mikey is 6

Well mikey is now 6. He had a birthday party with some friends we rented a jumper and they played all afternoon. It was supposed to rain but thankfully it didn't rain till the next day. Then on his birthday we went to Red Robins with family. We had a blast and good food. We are very blessed with family and friends. I just can't believe he is 6 He was just born man time flys.

1st day of school

Well today was the first day of school for both kids. I had a good time haha. Lexi loved her school. She loves her teachers, which are the same ones Mikey had.
Mikey on the other hand did not like his first day. He likes his teacher alright but said he learned the stuff already in kindergarten. I had to tell him it is because they are reviewing the first week. I think he misses his old school. I have him convinced to stick it out for a little while.
I will have puctures to post soon.

Reine Lilianna Lemley

So last december Michael and I were blessed with the honor of becoming GodParents to a wonderful little girl Reine Lilianna Lemley. She is such a beautiful little girl. We feel very blessed to have the honor of being her godparents. To alot of people it is just a name, but it is such a big responsiblity, not something to be taken lightly. We hope we are up for this wonderful challenge.

RIP Tom Prather

Some of you have met Tom and some of you havn't. For those who knew him you knew him to be a wonderful man, a honest, trustworthy and forgiving man. This man helped raise me from the time I was 4. I consider myself very lucky to have had two wonderful dad's. Tom loved my sister and I like we were his children. He loved my children and her children. My children loved Tom and looked foward to seeing him. He was papa Tom.

Unfourtanitly He was taken from us too early. He battled cancer for many years and did well until it won in the end. He was brave every step of the way. He out lived what dr's said he would. I know i am very proud of him and he will remain in my heart forever. Here is a poem that he was layed to rest with.

God Saw you

God saw you were getting tired

And your cure was not meant to be.

So he put his arms around you

And whispered " Come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you

and saw you pass away,

and though we love you dearly,

we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

hard working hands were put to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best.

How perfect is this for Tom? We will always love him.

Hey all,

well today we went down to add Mikey in Soceer and found a waiting list in its place lol. So he decided he wanted to play flag football ugh. Boy does that make me nervouse but it was either flag football or hockey, and for many reasons I am galde he decided football. We also signed him up for a day camp for a transportation muesum. He should have lots of fun.

I can't wait for lexi to be able to play sports and be involved.

So that is it for now

Hi everyone,

well has for me I have adjusted to being in North Carolina, the summers are a little too hot but we get over it. We started off living next to family in Fayetteville but now live on Fort Bragg in recently remodeled houses. It is a bit small but we get by. We are alot closer to everything but we do miss having our big house and living near our family out here.

I have started going back to school, and thought i was going back for nursing but i think i might go back for my teaching degree instead. From the time I was a little girl i wanted to be a teacher i strayed from that but i think i might go back to that. I havn't made up my mind yet but im leaning that way.
Other than than not much going on looking foward to both m y kids being in school even if one is part time:)
