A Quick and Random Update

It's been forever since I've blogged, but I have a good excuse. Our computer died...it completely crashed. Thankfully the super duper smart computer guy in Montgomery was able to get EVERYTHING off of our hardrive...including our pictures...I was FREAKING OUT abou the pictures! Yay!

We still have no computer. We will probably be getting one this weekend. I'm am using our neighbors, right now, as we speak :) Thanks Josh and Alisha! (We've been using their computer EVERYDAY...so thankful for wonderful neighbors!) Crazy how much we depend on our computer...

Anyway, nothing too exciting has been going on. Just the usually school, soccer, church stuff. Turner WAS sick but got over it very quickly, Chad has been working like a maniac (his work ethic amazes me), T, AC, and I went to Prattville for a few days (that's always fun...I miss my family).

My Parents had an anniversary on the 4th. I'm so thankful for their marriage...What amazing examples I've had! My nephew Ben had a birthday on the 5th...I can't believe that kid is 8, WOWZA!

AC does something new each and everyday. The girl is hilarious...seriously. She never, ever sits still (well unless she's eating) and she ridiculously loud (wonder where she gets that from?) Our kids have no shot at being quiet or meek. Have you met both me AND Chad?

Last week, Chad asked AC to do something and she said NO! (she loves that word) Chad then said...What did you just say to me? and she, realizing he was angry, thought about it a minute then said...THANK YOU? Told you she was funny!

Turner is still, of course, the smartest kid in his class. He amazes us all the time...he has such a mathematical brain...just like his daddy!

Also, I have been running a ton lately. I'm getting pretty good at it and I'm loving it!!! It is crazy addicting...I love that feeling of accomplishment...when I go further then I thought I could...It's awesome. I'm training to run either a 10k or a half marathon on January 9th...we'll see. Never thought, in a million years, I'd be a runner. Oh and I'm trying to quit drinking Coke...it's my favorite thing in the whole world. I've always known it was bad for me but I just read a book (thanks Becky for ruining my life) and in it there was an entire chapter about how not only is it bad for you...but it's HORRIBLE for you. Yuck! We'll see how it goes...I really LOVE Coke!

I have lots of new pictures of the kiddos to post but I can't do that until we get a computer...I'm sure you can't wait. :)

Oh and I'm reading the book, Jesus, The One and Only by Beth Moore. If you haven't read it...do so...now. It is unreal, she really gets you to use your imagination. I'm learning so much about my Jesus.

Ta-ta for now and WAR EAGLE! (even if we are terrible...I love the tigers)

We Have a Soccer Player Ladies and Gentlemen!

Turner's first soccer game was this morning and he totally dominated! He did awesome, scoring 4 goals and blocking 2 goals as goalie. He's always the first to the ball and is such an aggressive defensive player. It was really fun watching him play and you could tell he was having so much fun too. Yay for our little athlete!

Breakfast with Daddy

Just a cute pic of AC eating breakfast with her Daddy....school mornings are so early!

Snow, Here We Come!!

The kids snowsuits came in the mail today....


they're a little large. :) Maybe they'll grow before we go on our ski trip.

Pictures!!!

We had the kids pictures done yesterday and OMG they are so awesome! It was such a pleasant experience. If you live in Pensacola or ever come to Pensacola...Deanie Sexton Photography!!! She's a mom that really knows how to capture your little one's personality AND she only uses natural light AND she gives you the disc of pictures (after she edits and does all sorts of fun stuff) to do as you please! She's great...if you can't tell, I was VERY pleased. Here are just a few favorites...there are so many. :)

Let Me Take A Minute....

I just want to take a minute to brag on my Turner. Mrs. Ciccone scheduled conferences with all the parents and we had ours this morning. She couldn't stress enough how much she adores Turner. She even said that she told her husband if they ever have a little boy she wants him to be just like T. She said she loves that T is all boy but very, very sweet. She never has to ask him to do anything twice and he always say yes ma'am and no ma'am (we were happy that she makes her students say ma'am...not everyone does that anymore). She also said he is very sweet to the other little boys and girls. She thinks his personality is just wonderful!

As far as school goes Turner is above and beyond. He knows everything he supposed to and lots, lots more. I must say that Chad and I are very proud. We've always known that he's a special boy...we're so happy that others know it too.

What a blessing to be his mommy! Thank you God for Turner.

T Finally Learned...

After weeks of trying, T-Dawg learned to tie his shoe. He stayed in his room Saturday morning for a good 30 minutes practicing and he finally did it. He was SO proud! I remember learning to tie my shoe (on my Punky Brewster hi-tops...coolest shoes I've ever owned) and how excited I felt when I finally did it. Yay for Turner! I wonder what he's going to learn next?


Also, how cute is Anna Cate in her Auburn cheerleader outfit??
