Not such a good day...

I had plans to sew all day until Mom called saying that I needed to come over to help them. In a rush, I loaded up the kids, and jumped in the car....to find that it wouldn't crank. Luckily, my sweet neighbor, came over to help...we got it cranked and I headed to mom/dad's. The kids stayed there while I went to have the car fixed. Unfortunately, i have some kind of special battery that requires a special order. So, I ended up waiting for a couple hours for nothing. Okay, well...I shopped during that time.

I left there to go get the kids at mom's. I then headed to City Paper to pick up some more bags for my business. When I got home, my embroidery machine was beeping at me with error messages....after calling the technician, I got back up and running...luckily...and the day started shaping up from there.

Happy Birthday Anne Reaves

My little Anne Reaves turned 6 today! Man how time flies!! I can remember celebrating inside the Atlanta airport 6 years ago when we landed in the US from Africa. I called the house and no one answered. I then called Laura's cell and she was in the delivery room about to have Anne Reaves. By the time we made it to Birmingham, Anne Reaves had been born.

We went to Laura's on Sunday to help celebrate Anne Reaves turning 6. We enjoyed swimming in this terribly hot weather. Gibson successfully says Anne Reaves now.

Starting a New School

okay, well, it has been a couple of months...and I cannot sleep...so I decided it was time to update you guys.

The kids have completed going to Mother's Day Out at Hunter Street Baptist Church and they started last week going to Riverchase Methodist Mother's Day out. It was a wake up call in more ways than one for us to get up and get moving and get to Riverchase Methodist by 9:00...but we did it!!

It is a little different in that they do car pool for both the kids. Unfortunately, it is 2 different car pool lines (one for the day school and one for the mom's day out). But, I think I can handle it. :)

Kim Meadows went with me to drop the kids off on the first day and then we headed to Weight Watchers. I lost 2.6 pounds!! We then went the Chuy's (my new favorite restaurant) to celebrate before returning to pick up the kids.

Happy Father's Day!!

We had my family over for Father's Day. The original plan was for us to go to Tuscaloosa but it is just easier for dad to come over here. So, the Skinner's came over and the girls played on the blow up slide thing while the adults cooked, sewed, and talked.

Gibson showed his spinning skills. He has this thing now where he spins and spins until he makes himself dizzy. At the point that he gets dizzy and falls down, he busts out laughing. It makes me smile just thinking about it!

Gibson walks everywhere these days so much so, his toes bleed where he continues to stump them. He takes his shoes off....faster than I can get them on him.
