hat driving this noisy fire truck thing. It was a sight for sure! Hopefully they're getting some good practice for the future! Well the doctor at least! We'll see! Either way it gave me a good laugh after a long day at work!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148300049324930469noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127031640426854127.post-88295489318531134872011-09-16T10:54:00.000-05:002011-09-16T10:54:27.319-05:00Frugal Friday<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">5 smart ways you can use BALLOONS!!</span></u></strong> </div><br />
I don't know about you but I have tons of balloons leftover from the 4 birthday parties I've thrown for my kiddos. They are stored in a bucket of party decorations out in my garage that my children seem to get into at least once a week asking me to blow up these balloons for them. And I know, I should probably find another place for it but that would require me having to go up in my attic and clear a space which is not as easy as it sounds. Anyways.... when I read this little snipet from Women's World Magazine the other day I thought this was so neat. I've never thought of using balloons other than for parties and entertainment.<br />
<br />
1.) <strong>Open a bottle</strong>. You can use a rubber balloon to get a stubborn top off a bottle. Just use the balloon as you would a gripper.<br />
<br />
2.) <strong>Make an ice pack.</strong> <em>(this is my favorite!!)</em> Fill a balloon halfway with water, but make sure you leave enough room for it to expand. Then place it in the freezer to have ready whenever you need an ice pack!<br />
<br />
3.) <strong>Protect a cut.</strong> Slip a balloon over a painful papercut to keep it dry & clean while washing dishes, bathing kids, or doing some other type of house work or craft.<br />
<br />
4.) <strong>Keep the shape</strong>. Blow up a balloon and slip an item of laundry over it to keep the shape of air-dry items such as bras and baseball caps. Toddler shirts fit perfectly.<br />
<br />
5.) <strong>Save cut flowers.</strong> Slip a balloon filled with a little bit of water on the end of the stem and use a rubberband to secure it in place to help cut flowers last longer or until you can get them into a vase.<br />

Have a good weekend!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148300049324930469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127031640426854127.post-29689246009862082011-09-15T20:45:00.000-05:002011-09-15T20:45:28.732-05:00JaRae's WeddingA few weeks ago we flew to Minnesota for my cousin JaRae's wedding. She was one of the most beautiful brides I've ever seen. And her mom owns a salon!! How cool is that?? So all of the bridesmaids got to get their hair, make-up & nails done too. <br />
<br />
Formal weddings in Minnesota are done differently than weddings down here, but my little sister is considering trying to incorporate these northern parties down here when she starts her wedding planning (hopefully soon ;)). They have the wedding at 2pm in the afternoon and then go bar hopping on party buses in between the wedding and reception. Then there is a sit down dinner at 6:00pm followed by dancing and reception. It's a good way to make your wedding day worth the money you pay instead of just a few hours and it also gives kids/parents time to go home and change clothes and nap in between. <br />

She literally woke up and went to sleep every.single.day. asking to bring one home. I mean how do you explain to a 3 year old that you are in another state?? She thought we were up in the sky and then the airplane was going to take us back down to the ground and home. I tried explaining a million times. So frustrating!! needless to say, she didn't get to take one home.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ7T55RgdFrURf2Af_2v9DTYG_ztIcjPe0a1BLp53-K0xLnCFqDUjAjocJVgOUbnSxeTYnUqGPH0Qo3IQoLvi6JTt0fZQd956b6OGg8pGLBs9hAuSn-fk7sPqYjDXLoqa_bkSzUsVj2pDq/s1600/IMG_0505.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ7T55RgdFrURf2Af_2v9DTYG_ztIcjPe0a1BLp53-K0xLnCFqDUjAjocJVgOUbnSxeTYnUqGPH0Qo3IQoLvi6JTt0fZQd956b6OGg8pGLBs9hAuSn-fk7sPqYjDXLoqa_bkSzUsVj2pDq/s320/IMG_0505.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <br />

They provide tons of entertainment! I have over 100 family members that all live in one small town called Buffalo. This is my moms side of the family or I guess you can say my grandmother's side?? Her 5 siblings & their kids and grandkids & great grandkids!! Can't wait to go back! We miss you guys already!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148300049324930469noreply@blogger.com1
