Happy 15th Birthday Tori-Girl

More pics to come later!

Ugh

I won’t say it was the flu… but that cold I had last week was a whopper and a half. I’m better now, but still cannot believe how miserable that was. ICKY.

Still cracking up that e brought me home some flowers. They were ‘Get well soon, or you are going to the doctor flowers’ according to him.

Our exciting news of the day… of the week… of the year?!! We found a litter of lab puppies locally. I talked to the owner for a while last night and we get pick of the litter. Right now from photos we’re wavering between a darker yellow BIG boy of the litter or a smaller while female. Guess we’ll see how the personalities are when we get to meet them. Until then we’re working on a list of dog names so we can all find one to agree on. I’m not above buying my votes.

Just saying…

 

A no-school kinda day

Tori went early birthday shopping with her Gamma. I worked for a couple
of hours while boys played games and worked on Tommy’s RipStik skills. After lunch the boys and I headed to Foley for a few errands. Boys scored free donuts for their straight As on report cards.

They were beyond happy to find some SkyLander Characters they’ve been hunting.

We then headed on down to Gulf Shores for a quick beach visit.

Happy Trails to you

We managed to get the kids out for about a 5 mile trek today down at the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail in Orange Beach. We haven’t been since the wildfire back in June of 2011. It was a gorgeous day to get the kids out and about.

Pinewood Derby Race 2012

Tommy came in 8th place overall and was in 1st place for two of his four heats.

That night we had super yummy homemade pizza.

Tommy even helped make kettle corn on the stovetop. Mmmmmmmm.

I love that he goes for his morning walk and brings me back flowers.

I love my Kindle…but it can’t do this…

Boys at the workbench… makes me smile on a Monday Morning
