Out With The Girls

This morning some of the girls and our kids went out for breakfast and then to the park. It went way better than I could have expected, though I am not sure what the waiter at the IHOP thought. There were 12 of us, and 7 of those were kids!!!!! Yes mom I left him a big tip.... All of the kids were better than we could have asked for especially after they waited for everyone (uhhumm..Stephanie..it was 9:30 not 10:00) before we ordered. We then went to the Fletcher Park and the kids played while we chit chatted. It was me and Coy, Stephanie and her little ducklings Austin,Summer, and Sophie, Brenda and her little guy Lucas, Melissa (who got me into the whole bloggong idea...Thanks so much...) and her princess Cloey, and Brendas friend Stephanie whom I met for the first time, and her little girl Corbit(hope I spelled that right.... I love being around little girls....they are so different than my 2.....

Tanner's First day of 4th Grade

Tanner started the 4th grade last Thursday...Wow!!! Can you even imagine??? He is so fine with the whole school routine...he gets up at 6:20 and eats breakfast while I take a shower. Then at 6:45 he gets in the shower. He is out about 7 then gets dressed, then I put his contacts in for him, and make sure he has DO on so no BO (LOL). Then Papaw gets here about 7:25 and Tanner and I leave for our busy day. Coy has yet to be up when we leave, he is such a stinker.

Me

Wow...Things are going really good for me right now, It is like a calm before a storm, I hope nothing is lurking on the horizon. I am at a point in my life where I have some really good adult friends, the kind you haven't known since you were a child and are just mature. Tanner is back in school and loves it, Coy is hanging out with Papaw and not wanting to go back to school. My sister and I are back on pretty good speaking terms and actually enjoying each other. Keith is more content and settled in his job since the take over. He has cooked supper 3 times in the past 2 weeks...WOW!!!! Work is going really well, we actually got a small bonus for the first time in forever.... Just feeling real good about my corner of the world....

This is Jared's room...it has the coolest baseball mural on one whole wall!!!!!!!!!

PINEHURST

The boys and I went to my sisters new house in Pinehurst this past weekend, we actually found the country club and I hopped out and took pictures (that is my car you can see just behind the P). Pinehusrt is really pretty, it is like a larger scale Biltmore Forest.

Brianna and I worked hard on unpacking and arranging her room, it is so cool, she has the bonus room above the garage, and it has a Huge full bathroom!!!

The livingroom has a built in for the TV above the fireplace, the three of us got the tv in there.

This is Allison's room, it is so pretty, it is half pink half purple, with a princess border.

Montreat Park

Friday the boys and I went to Montreat with some of my close friends and their kids. The park there was so Great. Everyone had such a good time. There is great play equipment, which you will see no pictures of because I couldn't get my kids out of the creek long enough to notice the swings and slides, and creeks running right in the middle and around the perimeter. Shelley brought Lexi her niece who is 8 so even Tanner had someone to play with. Coy had a Great time with Parker Buddy, he has not warmed up Gabby yet, or Gabby just won't tolerate him yet...teeheehee.... Lori had baby Grant too, so we passed him around to love on him. Stephanie brought the triplets who are not all the same age....haha..lol... Summer and Austin are twins and are 3, and Sophie is 2, but to see them in a row like little ducklings you would never guess they weren't triplets..... I Love Having friends....
