This is May?

The weather is warm, the weather is cold, the weather is dry, the weather is wet. So much indecision. Some days I can hardly believe it is the month of May. This would be one of those days.

on her own?

My daughter seems to think that upon graduating high school she will be "on her own." Bahahahaha! Just a minute ago over breakfast she says we won't have anything to do with her "having breakfast" when she's away. Dad made reference to her meal plan and it being paid for. "Hello, need our help with a loan to pay for school don't you?" And I just read her blog where she is going on about being on her own. Yes, you will go and live in the dorm. Yes, you will be responsible to get yourself up, fed and to class on time. Yes, this will be huge. Yes, we will miss you and you will miss us. But "on your own" means you are moving out with all your stuff and financially not depending on us. Are your mixed emotions ready to take that on? My emotions are not ready to let you go quite yet. College: the transitional period that leads you to be "on your own." I do love you Sydney, just not ready for you to be quite on your own yet. There are still lessons to be learned and we will be beside you all the way...cheering you on. Because YES, we do want you to be on your own!

Peanut butter jelly time

Not often, but PBJ today! Now, ICE CREAM & CAKE, ICE CREAM & CAKE, ICE CREAM & CAKE! Lol. Jordan, I find this funny and I'm laughing all by myself :)

And in case you were wondering...

Kendahl's belly button is still cute! Don't know what's on your mind but evidently Kendahl's piercing was on Sydney's. Talk about random. Kendahl gave us a look at her belly...her very tan belly, that is sure to be cute in a swimsuit, on a boat in the ocean.

So nice!

The weather has been so nice this week. It figures, just as league play is ending we get a string of warm weather. No complaints...very happy it's finally here. In another month summer break will be here and I will expect no less than what I see today.

One month

Oh my goodness! ONE month. One month...graduation will soon be here. Yikes, one month!

Did I tell you?

...did I tell you THANK YOU? Thank you very, very much for a wonderful Mother's day. From my first cup of coffee...to the homemade chocolate cake. It was all soooooooooooooooooooo good. From the handpainted card...to the mushy card! It was all sooooooooooooooooooooo good. From the first hug...to the last kiss. It was all sooooooooooooooooooooo good! Thank you, thank you, thank you! xoxo

Smile!

Braces may soon be a thing of the past. Whoo hoo! Nobody will be happier than Sydney, who has had them on for awhile now. The orthodontist assures her this summer before she leaves for college. She has had a "slow" mouth...slow to lose her teeth, so slow that even the orthodontist got tired of waiting for them and just had them pulled out. Well, they are looking so pretty and soon her smile will be even brighter. Jordan has lucked out all the way around. He will not even have had his on a year...in two weeks he will be free of his braces. They were put on last June and he will have them off May 24th. Maybe now we will be able to get pictures with him showing his teeth!

It's time

It's May 8th and this is the first spring day you could go outside without your winter coat. Yikes. It's time for it to warm up and time for me to be able to enjoy a baseball game without my fleece gloves. Time to be mowing the lawn every third day. Time to be sipping fresh brewed ice tea on the deck. Time to see flowers in bloom instead of dead ones from a cold, cold spring frost. Time to see flip flops. Time to stop turning on the heat. Time to be able to open the windows. I know, it's all in God's perfect timing but doesn't he know I am looking for immediate gratification? What He knows is that I will be the first to complain when it's 98 degrees. Who doesn't want it their way every day of the year

Thirty

Happy birthday to you Andrea...thirty. "30." 3-0...three, zero! What does that feel like? Any different than last Saturday? Two Saturdays ago? Thirty Saturdays ago? What will you do to remember this day? Well if I know you, your camera is in hand and you will document the day and the things you choose to do. Maybe the things Clark has chosen for you to do. Nevertheless, you will enjoy!

This post is just for Sydney

I pulled floss from the dryer this morning...the insanity has to stop! Ewwwwwwwww :)
