Food for the soul

"Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us to the core. Expecially when the words are harsh or offensive. The impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to harm it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart to hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We can not ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel. What we owe to ourselves & everyone around us is to examine the reasons of our true intent."


" Never take a person's dignity: it is worth everything to them, & nothing to you."

Little man

Our sweet little man started preeschool today. I thought He would have a hard time with it. He has been telling me all week that he will not be going to school EVER!!! When we got there he loved it so much that he didn't even say bye mom love ya. Nothing of the sort, he just said see ya, and waved bye. So out the door I went. Shopping just me and he baby who slept the hole time. It was like peaceful, not a kid yelling for miles. Sooooooo....... anyway bryton will be going to school monday, wednesday, & friday. For 2 1/2 hours. Seems like all of the sudden my kids are getting bigger & bigger & bigger.

The big fall

So if you are in the mood for a funny story, here one is. Well this happened a couple weeks ago. I was outside riding bikes with bryton. Were going along down the sidewalk and bryton is way ahead of me. Then all of the sudden I go over this huge crack on the sidewalk and fall flat on my butt. I hurry to look around to see if anybody sees me. Nobody is around that I can see. Bryton turns around and says, " Mom what are you doing on the ground?" I said well bryton mommy fell down. Then he says oh mom are you ok? I show him my ankle which is bleeding from the crash. Then he says we have got to hurry back to the house to get a band aid. So we turned around to go get a band aid. Then he said mom I think you have had enough riding for the day you better go and have a rest. What a sweet little man I have!
My theory as to why I fell is. I was riding emma's scooter and it got high centered on the sidewalk when I went over the big crack. It really threw me down hard. No joke! I bet someone some where saw me through their window and was just bustin up laughin.

Locked out

So this morning I walked emma to the bus stop at about 8:15. Some how as I left the house, I locked my door.Sooooo........ I just got in(10:08). It took me and my neighbor two hours to wake bryton up. We were ringing the door bell hundreds of times, throwing toys at his bedroom window, & yelling yelling yelling. I can't believe I don't have a key hideing anywhere. But don't worry we will be going to the store today and getting some made. But a big thanks to bryton for finally wakeing from his beauty rest to see what all of the crazy noise was.

Audrina's ear

For those who have not seem Audrina's ear here it is. The Dr. calls it an ear accessory. She will have an operation when she is a year old. She will just have a little scar when it's all done.

tooth #5

So Emma lost tooth #5. It was the oddest thing she says. I woke up and my tooth was just in the side of my cheek. I did not even know her tooth was loose. She said she didn't want me to know cuz I would try to get it out and that she could handle her teeth on her own!!

Cousin Amanda

We really enjoyed having Amanda and Will over. They were visiting from maine. We had pizza and some beers. Root beer for the kids of course.
