Happy Birthday

I know I said I was on a break but today is R8's birthday.

He is now 9 years old. Hence the name change to R9.

I can't believe that 9 years has past so quickly!

This is the last year for single digit birthdays. He is half way to eighteen. Eight more years at home.

OK crying now and moving on.

And because today is his 9th birthday I am going to list 9 things I love about him!

1. He is very funny.

2. He takes the long way around to tell a story, can't leave out any details.

3. He loves his brother.

4. He loves to play Uno.

5. He is an AWESOME catcher.

6. He loves to watch movies with me, while snuggling.

7. He loves to read! He finished the Diary of the Wimpy Kid books in 5 days....4 books!

8. He loves to snack on Hubs' home made hot sauce and chips.

9. He is just a really great kid!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY R9!!!

I love you!!!

Time

Time never seems to be as long as I want it.

And while I worried about the time I have been with out work, God has blessed me in other areas of my life.

I have had time with my boys. Time with my husband.

I have had time that I normally would not have had if I hadn't been laid off.

I am so thankful God opened doors for me and provided me with a new job.

But my time is once again limited.

I have about two more weeks off before I go back to work.

And because we all know how precious our time is, I have decided to spend it with my family.

I am going to be "plugged" into them and "unplugged" from blogging.

So I'll be back in a few weeks, hopefully with some great adventures to share. And of course you know I will still be reading y'all's stuff, I can't go with out my daily laughs and smiles.

So have a great vacation and I will see y'all soon!

On the payroll again

Yes my friends as of July 15th I will be employed once again!

Weeks of praying and prayers from y'all have paid off.

Weeks of being patient. Weeks of wondering. Weeks of crying to weeks of joy.

I am still in to much shock to even do the happy dance!

So bloggy friends, thanks for everything!

Y'all are truly the best!!!

He Arose

My mother in law sent this clip to me.

And it is to precious not to pass on to y'all.

It's so hot I think my brain is fried

I can not believe it's the end of June, what happened to April and May?

I also can not believe how hot it is! The temps have been running in 100's and that's with out the heat index.

Even the pool water is warm, and that is just gross. It's like taking a bath!

So in honor of the heat I am posting this picture.



And yes it is hot enough to fry an egg on the cement.

How hot is it by you?

Elvis now has a mullet

I couldn't resist taking this picture the other day.

R4 went into my closet and pulled out my dress boots and also found Hubs' Elvis wig from my 40th birthday party.

This is the lovely creation he came up with.

Sweet sleeping faces
