Tre didn’t believe me when I told him that there are women in the world stronger than his daddy. I decided to prove it by pulling up a bunch of Google images showing female body builders. His reactions:
Eww. That’s gross. Why did you have to show me that? I haven’t been bad today. I didn’t deserve punishment.
Women body builders are not hot. At all. They …

Friday, we packed up and hit the road to travel to Hattiesburg where my husband was playing in our high school’s first ever Alumni football game the following evening. It started out just like every other trip we’ve made with all five of the kids – and the dog – but when we got almost to Jackson, there was a speedbump-sized BUMP in the highway …

I am so proud of my little man. Last year, Tre struggled with school. He wasn’t ‘good’ at much of anything {except art and journaling} but not because of lack of ability – it was because of a lack of confidence which made him believe he couldn’t do well… so he didn’t try. This year has been a COMPLETELY different story! The first 6 weeks, …

THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GROW UP!?

And, no – I don’t consider me whispering a silent, “Lord I can’t wait until they turn 18 so I can send them to COLLEGE!” to be expressed permission for them to grow up. I mean, …

Last night, we went to watch Tre play his FIRST game of football. They had their Jamboree two weeks ago and have since canceled 2 regular season games due to weather causing bad field conditions, so he was READY to play this game!! Tre is #9 :) You’ll have to forgive some of the blurry shots. These were all taken at 3x optical zoom from …

Today, my baby turned 8. I remember when our only son was born – September 26, 2001 at 4:11pm. Back then I didn’t know he’d be the only little boy in our family. I just knew he was the first… and he was precious. He was 9 pounds, 6 ounces 22.5 inches long. The nurses referred to him as “the big one” :) Since Day …

The kids are on the bus, headed to school… Talia starts 1st grade this year… Tre, 2nd… and Bryiana, 4th. Avalyn will start Pre-K next week. My babies aren’t ‘babies’ anymore – they are all growing up SO fast! Zoe will be the only kid here with me during the day, which will be nice but I’m realizing how quickly the time will arrive that …

Last year, due to some pretty irritating problems at my childrens’ school {it started with this… and ended with this} I decided to pull Tre out of public school and homeschool him for the remainder of the year. One thing I have been concerned about for a while is that Tre started Kindergarten when he was 4 because of how his birthday falls in the …
