Good Times at D-1 With the Fam (Missed you, Haley!)

You can tell by the sweaty hair that we had a big work out this morning. Carter ranked it at about a 5 out of 10 on the intensity scale. I asked my son, Blake what he thought about it after we were about 15 minutes into it and he said: "It's not easy. That's for sure." My husband, Greg, asked, "What were those up and down things? Burpies? I HATE those!" Kara and I were glad for them to experience the HealthQuest and to understand more how challenging it is. I'm thinking Advil will be consumed by both for the next few days!

Mo is On The HomeStretch, with Debbie Alan!

I am so happy to announce that Greg's step-dad is officially cancer-FREE! Click here to listen!

Center Hill Lake - Good times....

Look at that gorgeous view from our own private balcony!

Sara and Todd were our hosts - and I must say they did an awesome job!! Love them!

We had two other couples with us, along with Sara's relatives, Brandon and his Mom, Teresa. We had such a great weekend, and made some new friends.

HEY!!!!!!

I just had to post this video of Brandon while he was surfing behind the boat on the lake. (Brandon is a relative of my good friend, Sara.) At one point he even dropped the rope, but continued to "do his thang" on the board! It was absolutely amazing!!! Wish I'd gotten video of him doing flips and other crazy things. It was quite a show!!!

Precious Prayer

This is a sweet video of the children in my class singing a prayer song before snack time. I'm going to miss seeing them this summer!!

(they usually keep their heads bowed the whole time - but they knew i was recording them, the little cuties!)

Blake's baseball season is just beginning!

Blake made the BMS Varsity team, which is quite an accomplishment! This picture is from a game they played downtown at Greer Stadium. Cool, huh?

He is on the same Brentwood Babe Ruth team as last year. They are the Blue Sox and look to be pretty good. I wonder if they will go all the way to the State Tournament again?

He plays catcher and loves it. I can't imagine why! There are bats swingin' and balls flyin' by....

Kara's playing softball...

and Greg is one of the coaches! This group is THE CUTEST! Most haven't played ball in years, but they have hung in there and done a pretty good job!

Welcome to our Family from "Down Under!"

Today we got to go over to Gran and Mo's house for dinner to meet our relatives from Australia!

My "Baby" is 15!!!

Yes, we are about to have 3 teenage drivers in our family! Thanks to our wonderful friends, the Fogelbergs, we had a fun celebration. Greg and I took Blake to play putt-putt (I had 5 hole-in-ones!) for the afternoon. Sara and Todd took care of getting the pizza and cake for us. Thank you to Sammi and Ellie for helping put ALL those candles on the cake! :)

What a birthday for Blake... He got to celebrate in beautiful Sea Grove, Florida, and was surrounded by beautiful girls!!!

Anyone wanna buy a piano?

KAWAII 44" Console. It's about 11 years old...but is like new! None of our children stuck with it, and it has basically been a pretty piece of furniture in our house for way too long! We bought it from Shuff's in Franklin. asking $2200

Miss Julie and Miss Sara's Easter Program!

Here they are! The CUTEST li'l Easter Eggs you'll ever see! I "borrowed" pictures from Ashlyn's mom so I can show them off in my blog. We had a sweet program and I was so proud them for being up there on that stage! The Easter Eggs in the big basket behind them are the ones our class painted for our Art Board. Aren't they a talented group?!

The finale is always so precious! Seeing all of the children together in their spring colors, singing sweet songs about Jesus and Easter always warms my heart~

Miss Eva's Easter Program

Here are a couple of pictures that I stole from Brax's mom of "Miss" Eva's program. Aren't they adorable?!! =) We only had one to get off the stage and run to mommy. heehee! "Miss" Pat was able to bring her back without tears or screaming. She is amazing!

THE MISSION

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today was our Valentine's Party at Otter Creek. I was so glad that most of the children were able to make it to school despite the "blizzard" going on outside! We missed "Miss" Sara, Emma and Carly Beth, and look forward to everyone being together next week. :)

Once again, our Party Moms did a wonderful job putting together a "sweet" party. L@@K at the cookies they made for us!

Here is a picture of our Tuesday/Thursday Twos' Valentines Party. It was not easy to resist eating one of those cute donuts!
