We Love Our Football

I got so tickled at Troy describing football that I just had to share it. (For any of you non-sports fans, he is referring to Alabama and Auburn.) Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Lol

School Beginnings

I am a bad mom. I blogged about Ty's first day of school, but not Troy's. Just don't tell him. Shhhh.
Troy had a great first day of preschool last Wednesday! No crying! When I picked him up, Lori said he did great and he was so excited to tell me what all he had done. :) That makes a moma happy.
Now, two weeks in, both boys are doing well. They are both happy...except for having to get up so early, which I'm not wild about either. ;) Getting up and having to get 3 kids ready to leave before 7 is for the birds. Lol. Our only problem is Ty isn't wanting to do his work at school. He is coming home with papers that haven't got the first pencil mark on them. Jeremy asked him why he didn't do his work, and he said "I just didn't want to." Any suggestions??

Milestones

Ty has hit a cuple of major milestones the past few days! For starters.....

 

He lost his first tooth! :) He came downstairs Sunday morning and said, "Look, Daddy!" He had pulled it all by himself. lol. He was very excited.

He wanted to just keep carrying it around with him. He said he was going to church and tell everybody about his tooth!

A little bit of panic ensued at bedtime. We had told him that if he put his tooth under his pillow, he would get a surprise, but we never mentioned the tooth fairy. However, some other well meaning souls did, and so both of the boys were scared to go to sleep that night, fearing this scary unknown person would sneak into their bedroom at night. And if she could, why couldn't someone else??? So, we told them moma was the tooth fairy, but they still didn't believe me. So while we were there talking, I went ahead and slipped some money under his pillow and told him to look. He was still a little perplexed, since he didn't see me do it. But they weren't scared any more. A few minutes later, Jeremy and I were sitting in the living room and Ty came out in a panic, saying he couldn't find his tooth. He had taken it out of the baggie I had it in and dozed off holding it. When he fell asleep, he evidently tossed it, which woke him up and made him realize it was gone. So we had to have a scavenger hunt for his tooth, which then was placed back in the baggie and brought back downstairs, so it wouldn't get lost again. 

Then, yesterday was his first day of kindergarten!

He got to go to his first day of school with a new hole in his mouth. lol. 

He told me he didn't want me to walk him in - he wanted to go in all by himself. So I dropped him off in car line and pulled away, with a few tears pooled in my eyes over my sweet boy growing up too fast. Where has the time gone? I just want to keep him here with me all the time!

He must have had a fun day. Ha came home happy. When I picked him up and asked him what they did, his reply was: "We played outside on the playground. We ate lunch, we ate breakfast. We had snack. And I didn't have to take a nap!" So we know what his priorities are! ;)

Troy starts preschool tomorrow. This will be the hard one. I am somewhat used to Ty not being here, since he has gone to preschool for two years, but I am used to having Troy here with me. Not to mention he is my moma's boy, where Ty has been daddy's from day one. So, starting tomorrow it will be just me and Sis here at home. I may go crazy.

Happy Anniversary to Me!

 Jeremy and I on our wedding day

Yesterday was my and Jeremy's 8th wedding anniversary. At times it is hard to believe it has been that long, and at others, it feels like it has been forever. I am so blessed that God placed Jeremy in my life. He is a loving husband and father, a wonderful Christian man, an honest hard-working provider, and just fun to be around. ;) He is my best friend. I truly believe that God gave us to each other to have and hold forever adn always.

My parents took this week off as their vacation, and decided to come down and spend a couple of days with us. Since they were coming yesterday, we decided to go out last night (which is something that rarely happens.)  After mom and dad got here yesterday afternoon, I got my shower and Jeremy came home a little early and we went to town to run a few errands. Our all-in-one printer had died, and we needed another one, and he had a couple of jobs he needed to look at. And it. was. hot. Let me tell you. The a/c in my car is not working right, for some reason, and it was just blowing hot air back in. So after we got done with all that, we came back home to freshen up and let me nurse Audrey one more time before bedtime. We got cleaned up and got the kids settled, and headed out to Santa Fe. Yummy. We were both in a steak kind of mood, and it was good. Salad, steak, loaded baked potato, and yeast rolls. My only regret is that I got sprite instead of sweet tea. It was nice. We don't get to go out very often (remember, I mentioned that not long ago), and I can't remember the last time we actually did something for our anniversary. I know we didn't last year. Anyway. It was nice for me to just get out of the house for a few hours and not look at the same ol' walls I see every day. :)

Still happy and going strong after 8 years. :)
