T-Ball

Reid played his last t-ball game tonight. Here's a picture of him earlier in the season when he was playing catcher. He begged Coach Matt to play catcher. When Sister ask him why he wanted to play catcher he said "cause you get the ball almost every time".

Wild River Country

I went with Sister and the boys to Wild River Country this afternoon. I really enjoyed the "lazy river" and the wave pool playing with the boys. Reid decided that he wanted to go down a BIG slide so you guessed it... I had to go first to make sure that it was not too scary for him. The only catch is that there's a pool of water at the end of the slide and you pretty much have to go under when you get to the bottom. For those of you who know me you know that I am not a big fan of swimming especially going UNDER the water, but Reid really wanted to. So I had to be a big girl and go down the slide. Only thing is there wasn't anyone at the bottom to catch me like there was for Reid. It actually ended up being alot of fun even if I did have to go UNDER all 3 times that we went down it. Here's a link to a video of the ride.

What I do for those boys!! I sure hope they don't ask for the moon someday! :)

Shopping Bags

Here's the latest news that I forgot about in my last entry. I no longer use plastic bags when I go to the grocery store. I bet I have a bazillion of them in my closet (let me know if you need some) and I am sick and tired of bringing home 10 more everytime I go to the store. SO... I now take my own reusable shopping bags that I have accumulated from Wal-Mart, Kroger, here and there! Not only am I cutting down on all those stinking bags that I can never seem to use up, BUT I am going green! You also get a 3 cent discount per bag at Kroger so I figure by the end of the year it would pay for itself.
Here's a few laughs about my shopping bags..... I took them to Greenbrier to the "Stupidcenter" to get a few things. When I handed them to the cashier she looked at me and the bags like I had lost my ever loving mind or handed her a foreign object. I just smiled and politely told her to put my groceries in there instead of using a plastic bag. The other laugh was at Wal-Mart one day. I have an insulated bag that I absolutely love and the cashier was making a big deal over it... "oh this is so nice, it will be great for the ride home, blah, blah, blah" so she rings me up, bags my groceries, and sends me on my way. When I get out to my car I am pretty sure I laughed out loud in the middle of the parking lot 'cause she has put my bread and cereal in my "insulated" bag. Boy, am I glad she made sure my bread didn't get hot on the way home! :) Anyway, not only am I doing my part in helping the environment, but I get a good laugh ever once in awhile as well!

KITTY

this is a picture of Kitty when she stayed the weekend with Bridget Heffington AKA Kristin and Mark's.

Update!

well, it has been a long while since I have blogged. Where do I begin??

# 1. I finally got a new car. After many trips to several different car dealerships I bought a Toyota Camry. It took a while for me to find THE car that I wanted. I did drive the Civic for 8 years and plan on driving this one for a long time as well so I couldn't make a rush decision. :) I have tinted the windows since this picture was taken, but here's a picture of the new ride.#2 I ran the Country Music Half-Marathon in Nashville, TN and finished in 2 hours 11 minutes and 22 seconds. I would have finished under 2 hours, but started having knee pain and had to walk 1.5 miles of the race. Here's a picture of my AWESOME medal that I got for finishing. Oh by the way I placed #8004 out of 21, 368 runners!

#3 We took the boys to Wye Mountain while Meme and Loyd were here.


Riley turned 1 year old on Saturday!











#4 Jessica and Omar got married in May. I'll have some pictures of that before long.

#5 Kristin R. and Clayton got married on Saturday. CONGRATS Mr. and Mrs. Whittmore!

I can't think of anything else that has been going on lately. Brandon has started working in his shop and I like him being at home when he's working.
