Where Have All The Bloggers Gone??

Well with my luck and agility, I managed to sprain my ankle coming down the stairs last night and hopefully if there is a heaven, it can be "fixed" by just icing and stuff and not having anything more extreme to have to do to it, but the point of my title here is everytime I have checked my fellow blogging constituents on my page, there has been next to nothing if anything new going on in their lives that they felt worthy of posting. You guys have to know that I'm here waiting with baited breath just to get a glimpse into your lives, so come on and help a sister out while I have nothing to do but put my foot up and relax for a little bit!! ;)

My Handsome Man!! (Well Mini Man)

Well my middle man turned a great big ol' 6 today and though I even made him a cute

"I'm 6" shirt and matching pants..the pics didn't come out very well and I"m probably just being a bit lazy about putting them up...but here are some of his best moments from the past year...What a great big brother he is to his younger brother and an "occasional" good brother to his older sister!! ;) As well as what a fun-loving spirit he is in everything he does just makes Chris and I laugh and chuckle so many times with his energy and zest for life....Here's to many more fun and hyper years to come, even if they do occasionally come with casts and broken bones..doesn't that come with the territory of having boys!!?? ;) Oh yeah and he had soccer practice tonight and I made soccer cupcakes so his sports friends could help him enjoy his birthday a little bit too!! ;)

Spots,Flowers,and Flights

Well I don't have a camera right now as Chris took it on his "flight" (covered the last "F" in my title) to North Dakota to be in his best friend's wedding, where Dalin is also the ring bearer...yes you may shamelessly "awww" at how cute my 5 yr. old Hulk will be as that!! Now while all this is going on there, Destinee is finishing up her school's Drama Club production of 101 Dalmations and I made some very cute, if I do say so myself, and I DO...arrangements of "flowers" (2nd "F") to give to the teachers that are in charge of all these hoodlum children. Now, why Destinee's at school getting ready for that, and Daddy and Dalin are away gallavanting as wedding participants, Kyle is here getting double ear infections and a vicious spotty (variation of the first word in my title) rash all over his little body from what doctors can best tell is just allergies!! Life is happening, now be glad it's not yours!! ;)

Can You Believe It??

Would you let 3 yr. olds play soccer on your team, and more importantly would you be willing to coach them!! Dalin got to start last year, and we quickly figured out that the next Spring (i.e. this one) Kyle would be three and able to play in a 3/4 yr. old league!! Do you think we had an excited little man..oh yes we did!! First game was Saturday and though he is BY FAR the smallest (strange thing to say ever about my kids) AND youngest, as there are quite a few 4 year olds ready to turn 5 (and even some stinkin' 5 yr olds) on this team..he sure did play hard, and though I well know that if I asked the traditional mother question of "Have you ever seen anything cuter than my little man in that last pic" that you would answer with a definitive yes because it's not YOUR little man or lady but I have to say that I can't think of anything cuter than a 3 yr. old (particularly mine) in cleats and shin guards!! ;) *Side Note* Dalin still is playing as well BUT the day after we got back from Spring Break, he decided to jump off a high piece of playground equipment at school and fractured his foot, and so he's in a nice neon green cast for 2 weeks, so he was there on the sidelines to support his team, but can you imagine how hard that would be for a very energetic,athletic 5 yr. old to "cheer on your teammates." Quite sad indeed, and we just hope that he will be able to play at least half his season....So pray for a quick recovery so he can participate really soon!! ;)

One Last Outdoor Tour..Without the Mosquitoes!!

Well this will conclude (or start depending on how you interpet this blog/reverse order thing) our wonderful Spring Break vacation pics, but one last stop had to be made on our way home as we passed through Shenandoah National Forest (or whatever it's called..National Park/Forest/Parking Area with Grass, etc.) At least these nature pics could potentially be taken again before the 12th of Never (which is when we'll probably get back to TN) because these are just a few hours away from our house in VA!! Also, all the pics that you will soon see of the areas in TN (should you choose to scroll down) are esp. meaningful and dejavu(ish) (I'm full of made-up words today) for Chris and I, because this is where we spent our honeymoon some 9 years ago. We didn't have any money to our name when we first got married, but with the help of some scraped up boy scout money and lifeguarding money that we still had from previous jobs, we managed to scrape up enough to go hideaway at this little cabin in the woods in Gatlinburg, TN. It was March 2001 and we arrived the week before everything of any interest even opened, so not much to do, but hey we didn't have the funds to do anything anyway, right!!?? So, a look back in our minds at where we were then and where we are now...what a difference a day (or years) makes, right!!?? ;)

A Little Man's Wish....

Okay that title sounded like a "Make-a-Wish" dream or something and heaven forbid 'twere it be the case, but for this wish, Dalin has said for quite some time now that when he grows up he wants to be a Monster Truck Driver and so when the opportunity presented itself to ride in one...could any self-respecting parent pass that up?? (Okay, yes they could but it wasn't actually too expensive, so why not??)

Part Two...Of Course in Opposite Order!!

Just some more beautiful sites to see in the good ol' South!! Have I mentioned yet that I miss Kentucky!! ;) Military Gods..do you hear us?? Change us from the snobby North, and give us the Friendly South!!
