20/15

In less than 24 hours I've gone from being "blind" to seeing 20/15! I don't really think it has sunk in yet. How can that be possible??! I don't know, but I'll take it!! No more glasses, no more contacts, no more worrying when I shower or swim if my contact will fall out, no more worrying about saline, and running out of contacts...NO MORE!! After 24 years of blurriness...it's gone!! YIPPPPEEEE!!
D goes in next week...I hope that his goes as well as mine did.

Lots going on around these parts. I don't even know where to begin. I think the most annoying thing going on is that our little town has some theives on the loose. And they are robbing our churches...of all the places. I think last I heard our church was the 4th and this week they hit our benevolence ministry, Living Water. Not only did they steal some things and make a mess...but they stole food and then left some of the freezers open! I'm not sure if the food was completely ruined or not...but still...SOOO frustrating!!

Anywho...The boys all went to the Homecoming parade tonight. I really wanted to go and take pictures of the boys...but decided I would stay in and "baby" my eyes another day:) They brought home a TON of candy...

B also got some new cowboy boots from Tina (my step-mom) and my Dad tonight. He looks REALLY cute in them and he was SUPER excited wearing them! SOO CUTE! I will take pics of him later...he's in bed now.

So, another new thing in our house is family game night. Tuesday night is now officially family game night. Last week was our first night and we played Hungry, Hungry Hippo...




This week we played Toy Story Memory...which I didn't get any pics of. It's been fun...B of course usually does something to ruin the game...HA! Not really, he just doesn't follow all of the rules...

Well...If I put EVERYTHING I've missed in the last few weeks...this thing would be like 7 million pages long.


Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time for scrapping lately :(
BUT, I'm hoping to have some stuff later this week. We've made some changes to our schedule and so we don't have AS many things going on now. Still a lot going on, just not as much.

Well, the weeks almost over and I hope it has been great for ya!

dumb cookies...

Well...I was planning on updating today...have just been busy and then I kinda forgot. Soooo...I got on here to update and I couldn't sign in due to some issues with my cookies. Anywho, I got it figured out, but now it's time for me to go to bed. I have an appt at 8 in the morning, in Amarillo (that's about an hour away if you don't live around here). So I need to hit the sack.

It should be another busy week...I am supposed to get LASIK done on Wednesday!! I'll post more about that tomorrow also...that is what my appt is for...to see if I actually can get it done for sure. Hope it goes well!!!

I'll leave you with one of my faves of B from last week...

Here is my little super hero...he calls himself "Super Speed".

And when he takes off his gear, he'll tell me that Bryson is back...pretty darn cute!
Hope everyone has a good week!!!

Wellllll....

I'm like sooo behind I don't even know where to begin!
Life has been non-stop. I think for two weeks we had someone over at our house almost every night. But now school has started and things are starting to get back to normal, somewhat. It's so much easier to keep a schedule during the school year...
Anywho...we've had a lot going on. C started the 4th grade! WHAT??!!? I honestly can not believe he is in the 4th grade. It kinda makes me feel old...HA! He was blessed with an AWESOME teacher this year and we can't wait to see how the year goes. AND they finished the new school, so he is getting to enjoy each day in a brand spankin' new school. It looks so nice. I think the schools here are all at least 50 years old...probably older. So it is a huge treat for our little town.
Here's the big guy off to his 1st day of school...
He was pretty excited.
B was also excited and loaded up a little backpack with crayons and a coloring book...he cried all the way home after he realized he wasn't staying with his big bro. It was so sad...

Speaking of B, he has been going to the chiropractor for some potty issues he was having. He has done SOOO much better than I thought he would and his problem seems to be fixed. Now if we can get him to acutally do his business in the potty, that would be GREAT! He was doing so good, and I don't know what happened, but he's regressed in the last few weeks.
I was really tempted to take my camera and gets some pics (cause it is just so cute)at the Dr. office, but I felt kinda silly and opted not to. He gets along with the Dr. so well...he even gave him a kiss the other day...yep, on the mouth! He's crazy!

Friday is D and I's anniversary...10 years. I can't believe it's already been ten years. I'll have to dig up some wedding photos to put on here Friday. Love ya honey! Can't wait for 10 more and 10 more and 10 more and...well, you get the picture...

I'm random today...jumping from one thing to another...
but the boys also got a trampoline a few weeks ago. B LOVES it...all he wants to do is go jump...all day long. Here he is doing some laps...burning off some of that intense energy...YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!


OK...so I guess I will post some scrappy stuff now...
Here are some LOs for Triple the Sketch...

The first one is B...one of my favorite pics of him...


And here we are this past Easter...the whole fam...Bry was NOT cooperating!

And last but not least...I'm a little reluctant to share this one...I did post it in my gallery, but my friends and family don't look at stuff there...just here. But I really like it and it was good to get things off my chest and on paper...so here it is...


Here is the journaling...just scroll down a little...sorry it's a little long...

Ok, so now that I've depressed everyone..JK!
I guess that is just about it for today...I'm hoping to get back on some sort of bloggy schedule soon...
So until then...
Be blessed!
