Kitty love

Spend the night party

I have 3 extra boys over tonight to spend the night. 

I love it that Henry's pick was a 5th grade boy!

Enjoying gaming, a dance party, watching 'a Christmas story' and seeing dads muffler shoot out fire!

Dentist!!!!

I went to the dentist today.  I sat down in Christy's chair and said, "I can't believe I'm 3 months overdue a cleaning! I guess I haven't been here in 9 months!" she checked her files and said, "you haven't been here since 2008! I was shocked and embarassed!  How did I let 5 years slip by? I couldn't believe it! But I surely could believe it after I had my teeth scraped for 90 minutes.  It was a difficult time, despite me loving to chat with my sweet friend.  I grasped the suction thing so tight my hands were sore.  I won't go into all the details but I felt like I needed to be scraped off the ceiling by the time I was done.  And, I am so sorry to say that I bit her.  Really hard.  On the pinky.  She actually yelled "ow!" and jerked away. 

On a lighter note, I was thrilled to see this channel back on the radio! 
But I'll take Wham! in any genre they've got!

Service club

Thank you deedee for taking Nate while I was at running club!

#marathon #henry #oneproudmama

Henry was the second kid to earn the marathon pendant

He ran 26.2 miles during club times. 

Camp old Indian

Nate Henry and Bryan are headed to camp old Indian 

Luke and I will be here all alone. He wanted to go but was a good sport. 

This is Nate's last year as a Cub Scout!!

Stay warm guys!! We love you!

Meanwhile, this is my date for the night!

Basement beginnings and kitty love

I think we're really gonna get started on our basement!! Our goal is to make a really cool place for the boys and their friends to hang out as they get older. 

Maybe even a place for our parents to live one day!!

I took a big breath, and took my crib to consignment. I've been holding on to it all this time hoping to adopt a baby one day. Today realized I didn't need a crib! Why would I use a crib with a baby? I never used it with my boys, they just slept with us . So, if by some chance, I am blessed with another child one day ill just put them in our bed. Luke may not like it but there's a time for everything. 

On another note, tiger lily is doing her best to make friends with Carly and Sam.

Tiger lily is so sweet an. Sam and Carly are such snobs!!

They are tolerating her though. 

A woman's mind

Henry's 9th birthday party

Halloween

Yeah...we're ready!

Shhhhhhh...don't tell anyone

That were putting up our Christmas tree this weekend.

They love it! And fall decor is so blah

Halloween candy is great but its only 1 day

I'd rather just think about baby Jesus!

Grace and Eliza

My, how they are growing!!

They love to ride with the big boys 

And they will run straight to the road if you aren't watching

Making Luke look like a big boy

Hmmm... Nate's trying to please

Double trouble!!

Red ribbon week

All the schools in icon we have themed days this week for 'say no to drugs' awareness. Luke had crazy hair day yesterday. 

Keowee had dress like your dream profession. Nate is a professional dirt biker. Probably not his dream job, but he had the supplies. 

Henry dressed as the President of the United States.

Running club news

Today we hit our first milestone in the running club.
Owen Kerr was the first runner to reach marathon status! He's ran 26.2 miles!
Congratulations Owen! And all Keowee runners!

3 posts in 1 day!!

Wow! But I just had to share these points i loved from a sermon today. The "whoever" referred to in #1 is " for God so loved the world that he gave his only son WHOEVER believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Sunday

We don't make a habit of skipping church, but moments like this are few and far between!
