"Woger Woger"

This weekend Carter had a friend over and they were playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii.

The conversation went something like this

Carter: "Noah get the Woger Woger guy" (ps. Carter is not good with is Rs)

Me (after hearing this 10 times): "Carter what is the Roger Roger guy"

Carter: "They are dese men that wear walkie talkies and they walk around and say Woger Woger, Woger, Woger"

Well I thought it was funny... I laughed everytime he said it-- Joe only laughed the first time and said I had issues when I kept laughing.

Beach Blogging 2010

Our annual summer beach trip has come and gone once again.. Here are some of my favorite pics from the week...

See that smile? That is the smile of freedom, yep his last free summer before Big School Starts.

See that smile? That is the I am at the beach smile, or maybe the my brother is crying over the broken shovel and I am being the good child smile, or maybe the please mom do I have to take one more picture smile
See that smile? Oh I guess you can't see me smiling behind the camera-- but what a sweet little Kodak moment..

It's Official!! He did it!!

It is officially official!! My hubby is a college graduate. And not only did he graduate-- he did it in style-- He graduated Magna Cum Laude, and was one of 7 to receive a scholarship pin, which is the highest academic honor at Montreat and means he maintained a certain grade point average (obviously a high one :)) for 6 consecutive semesters. Yes I said one of 7 and there were close to 200 graduates--- how cool is that!!

Payten was the first to notice his name on the program twice for both his honors, and Carter made sure to tell him "I am pwoud of you daddy". And I am extremely PWOUD too!!

Oh and for anyone keeping track-- the turd did beat my GPA.

A Song for You

Even though I can't sing, dance, or play an instrument-- music does something for me, always has. When I exercise, it makes me want to do it longer, move faster. I often hear songs that fit the moment that I am in, almost like I was meant to hear that song. I guess you can say I am a slave to the vibe.....

Recently I heard a song on my Ipod that was perfect for someone special to me.

Tonight I added that song to my blog for her. This song is for a friend who has endured a lot lately and has done it with such strength, grace, and positivity. I've told her more than once she is my Hero--

RD-- I am so proud of your "Can do", "Will win", "Will Beat this" champion attitude.

I know that not all days are easy-- and so that you won't forget, I have added this song for you--and just like the words of this song, "On a day when you feel spent-- you can "Trouble Me".

(p.s should you need the lyrics I have hyperlinked them here)

Looking forward to our eggtomatothrowingcussinggetitoutcryingpunchinghugging(not touching :)) night!!

MUUUUWWAAAHH!!

The most special gift

I got many things I loved for Christmas-- so I don't want to offend anyone who may have given me a wonderful gift. But this year one present trumped all... It was a recipe box made just for me by my mom....

And what made it even more special was the sweet poem she wrote just for me to put on the top...

Maybe one day I will be able to read it without tearing up.

My Baby is growing up...

I am so proud that he is learning his letters and writing his name....



But that means he is starting Kindergarten soon..In fact--I registered him last week......sigh...
