I"M A SLACKER

Yes, I have been so bad at my blog lately and it is all for good reason. I have been really busy with life in general and I have re-prioritized my life and the computer comes last. If you have e-mailed me & I have not responded, don't be mad I will get back to you. Don't give up on me I will be back with some current post- I promise.

-EG out-

First Day of School

Back into the swing of things. Yesterday was the official day. Mom's a day late on posting. Dylan headed off to school like a champ. Let me just say there were many not so happy little campers and he just stood tall and full of smiles. The photo below will show that. He is going full-time this year which means he stays for lunch and he was so excited and loves his scooby doo lunch box. He did so good and was pretty pooped by the end of the day. He really seems happy, which makes a happy Mamma & Daddy. It's all good.

picture is not so great but doesn't change the fact he is a handsome little man

That's my boy on prayer & pledge line full of goodbye smiles & waves
my little school dude

Hopefully all the first days of school ahead are all this smooth..... I can dream can't I?

Oh So Sweet Sunday

After church we loaded up in the car and Jeff says "Dylan where should we go"? Dylan replies "paradise bakery (for those who know Dylan he loves soup) some yummy soup sounds good to me". Dylan says "Mom that sounds like a good idea right"? So yes you guessed it off to the bakery we head. He loves their fire roasted tomato soup and pasta salad. We enjoyed our lunch, laughed and just cherished each other's company and now it was time to move on. Dylan stops at the door and says "can I throw a penny and make a wish"? I give him 3 pennies to throw into the fountain out front to make 3 special wishes. So this is where the sweet part comes in. He has not fully grasped the concept that he is suppose to keep his wish a secret and therefore Jeff & I try to play like we are not paying attention but it is just way to precious to pass up and so it goes like this. He throws the penny and folds his hands like he is praying and says " God I wish that you could help my Daddy get a good job", my heart melts as it has been quite tough the past couple years. I hand over penny #2, he throws the penny into the fountain and says "God please let us have a baby", my heart double melts as I continue to battle 2nd stage infertility. I hand over penny #3 he throws it into the fountain and says "I wish that I could have a big 4x4 truck to drive, my heart melts a little more. As we drove home I just really thought to myself with happy/sad tears hidden behind my eyeballs gosh how sweet of his little mind. He made sure to include a wish for each of us. Does he see the full picture already at only 4 1/2 yrs old? Family has always been important to me and as I grow older it becomes more & more important to me. I love him to pieces and he is my world. So having said that I only hope that his sweet little heart ALWAYS has a place for us. This is a moment I will cherish forever!

Fun Times w/Good Friends

Over the weekend we shared some fun time with friends. Our neighbors/walking buddies who moved away had us over for dinner. We had a wonderful ham dinner that was delicious and yummy oreo cookie cheese cake for dessert. Dylan & Aaron are a year apart and miss the dickens out of each other. The boys had so much fun playing together. We spent the night and spent most of Saturday at the park which is just one house away from their home. Dylan LOVED Aaron's john deere truck and we all had a blast with the water gun soakers. Let's just say no body left the park dry that day. Thank you so much Aaron, Deb & Aaron for the wonderful time. Your house is beautiful and cozy and your cooking was out of this world. We look forward to our next gathering. We miss you guys so much!

Super soaker time

Water boys- on a mission to get more water for their guns.

Dylan "thinks" Santa Claus is going to bring him one of these. Well at least that is what he is hoping for. Little does he know Santa is broke, nothing wrong with dreaming I told him.
