Pizza Party

Nen-nee came to visit after we BEGGED her! I could tell when I talked to her on the phone that she was a little depressed. So, we arranged a "spur of the moment" pizza party. I think it really did her good. The kids love her so much. They colored, ate pizza, and then....... GRANT and REAGAN DANCED!!!! That got her sooooo tickled! They can cut a rug people. There is NO shame in their GAME!

Picture Details

So, below are a couple of pictures. Grant and Scott dressed alike for their first day of school together. And , boy do they look excited! I had to make them smile-and Scott was tickling Grant. The girl in the middle is Grant's teacher. She is so sweet. Her name is Jennifer Johnson. She was also Colby's teacher. We are excited to have her. She is a mother- which means she has patience and IT IS A BOY TOO! Big plus in our book!

First Day of First Grade and my HOT teacher

What is going through their little minds?

Today,I took Reagan to school and tried to think of a way to distract her while I rushed out. I can't stand to see her cry. So, I gave her the little monkey that Jeff and Alyssa gave her for her birthday and she took a little bottle, and I told her that her baby had to go to school.
Well, when we got there, I was so excited because Reagan was walking, opposed to the usual "VELCRO" that we usually experience. But, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when this happened....
Reagan walked to the door, threw the monkey in the class, and said "Don't CI" (long "I" sound). I thought well.... that must be how she feels. Need less to say, we ended up the same old way- Both of us crying. I did get a little laugh in though! I love my babies.
Grant has been very good! He loves his teacher. She is "HOT"- by his standards. She really is cute. But, there was one day this month that he got a sad face for not sitting in his seat quietly. He had gone 3 whole days with a "happy face". I told him it would be okay, because Mrs. Johnson told Scott that he cried ALL afternoon. So, we thought he was really sorry. Then, he said "So, momma, that means that I can get a sad face every 3 days".
WHAT GOES THROUGH THEIR LITTLE MINDS?

Sunshine on a "Cloudy" Day

Well~ Joel, Allison, and Madeline came to the funeral for Mrs. Horne and brought some "SUNSHINE" on a "CLOUDY" Day. What could it be? A new NIECE for me to love. I am so excited to have a little bundle of joy to hold and spoil. Thanks to Joel, Allison, Alyssa, and Jeff for making the long drive to Dothan for the funeral services. We love you all!

August 5th, 2011

Today we mourn the loss of Sandra Elaine Bolden Horne. She was so young- passing away at only 62 years old. Daughter, Wife, Mother, Mother-in-law, Nanna, and Friend. Mrs. Horne passed peacefully Monday morning at 1010am. Scott and I had spent all night and the early morning hours trying to get her fever down. Poppa was right by her side. Her fever spiked to 104.9 degrees. Even being a nurse, I WAS SCARED! At about 3:00am, we left her in Poppa's care with a "stable" temperature of 100. It give our entire family such a feeling of peace to care for Nanna in the last few days of her life. Scott, Alisa, myself, Poppa, and Granny cared for her night and day. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers, food and phone calls. Words cannot express the love and appreciation we feel towards each and every one of you.
