I know it has been a while but the first part of this year has been crazy and has FLOWN by! Slowly but surely I am hoping to bring things up to date.<br /><br />Here are some pictures from Collin's birthday party back in March. We had his party the day before we left for LA and I feel like the whole thing was kind of overshadowed by our impending trip. We had his party at Pump It Up and everyone had a great time!<br /><br /><div align="center">Collin patiently waiting for the party to begin.<br /></div><div align="center"> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342367856275310274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrR5a7PirDtpse-Kv1KAKNHmOL-mRo7TaDdi_WotENpnNG2WfD_b-GEEdzRtF-0EfMHSNWOGFTKO28UzN5vlZ9p_KHYZ-4alpMUDyU3PKDfk2bgjHswB5lNtSvbslodPsjF7A8XX6WgRzu/s320/IMG_0343.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342367845567348178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTjZDGhuBBpXUmXGxsRENaGi6CxBLTxWxURpqCLcTji1KjIibKpKoCf96pfqbp-g-eB5j7QW0FThMzdDN67ovGFQMS9nhpJFAR1P20fOGTGEZFc9cD7rLHVrpUkPZZv8SMTrEcuoahlJod/s320/IMG_0338.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"><br />His awesome Mystery Machine cake!

We have felt your prayers and have truly been overwhelmed by your outpouring of love. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. We love you all!<br /><br />I am back at the hotel after a very long day and was able to see Jay before I left for a little while. He said that he had a "wicked headache" and was having some nausea but all things considered I think he looked great. When I called to check on him once I got back to the room the nurse said he was sleeping so I am hoping that he is able to get some rest tonight.<br /><br />The boys and I are holding up well. I know they are ready to see their Daddy and hopefully they can go see him once he is out of ICU either tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning. I will head back up to the hospital tomorrow morning and let Karrie know how Jay is doing so that she can continue to keep everyone updated on her blog. Please continue to pray for Jay as he continues to heal and recover. We are hoping for a quick recovery with no complications and we are glad to have this part behind us.<br /><br />Thank you again for your love and support and for all of the kind thoughts and words. You have no idea what it has meant to us. Again, we are so blessed! Love to you all!Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030432064257589884noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669495115167484887.post-44301464226365004942009-02-20T14:10:00.003-06:002009-02-20T14:24:33.572-06:00Student of the MonthBrady was awarded a Student of the Month award for the month of November and was presented an award certificate at this month's PTA meeting.

I never really thought of myself as a "quirky" person but after thinking about it (and getting A LOT of input from Jay) I was able to come up with a pretty impressive list. (I do have to say that after looking at my list there <em>may</em> be a fine line between "quirky" and just plain old "crazy neurotic".)<br /><br /><br />Anyhoo, here goes......<br /><br /><br />1. I IRON EVERY DAY! I will iron the boys clothes even if I know we are just staying home for the day. Why? I don't know. I like the look of nicely pressed clothes. I may go out with my hair a mess and no make-up on but my clothes WILL be ironed. Even t-shirts! I do not, however, iron my bras and panties. Or sheets. That would just be crazy!<br /><br />2. I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE MAIL FIRST. It seriously drives me nuts if Jay gets to the mail before me! I want to see it first. Don't even get me started about if we are leaving to go somewhere and I get the mail before I get in the car and have it sitting in my lap while I put my seat belt on and Jay starts rifling through it while it is on my lap!! OH. NO. HE. DIDN'T.<br /><br />3. I CAN USE A ROLL OF TOILET PAPER IN ONE DAY. In my defense, I think that this quirk may be genetic seeing as to how both of my sisters have the same problem. We Nance girls just like our TP. It has been the topic of discussions among the husbands at many family gatherings. My Dad tried to put us on a "3 square limit" once because we went through so much toilet paper at our house! I will at least flush the toilet, unlike another unnamed sibling, which as you can imagine can cause some problems when you use as much paper as I do. Just ask Jay how many Hotel toilets I have clogged with TP! It is quite embarrassing.<br /><br />4. I HAVE TO GET UP AT LEAST 3 TIMES BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP TO MAKE SURE THE FRONT DOOR IS LOCKED AND THAT THE SIDE RAIL IS UP ON LOGAN'S CRIB. This may also be genetic after reading Lisa's list (or maybe OCD is what's genetic?). It is frustrating though because I have to get up and check even though I know that I just checked 5 minutes ago and everything was fine. What is that all about?<br /><br />5. IF I EAT SOMETHING SALTY, I HAVE TO EAT SOMETHING SWEET AND VISE VERSA. This one baffles Jay. I see it more as some kind of nutritional principle than I do a quirk. Can you see how this can become a vicious cycle? The only way to break the cycle is to eat something that is salty AND sweet( i.e. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Candy Corn mixed with peanuts, etc..).<br /><br />6. I DO NOT LIKE BUFFETS OR ALL YOU CAN EAT PLACES. This one baffles even me. I don't know why I don't like them. Maybe it is the thought of everyone fighting over a limited amount of food or the fear that I won't get enough to eat but these places make we nervous and edgy and I avoid them when at all possible.<br /><br /><br /><br />The list could go on and on but I will stop there for the fear of everyone thinking that I really do need professional help (if you weren't already convinced). I now tag Jennifer O., Tammie, Jenna, Jennifer M., Tami, and Charis. Have fun girls!!!!<br /><br />Here are the rules: Link the person who tagged you. Mention rules on your blog .Tell about 6 quirks of yours. Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same.

I can not believe my baby is two years old already! He has been such a joy to watch grow up the past 2 years! He LOVES his big brothers and most days they love him too! He is really starting to talk so well and is just growing up way too fast! I don't have any pictures to post today but I just wanted to wish my baby boy a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We love you little buddy!<br /><br />I will post pictures from Logan's birthday party this weekend after it is all said and done! Until then love to all!Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030432064257589884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669495115167484887.post-29727080675272257632008-09-03T13:09:00.005-05:002008-09-03T13:25:24.890-05:00Collin's First Day Back to PreschoolYesterday was Collin's first day back to preschool. He really was not looking forward to going and he cried when I dropped him off but he really ended up having a great day! He has the same WONDERFUL teachers from last year and a lot of the same classmates so I think that made it a little easier for him! When I picked him up and asked him if he had fun at school he said "Yes!" so I am happy with that!<br /><br />Here are a few pictures taken before we left for school.<br /><br /><div align="center">What a face!

I started my day with a prayer asking God to give me strength to make it through the next few hours. My goal was not to cry in front of Brady! I knew that if he did okay them I would too so I asked God for strength and courage for Brady too! My prayers were definitely answered. Brady did great! I could not be more proud of him! He went in with no problems and was excited to start his new adventure! How can he be a kindergartener already? It does not seem possible but here we are. I held up pretty well and managed not to tear up until we left Brady's classroom. I did fine until we got in the car and Collin said, "I am going to miss Brady today!" and then the tears started. "Me too!" was all I could say.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Brady before school!

He really seemed to enjoy it and even wanted to come home and play school! I could not be happier! After we picked him up Jay and I were asking him about what all he did at school. Jay asked him if his teacher was nice and he said, "Yes, and she looks pretty too!" We laughed so hard over that. We also asked him if he wanted to go back again and he said "Yes!" so we are thrilled! Another bittersweet day gone by!<br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030432064257589884noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669495115167484887.post-66139412680720836512008-08-13T15:31:00.001-05:002008-08-13T15:31:50.411-05:00Atlanta Vacation Pictures<div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w520.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w520.photobucket.com/albums/w328/laurieisler/d1c1a214.pbw" height="360" width="480"><a href="http://i520.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&landing=/slideshows&type=8" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w328/laurieisler/?action=view¤t=d1c1a214.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a></div>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030432064257589884noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669495115167484887.post-36408056595460454272008-08-13T15:30:00.001-05:002008-08-13T15:30:45.840-05:00Nashville Vacation Pictures<div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w520.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w520.photobucket.com/albums/w328/laurieisler/ec89b0c7.pbw" height="360" width="480"><a href="http://i520.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&landing=/slideshows&type=8" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://s520.photobucket.com/albums/w328/laurieisler/?action=view¤t=ec89b0c7.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a></div>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030432064257589884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669495115167484887.post-20516999167937494502008-08-08T18:52:00.002-05:002008-08-08T18:55:20.390-05:00Vacation PicturesI am sorry that it has taken me so long to post vacation pictures. There are just so many of them! I am just posting pictures and I am posting then in a slide show format to keep the posts from being so long. This first bunch is from Memphis and Chattanooga. Hopefully I will have Atlanta and Nashville ready to post soon!

Long story short, I need my own digital camera!! Sorry for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">disappointing</span> all of you who have been anxiously awaiting a post (which I am sure only includes Mom, Lisa and Karrie).<br /><br />We are really having a great time so far! Everything is so pretty up this way! So green and lush! I love it! We are in Atlanta, Georgia right now. We are going to Six Flags over Georgia today and the boys of course are so excited. Jay was propositioned by a hooker last night but that is another story for another day....Other than that Atlanta has been great! We will be heading back up to Nashville <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tomorrow</span> for a few days before heading back home!<br /><br />We love and miss you all and look forward to seeing you all soon!Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030432064257589884noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669495115167484887.post-41943317602044091872008-07-17T16:23:00.004-05:002008-07-17T16:57:05.061-05:00It's Vacation Time!!!!!<div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Two new tires for minivan: $378</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">A Full Tank of Gas: $70</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Gettin' the heck out of Dodge: Priceless!!!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><br /><br />Tomorrow we leave for our much anticipated family vacation to Tennessee. I am so excited! I am SOOOO ready for a change of scenery. Am I looking forward to 8+ hours in the car? Not so much, but I have downloaded an audio book on to my iPod and have my Nintendo DS lite charged and <em>Super Mario Bros.</em> and <em>Guitar Hero:On Tour</em> ready to go when boredom takes over. We are driving to Memphis tomorrow where we will stay overnight before heading to Chattanooga. Jay has a plan of leaving at 5:00 a.m. (Yikes! I know) but we will see what time we actually get off.......I am taking the laptop and have good intentions of blogging along the way so hopefully I can keep you up to date on our adventure. Please pray for our safety as we travel as well as for our sanity. Those of you who have ever traveled with kiddo's can totally understand the second part to that prayer request!!</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><br /><br />Well, I am off to go finish packing.....until next time (Memphis hopefully) love to all!!!!</div>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030432064257589884noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669495115167484887.post-31914705317923989542008-05-05T21:57:00.002-05:002008-05-05T22:39:55.664-05:00Happy 5th Birthday Brady!Today is Brady's 5th birthday! I can not believe that my first born son is five years old already! How can it be? I unfortunately do not have any new pictures to post but in honor of his 5th birthday I am going to post 5 things that I believe make Brady special!<br /><br />1. Brady is such a funny kid! He seriously makes me laugh everyday with something that he says or some little silly antic that he comes up with! He is always on the move and there is never a dull moment when Brady is around!<br /><br />2. Brady is wicked smart! I know that you are probably thinking that I am a little biased, but seriously, Brady is so smart! I am amazed at some of the things that he comes up with and how much he is able to remember and comprehend. He can see or hear something one time and it sticks with him! He amazes me!<br /><br />3. Brady has never met a stranger! I sometimes do not know if this is a good or bad characteristic. He will talk to anyone that will listen to him and talk back! He is so friendly and eager to make new friends. Here is an example of a typical conversation that he might strike up with someone new we come into contact with:<br /><br /><em> "Hi! My name is Brady and this is my brother Collin and my brother Logan. Logan is such a toot! He likes to get in our toilets....."</em><br /><em></em><br />He really is too funny! <br /><br />4. Brady is a wonderful big brother! I love to watch him interact with Collin and Logan! He is always so willing to show them "the ropes" and it is obvious that he loves his little brothers very much! I love it when they first get up in the morning because the first thing they do on most mornings is hug each other! Too sweet!<br /><br />5. Brady is very sentimental even at such a young age! He seriously is already a pack rat! He does not want to throw ANYTHING away! I have to wait until he is not around to throw things out or he will have an absolute fit! He has been known to dig stuff out of the trash/recycle bin if he discovers something he wants that I have thrown out! It can be frustrating! I mean seriously, how many plastic Sunny Delight bottles does one kid need????<br /><br />I could go on and on but I will stop there! I can't even begin to explain the absolute joy that Brady has brought into our lives over the past 5 years! I look forward to watching him grow and mature into the precious special young man that I know he will one day be! We love you very much Brady Boy! Happy Birthday!!<br /><br />I will post pictures from Brady's birthday party this weekend when it is all said and done! Until then, love to you all!<br /><br /><br /><br /><em></em>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030432064257589884noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669495115167484887.post-60534021763439035962008-05-01T10:16:00.008-05:002008-05-01T11:01:54.237-05:00Cedar Hill State ParkYesterday we decided to take a family outing to Cedar Hill State Park. I had never been even though I grew up in Midlothian and have lived in the area most of my life so we decided to check it out. It was such a beautiful day (a little windy, but beautiful nonetheless) and the afternoon was perfect! The boys really enjoyed seeing the lake and playing at one of play areas. I highly recommend making the trip out there if you have never been! It is definitely worth it.<br /><br />Below are some of the pictures from the day! I know there are a lot of them but I think we really got some good ones of all the boys! Enjoy!!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195435267073657554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMnNeTBTRFjNbIlMJPPaFzHPypZFNE4LYeGj1bOGbNstpRoY7SHtb84ZWxCmxtXfQfjE9AxgBVyQrKVuvixmbqr5eDe3AbabR9CNhQ7bnzTY8jTtL59_GabHHD-8NuJL1w9sciTiMdkhZQ/s320/CHSPBrady4.jpg" border="0" /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe3snuszwkPJzO16cDp0S-p6FvPeFPRmyldgfnnNmaYnCQqFbN_l20wdSgmt2DJb6ENEcmMNbBTScWhRpaay3LtDzDlrv91CAo5Tqihti4-MQ029vCZeXF5SRqWu9N3_PxCsHzK33dZtmh/s1600-h/CHSPCollin5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195435284253526754" style="DISPLAY: block;

I am a bloggin' fool these days! Okay, maybe not, but I am getting better! I told you all I was going to try and take more pictures so more pictures equals more blogging!<br /><br />Not too much has been going on around our house lately. We have all really been enjoying the warmer weather! I wouldn't say we we are ready for summer yet, but the warm sunny days have been nice. The boys absolutely love playing outside so we have been taking advantage of the nice weather! We let the boys play in the water for the first time yesterday and they of course had a blast. It seemed a little cool to me but they did not seem to mind!<br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193360372667926802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5rxBw_PJH_EaBQ4MTJKepZ2DDL45DNu7NRR9pNjnDVUG9BAab4kaFbXH5ZGWDZxXwkalVvJOd1PLhy9HdjPeoexjq9rQbN4BiwbkMY1PgtmHqc-3BCdwLLO8ZK85E6wdkPjvpW2aZS4j_/s320/bradycollinwater.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193360381257861410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaib-t-FX-XZ7E8-DKG7pfCUsA7eDKaSMibaap5fnqWfrktu-iQtxP37gOLMHxMfbjoy2215BTQK9y83JRB_jRdkCnTfORR_pUzqO6qdAq5MRD0ilogYt7SYINS-yRo-En9Eqb-4lr2Obp/s320/bradycollinwater1.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193360385552828722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcXH_dQQpbeALuDAKGG3AJsKbreqzRzdt9ABwaJ4qv9w3B8YbQhLVrKcR9iFqCRliBHQ9gW95QAu2FjqhfQjAalZoeIdzk7Lly9LEgbEWPKTgZI408V544tIeJWVqcqse0mEkAAjC-E0nm/s320/bradyinwater.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193360389847796034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2X3YzzvsmQcxtlM7YMfptMaV3PiMDaJWkJyfRRMyVG0v9iYSr9O9LIk-GYvLxd_U3niuvYO2cGzrtq7Xinlw9AUDatpALRMO12iIM1QBESiyKtGmQ-8CQi_A9JPt4eDOa4IhoemlbMFPW/s320/bradyinwater1.jpg" border="0" /> These next two pictures are of Brady and Collin "washing" my van!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193359887336622322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOYFm1m7yU8XIggteCIJzOgBPmexMOowO9WZHYwLLzoL0yzaZlgzJ86JN2DdB_6FclYwydFisc93WUfLiMGebVgrJitU7EUyEnVoLl0CRkZiob0Cg86PoLKrPiAZmtovC_EYuY5M6es-1g/s320/bradywashcar.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193359891631589634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoM_pKIrapQGsTmTi_nFnW9Kc1OXu_Gy3LaArOOP-reZQAdFLPvtlEYK9WbQZ9L39DM86eVGZKCONYKAwoCT3h198xCJk9IynbEmHFgf0DYjpCKyTsZOtxeLYW0i0CS9csdudlNCnWcTwA/s320/collinwashcar.jpg" border="0" /> Is a normal smile too much to ask for???<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193359569509042370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0TQo8qU8aDhyj-HZc16-g7Oh5uNzlFufYBp_I8mW4aYEbhpseXlXBdw0w0SjqpTkQ54DtzHLa72nMNSC04gFeJEyUlAoBgvqstKycq5_bGhSH8ayh1xyUhWFsYJrXM0NUgwCsXi6Ukwd/s320/collininwater.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193359573804009682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimjAT1ZJCTm07XMt83Ot-21dV1RX9R1of2QPsaikxtSS8j8lde-BlOalVtb2GJbyEtPzXGco_zo480MJc9Pgxz4lEwwjoETqFnRoTLxPZ2KRFcWT614I2jVnelRcoEvD_riUcWVeSAFFpM/s320/COLLININWATER1.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193359590983878882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv50iKYJp3tj9YQMfM5_YLVZn9gAV_P5y_keyA1LqA0WjZGWuPlZMhcXKVDkxNZHfIVSIvKTXBSEw_GSipVm_Y0i5pl_YWlMiO4v6PXOx4Bx8l2SPq4PKhs8xsNE7soYvvu8FLD7iziwM2/s320/collininwater2.jpg" border="0" /> Logan was pretty funny.

It was all over his clothes, arms, hands, face, and even in his hair! I could not figure out what in the world it was until I discovered the open jar of Vaseline in the living room! He had found it under one of the bathroom cabinets and decided it looked like fun I guess. It was such a mess! I don't know if you know how hard Vaseline is to get out of hair but trust me when I say it ain't easy! (Don't ask me how I know this because it is a long story aka "The Halloween Incident of 1986"). Anyhoo, I had to snap a picture of him before we cleaned him up and believe me when I say the picture does not truly show how messy he was! I guess it is time to put the child-proof locks on the cabinets.......<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193358332558461042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiez7HQ0ZUjWIF25JtIpcYkogp1il5_2hu8DRE3uEdz3Q13hZrw5-SL_1WxsiAXAktAV5SU4v-6ELHtiPWCMT8yzpB8k5bbSBUhOZsMdmFSn9Y9_gsdLsGk0BpbMlPT5orYMoBuUyt-yccA/s320/loganvaseline.jpg" border="0" />These next pictures are from another afternoon this week playing outside.

I was really excited to go and hear what to expect his first year of school and meet the teachers, etc. What I was not prepared for was how emotional I was the whole time we were there! Seriously, there were several times that my eyes would just fill up with tears and I had to fight the urge to cry! I got so sad thinking of my baby going to school! Is this normal behavior? Someone please re-assure me that it is! I guess it just really made it "real" for me that he is a big boy now! He, however, had a great time. He loved seeing the classrooms and all of the books in the library so that did make me feel a little better! We will see how he does on the first day of school! They told us that we should not cry when we leave our firstborn children in the hands of complete strangers on the first day of school, that we need to leave on a positive note....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! I couldn't make it through the orientation! I have a lot of praying to do between now and August!! Until next time, love to you all!!!</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030432064257589884noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669495115167484887.post-43801642614602489882008-04-15T14:49:00.010-05:002008-04-15T15:14:38.151-05:00March MadnessI will warn you that this is going to be a long post. Since I am so behind on my blogging (big shocker, I know) I am just going to do a mass blog including all of the March happenings since my last post. Since there are so many pictures I am going to try and keep my commentary to a minimum. Enjoy!!!!<br /><br /><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><strong>Collin's Birthday Party</strong></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left">Collin decided to have a "Thomas the Train" party. Here are a couple of pictures of the cake my wonderful sister-in-law made for him. Isn't it AWESOME?

It was hotter than Hades with 1000% humidity inside the exhibit and you could not take strollers inside so I was having to hold Logan, the camera, my diaper bag AND try to keep Collin from stomping on any butterflies that decided to land on the ground in front of him! Needless to say, I was a big sweaty mess by the time we left the exhibit! Good times!!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189537594374807538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2usSkXJ8TuozITz94109Fd5MLyZH7Ca0bqKFk6pw6JszC5x5ixzgpxdC916sDQeod7x74g-pu0z5pLAA0ISbEdKG8sVYfCZNJ2tdmz0cVfIkb_pPds-ebujdNeMJyns7hzUv1LQPm3vRw/s320/groupgardens.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189537083273699282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJaL5a8dLMx9Ckxj6sBM9nFuI6pBZ4SG-ueF_R215GSJpdkn7lgK8LPPJ-QxocVfsg0g_BDkds0GNVb4uyGjipJvFzrUlS7GyoMKk9MziOa-Exw89auKRnLedF-rAaOOBMfV9NiBo9_3F-/s320/logangardens.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189537091863633890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg0P50M5_EKRVrCmzgdr0s0FmRsM8NOLVwf7KsYFfs0mFxHF9STC2h4aJita6wKeN_TdmKMsbZP3u3a695mXS_dIP_M-e8p70bihL38ZVTyJfAtoGKGdVw0uUPzNJIzWgO5mRjqUBgvjlV/s320/logangardens1.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189536426143702930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2lBguvVB-TO6Wy9wfCrGz72wt8t1mr1WXTRxUU0ipljeuaJNiZqxvOndDS5Ia0x1kzQi6T3icFaI0nu2t0COB8h5SWroTwpdvh9E4jE8tmJzIjFFkbAknnc6UG1IWAPoup9aBCJk3O2f/s320/bradygardens.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189536447618539426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivICLNEine3ufGMfvqlnbynGZOuQfyDapSR63V9oL0JYkfEdyM_5MPN-JJYg-lbSX7hgUhHaJbdEfWTHQKwu-D9-GWYhdExuL2Pm88QkEEFHpcM_JcWjJ1_GQaj54OfftRwhKWrvAzNjdL/s320/bradygardens1.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189536456208474034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Nu4s1soNTGN2pKnVfcVtWkt1aePXQCg0Zb_KH-dY9M1TS0bq2CjPxNQforzcAjWx_G_zIDioY-gvxAeMY-vMduFj6mmdBQ8hyf5hWYOSA3Si2Kw7pN2w4I-6oMaNfMFZdfYZcnnxq8KT/s320/collingardens.jpg" border="0" />You may notice that there are not many pictures of Collin from this trip. Homeboy will not look at the camera to save his life! Seriously, if I did not know any better I would think that he was part of the witness protection program trying to keep his real identity from being revealed!
