some pictures of the kids

Just a few pictures. Allie and her first taste of chocolate. Think she likes it. Her doing a push up, prior to crawling. Logan at his last karate testing. He got his yellow belt. He broke 2 boards. One with his hand and one with his knee. Then us together, minus dad.

I haven't posted in a long time. I started back to work about a month ago. I have a job at an ob/gyn office. Starting August 10th I'll be full time. I'll work from 8-3 at the front desk then from 3 till done in the back helping the doctor. I really enjoy it. I'm learning so much stuff. This is something I never thought I would ever do in a million years. The Good Lord sent me to where He wanted me, not where I wanted to be. Logan has another karate test August 1st. So, maybe I'll get some more pictures on here before long.

Allie is 9 months old now. She is crawling great, started pulling up on chairs and things about a week after she started crawling. She let go today and stood for a split second. She will be grown before you know it. School starts back on the 10th of August. 3rd grade.... I can't believe it!!

8 months old

Well, time is flying by. Allie will be 8 months old tomorrow. She is crawling and pulling up on things. She almost has a tooth. But it isnt' a front tooth. It's a "whatever" they are called. It's beside where her front teeth would be, if she had any...lol

Logan got his yellow belt. He broke 2 boards. One with his hand and one with his knee. He's loving summer. He stays at mama's in the pool all summer.

We leave for the beach in 5 days. Ahh, I can feel the sand now! I'll post pictures later of our vacation.

I started a new job Monday. I work with a local ob/gyn doctor, as her in room assistant. I've never done that before, but I have now! The paperwork is worse than the actual in room work.

Here are a couple of pictures for now.

last day of 2nd grade

Today was Logan's last day of 2nd grade. They had awards day today. He got 3. 2 for AR. He was the 3rd highest reader in the class and he got an award for the best speller. He made mostly 100's and 105's on the pre-spelling tests on Monday. I only found out today that they don't see these words before the tests. WOW! He's smart! He made the A honor roll again. He only made one B this whole year. The first nine weeks on handwriting. Way to go Logan!

Allie is doing good. She is still trying to crawl. He says dada quite alot now. Loves cheerios. Wants to feed herself everything. Still my little beauty!

I went for a job interview yesterday at the local hospital. Don't know about the job yet. Hopefully I will soon.

Big daddy is fine. Working. We are trying to refinance the house. Payments and other bills are killing us right now. Hopefully if that job doesn't come through, another one will.

Allie then and now

Just a couple of pictures of Allie at birth and at 6 months. I'm just surprised at how much she has grown and how little she still is. She is actually 3 days old in the Auburn onsie. The other is from a few days ago, we were playing in the rain. So grown, yet still so small.

Wow, it's been a month since I've posted anything. So, no one reads this but me. Oh, well, just another notch in the belt.

Allie is starting to crawl. She is getting up on her hands and knees. She isn't real steardy, but she is trying. I've started her on a sippy cup. I would like to get her off the bottle by 10 months. That would be great! I plan on starting potty training when she starts walking. I want her trained by the time she is 18 months. Diapers are killing us, especially with me not working. I am still looking for a job. It sucks. I guess I'm doing what I'm qualified for. Staying home and eating myself to death.

Logan is great. He had a karate demo Saturday. He tried to break a board, but didn't do it. It was the first time he has tried though. He did awesome.

Guess that is all for now!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Well, today I'm 37. I can't believe that in 3 years I'll be 40. I guess I've had a pretty good day. Quite a few people have called me. I have gotten a cake and a card from mama. Other than that, nothing. Logan gave me a card he made on the computer on Tuesday. I guess the older you get the less people care about it. Or maybe it's just the people I hang around. Who knows.

Bo's birthday is on the 23rd. We're having a cookout Friday. Just to have a little celebration. After all, I think birthdays are worth celebrating. Well, we've got to get. Logan has karate tonight.

Busy day

Had a busy day yesterday. My cousin/best friend had her baby shower yesterday. But before that Logan had his karate class doing a Relay for Life thing. They (Relay for Life) had a county wide flea market/yard sale. Logans class did a concession stand and car wash. Last I heard the car wash alone had done $140. This was way before we left and way before it was over. So, I'm hoping they did good. Logan was so tired. He worked so hard, I am so proud of him.

Then came the baby shower. She got lots of stuff, as everyone should at a baby shower. Logan stayed and played with his cousin Hunter and Allie and I came home. Bo stayed up with her so I could go to bed. He brought her in the room last night and I didn't know a thing until 4 am. So, apparently I was exhausted.

Everyone is doing well, I suppose. Logan and I are going on his one and only field trip this year to the McWane Center this Friday. My birthday is Thursday. Picking up pictures on Wednesday of Tyler (nephew), Logan and Allie. We had those taken as a surprise for my mother when Ty was down visiting a couple of weeks ago. You know, she doesn't have any pictures of all of her grandkids together. I thought it would be a nice surprise. And surprises are hard to keep in this family.

Busy day today. The park at the end of our street is a Confederate battle site. Every year in April they have a reenactment. Well, that was yesterday and today. Too busy to go yesterday, so today after church that's where we'll be. Then it's to the grocery store to get ready for the up coming week. Dang, I'm tired already!

These are the lastest pictures of Logan and Allie. Logan is doing a karate move, don't ask me which one, they learn them in Japanese, I've yet to master English. The one of Allie is her 5 month picture. I'm amazed at how far they've both come!
