Pictoral Update

Are you familiar with Michael Jordan?  His basketball uniform number was 23.  

Turner's soccer uniform number is 23.  I think he channels Michael Jordan.

Her favorite outfit?   A skirt!  

THIS is what you do when Dad says you can't ride a bike with a skirt on.

He is not the most athletically talented kid you'll meet.

BUT

If he wants something, he'll stick with it until he masters it.

Nothing better than having Dad push us around the driveway on the scooter.

Only Dad can do it.  

I'm good with that.

Wordless Wednesday

Busy-Ness

In my quest to keep my blog more current, I thought I'd post some pics of what the boys have been doing this week.  (Yes Ansley was busy w/gymnastics.  I just can't take pics of her as I'm not allowed in the gym)

First Up, Sawyer.  He received his Bobcat badge at his scout meeting.  Apparently, they hold the recipient upside down while painting his face.  Since we didn't know it was going to happen (And therefore carried no camera), there was no picture of the actual event.  I did take pics once he got home.

He is holding up all his awards he achieved.  There are so many belt loops, I'm not sure his waist is big enough to wear them all at the same time.  We may have to rotate them.

Saturday was Turner's first soccer game.  He did very well.  He truly enjoyed it and seemed to understand the basics.  What is funny about my 3 boys is NONE of them have a competitive bone in their body.  That's neither good nor bad.  Just a statement.  (I cannot make the same statement about their sister and that's all I'm going to say on the subject.)

 

 The look of concentration.  (and they said it would never happen!)

Judson went with the scouts to the Braves game today.  Let's just say, even with all the scouts and their rally caps, there was just not enough mojo to help the Braves and their very weak bullpen.  But they had a good time anyway.  They got to walk around the field before the game and run bases after the game.  Lots of good memories!

We went out to eat after they got back from the game. 

Where Have I Been?

I know, I know....SLACKER!!!

I've been meaning to write but geez, I don't seem to have the time.

Let's see.  Where to begin?  What have we been doing?  Here's a list of things I've been thinking about today...

1.  Turner is loving soccer!   Twice a week practice plus games on Saturday.

2.  I'm trying to track down where Ansley's Girl Scout application went. (along with the already paid fees)
3.  Judson and Ansley have gymnastics once a week.
4.  Sawyer has OT once a week
5.  Sawyer has Speech therapy once a week.  (Do NOT get me started on that)
6.  Working on getting Sawyer in Music Therapy.
7.  Home schooling 4.  Some with more success than others on any given day.
8.  Various doctor/vet/??? visits.
9.   Trying to answer Doogie Howser's medical questions.  Ranging from:  Is meningitis lethal?  to Did you have Rubella when you were pregnant with Sawyer?  He has some signs of Rubella syndrome.
10.   Boy scouts are going well.  Popcorn sales, camping, meetings, knots...(BTW, Boy Scouts are Randy's job)

So, I have been slacking on the blogging front but I'm trying to get caught up.  Really I am. 

NINE Years Ago.....

I met the most amazing little guy.  He was destined to change my life forever.  Time certainly has flown.  The first 3 months were a blur.  He did not sleep more than 2 contiguous hours at any time.  He would NOT take a bottle.  It made for a VERY tired momma.  At times it seemed like those days were 36 hours in length.  Yet, looking back the years seemed to have flown by.  How can that be? He is in his last single digit year.  He's an amazing young man.  So happy to get to spend these last 9 years getting to know him.  I hope the next 9 will be equally joyful and enlightening.

His First Christmas!

Today

Celebrating with his buddies Parker and Allie
