Remembering

Isn't it amazing how you can remember exactly where you were,what you were doing and how you felt 8 years ago today? I remember that we were "officially" finding out we were pregnant with our first baby. What about you? I will never forget and will always be grateful to those who have chosen to serve for our freedoms. Thank you!!

Big Day Today

Well, I officially have three in school now. My sweet precious Boogs started K3 today. *tear* I can't believe that time is already here! It seems like yesterday that Mimi was starting K3 and Boogs was about to be born. My oh my how time does fly!



Mimi and Bud telling Boogs to have a good day at school.



"I'm ready for 'kool momma".



In case you noticed, yes, his shirt is different from the other pictures because he managed to somehow get something on his other one soooo we had to change right before we walked out the door. Ever happen to you?



Walking in like such a big boy! *tear*




We also have a Brownie in the house!! Mimi decided she wanted to be a Girl Scout. She has not been interested in doing anything like gymnastics, ballet, softball or anything like that, but the other day she came home with a flyer she had gotten at school and told us that she wanted to be a Girl Scout. It threw me off because I hadn't even thought of that, but a few of the little girls in her class are in Girl Scouts so maybe that's what sparked her interest. I'm so excited for her. David and I really wanted her to be involved with something but weren't going to force her into doing something she wouldn't enjoy. This just came at the right time.

She had her first meeting this past Tuesday night and she loved it. She also gets to go on her first outing on Saturday called GSI, which is sort of like a CSI type of thing but for little girls. They'll get to solve a mystery and learn about all of types of different crime solving things. She's really excited about it and I am so glad!

We are also in full Fall Ball mode now too! I love it when Bud plays ball! He has gotten really good at it and I'm not just saying that because I'm biased and he's my son. He really has gotten better and better. I get so much joy from him coming home from practice (usually I go but couldn't this past Monday) and hearing him tell me that he hit the ball everytime to the outfield! I love to see the excitement on my babies faces when they do something that makes them proud of themselves! They are just growing up too fast!

Little man is growing so fast! He is such a sweetheart too! He will be four months old tomorrow and I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday that we were at the hospital with him! He is smiling all the time when he looks at you and he is really starting to giggle. The thing I love the most is peeking at him first thing in the morning and watching him wake up and then when he sees me, he smiles the biggest toothless smile ever. It is just sooo cute!



I am so thankful that I get to be their mom!!

Hope each of you have a blessed day! =)

Please Pray

Please keep the Ramers in your prayers. They lost both of their twins, who were two years old, to a drowning accident back in July. I cried as I read their blog last night. It's so heartbreaking.

If Today Was Your Last Day

Read the words to this song by Nickelback. Awesome!!! Makes you think!!

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
