All Good Things Must Come to an End. . .so they say

-
Summer Days are coming to a close.  Only in the Dirty South does one look forward to temperatures that don't hit 100 degrees!  I've been so grateful for the cooler weather (lower to mid 90's).  Unfortunately, with cooler weather comes school, and all the craziness that comes with busy fall schedules.  So I'm gonna take a moment to reflect on this past summer's happenings.

Back in May, I had Gavin make a list of all the things that he wanted to do while school was out.   Here's what we came up with. . .
1) do chores to make money
2) go swimming
3) go to the spraygrounds
4) go fishing with Grandpa
5) go to Nashville, TN
6) go to Pensacola and the beach
7) go blackberry picking
8) go to Hannah's house (Smith house in Little Rock, AR)
9) go to a zoo
10) go to an aquarium

Did we do it all????  Check out the pics to see what we didn't get to do
Look what Deep Water Horizon rolled in!?!

The only three we didn't get to do. . . fishing, Little Rock, and the zoo.  Not bad, eh?  We'll just raincheck those and give ourselves till Christmas.  So long Summer of 2010!

Am I in a circus, or what?

It's 9:00pm and I'm reflecting on the day. I'm super tired, but I can't go to bed yet on account of Milla's last feeding for the day (scheduled around 10:00pm or so). I can't help but laugh now that I look back on the events of the day, but I was ready to grab the keys and my purse around 4:00pm. Forget any luggage, I'd just charge everything I need or want when I hit my destination-- wherever that was going to be (probably the first of the Florida Keys for some Key Lime Pie). Did I mention I was going to go alone? Maybe I'd take Milla. . . Let me set the scene for you. . .It's 4:00pm, I've been watching the neighbor's two kids since 11:00am. Yes that's a total of 5 kids-- did I mention I have a one month old? Being the thoughtful wife that I am I decided to make chocolate banana bread so Ty could enjoy a nice warm treat. It's Milla's feeding time and Ty has decided to go down for a nap, so I'm trying to keep all the ...

Family Photos

Ya know how families tend to have a theme when its time to take the annual family picture? Don't know what I'm talking about? Picture Mom, Dad, and all eight kids dressed in faux cowboy shirts with those mother of pearl buttons, blue jeans, and cowboy boots and to top it off, they are all sporting home-made denim vests and cowboy hats. Everybody from teen-age Billy right down to the still-in-diapers toddler all dressed exactly alike. The family is neatly arranged on bales of hay with a cheap looking barn back drop. Get the picture? Anyway, I think I found a family photo that takes the cake...and no, this is not us or anybody I know...its from the internets, so feel free to laugh AT them!
