Vacation 08




Well it was what most would consider a normal Friday night. But for us,it was a fun night. Jon got to go to the Midnight release party for the 3rd book in the Eragon series. I had gone to a thrift store the night before and gotten some boots and shirts for his costume to wear in the contest they were having. So as most moms know, for about 2-3 hours the night of, we were fixing his costume to wear that night. It was all worth it. He won the competition dressed as the actor who portrays Eragon in the movie. He really looks like a young Eragon. He won a free book and was SOOOOO Excited. Gotta love midnight release parties.....

Vacation at Nanas'

Since I am watching a football game I really dont care about, I can continue to blog. This past week has flown by. It is September..... here in Cherokee county, we get one week out of school in September!!! The kids have been in school since Aug. 4th, so they are ready for a break!!! It has been fabulous football weather, but not the best swimming weather... We go to the pool and they last ohh about 35-40 minutes. I on the other hand am quite comfortable sitting in the sun reading....oh yeah, they come out with their teeth chattering...To start this week off, we left late last friday and headed down to my moms house for a long weekend. Saturday morning, Jon got surprised with papa taking him on his first dove shoot.... (one of my favorite hunting adventures) He had a great time.... bagged two doves with papa... and won a great pair of planting shears. Mom and I hung out at the house, went swimming with the kids and just relaxed....



Sunday was lots of fun too. Dad, the kids and I surprised mom at church.... ha ha she thought she was going to get away without us there....GOTCHA!!! Then, i got the grand idea to go visit with my big bro at his house. He had told me that they were doing something for Leanne, and he SWEARS he told me to be there around noon.... (no he didnt) But lucky for him, we were there at 10:30. It was a lot of fun, the kids had a great time. Leann's fav cake is German chocolate and the one her sister Diane brought was absolutely wonderful!!! My kids love to hang out with uncle Jeremy and Aunt leelee..... We often go home and dont even get to see them but for like an hour or so, so this was great!!! The only problem was I forgot to take my camera.....UGGHHH. Then we got to watch the twins and spend oh about an hour with them on Monday. They had football practice, so we stayed and watched. I ran into a few friends from highschool one i hadnt seen in 18 years.... Wow that is a long time. So it was really cool....Then we drove back on Tuesday morning so I could teach class tues afternoon. It was a great weekend.

Belated Braves game update.









Braves game..... On August 18th. I composed a blog about the Braves game that my younger brother Eric took my boys to. They had a blast... Eric, Mindy, Hannah and the Twins (Coy and Colton) came for the weekend to Atlanta... Eric had 8 tickets to go to the game and used them with Keith, Jon and Christian going with. They had some really good seats and now my little ones can say they have been to a professional Baseball game.




It was a lot of fun having Eric and his family at the house. They are always fun to hang out with. I hope they can come back again.... I just know that until hunting season is over, I wont see Eric, unless I go to Camden again....He is ALWAYS working!!! But he does always seem to enjoy life while he is at it!!!




Jessica had been invited to a friends house for a sleepover, so Anna and I went to a movie. I now have an 8 year old who LOVES Mama Mia!!!! Atleast some of the adult themes were over her head...
