open house

owen and chris at open house-

don't know why they are shaking hands??

1st day photo shoot outside my classroom!

Ryan's 1st grade room

Owen's 4th grade room

Here we go again! Summer seems to get shorter every year!! We started school on August 1st, and I've just had time to catch my breath and post our back to school pics...we've had a great start... Owen said he was excited to actually know all of the kids in his class at the beginning of the year (poor kid has been in 3 different schools and is only in 4th grade...)!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEBE!

2011-08-08T19:30:00.000-07:00

Here we go AGAIN!

photo from Waycross Journal Herald

Recently there was a front page photo and article in the local paper

about the upcoming football season. Notice the boy texting (using his dad's phone) right smack dab in the middle of the photo...

Rearranged

2011-07-21T05:46:00.000-07:00

Our living room has been arranged pretty much the same way for the past 7 years...which is kinda funny since we moved into a totally different style of home 2 years ago! It still worked, so we went with it...but lately I have been addicted to HGTV and design blogs, so I was ready for change!! Thanks to some friends (janda, heather, susan, ronnie)-we have a new arrangement!!
I'm still working on the back wall, but we are enjoying the new set up so far!

off to camp!

2011-07-19T07:36:00.001-07:00

ryan, ramsey & owen

the bag man

the super nice bus (i went to camp on a school bus!)

heading to camp!

see ya'll friday!

Owen is away at church camp this week...this will be the longest time he has been away from home...i was really nervous (he was apprehensive, too), but after talking to him last night i am no longer worried! They are having so much fun!! 6 males in a room----mass chaos!!

4th of July 2011

2011-07-14T11:01:00.001-07:00

We had a fun 4th in St. Simons! Lots of biking, fishing, sparklers, swimming, fireworks, and great food! Unfortunately, Chris had to have an emergency root canal on the actual 4th-yuck--thankfully all is well now!!

Vacation 2011

2011-06-25T14:01:00.000-07:00

We had a great week in Siesta Key, Florida! We enjoyed the beautiful beach and good food... Chris and the boys did a lot of fishing and even went parasailing!! Chris' uncle Donny and cousin Brian also came by for a visit...we are already looking forward to next year's trip!!

snow in south ga?

2011-06-16T13:07:00.001-07:00

2 o'clock haze

bits of ash in our yard

The ash from the wildfires is the closest thing to snow South GA will ever see!! Today was especially smoky and the ash was floating down all day long---crazy! We're glad to be heading out of town soon...

UGA Camp 2011

2011-06-07T15:16:00.001-07:00

This year we decided to sign Owen up for UGA's junior football camp...as a University of Georgia grad, I was so excited for him! It was a great experience...he stayed in a dorm in Russell Hall, ate all his meals in the dining hall and practiced on UGA's practice field with Coach Bobo--so cool!

More pictures to come!!

Easter 2011

2011-05-05T17:17:00.001-07:00

We had a good Easter this year!

Very low key...we did have a visit from the Easter bunny, though...

oh, and Ryan did a little stripping in front of the whole church to show off a new tee shirt-we all decided it was a good thing he didn't get new underwear!

visiting Mickey

2011-04-12T13:55:00.000-07:00

We took the boys on their first trip to Disney World during Spring Break. We now understand all the hype--we had a great time and are already planning our next trip! This was a quick visit so we only went to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot-our main goal was for Ryan to meet Mickey and we were able to check that off our list first thing (well actually 2nd thing...first was a ride on Space Mountain which is why he isn't looking as happy as he truly feels!)!

LUCKY NUMBER 13!

2011-04-11T14:14:00.000-07:00

"It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life."

-Rita Rudner

Today Chris and I have been married for 13 years!

Happy Anniversary, Christopher...I love you!

NUMBER NINE!

2011-03-27T12:40:00.001-07:00

HAPPY NINTH BIRTHDAY, OWEN!

We celebrated Owen's birthday this weekend with a football theme (of course!)...we started at school on Friday with football brownies...then on Saturday morning Owen ran in his first one mile fun run-The 34th annual Okefenokee Swamp Run. He came in 7th place out of 100+ runners of all ages!! A party at Gator practice field followed the Swamp Run-so we are officially worn out! More birthday photos to come!!

NUMBER SIX!

2011-03-12T19:12:00.001-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RYAN!

Ryan celebrated birthday number six today!!

We actually started partying at school on Friday and kept going...

The celebration will continue with the actual party next Saturday-

more pictures to come!

Happy Valentine's Day 2011

2011-02-09T19:25:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Aren't these the cutest cards! Wish I could take the credit!!

I found them here:

http://imlovinyourblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-am-for-sure-doing-this.html

FOUR-O!

2011-02-05T19:03:00.000-08:00

every year he would try out and

every year he would get cut

finally he gave up cheerleading

and signed up for football

Happy 40th birthday, Christopher!

We love you!!

Tiffany, Owen and Ryan

Happy New Year!

2010-12-29T14:01:00.001-08:00

We're looking forward to the start of a new year!

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!

2010-12-06T16:11:00.000-08:00

We had our "Hanging of the Green" ceremony at church this weekend...as usual Ryan's performance had us all laughing! In the first song he was actually trying to reach the microphone which is why he was turned to the side...the second song is actually the funniest!

***sorry for the poor video/sound quality...we were using the phone...

Owen's choir group did a great job, too! They looked so professional in their robes!

Countdown!

2010-11-29T18:37:00.000-08:00

The Christmas countdown has begun!

Even our elf has returned...so exciting!!!

Let The Beatings Begin

2010-11-27T18:54:00.001-08:00

Every year after Thanksgiving, we begin the painful ritual of trying to capture the perfect Christmas card photo...it is always a horrible experience! We (meaning me) do not want to send out terrible pictures so that everyone can comment on how poorly we have aged or how ugly our kids are! Honestly, if I had the money I would hire a professional photographer to create the cards for me every year!! Anyway...this was attempt number one-we will try again soon

(much to Chris and Owen's disappointment-can't you see how thrilled they are to be participants??)...

CASA Fashion Show

2010-11-22T19:53:00.001-08:00

(sorry...blurry photo-I think the blur makes me look better/younger, though!)

Janda suckered me into helping with the CASA fashion show this year...it was actually a lot of fun and a very impressive set-up! I met some great people and got some cool new duds!

Halloween 2010

2010-11-18T18:47:00.000-08:00

Ramsey, Owen and Evan

me and ryan

"Trunk or Treat" in our church parking lot

This year we had a "Cat in the Hat" and a "Dallas Cowboy Football Player".

Halloween has become the longest holiday! We now have 15 "Trunk or Treats" to attend prior to the real thing! Once you've been to a trunk or treat in a huge field with a hundred cars, bonfires, smores, trains, games, etc...trick or treating in your neighborhood on the 31st is kind of a let down!

Pumpkin Carving

2010-10-23T18:42:00.000-07:00

Ryan and I carved the pumpkin on the left...Chris and Owen carved the pumpkin on the right...

We're looking forward to Halloween! Pictures of costumes coming soon!!

Guessing Game-big prize!

2010-10-05T19:26:00.000-07:00

New school shirts for the boys...very cool jerseys!

Notice our loooooong name barely fits!

Who can guess what the numbers represent??

(fyi: there is no big prize)

Happiness is...

2010-10-03T05:42:00.001-07:00

a new TJ Maxx coming to Waycross!!

Boys of Fall

2010-09-25T15:40:00.000-07:00

Owen (#8) had a great 1st game of the season! He scored his first touchdown-very exciting (even if it was an intersquad game)...

Crafty

2010-08-16T19:39:00.001-07:00

I've been wanting to purchase some bird prints for awhile, but no job=no money. So...thanks to a great website (jonesdesigncompany.com), I was able to make my own bird art for cheap, cheap, cheap!! I love them!! What do you think?

(My ability to hang pictures is pitiful, though---don't analyze too much!)

Big Breakfast

2010-08-05T09:40:00.000-07:00

I am such a good mom when I'm not working! Chris says I am spoiling the boys...they will be shocked when I do go back to work-it will be pop-tarts and eggo waffles again!

First Day of School 2010

2010-08-02T20:01:00.001-07:00

Early morning--goofy, nervous grins

Afternoon pick-up--smiles all around!

Well...it is the beginning of another school year! Owen is in 3rd this year and Ryan started Kindergarten. Great new school + great teachers= great year for both boys!

So long Summer :(

2010-08-01T20:06:00.000-07:00

Chris' yummy tomato pie!

This year, I am especially sad to see summer break come to an end...both boys will start a new school tomorrow (Owen's 3rd new school in 4 short years!), and I pray that this will be a good year for us all! I will be staying home which is very hard for me...I like being at school with the boys---even though most kids go to school without "mom" being there, it makes me nervous to drop my kids off at the door!

We had a great summer filled with lots of swimming, lots of trips to the beach, and lots of visits with friends and family...who could ask for anything more??

I can...I would like 4 more weeks, please...

New Photos

2010-07-27T10:58:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Carolyn we have some new photos!! She took our picture near the beautiful oak trees by the pier in St. Simons. You can't tell from the photo, but it was quite a climb to this perch where we are seated...notice my death grip on Ryan...It's nice to have a friend who is such a great photographer!!!

Visitors from the North

2010-07-27T10:49:00.000-07:00

Ryan, Christian and Joshua

The Wilson/Warbington Crew in SSI

We were so excited to have our friends from Habersham

drive alllllll the waaaaay down to Waycross! We can't wait for the next visit...

Old Friends

2010-07-12T18:01:00.000-07:00

We had a great visit with some old friends

that we haven't seen in 4 years! Fun was had by all...

Moo...

2010-07-12T17:52:00.001-07:00

Oh, the levels we will stoop to for free food!

Happy 4th!

2010-07-07T14:55:00.000-07:00

My uncle Joe (aka "Uncle Sam")

Bebe, Owen, Ryan and Papa taking a spin around SSI

Another fun 4th on St. Simons! (notice Ryan's crazy eyes...the flash on Chris' camera phone is soooo bright that I am surprised we don't have permanent eye damage!!)

Woodlands Camp take 2

2010-07-01T10:29:00.001-07:00

Owen had an amazing week at Woodlands!

Next year we may even attempt the overnight camp...

Camp Woodlands part 1

2010-06-23T14:04:00.000-07:00

On Monday I dropped Owen off at Camp Woodlands. This is his first experience at camp away from home (technically he isn't staying at the camp at night but instead with a friend in Habersham...). He is having a great time! This is when life gets good...when you can send your kids away to camp for the whole summer---just kidding!! (or not??)

**more camp photos to come!

Dad X 3

2010-06-20T19:32:00.001-07:00

Happy Father's Day to our three favorite dads!!

Wicked Good!

2010-06-09T21:42:00.000-07:00

This weekend I traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina to see Wicked with some girlfriends. This was my first ever Broadway show (yes--I have lived in small towns too long...) and it was AMAZING! I was like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman at the opera--edge of my seat!!!

Everyone should see Wicked!

School's Out for SUMMER!

2010-05-21T17:01:00.000-07:00

(a teacher turning cartwheels-she was too quick for me to catch on film!)

Woo Hoo!! We survived another school year...however, this one definitely aged me!

I am praying that the summer days drraaaaaggggg by!

ShOrT CuTs

2010-05-16T09:55:00.001-07:00

ShOrT CuTs are the price you pay when dad is bald!

Good thing we don't have any girls...

I actually solved the mystery as to why Chris

feels the need to shave the boys' hair off...

**see photo below

and read the following blog:

Five Photographs in Five Days: Day Two

(Sorry for poor photo quality-Chris at a young age)

Ryan's 1st short cut

Owen's 4th short cut

Picasso

2010-05-13T19:30:00.000-07:00

Just when you're having a tough day, you open up your child's folder to find this sweet little drawing! You are thinking of the perfect frame and location for such a precious piece of art. You think perhaps it is of you (even though your eyes are blue-not green) and the child, so you run up to his room to ask..."Who is this in your drawing?" Sweet, talented artist replies..."I didn't draw that-maybe someone in my class made it for me!" No, no you assure him..."See how cute it is--you must have drawn it." He replies..."Nope-check with someone in my class-you got it?"

Bubble officially bursts!

Cheaper by the Dozen

2010-04-11T18:07:00.000-07:00

Today we have been married for 12 years!

I don't think we've changed a bit...do you?? Maybe less hair these days...

Happy Easter!

2010-04-04T09:41:00.000-07:00

Number 8

2010-03-27T18:57:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday, Owen!!

Birthday Boy!

2010-03-12T16:41:00.001-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RYAN!

Engaged!

2010-03-06T16:17:00.001-08:00

Congrats to Tara and Kevin!! We are so excited!

"Wet Chee"

2010-02-25T16:41:00.000-08:00

Ryan: "I almost got Dad a wet chee!"

me: "what's a wet chee?"

Ryan: "You know... it's when you pull your underwear up in your bottom."

me: "oh."

Ryan: "It really hurts to walk around with your underwear like that..."

It's official-he's a genius! Here's hoping you avoid any wet chees in the near future...

move over martha!

2010-02-15T13:18:00.001-08:00

We were very crafty for Valentine's Day this year!

(Nothing super crafty, but humor me...)

Flowers from our yard!!

Rye and Belly

2010-01-16T07:24:00.000-08:00

I love this picture!

(Heather-I'm going to owe you some royalties or something?? Of course, you'll have to wait until February to get paid!)

Happy New Year!

2010-01-02T11:10:00.001-08:00

We had a great time ringing in 2010 with our usual new year crew!

This year, we went all out with dinner AND dancing!!

Luckily, we saved some energy for our short walk home...

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-21T20:22:00.001-08:00

The Sling Shots

2009-10-11T10:48:00.000-07:00

Owen is an "official" football player! It seems like yesterday when I was lying to him and telling him he wasn't old enough to play soccer (in Kindergarten :) ). It was hard explaining when we ran into uniform-clad soccer players (classmates) that they were just playing "dress-up"!

Anyway...we are now part of a great team...The Sling Shots (based upon David and Goliath).

We've had a lot of fun at practices and games!!

Owen #8 (fourth from left)

Sling Shot supporters (can't you tell how into the game they are?):

IsAbElLe and RyAn

Go Team!

It's that time again!

2009-08-07T17:19:00.001-07:00

Well, here we go again... only 172 days to go (not a good sign that I am already counting!)!!

Rye started Pre-K and takes the bus every morning from our school to his school. Rye may be a wild child, but he never cries about going to school-he's always ready to go! (every morning we stand with about 15 crying 4 -year- olds waiting for the bus-insanity! pre-k teachers deserve free medication!)

O's first day of 2nd Grade in a new school!
So far, so good...
He misses all of his Clarkesville friends, but has made some new ones.

As for me, my first pre -planning day was very interesting. Lunch (at a gas station/gun & ammo shop) was the most interesting. It was such a Bon Qui Qui moment (thanks to MiMi for the comparison)!!

Welcome to Waycross!

2009-07-18T10:54:00.000-07:00

Well, we are finally coming up for air! Here's what we've been doing the past couple of months...

PACKING UP AND MOVING---

UNPACKING MILLIONS OF BOXES---

We are now official residents of Waycross, Georgia. We've once again moved across the state. In the past couple of months we have discovered some great things about living in Waycross...

#1 Close proximity to the beach--we are about an hour from the beach and have visited frequently this summer!

#2 Having a pool--this is a requirement in South GA to beat the heat!

#3 Mail delivered to your front door (who knew this still existed??)

#4 Gators (is this a great thing?!?)- we live very close (too close) to the Okefenokee Swamp...

I'm pointing out all of the good things about Waycross to entice our friends and family to come for a visit!! See you soon!

Fire Power

2009-05-18T18:30:00.000-07:00

Rock star and actor in the same family??

Our future is looking bright!

The Next American Idol

Fame and Fortune

2009-04-06T10:39:00.001-07:00

Check out my cover--wouldn't you love my autograph? Do you think I should be offended that my face never makes the cut?? I am anxiously awaiting a call about my next modeling gig--perhaps Lillian Vernon is in dire need of a "torso only" model...hopefully soon I can quit my day job!

Birthday Boy Take 2

2009-03-29T18:46:00.000-07:00

March is a huge birthday month around our house! Both boys have birthdays in March which means 2 parties within 2 weeks of each other--insanity!! Owie turned 7 on Friday (March 27th)...we can't believe how fast 7 years have come and gone--I pray time will slow and the next 7 won't go by quite as fast!

Birthday Boy

2009-03-13T19:46:00.001-07:00

Rye Bread turned four yesterday (3-12-09)!

Time has flown...It seems like yesterday when we came home to a very sick 3-year old with this newborn baby. It was a terrible first evening home-Chris said, "what have we done?" One child throwing up everywhere and one crying incessantly! Well, today we are still saying, "what have we done?"! Not really... we love Rye to the moon and back and he makes us laugh every day!

Early morning birthday photo op.

Later in the evening at Chuck E. Cheese...

V.I.P.s

2009-03-09T18:44:00.000-07:00

It's official...we are moving to south ga. My feeling on the subject depends on the day. Some days I am excited and others I am completely depressed. I mostly hate to uproot my kids (esp. Owie since he loves his school). I also hate to leave my home-- which I love! Anyway...you know you are living in a small town when EVERYONE stops you EVERYWHERE (grocery store, post office, gas station, etc.) to comment on your business--I find it so funny!! Our big move was even on the front page of the sports section of the local paper--yes, we are big time!! See link below to read the fascinating article:

http://www.thenortheastgeorgian.com/articles/2009/03/09/news/sports/02sports.txt

One great thing about the move is that Chris will be working for Ed Dudley (pictured above), who is an old friend. He is a great guy with a wonderful family--they are already celebrities in Waycross (another small town where they take their football seriously)!

Wetzler and Warbington Wrestlers

2009-02-19T17:39:00.000-08:00

What do boys do when they get together? They take off their shirts, of course, to show off their manly chests and muscles!!

We had a great visit with some old friends on SSI. St. Simons is still my most favorite place to be--I consider it "home" more so than any of the other gazillion places we have lived. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations during our recent trip--nothing like having friends who own a house right on the beach!!!

We also had a great Valentine's dinner without kids! And Soni...we did manage to get reservations (not at Applebee's by the mall--ha! ha!--Jeff cracked us up!) and a babysitter at the last minute--are we living right or what?

John kept us laughing all night with lawyer tales ("Charlie the one nostril horse thief")!! Keith and Chris were with us, too--they just didn't make the cut for photos-perhaps they should have been funnier at dinner...

Pitiful

2009-02-08T08:22:00.000-08:00

These are the bags that were packed for a girls' beach trip.

They never quite made it (even after several attempts) because...

I have been here in a pitiful state since Thursday afternoon.

I am hosting my own little pity party.

Who can resist?

2009-02-05T16:56:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry for more puppy pictures... they are soon to be leaving us, so I am taking advantage of their cuteness while I still can! Isn't this a great picture of Alli and the pups?? If only I could take credit for taking it!

Almost Famous

2009-02-03T16:13:00.000-08:00

I'm just now discovering that the family I married into is totally famous! A gospel singing group...can you believe it? Shouldn't I be receiving a cut of their royalties?

(Doesn't this look like the photo is taken on the front porch on Plum Street??? Trust me--if I can locate an album, all of the Warbingtons will receive one next Christmas!)

basket of pups

Blast from the Past!

2009-01-30T17:53:00.000-08:00

I recently met with some former classmates to plan our high school reunion-20 years!!

It was so good to see everyone!

Meet Roxie

2009-01-26T18:32:00.001-08:00

As if we don't have enough "puppy madness" around our home already...we've added one more to the mix!

39 Years

Happy Anniversay BeBe and PaPa!

Puppy Love

2009-01-16T19:26:00.001-08:00

How will we ever part with these cute puppies? Luckily this little guy (Jalopy) will stay in the family!!

Brotherly Love

2009-01-14T19:34:00.001-08:00

Happy Birthday, PaPa!!

2009-01-13T20:09:00.001-08:00

Happy, Happy Birthday, PaPa! We love you!

Blast Off!

2009-01-05T14:58:00.000-08:00

Thanks to Mimi and PaPa for this cool rocket!!

take the picture, barbara!

My Christmas Prize!

2008-12-31T08:26:00.000-08:00

I now have to take back all of the bad things I have said about my husband!! He is usually a terrible gift giver, but this year he made up for all of those bad gifts!

Here is my reaction to the present...

And here it is...

This was the biggest surprise (2nd only to our engagement) he has ever pulled off! So... he is in my good graces (for now anyway)!

All Hail the Queen

These days Pepper is the queen of our household. Apparently, being pregnant with 8 babies gets you the royal treatment...

Cooey Canes

Nothin' beats a "cooey" cane from Santa!

Happy Birthday (x4)

2008-11-15T15:59:00.000-08:00

This was big birthday weekend for our family!

Happy birthday to Tara (whom we got to embarrass at the Mexican restaurant), Brad (whom hopefully has recovered from the shark attack off the Great Barrier Reef), Papa (whom Ryan thinks looks an awful lot like Colonel Sanders) and last but not least...Angus (who may not make it to another year if he keeps chewing up our possessions)!

Hope you all had a great birthday!! We love you!!

Is it whom or who??? Whom knows??

Howloween

2008-11-06T19:13:00.000-08:00

It was a perfect night for trick-or-treating! We had a great time with the Wilson clan (friends who so graciously allow us to crash their neighborhood on Halloween!). This was probably my last year to choose Rye Bread's costume (in case you can't tell from the photos, he is an elephant--obviously the political statement didn't help the election!) Owie is all into the Goosebumps books, so he had to be "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp"--very scary!!

Mother of the Year

2008-11-05T20:02:00.000-08:00

What does the "Mother of the Year" do for Halloween? Well...she decides on the afternoon of October 30th to make treats with the boys for their classmates. She ends up staying up until 1 am dipping (chocolate not skoal), sprinkling, packaging, tying cute bows and adding the all -important vintage Halloween sticker. Who appreciates this wonderful mother?? Certainly not her husband who cannot stand when she starts projects at the last minute...certainly not her own children who don't even like chocolate...and certainly not the classmates who ripped open the perfectly packaged goodies, tossing the cute ribbon and crumpled bag with vintage sticker aside to devour a small portion of the perfectly dipped and sprinkled pretzel or ghost before moving on to some other goodie bag provided by another wannabe mother of the year! And now, here I sit at 11 pm writing about this project, still hoping that someone will appreciate it! So sad...

Pumpkin, pumpkin

2008-10-18T17:09:00.001-07:00

You know you are leading a pretty boring life when all you do on the weekends in October is visit different pumpkin patches... I have since decided that the Pumpkin Patch is a booming business and perhaps the Warbingtons will open one next year!

Gearing Up!

2008-10-04T08:48:00.000-07:00

Our household is getting ready for Halloween--including the dogs!

Owie

2008-10-03T20:07:00.001-07:00

I love this little boy! As the oldest child of two oldest children, Owie doesn't stand a chance!! I'm sure we have already caused him to have ulcers...

Rye Bread

2008-10-03T19:59:00.000-07:00

I love this little boy! He makes me absolutely nuts--he is forever into everything and I can't wait to get breaks from him...but when I do have time away, I miss him like crazy!

When you realize you aren't the favorite...

2008-09-05T15:08:00.000-07:00

I saw this the other day and thought it was so funny!! Enjoy!

We're not in Kansas anymore...

2008-09-01T06:38:00.000-07:00

I was driving home the other day and saw the strangest sight--a gazillion scarecrows! Turns out this town (Hoschton) is trying to break the Guinness world record for the most scarecrows in a town. These photos are just from one farm in the town-I passed many, many more scarecrows!! They even had a football field set up with UGA scarecrow players against Tech players-craziness!

It's back!

2008-08-31T10:33:00.000-07:00

All of the men in my life are so excited--it's football season again! We started off with a loss to Cedar Shoals, but Chris (ever the optimist) still has good feelings about this season. The boys love the Raider games-mostly because they can run on the field after the game:)! I like football season because I get to begin my Sunday afternoon shopping trips again! As a matter of fact, I need to cut this short and head out right now...shoe shopping!!

Jeremiah the Jolly, Fat Frog

2008-08-26T17:37:00.000-07:00

Chris decided I needed a new class pet...I decided he should have to take care of it!
Chris just showed up one afternoon with this creature. His "Marvin" Stewart side came out, and he spent an hour creating this frog wonderland for our friend.

I must say that Jeremiah is a huge hit at school. He's this rather large bullfrog (in case you didn't gather that from his name), and he is pretty lazy-just lounges around eating crickets and guppies!

Snaggletooth

2008-08-26T17:29:00.000-07:00

We're keeping the Tooth Fairy busy at our house! Owie lost two teeth within a 24 hour period...

Happy Birthday, Soni!

2008-08-21T18:38:00.000-07:00

We all hope you have a great day!! It's always good to have your birthday fall on a Friday...you can really celebrate and sleep in the next day!!! Enjoy!

Back to School!

2008-08-10T12:15:00.000-07:00

Well...school is back in session. Owie is now a first grader, and Mrs. Gannon is his teacher-she is great!! I get to be really annoying this year since his classroom is right next door to mine!

Gnat Fest

2008-07-27T19:09:00.001-07:00

And Janda always says..."Baxley is boring!"

We traveled down south for our last summer getaway--our trip started off with a bang! An accident with a big 18 wheeler (funny story)...but we trudged onto Baxley anyway-- with Janda greeting us with the Sanford and Son theme song (nothing like having a good friend!!). Thanks to Janda, Jada and both Keiths we had a great time on the lake!! Lots of tubing, boat rides, and a great low country boil--yum!!!

River Rats

2008-07-21T15:54:00.000-07:00

We found this beautiful river spot when Janda and Keith were visiting a few weekends ago...we went today for a swim. We are trying to cram in lots of outings during our last 2 weeks of summer :( ---time flies when you're having fun!
