The Driving Range

We were able to have another evening of family fun by heading out to the driving range tonight after dinner. It was a first time experience for me and Eli, although I think he looks like a pro.

It started out lots of fun, but the man beside me decided to give me "tips." I know he was trying to be nice, but clearly I was out with my husband and son, not golfing in the stinking PGA tournament.

Poor Eli got a massive blisters from trying to golf as a lefty while using right handed clubs! He also decided that throwing the balls was more fun than driving them. Have you ever tried to convince a two year old of something...ha! Luckily, I improved my game a little. I'd call that a successful night.

So I saved the best part of this outing for last because it was one of my finer moments in life. When we got to the driving range, I got out of the van and could tell immediately that my crotch up wringing wet. We didn't have any drinks in the car, and Aunt Flow is expected any day now, so I panicked thinking I was unprepared for my monthly visitor.

Well, no sooner had I had that thought, when something large and slimy fell off my shorts. Ya'll I about passed out right there in the parking lot because I just knew I was dying. Finally, I brought myself to look, and low and behold...it was a banana.

That's right, I had unknowingly sat on a banana thus squishing it all over my lower half, the seat, and now the parking lot. I just burst out laughing and couldn't stop. By the grace of God my gym bag was still in the car, so after a quick wardrobe change, I was ready to go!!

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

Mother's Day Memories

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. I want to start by saying that my heart and prayers go out to the "Mommies in Waiting" and to those who are missing their Momma on this special day. You are not forgotten. We started Mother's Day at church with our crew, and we were lucky enough to be in the nursery. We let Eli tag along, and he helped facility "Derby Races" around the table while the kids were on riding toys. It was a hoot! We also made cards for the mommies. We had some leftovers at home for lunch and then I spent some time laying out while Eric worked on the pool. It was almost 90 degrees and the perfect way to relax on my special day! Eric made me a shrimp boil for dinner, and we took a family trip to Dairy Queen. They also have presents coming later this week for me. Basically, they are awesome!

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
