Our Visit back Home

Well we went back to Tennessee Thursday and spent some time with Mom and Dad. We didn't really get to spend that much time with dad however cause he has been sick. We did get to hang out with my sister and nephews though. We went shopping and hung out, it was fun. I can't believe how big they are getting!





We also went to Memphis Saturday to the Children's Museum. We had never been to this museum. The kids had a good time. Evin is still confused in his football life still. Just so you know this was not my idea to wear the jersey! Natalie and Aiden found a few good hats to try on though while building their house!

Natalie and Aiden had a blast at the Kroger store. You can actually scan your items and pay for them. Evin was the only one who would take his picture with Curious George. Natalie was so scared she screamed running in terror. Aiden did finally shake his hand! He had more fun playing in the other areas.


















We also got to go to church at Hope for the Saturday service. It was the 20 year Celebration. We got to see our friends and had a great time. When we were walking out I saw one of the womens ministry leaders and talked with her. Needless to say I was a mess when when we left. I had a cryfest. Natalie did comfort me and told me it would be OK!

Wednesday September 24, 2008

Well, today was so long....... I finally pulled myself out of bed. I am getting a cold and feel like crap! But anyway, took the kids to school and headed for the Wal-Mart. I did get to have coffee with a friend from here. Then came home and shampooed the kids rooms and the hallway. Then it was time to go back and get the kids. Then I proceeded to mow (push mow) the back and side yard. THEN I came back in showered and headed to the Methodist church for the after school program for the kids. Well I volunteered to help and they put me with the children's choir! I am so glad I decided not to teach. Those kids drove me nuts and I only had them for 2 hours! Then after that we ate and then the kids played on the playground outside. Needless to say Aiden fell asleep on the way home and is out for the night!!!!

I will get to see the hubby maybe sometime tonight. He got to church as we were leaving , he had to practice for Sunday. I kind of miss him just a bit. Good news is my wonderful mother-in-law is going to watch the kids in October for us. It will be nice to chill and just do nothing with Michael.

Natalie and her Assage.

Well a massage is what she meant to say. Apparently Natalie likes a massage. She comes in here to the living room and asked me for a "asage". She then props her feet up and expects me to start! So I tell her no then she lays down across my legs and wants a back rub instead! She is getting so funny these days!
Last week we are driving down the road and Aiden starting doing something to her. So she turns and says " you are just like your mother". I thought Michael was going to run off the road and I had to hide my laughter! i just don't know where she gets some of this stuff!

Trip to McWayne Center

We recently went to the McWayne Center in Birmingham. The kids loved it! I took Aiden and Natalie on Wednesday and then we all went again with Evin on Saturday. It has 4 levels including an aquarium on the bottom floor. Aiden really enjoys watching the fish as well as the top floor which has 2 train models and 2 train sets you can play with. Natalie loves the "butterfly wall". If you stand in front of the screen the butterflies will land on you! Evin had fun i think the most in the wind tunnel and doing the weather!

Potty Training

As you know Aiden turned 2 in July. We got him a potty chair and he loves it! However we have a few accidents every now and then. For instance, he tries to help empty the container.... Not fun! My favorite so far was this morning. Aiden woke up EXTRA early this morning due to going to bed at 5:30 last night! (no nap yesterday) So I get up and turn the TV on and he is watching his shows while me and Michael lay in bed listening to the Wiggles! A few minutes pass and Aiden comes in the room and hands me something. Me half asleep takes it from Aiden not really paying attention to what is is. Upon further investigation of the object I realize it is a TURD! He says " i pee pee, I poo poo" *&%^&^$*^%$*&%^^& Why can't he go to Daddy's side of the bed and give him the turd! So then I am on a mission to find the missing diaper and the rest of his morning surprise! Of course it was in sisters room. For some reason it is so much more fun to take ones diaper off in their sisters room! Thought I would share my turd story. I will have many more I am sure.....

We finally got internet!!!

Well we have been here for about 2 months now, and we FINALLY have internet!!!!!!
