Tuck Dancing At Blues Brothers Restaurant

I finally figured out how to post videos without going through youtube! Here is Tuck dancing at the Blues Brothers restaurant in Orlando

Getting In Trouble

Tuck being the youngest, seems to get away with alot more than his brothers did. He actually has been our easiest, so he doesn't truly get in trouble very often. I caught this on camera last weekend on the front porch and thought it was pretty funny and kinda sweet.

Making Up

And now it begins....AGAIN....

Beautiful weekend! Wish we would have gotten some rain with all the wind, but the wind made it so relaxing to be outside. I have been getting Fall fever the last 3 weeks and am afraid it is just teasing us....BUT maybe there is hope. The acorns have started falling at our house and they are HUGE! They say that is a sign of a hard winter! That might not excite some of you, but it excites this south Georgia girl who didn't even see her first snow until she was 21!! Last year the acorns were small and we had a very mild winter, so maybe there is some truth to it. I love the snow, the anticipation of snow, school being canceled, Tyler asking for hot chocolate, snowball fights, and building a snowman with my boys. WAIT!!....I am getting way ahead of myself. It's not even fall. Oh well, my point is I love summer but am ready for it to move on.

Anyway, the last couple of months have been pretty laid back as far as sports. Now it begins again.....Tyler soccer, Friday and Saturday practices then games will begin. Tanner, fall baseball, which all we know right now is every Saturday afternoon. I guess we will find out more in the next week. So, it begins again,....I just wonder how we will juggle it once Tuck starts! It seems like alot when we think about it, but once it starts we love going and watching them. They are only young once so we have to enjoy it while we can! Anyway, hope you all had a wonderful weekend..until next time...

You Couldn't Pay Me Enough!

So, yesturday I had to get the boys out of school early to get to Alpharetta by 3:45 for a pediatric ENT appointment for Tyler. I picked them up at 2:00 and hit the road. Arrival time at docs office 3:48. WHAT!!?? Then off we go hitting the road to be back in Jasper by 6:00 for soccer evaluations. We left at 4:48...arrival time in Jasper.. 6:24. Now, this drive should only be about a 50 min. to 1 hour at the most. As I sat in traffic with these people I called Matt and said you could not pay me enough to do this everyday. I would have to pray for my patience and to not have road rage! The funny part of it is I realized how truly impatient Tyler is also. He stressed the whole time about him being late. I sat back and thought how funny it is to see the difference in all three boys. Tyler stressing and saying over and over how late he was going to be, Tanner sitting in the back informing me of every opportunity to get in the lane beside us b/c they were going 1 mph faster.."mom put the pedal to the medal and you can make it! They won't hit you!"..my daredevil..then little Tuck sitting in the back in his own world just going with the flow without any care in the world. It just amused me in the midst of my frustration.



On another note, the doctor was wonderful! He played around with all three boys and was just a really nice guy. The verdict....Tyler has a deviated septum. Our next step is to get a CAT scan to see how severe it is. Apparently, the doc doesn't like to do this surgery on someone his age unless it is absolutely necessary. So, we will see. Our ortho is ready to start treatment on Ty's teeth but he says this has to be treated first. I have a feeling when all this is over Tyler will have ALOT of money invested in this mouth. Then he will probably fall and knock all his teeth out :)



Anyway, I have vented and will now close! Till next time...

ALIVE!

Our church has been doing a series called "ALIVE" for the past couple of weeks. Basically it is about if you had 30 days to live how would you spend it. Making us realize that you are never guaranteed tomorrow and we should live each day to it's fullest. I'm not even doing it justice trying to explain it, but it has really hit home for me and Matt. It makes us realize the importance of family and not our jobs, how much money you make, or what you have on this earth. (you can't take it with you anyway!) So I have been trying to make a list of the things I would hope I have done.

1) I would hope and pray that I have instilled in my boys as they grow up the importance of faith and knowing that as long as you believe in HIM anything is possible.

2) That my family knows that no matter what their past has been I am thankful for them and wouldn't be the person I am today if not for them.

3) That my husband knows how much I love him and that I think I am the luckiest girl in the world that he picked this CRAZY, loud, aggravating, South Georgia girl to be his wife. He is such a genuine, sweet, caring person and the most wonderful father in the world. Our boys and I are so blessed to have him! I have grown so much since meeting him and strive to be as good of a person as he is.

4) To leave this world with no regrets...trying to be a good friend, mother, wife, and most important a good Christian.

The list will continue I am sure, but for now I will close. In reality I know that it is hard to do and be those things 24/7. I'll just take it one day at a time.....Till next time....
