Manic Monday

Summer is officially over and we are in back to school mood. The kids are trying to adjust to 6:30am wake ups, We are just about back to our "normal" routine. (whatever that might be) Sara is loving Pre-K and Evan is enjoying his new classroom and teacher.

I have started on a new journey and set a goal for myself. I am working on running a 5k. Someone is encouraging me to run more (Amber)  so I can be their running partner. I am running my first 5k as an adult in September. I am going to see how that goes and before I decide if I want to run anymore than that distance. I'm thrilled to be running after a major foot surgery in December.

Chad is settling good in the new job! He was able to meet all the players and parents tonight. I am exited for him and to see how the upcoming baseball season will go!

Keep Sara in your thoughts next week, she will be having her eye surgery. They are correcting her lazy eyes. The plan is to correct it and hopefully be able to get her out of her glasses.

Hope this week flies by. Today was really long for some reason.

Sara learned to write her name this week!

Evan washed the table with his napkin and sweet tea

I finally hit 3.2 miles! Yay me! I will run a 5k!!!!

3rd Place and Proud!

Today was the annual Georgia State Duck Call Contest. Chad participated for his second year in a row. He did a fantastic job! He blew three great rounds! They were about as perfect as you could get. However the judges just didn't see it that way. We will be happy to take 3rd place and there is always next year. He did walk away with some great prizes. We also were able to spend the day with some great friends! He will be back next year and hope to do even better!

Chad's friend Chris (who taught him every thing he knows) also participated today. He did a great job as well! Notice they were matchers!

Ducks Unlimited Yeti Cooler! One of his prizes :)

Afterwards eating some lunch!



While the judging was questionable Chad did a fantastic job! Can't wait to see how next year goes!

Many more to come!

On July 29, 2006 Chad and I begin our life as a married couple! After dating for six years we said "I do" and begin our journey together. The past six years have flown by. We have welcomed two beautiful children into our lives. We live a crazy chaotic life but I would not change anything! I love you and can't wait to spend more years together! Happy Anniversary!

A New Journey

So if you have not heard or seen it on Facebook Chad has accepted a new job! He is now the head baseball coach of Jackson High School! The school is right down the road so we can stay in our  home and I can continue working at my current job.

The past 4 years have been fantastic at Alcovy High School! We have made some really great friends and it will be hard not to be around for the baseball season. I will miss my baseball buddies and the great times we always have.

We are looking forward to our new adventure and I am super proud of Chad. I think he will do a great job! Wish us luck on our new journey!

Go Red Devils!

Summer

I realized today how long it has been since I have posted anything. We are over halfway through our summer break and it has been a fun and busy one!

We started off the summer with an adult only trip to the beach with 15 of our closest friends. This was the first time that Chad and I have left the kids behind to go on a trip. We headed down to the beach for a week. We had a fantastic time!

My sweet Sara then had to have surgery. Sara had one of the two surgeries she will be needing. She had tubes in her ears and adenoids removed.  After a quick recovery she is back to normal. She will be having her second surgery on her eyes on August.

At the end of June one of my best friends and I got the chance to travel to New York with my step-mom. We spent 4 days hitting the streets while she was busy at work. We crammed as much sight seeing as possible. It was a great trip and we are looking forward to our next trip!

We plan on soaking up the sun at the pool for the last few weeks we have before it is back to work time. We have one more beach trip planed in September over fall break.

Weekend Wrap Up

I realized yesterday that is has been a while since I have been on here. We have been really busy over the past few weeks.  We are now officially on Summer Break. We do not have to return to back to work until July 28. (You can be jealous!)  However the summer will fly by. Sara will be having surgery and we have a couple of trips planed.

This weekend was spent in Alabama at my mom's lake house. Here are a couple of pictures.

Random Wednesday

Today is a big day! My baby and little man turns 3! I can't believe he is already 3. I sent him off to school this morning with cupcakes for his friends. We spent the afternoon pool side. We are having his party on Saturday with family.

 

We took Sara down to Emory today for her consultation with her new eye doctor. She will be having eye surgery later this summer. My wonderful dad was able to go with us and treated us to a yummy lunch at the Varsity!!

This is our new favorite show.

We have until next Friday for Summer Break. Looking forward to out adults only beach trip in a few weeks!
