Randoms

Long time no type...ha! My heart did a little happy dance when I hit "new post." I took a little blogging hiatus to deal with some issue of depression I was having, but the Lord has relieved me of that burden and I can't help but be giddy with this new found peace...PRAISE HIM.

Otherwise, we have been hanging out at home playing ball with Eli, swimming, and visiting family. I'm in high "Dave Ramsey" gear, which I'm sure you will hear (read) more about during the next few months. Oh, and I'm on a semi-health kick. Other than that sleep is okay and everything else is same ole/ same ole!

Our summer started off with a bang...literally! My dad was electrocuted and fell out of a tree. I think he broke virtually every bone in his body..ha! No really, it was bad but could have been much worse. I'll share more on that later, but until then we are praising God for protecting my dad!


You can expect lots of posts from me this month because we have a lot of exciting things going on here are some of the things I am looking forward to this month.

1. Church Softball
2. Hot Rods Baseball
3. Brooke's Wedding
4. Play Dates
5. Beech Bend Park
6. Clay's Birthday
7. Father's Day
8. My Birthday
9. Ice Cream And A MOOVIE
10. Back Porch Make-Over
11. Emily's Birthday
12. Sarah's Birthday

Be still be heart!! I love summer!!

On a final and completely random note, I want a blog make-over. The design I have is lovely (thank you hubby) but it reminds me of the difficult season I just came through. I want to put it all behind me, and I want something bright and upbeat to symbolize the joy in my heart!!

Ok, more to come on my dad and Memorial day weekend. Until then, here is me and my boy!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports?  Ha!  I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested.   The thing is, he doesn't discriminate.  Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube.   We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats,"  John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers,  "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops!  That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break?  Not this boy! I never thought ...

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...
