Where does the time go...

Where does the time go? It sure seems to be going faster the older that I get. We have been super busy this whole year. However, so far, this has been a good year for us and we are so thankful for that. 

Here is a small update on us...

Brad is doing good. He works his regular job while also running his woodworking business on the side. That pretty much keeps him busy.

As for me, I'm busy running kids to games, homeschooling two of my sweet peas, babysitting my little buddy Stetson during the week, trying to keep up with my pets, my house, and all the people that I love and they are for sure keeping me BUSY. When I get time, I'll try to go back and update (with pictures) some of the highlights of the last few months. 

Zach, turned 16 in August but he hasn't been very interested in driving yet. I told him yesterday that we need to start working on getting his license. He is now an 11th grader! I can't believe how close he is to being finished with school. He still attends our local high school and is doing great! 

Blaze, is doing good too. He keeps me on my toes. We never have a dull moment with him around. Health wise Blaze is doing really good right now. We started an additional medication after his last admission and so far its working like a charm. He is home with me now so he seems to be staying well more. He is already counting down the days to Christmas. He loves calendars and dates and loves counting down to everything. 

Ada is doing great as well. She is in the 7th this year at our local public school. She is the busiest child this year with sports, clubs, etc. However, she did take a fall last week at her volleyball game and fractured her wrist so she is out for the season but you will still find her at every game cheering on her team. She is your typical preteen with a little sass and whole lot of sweetness. 

Miss Layla, is my side kick. She is wherever I am. She is homeschooling again this year and she is doing GREAT! She amazes me how much better she is doing now that she is home. She is my quiet and calm kid which is usually rare for the youngest kid. I am blessed! She is a sweetheart. 

Then we have two rotten dogs and two rotten kittens. Yes, you read that right. TWO kittens. I rescued them and ended up keeping them. I've never been a cat person. I've always just had dogs. But, these two kittens have been so much fun and actually so much easier than my dogs. 

Well, that's about all for now. Happy Fall Y'all! 

Ada's last game..

I've got to give a big shout out to my Ada girl! This girl showed up and showed out today and made her mama VERY proud! I'm sad to see this season end. Ada has grown so much in this sport thanks to UPWARD. This was her last year with UPWARD because she ages out. She has had a great time playing and I've had a great time cheering her on. Way to Go Ada Grace! I'm so proud of you!

Happy Birthday Blazer...

I want to take a minute and wish my Blaze a happy birthday! Happy Birthday Blazer! I hope that you have enjoyed your special day. I can't even put in words what you mean to me Son. You have truly changed my life for the better and I am so thankful that I get to be your mom. I love you bigger than the sky! I wish everyone had a Blaze like mine. This kid never has a bad day. Even when he does, he never lets it show. He is always HAPPY! Thank you God for giving me this child. He truly is a gift!

This kid is a miracle!

God has given him a testimony.

God has done great things in his life.

I'm so blessed to be his mama.

Meme's Brag Book for January...

Just wanted to share some of the highlights of this month. These babies give me so much to be proud of. They truly are some awesome kids! Here are a few of my favorite moments. 

Carter tried out and made his school baseball team! Way to go Carter!

Poor Noa Reeve broke her leg on Jan 1st but she has been one super brave girl and has handled it so well. Meme is so proud of her! Just a few more days and that cast will be gone! Keep being tough sweet girl!

My little Hayden turned 8 on the 6th!  Happy birthday sweet boy! I hope that you got everything that you asked for and more. I love you bigger than the sky!

Happy sweet 16th to my Brookelyn Shae! I can't believe my baby girl is almost grown. She was the first to call me "meme" and will forever hold a special place in my heart. She will always be #1 to me.

My B-Shae got her driver's license!

Be safe sweet girl. 

Look twice before pulling out.

Always wear your seat belt.

No texting while driving.

Always leave early so that you don't have to rush.

Always drive safely.

Happy big 13th to this princess baby!!! 13...How in the world can it possibly be? I hope that you had a fabulous birthday sweet girl!  I love you bunches!

My not so little Justin went to his first middle school dance! Ain't he a cutie pie?!? This boy is a meme's boy.  I love this kid!

Blaze got mail...

What a SWEET and exciting surprise! Blaze got a package from his buddy Cindy. They have been running buddies since Blaze was about 2 years old (before Blaze could even walk) and part of the IRun4 group. As you can tell, Blaze was so excited to get mail from his buddy today! I wish I would have recorded him. Ms. Cindy has truly been a blessing in Blaze's life and mine.

My sweet babies...

Basketball Season Is Here...

#15 is mine!

This kid loves playing basketball. 

I think that this is his 7th year.

Ada's Basketball Season Is Off To A Great Start...

I love how they start every game with prayer.
