Roley Moley!! (not sure if that is how it is spelled, but oh well!)

That is what Alex says when he means Holy Moley, but I thought it was the perfect title for this post because I had a mole removed today! It was my first experience at the dermatologist office, it didn't go that bad. I get the results from the biopsy in about a week, so hopefully it is nothing. Anyways, the boys went to Mamaw and Papaw's house today while I went to the doctor. Summer and Carlie were there too, so needless to say, she was pretty tired by the time I got back. It was perfect for me because they were worn out by the time we made it home, so they both went straight to sleep (that means alone time for the mommy!). Mikey's Granddaddy had surgery today, as far as I know (which isn't very much) everything went good and he should get to come home this weekend.

Rewind to yesterday....... Mamaw and I and Alex and Aidan went to WalMart yesterday. We were so worn out that we had to call for reinforcements for lunch and the unloading of groceries. Luckily, Sloane had Summer and Carlie so they met us there and then helped us get the groceries inside (thank you Jesus for my sister!) We were so worn out that we all passed out for a solid three hours. I got nothing accomplished, but had a really great nap!

Birthday Party and Relaxing during the Storm

Saturday night we went to Mikado's (I know we went there a few weeks ago, but we like it!) for Mikey's mom's (AKA Grandmommy) birthday. It was soooo good as usual. I forgot to bring my camera (AGAIN!!) but she had hers so someone has pictures. Afterward, we went to Sonic for some ice cream/milkshakes (feeling guilty now about that) and then headed home. This morning we went to church and then came home and took a nap. It was so relaxing to listen to the thunder in the background. But then I had to get up to go to the "live" as Alex calls it, for Yoga class. It was good and relaxing, perfect for this dreary day.

This is Aidan's new favorite place in the house.......

Tired.....

Man I am exhausted today. I had to work today, not even that hard, but I am worn out anyway. I did a step aerobics class on Tuesday and my legs are still killing me from it. I have been limping around for 3 days now, it is getting old. I am going to go to Yoga Stretch tomorrow so hopefully that will help. Anyway, enough whining!! Mikey and I have started a new bible study book this week and so far it is amazing. It is all about having faith in God through everything. During this time in our lives, when everything is up in the air about regarding our future, it is just the kind of daily devotion that we really need. If anyone is interested we would be glad to pass it on when we are finished, just let me know.

Happy Birthday Grandmommy!!

We just want you to know that we love you and send you happy birthday wishes!! We hope that you are having a great one!! We love you!!

Fourth of July Weekend

Family Photo (the boys were obviously not excited!)

We have had an amazing weekend!! We got to see all of our parents at one point or another, so that is always good. And we got to see some family that we just don't get to see that often. Mikey had the day off on Friday, so we got to spend the day at home. It was nice not to have anything to do, but man were we bored by the afternoon. Just so happened that Randy and Walissa were bored too, so I called Momma to see if the boys could spend the night, and the four of us headed to Nashville. We decided on P.F. Changs for dinner. It was sooooo delicious. That is so not a good picture of me, but we were having technical difficulties so I had to make do. Afterward, we went to Green Hills and saw The Hangover. It is absolutely hilarious, very crude, but hilarious. Definately not a family friendly film, but we laughed really hard. We didn't get home until after 1:00 am, and were exhausted. I don't think I moved until about 9 the next morning. So we got up and went to Momma's to get the boys, then I headed to the Y to exercise (told you I was obsessed, even on a holiday!! haha!!).

For lunch on the 4th, we headed over to my great-great-aunt Hazel's house. She is Grandmother's sister. That was the first time I had seen all of that side of the family since Grandmother passed. It was hard for me to be there without her, but I know that she would definately want for all of us to still get together for holidays and things. She was such a special lady and I still miss her everyday. Anyway, we had some yummy food that I ate way too much of and got to just hang around for a while and visit. I tried my hardest to get up a kickball game, but no onw wanted to play with me, oh well maybe next year (it was probably better anyway, I was saved of the embarassment of being picked last!) Aidan had an amaizing time playing in that fountain. He kept looking at all of us like, "am I not going to get in trouble for this?" It was pretty cute.

After lunch, we all really needed a nap so we went home to rest before the evening festivities. That night we went to Memaw's house for a party. The food was delicious and the company was great!! Sadly, because of the storms, we did not get to shoot fireworks. So instead we played Cranium WOW (which by the way is the funnest game ever!). We got about halfway through the game, then it happened.......Alex threw up all over the kitchen floor (and a little on Walissa....which was sort of funny because she doesn't like vomit!! haha!!) I don't have any pictures from the night time because I forgot my camera, but Ms. Kathy is supposed to email me hers. So I will try to remember to put some up once she emails me!! It was a great fourth of July!!

In other news, Alex learned to pee standing up!! His Daddy is so proud!!

and so is he............

forgot to say....

Congratulations to my Mamaw and Papaw. They have been married for 45 years today. This day in time, that is an accomplishment!! I love you both and I look up to you!! I wanted to put something up that would sum up your marriage and life and I thought what better way than to put up a picture of all of your family. Happy Anniversary!!

YMCA, Ice Age, TJ Maxx, Revolutionay Road

Well, we decided to join the YMCA and so far I can't get enough of it. Which is a good thing to get addicted to, if you are going to get addicted to anything. I just love being there and getting to spend a few moments to myself (although I count the seconds down on the elliptical!). The only thing that I don't care for is that Alex and Aidan have to be in seperate playrooms because of their age difference. Alex had a small meltdown the first day, but has been fine ever since we talked about it.

Wednesday, me and the boys went with Ms. Kathy and Walissa to see Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. It was okay, not as good as Up, but okay. I had to spend the last half hour walking in the hall with Aidan, but I wasn't that interested anyway so it was okay. Afterward, we went to TJ Maxx. I got three pairs of shoes for myself. I felt a little guilty, but they were all on sale and soooo cute. We met Mikey for dinner at Olive Garden and had good conversations with the family.

I had to work today :( It was not fun, but it wouldn't be called work if it was right? I did get off early so that was a pleasant surprise. We got the boys to bed early, so that we could get a movie on Pay-Per-View (not that kind!). We got Revolutionary Road. I do NOT recommend it. I thought I was going to be sick at the end. It was truly disturbing. We are watching Grease right now, just to not have to go to bed with that on our minds!! That's all for now!!
