I Do Remember And I Have Not Forgotten

I was wondering this morning while at the gym why they were showing so many clips of the September 11th attacks and then I realized... today was September 11th. I still remember that day clearly.

I was working in the call center for SCEG and I was pregnant with Corbin at the time. I remember working with a call and then as I was hanging up, I looked up and one of the managers was walking around turning all the TVs on in the building. They were placed all around so when there were storms we could track weather and whatnot. The news was turned on and the continuing buzz of the center literally went dead. No calls came through for over an hour. They weren't routed or anything, no one called. We all just kept our eyes on the TV and watched the terror that was happening. I cried and was so scared for what I was seeing. My mind raced and I thought about Corbin and the times ahead. This was such a tragic time in American history, but through this we were also able to witness miracles and people coming together and getting through this. I still remember that time like it was just yesterday. I remember vividly the things around me and I honestly don't like to. I remember after that day, I couldn't watch anymore coverage on this event because it hurt me so much to see the images on TV. I prayed for those people that were involved and that was my only solace.

Anyway, I want to express how grateful I am to live in this country and I am so thankful for the sacrifices of our armed forces and our civil services that are there to serve and protect us all. May they continue to be blessed for all they do for us!

First Day of School!

School is officially on now and I wanted to wait to post both of these guys together.

Corbin started the 2nd grade on August 19th and so far seems to really be enjoying it. Mrs. Herdon is his teacher and he says that she is really nice. First days are always a little nerve racking (at least they were for me growing up), but when Corbin got in the van he proclaimed to the world, "TODAY WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!" oh how I wish to have that mantra.




Photo taken by Hunter, budding photographer!

Hunter started 3 year old preschool today. He has been very anxious to start. He walked right in and did not look back. He was all smiles in the pick up line and talked and told me about his day. He played with his friend, Jake, he ate snack, played with a big truck, and peed all over the toilet seat. Sounds productive, right? Oh, and his nose has begun to run. Welcome back runny nose- NOT! You know school is in session when the noses begin to run, right?


He was saying cheese and he has also graduated to scruch up your face smile. Funny, because Corbin went through this when he was about three.

Peek A Boo

Dane has found a new place to play- he sits here quite a bit to ponder and he sometimes brings toys, but not today. Had to catch this photo op before he quit doing it.



Cute Piggies!



Who's there?!



Go Away!



Just kidding- here I am!

Robert is Bothered... again

Jimmy Fallon has posted another video of him playing Robert Pattinson and he does not fail in being hilarious! **I did this for you Frances :)**

Mundane Mondays

Okay, so I feel like an unwanted but needed visitor is knocking on my door leading me to feel a little sloshy today... so to add to my perky and happy attitude I've thought of things that have driven me nuts in recent weeks. Ready, set, Go team alpha super awesome cool dynamite wolf squadron (if you can name this move btw, I will give you a Kudos- bar that is)

So here go.... DON'T YOU LOVE IT WHEN....

-You fill up the bathtub and get the kid in and he decides to pee... yeah.

-Someone pulls out in front of you when there are no cars behind you. Just an extra 5 secs that's all Acura guy.

-You hear weird noises coming from the washer (thinking oh no not that now)only to discover that a golf ball was added to the wash at the last minute. Four!

-You eat what you thought was a great meal only to suffer the entire night with what feels like a knife in your gut...

- Make supper and no one wants to eat it.

-Think you're a size 6, but finds out it is actually a the cut of the jeans because no other size 6 fits the same?! What's up with that? I like to think my quads are too muscular but only in my dreams.

-You pour a bowl of cereal and you're bombarded with requests for snacks, to be held, and someone needs help peeing. Then it is soggy by the time you get back. Mmmmm!... because the thought of waste in this terrible economic time period makes you eat it anyways.

-You work really hard to get that make up (that you rarely get a chance to wear)perfect (in your mind) and you leave to get to your destination only to find that you forgot the mascara! The horror.

-Look forward to a good, romantic comedy (clearing throat and coughing out The Proposal) and it turns out to be lame with a side of cheese! Smelly cheese at that.

-Get those Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that you've been craving and they end up tasting and smelling funny. Blast!

-You find a kid and the surrounding wall, carpet, and him literally covered in hand sanitizer... Seriously everywhere!

-When you take your kid for a desperately needed haircut and you leave somewhat satisified... only to return because it went lop sided as soon as it dried... thank you Sports Clips- no we will not be back.
Last one, I promise...

-You're reading this (what seems to be) great book and it goes all anti-climatic on you. Let down.

WHEW! I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! I think I will have a good day now. Hope you do too! Stay tuned. Mundane Mondays might be back- not every Monday, but we can probably count on once a month during that special time! ;)

Potty Humor is the Best!

First, I have to apologize if my potty humor offends anyone. I came across this on a blog and I thought it was sooooo funny- because potty humor is great! Of course it is Twilight related.

Second, I know you are rolling your eyes Mom, and I'm sorry, but I had to. I'd like to dedicate this video to my sister, Leah, who will laugh her butt off I'm sure!!
