BUSY BUSY BUSY!!

Today, was a jam packed day! McKayla has so much going on these days. Here is what we did today.

8:30 we were up and eating breakfast. McKayla went to play practice at 9:30. I was in the shower and left at 11:15 to go to our last game, the girls did a great job cheering! It was a great end to the season. I definitely had the best little cheerleaders! The game was over by 1:00 and we went home ate some pizza and went to the Bloom grocery store to sell girl scout cookies at our cookie booth at 2:00. It was freezing, we were there until 5:00. We came home and Parker and McKayla got ready to go the Father/Daughter banquet at the church. (Mason went with them too) I got ready for work and we all left at the same time. I worked from 6:00 til about 10:20. I am finally home and I am loving the down time.

OK rewind, zzzzzzip, it sounds like McKayla and Parker really enjoyed the banquet. It was a 4 course meal. McKayla loves spending time with us 1 on 1. It really makes her feel special, and I'm so glad they were able to go to this together. Even though Mason was there, Parker really did a good job making the night about her, I'm so thankful that he is sensitive to her that way. McKayla won a door prize, which was a gift certificate to a chocolate store. mmmm I can't wait to take her to that store and see what they have. I might just have to get a little sumpin' sumpin' for muah!

2007?!!!

September 2007??!!!! I am so bad at this!! OK I am going to make an honest effort here, I am going to keep up with this blog! I mean it!

Well Mason will be 2 in May, he has a lot of teeth now. McKayla is 9 and has changed schools twice since I last wrote. We moved from Lynchburg to Williamsburg, and lived in a cute little apartment for a year. She attended DJ Montague. Last October we bought our first house and. I. love. it! She now goes to school at Matoaka, it is such a great school. Parker is working for a company called Branscome. They have been very good to us. Parker has been working for them for a year and a half and they have given him 3 raises/promotions already! We would be set for life if Parker stays there...but I just don't think he loves it, not like the Marine Corps. We'll see. I'm behind him with whatever he decides to do.

I have noticed something about myself over the last few years. I love to love new things, and when I say things, I mean activities. I am constantly finding something new that interests me and I want to learn as much as I can about it and make it a business. But I get bored with it before I ever learn a whole lot about it. But usually not before I spend money on whatever activity or project I'm interested at the moment. Lately, I have been really into Photography. I really hope this one lasts. I really like the idea of having my own photography business.

A couple days ago I took Mason to Colonial Williamsburg and took some pictures. I am really happy with how they turned out. I can see some improvement. I still have some blow outs and hot spots, but I haven't read the chapter on white balance yet in my book. So for now I think I'm excused.
