At the Lake

This weekend was pretty busy for us. Cody went to carowinds on Saturday with the band, and Samie had lots of homework to do. So after Samie did some of her homework on Saturday we went to see Shrek the third. It was a pretty good movie. It was funny. And Casey actually stayed awake. :) Then after the movie we went to the mall to get a birthday present for a party that we went to today. We then went to my mom's and the girls rode bikes and we walked. Today, we went to church this morning. Cody went with his grandma to his dad's house. Then Casey and I went to the park for a birthday party for one of her friends. After the birthday party, we came home and got Samie and Eric and went back to the park. We then played putt putt. and then we went on paddle boats. That was nice. It was very sunny out. I did get some pics while we were on the lake of some ducks. The one of the duck flying is a little blurry because the duck was moving one way and we were moving another way.
For the most part we had fun this weekend. I just hate that Cody was elsewhere both days and didn't get to join us in the fun. Hope everyone has a good week.

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

A mother's arms are made of tenderness, and children sleep soundly in them. -Victor Hugo.
Just wanting to send out a Happy Mother's Day to My Mom and to Norma who has been like a second mom to me. I also want to remember a couple of mom's today. For they helped to mold their children who have helped to mold me and my kids. In the top picture you have My Grandmother with my Mom at my first wedding. My Mawmaw passed away a few years ago, but not a day goes by that I don't think of her, and how blessed I am to have had her in my life and my kids life. Even though Casey is only 6, she did get to know Mawmaw. For that I am thankful.
The next picture is of my Mom with me and my brother as little kids. I am pretty close to my mom. She has been there for me no matter what decision I make and she is like my best friend. I am very blessed to have a mom that I can talk to about anything and who is there for me. I try to talk to my mom everyday. Sometimes I go a couple of days. I Love You Mom!!:)
Then there is a pic of me with Cody and Casey. I don't have one of me with all three kids. I am very blessed to have 3 loving children who light up my days and nights. I am not saying that motherhood is easy, trust me the kids make it a challenge. But I am very blessed to have my kids. I love you kids.
Next is a picture of Norma with Cody. Now Norma has been like a second mom to me. Even though we have had our argurments, but that was a long time ago. She has still been there for me and my kids. And she is like a grandma to my kids. So I wish her a Happy Mother's Day to. And I keep praying for her healing. So far we have had good news. But that is another post. :) Love you Norma!!
And the last picture is of my Mother-In-Law Bonnie. She passed away last year. Without her I would not be blessed with my Husband, so to that I am thankful to have had her as a Mother-In-Law. She loved her grandkids very much. And pictured with her is one of her granddaughters, Caitlin.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. Even to those who aren't mothers, but mother the people they are around by helping God to mold them.

Samie's First Prom

This past Friday night was Samie's first prom. Now she is only in 6th grade, but none the less it was her first. Cody didn't go to his 6th grade one. Anyway, here is the cool thing about this prom. She is wearing the prom dress that I wore to my 8th grade prom with Eric(Samie's dad) is that not cool? To think that Norma(Nunu) has held on to that dress for that many years. It was special for me to see her wearing it. She wore a heeled shoe that had silver on it and was clear across the foot. Kind a like a Cinderella sandal heel looking shoe. :)
She did go stag. She met some friends there and seemed to have enjoyed herself. I still think they grow to fast. All I can think is it won't be long before they are going to their Senior proms. And Casey to her Middle School Prom. Just way to fast.

Cody's First Prom(Spring Dance)

Tonight Cody's school had their Spring Dance(middle school prom). After rushing home from work so that Cody could get ready, I got him at the school about 10 minutes after the dance started. Now here is the shocker..... the vest that he is wearing is the same one that my husband Eric wore at our wedding. And that was 7yrs ago. He is also wearing Eric's shirt and tie. Next year Cody wants to rent a tux. Which is fine with me, as long as he does something with his hair. :)
I just wanted to show off my handsome son on the night of his first prom. Don't they just grow old fast? :)
And isn't Cody just stylin???? :)
