TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH LATELY!!!

I have been really bad about blogging lately. I guess we're all a little or a lot tired from starting back to school. Summer sure spoiled me!!!! I'll try to think of everything from the past week or two. We need lots of prayers for our friend Melissa who lost her cousin in a plane crash in Nepal, my cousin Twila who is having many complications from a recent surgery, and the Owens family from daycare. Please look over them all God!!! Caroline and Carter are now adjusting (most of the time) to daycare. Work for me is good. I love my co-workers!!! My students are pretty good too!!! One might be pregnant though. ( we should know this week) Jeremiah is getting geared up for football. The first game is this Friday. Too bad Nannie has to miss it this year. This past week was good and busy. We had gymnastics Monday. Thursday night I met some girlfriends out for dinner. Two of them are pregnant, so we had lots of fun girl talk!! Friday, Carter had his 15 month appointment and they found an ear infection. No wonder he didn't sleep well the night before!! Friday night Caroline, Carter, and I went to Nanno and Papa's and Caroline spent the night. We just took Saturday easy. Everyone was in bed by 9:15 but me!!! Sunday, Jeremiah made some delicious french toast before he headed off to football meetings. Caroline, Carter, and I had fun playing most of the day. We had a little dancing and singing session in the kitchen to Taylor Swift. When he got home, I went to Zumba. Now the kids are in bed, I'm blogging, and he's playing the video game. Here are some pics......

SHE WAS SO EXCITED TO SLEEP OVER AT NANNO AND PAPA'S!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA GRACE......

August 20, 1910 was the day that the most amazing woman was born. I miss her everyday and am so saddened than she doesn't know my sweet babies in person, but I'm glad she's in heaven feeling good again with Grandpa, Joann, and all her friends and family. Yesterday Grace Angela Blevins would have been 100 years old. Every year I go to visit her grave on her birthday and this year I took Caroline and Carter. Caroline was so sad that she passed on my birthday, but I told her that was the day she got to go to Heaven. Here are some pics I took.

KISSES FOR SWEET GRANDMA

OUR GYMNAST/BALLERINA IS BACK IN ACTION!!!

Caroline started back to her gymnastics class Monday night. She did a great job. She used to just bounce up and down through the entire warm-up, but this time she tried doing all the moves to the hokey poky song. She did great and listened to everything her coach said. Carter was quite different than the last time we were there!!! He was really good, but sooo busy. He spotted some purses and kept roaming over to get into them. He also found a teenage girl that he was quite fond of. He walked over to her several times and put his hand on her leg and just looked up at her with a grin until she acknowledged him. He did this several times. What a flirt!!!


I JUST LOVE THESE LITTLE SHORTS!!!

EATING DINNER AFTER GYMNASTICS AND BATHS.........................

AMANDA'S BIRTHDAY

Last weekend was a weekend full of birthday parties!!! On Sunday we went to Amanda's. I can't believe she's 14. She's such a sweet and pretty young lady and Caroline LOVES her!!! Here are some pics from her party held at their house.

CARTER IS ALMOST AS BIG AS SHAYLEE IN THIS PIC!!

We played the most silly game called "Pterodactyl" You sit in a circle and go around one at a time saying Pterodactyl to the person next to you. You have to do this with your lips over your teeth. If you laugh or show your teeth, you are out of the game. It's crazy how such a silly game was so fun!!!
