Grant

I can hardly believe that Grant, also known as G, is 12 years old today. Just doesnt seem possible. So cliche to say time flies but it really does. We had a fun party last night with G and the rest of the fam. His Dad built him a half pipe, got some clothes, books, cds and moola. Just want to celebrate his special day--which included Mom bringing sonic to school for lunch for him. Glad he isnt too big to have mom eat with him. Happy Birthday Gman!

Summer winding down

Well, sad to say that summer is winding down. Kids are back in school and vacations are over. I am glad to be getting into some kind of routine. Since I last blogged we have been very busy with a mini-vaca to Baton Rouge (will have some pics posted later of that), kids starting school (Grant 6th grade and Abbey -sophomore), baby showers and visits from family. I am still training for the Murfreesboro Half Marathon and have made it up to 10 miles in my training! Hard to believe I know! My little brother just left today. He was here for a week visiting us. He is starting his senior year at Texas Tech (majoring in Petroleum Engineering!) We had a good time showing him around Nashville and the Boro! Just wanted to update you with some pics and news!
