Reviving the Blog

I am sure none of you are still even following this blog (if there was anyone following it in the first place :-)). Regardless.....I am going to try to revive the blog starting right now (i.e. tomorrow).

My son graduated--ok...well, it was just kindergarten!

A little over a week ago, my oldest graduated Kindergarten. O.k. so, kindergarten graduation is probably not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but it was to me!!!! Funny though, a few weeks before graduation, I asked Josh what they were singing...he started singing, 'I am a promise. I am a possibility. I am a promise, with a capital P. I am a great big bundle of Potentiality...' OMG! I sang that at my kindergarten graduation, which was too many years ago that I don't even want to say the number!!! SIGH!

Anyway, Josh did great and looked cute too. So, onto the good part. Here are the pictures...

Updates coming soon!!!

I doubt anyone keeps up with this close enough to care, but I am planning on updating the blog this weekend. Work is crazy and it is baseball season though, so, who knows!!!

My baby's 3!!!!!!!!

I guess he isn't really a baby anymore. That makes me a little sad, but I am enjoying the little boy he is becoming. Caleb definitely received a good share of personality...he is a character. We went to the air show on Saturday. I didn't realize that many people went to those things. I think it will probably be something we try to do every year because the boys loved it. Well, Caleb loved all of it, Josh loved some of it. For some reason, Josh is very sensitive to loud noises. He did not like the simulated bombing runs...Caleb on the other hand was saying 'Do it again...' Sunday was the SPP picnic, which was fun. I have a great group of friends and it was nice to get to hang out for a little while. After that, we went back to the house and got ready for Caleb's birthday party. Here are some pictures from the pumpking patch, air show, and the birthday party...

1st Day of School

Today was the first day of Kindergarten. Josh went to 4k last year, so it wasn't completely traumatic. Actually, neither one of us had a hard time. We walked him into the school. When we got in, most of the other kids were already there sitting on the wall outside the classroom. There was a minute where he got nervous (when he is nervous, he will fidget one of his feet), but when his teacher talked to him he completely relaxed. He is such a big kid!!! His teacher this year is Mrs. Hamby. I went to school with her daughter and she is so sweet! This year, Josh's class has 6 alumni kids...which is weird because I think that is all the ones in 5K. Caleb did good also. We walked him in and he immediately went in and started playing. I even had to go back in to give something to his teacher and he didn't even freak out! All in all, it was a good day. Of course, here are some pictures....

Caleb in the big boy bed. We took down his crib last weekend. Please excuse the non-matching bed linens...

Camping on Lake Chicot

The Take 'em Off party...My dad had hip replacement surgery and had to wear thigh-high compression socks. Being that it is the middle of summer in the south, they were very uncomfortable. Needless to say, we were all ready for him to take them off!

The big 30

Well, today I turn the big 30! It really isn't a huge deal and it isn't like I am under a cloud of depression or anything although, it seems weird to think about saying 30 when asked how old I am. My co-workers have been great. Within an hour of me getting to work, I had two call and wish me Happy Birthday, a group call and sing Happy Birthday to me and several others send e-cards...funniest of all though goes to my 5 yr old...he got me a card that when i open it it sings 'Wild Thang'. Bill said that he saw it, opened it up and said, 'Daddy...we have to get this one.' I have a lot to post, but will have to do it later. This past month has been busy. We finished up t-ball season, I went to San Francisco and went sailing in San Francisco Bay, and we bought a camper...well, 1/2 a camper anyway, and my youngest moved out of his crib and into the bunk beds. I'll post pictures later...
