We are so glad to have gotten a spot in this program. I can't wait to see how his first day went. We packed his little lunch this morning and he was so excited. He is getting so BIG!<br />We also got the call from his soccer coach that our first practice is Thursday night. I can't wait to watch him play.<br />It was very sad this morning when we were getting ready to leave. Laney Grace had dressed her self and was ready for school. She just did not understand that she couldnt go. Her day will come. I am just hanging on to her being a baby as long as I can. By they way her new favorite article of clothing is "the tutu". We wear it everywhere.</div>Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541078387145516899noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953528463990256213.post-83767056240579375622009-07-27T12:31:00.003-05:002009-07-27T15:56:29.541-05:00Obsessed!As if I really have the time for an obsession of any kind. I finally read New Moon, the second of the 4 book "Twilight" series. I feel like a child...I am so into this. I actually read a 563 page book in 3 days. I could not put it down as if I have some weird thing going. I am already 150 pages into Eclipse, the 3rd book and same thing...Can't put it down. I had never seen the movie Twilight so I demanded that Justin buy it and watch it with me...as the sequal will be out in November. I have to be all read up and caught up by then...it's so important. So I watched the movie and OH MY GOD...Its my new favorite...Why am I so enthralled with these Teenage vampires...Now I have Hannah all into it...were starting to get culty...everytime she calls she's like Bella and Edward....as if they are real. What are we going to do when there are no more books to read....NO!!!!!Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541078387145516899noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953528463990256213.post-49839110999042162642009-06-22T10:04:00.002-05:002009-06-22T10:06:07.746-05:00Lots and Lots and Lots....To catch up on...Pictures to upload from the beach and such...<br />I'm still not doing so well with the whole blog thing but I promise I mean well...Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541078387145516899noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953528463990256213.post-41616864370847181712009-02-23T21:04:00.014-06:002009-02-23T21:30:10.297-06:00Birthday Recap<div><div><div><div><div><div> </div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRXgalrx93Trx2Q9d-zP2oxQtQ1xsMdfz5gyiMHdJOZEQ1P8Mid1HwvaKgr9V_PeOj3KNJVWejNbDVSA4Wno-A5kQFkYM1CGHpPUmmcLNh9ucE3nIYSsdiSZJeIbW4d0hYTCBSyNCnHP5A/s1600-h/Laney+Grace%27s+2nd+Birthday+012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306197983592224946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRXgalrx93Trx2Q9d-zP2oxQtQ1xsMdfz5gyiMHdJOZEQ1P8Mid1HwvaKgr9V_PeOj3KNJVWejNbDVSA4Wno-A5kQFkYM1CGHpPUmmcLNh9ucE3nIYSsdiSZJeIbW4d0hYTCBSyNCnHP5A/s400/Laney+Grace%27s+2nd+Birthday+012.JPG" border="0" /></a>I promised pictures from the Bug's 2nd birthday party.

I've watched toothless mothers spend hundreds of dollars on overnight accommodations, spray tans,(yes, they spray tan there toddlers) clothes, photos, of which are so digitally enhanced that by the time they are done doctoring the photos you cant even tell if the child is, 1. even the same child or if 2.they are actually wax figures of themselves.</div><br /><div align="center">I said many times, "how could these Mothers do this to their children...fake hair, fake teeth, fake, fake, fake... that's not teaching these children true beauty, I will never do that to my little girl if I ever have one". </div><br /><div align="center">And then, you have my mother's theory, that it could cause <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">psychological</span> problems...If I don't win, I'm ugly, fat, worthless etc...That all you are worth as a person are the physical aspects.</div><br /><div align="center">The flip side is that it could create confidence and self esteem. </div><br /><div align="center">Well now I have one, Laney Grace 2, and I have been trying to decide if I want to enter her into a beauty pageant. It looks like so much fun. I just don't know where to start. It's extremely expensive and time consuming from what I understand but some of the pageants offer cash prizes or savings bonds. </div><br /><div align="center">I have been doing some preliminary research and learned that not all pageants are the "glitzy" kind. I don't know, morally and ethically is this right? Am I a bad mom if I want my beautiful baby girl to be a beauty queen?</div><br /><div align="center">The picture above is from the movie Little Miss Sunshine, I've never seen it but I think I may rent it.

So here goes...<br /><br />25 random things about me...<br /><br />25. I never watch TV shows in real time...I hate commercials so I DVR and fast forward.<br />24. I have two jobs totally unrelated to one another<br />23. I sing so loud in the car that my kids tell me to be quite<br />22. I L-O-V-E avocados<br />21. For the past 3 months I haven't listened to anything but my Britney Spears Circus CD.<br />20. I saw a real live rodeo in Texas and it was awesome<br />19. I secretly wish that I was Rachael Ray...you know she's not even a real chef!<br />18. I have two gorgeous children only 15 months apart<br />17. I make meatloaf really well<br />16. I am obsessed with pictures of my kids. They are everywhere in my house even my bathroom<br />15. I attended 10 different schools from kindergarten through my Senior year<br />14. I have already sent and received 160 text messages from Jan 28 to today.<br />13. I don't drink Chardonnay anymore because just one glass gives me a headache.<br />12. Once I tried not eating meat because some book told me that I would lose weight...I went back to eating meat.<br />11. I tease my hair everyday to make it appear "puffier"<br />10. I miss my Dad and my Granny really bad<br />09. I have a weird obsession with party planning. I take it really seriously.<br />08. I am actually going to let Laney have a "Cinderella" party because that's what she says she wants.<br />07. You will always find a gallon of Milo's sweet tea in our fridge against my better judgement.<br />06. I haven't bought 1 single article of clothing since early January for two reasons 1. I don't have any money and 2. because I want to lose weight before I spend anymore money on clothes<br />05. I have a picture of a really skinny girl on my fridge to remind me not to open it unless it is just absolutely necessary.<br />04. I need a haircut again already<br />03. I envy organized people. I really wish I was more organized<br />02. If I won the lottery I would buy a hotel.<br />and the #1 most random thing about me is...<br />I actually watch Disney channel even when Jack and Laney aren't in the room. The Disney original movies are really cute.Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541078387145516899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953528463990256213.post-3735887978064592602009-02-03T08:55:00.000-06:002009-02-11T10:55:43.566-06:00iCooked...Man, I was so proud of myself Friday night. I made the best pasta and the even better part is that I just made it up. It wasent a frozen from a bag, heat it up kind of thing. It was just random ingredients that I had and cooked together. Jack and Laney Grace loved it. Justin did too!

Wouldn't life be so much simpler if people were just honest with themselves?<br /></div><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.abc.com/o/48c03031aee944c6/48ea6e6ae493435e/48c03031aee944c6/37d362f9/widget.js"></script>Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541078387145516899noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953528463990256213.post-33169930404294302772008-10-06T10:39:00.000-05:002008-10-06T13:55:17.163-05:00October already?<div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJzIWSIE4_KcVdjTAW_LMLGvMi1c02Pqq9E03IWIO5tJHi5PheD_HLGTEPYU6yB6Dtwc1mc3xED7SreA1AoSBUfGMNBS6FvuHO8z13y0KO93CSW5K41VelA2mz_qDSLhvI-WtE9zo2665/s1600-h/Fall.jpg"></a><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><strong>Don't forget that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. <br /></strong></span></div><div align="center"><a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/breast%20cancer%20awareness/McRoySon/Causes/Breast%20Cancer%20Awareness/BC6.gif?o=72" target="_blank"><img src="http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo343/McRoySon/Causes/Breast%20Cancer%20Awareness/BC6.gif" /></a><br /><br /></div><br /><br />I love the fall and last week I think I may have gotten a little over excited at the first crispness in the air. I actually believed that it may be "chilley" this past Saturday and I couldnt wait to be outside tailgaiting in the cool crisp weather, however, the one day I plan to do an outdoor activity was the hottest day of the week, clocking in at a mere 84 degrees. Im just one of those people that if it's fall its fall...not summer. Plus I love sweaters and turtlenecks and all of my favorite days are in the fall/winter season.

Jack recently stared "school" in August so we attended his first fall carnival. They had cotton candy and "jump things" as Jack call the inflatables, games...just all kinds of goodies. Laney Grace had alot of fun too. She even tried to go swimming in the "pick a duck" pool. She is too too cute.<br />Face painting was also fun. Jack chose an A for Alabama because we choose to raise him right. Laney liked the lady bug and was so still while they painted. Jack of course had to scratch his face so his art only lasted about 5 minutes. We had to literally drag Jack away kicking and screaming, but we were able to buffer the fit with Mexican Pood! One of his faves.<br />Hannah and I decided to take a girls trip downtown and met four gigantic rats in the parking lot....ABSOLUTELY disgusting. Hannah swears one was wearing a crown.<br /><br />Saturday was, yes, GAME DAY! ROLL TIDE! We had a couple of friends over for the game and ordered pizza and ate too much! Typical. How about the Tide just killing the Bulldogs...what a great game.<br /><br />Sunday was kinda lazy. We strolled the babies through the Galleria, Jack got some kind of Football man and Laney a Princess (Cinderella) Barbie. I ran into my dear friend Michelle...of whom I don't see near enough and caught up with her over ice cream. She is so funny. I love listening to her stories. Then it was home again home again to watch the season premier of Desperate Housewives...LOVE that show.<br />Who knows what this weekend will bring. Hopefully some cooler weather!</div>Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541078387145516899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953528463990256213.post-80896496987907121362008-09-25T05:18:00.000-05:002008-09-25T15:18:15.500-05:00Bloggers crampGetting this blog up and going has been a little more challenging than I anticipated. 1 year ago this month, I began blogging, inspired by a few good friends who had began blogs of there own. <br />I want this blog to be fun, entertaining and most of all theraputic for me, however, I just could'nt come up with a title for my blog that I really felt good about. Today, I have officaially renamed my blog and I kinda like it. <br /><br />I hope to begin tackeling this thing now. Adding pictures and stories and thoughts and ideas. I really look forward to it.Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541078387145516899noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953528463990256213.post-41499947927101074272008-09-23T10:59:00.000-05:002008-09-23T11:21:54.046-05:00Case Of the Monday'sMay I begin with, yes I know it's Tuesday but I dont know what you call it when you feel like its a Monday and its Tuesday. <br />I had s really rough day at work yesterday. Is there a such thing as a GREAT day at work? Im not so sure. I feel like I am being pulled in about 50 different directions and I continue to tread just to stay above water. Not to mention that trying to balance Husband, children, home and career is not the easiest task. I wonder sometimes if I should just cut work out<br />completely stay home with my children actually raise them myself...theres a concept. Then reality sets in...wow wait...what about money. You have to work....we need money. <br /><br />Life seems to be throwing curve balls right now, Im dodging them but they are barely missing me. <br /><br />I wish I new how to relax. I stay so tense and high strung. My mind races constantly. You hear<br />noone can help you unless you help your self. Im doing better but have actually developed a new quirk...I cant relax...or sit, stand, talk unless my house is clean and I find myself picking up constantly. With toddlers you can imagine that I spend most of my spare time doing this. <br />I just long to be in control of something...my husband, children, home or career. If there is one thing that I have learned and know in my sane mind is that none of these things can be controlled. You can only control you. So that's where Im going to start.Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541078387145516899noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953528463990256213.post-30998805958716091772008-09-08T14:14:00.000-05:002008-09-08T14:27:05.990-05:00Catching Up...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_A64SA1TMjXns1tjTzAxZFMTpZPFukLwTDuhfoCVKJjbNKSjMP0HDX0acJrPRHjHz3BgufQNBdHkCxbhDq9UFOnoPIHJtgp_0x6jxOT7lQN85O4FrB0CShdcyHA29w1VOjb3_Nq5MMMsT/s1600-h/Whits+ppictures.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243732616433495410" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_A64SA1TMjXns1tjTzAxZFMTpZPFukLwTDuhfoCVKJjbNKSjMP0HDX0acJrPRHjHz3BgufQNBdHkCxbhDq9UFOnoPIHJtgp_0x6jxOT7lQN85O4FrB0CShdcyHA29w1VOjb3_Nq5MMMsT/s320/Whits+ppictures.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEhSwc_jKn54WcEVI6CUX0_hTPBiK-aFA-7-m35GCOt5dH50KX7CBO-LYTE0uwYHwBMZE_jvu299pmX991q0pQ6yybnLMdNTBK-RrzrF4_KQoRS1vAIVV0UDKoGB6c03KjP6s3RSDtFJDD/s1600-h/Whits+ppictures+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243732477568862402" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEhSwc_jKn54WcEVI6CUX0_hTPBiK-aFA-7-m35GCOt5dH50KX7CBO-LYTE0uwYHwBMZE_jvu299pmX991q0pQ6yybnLMdNTBK-RrzrF4_KQoRS1vAIVV0UDKoGB6c03KjP6s3RSDtFJDD/s320/Whits+ppictures+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Wow...It has been almost an entire year since I last blogged.

I hit Moms beautiful new Passat this very morning. I know you all are probably wondering how it happened exactly...<br />Well, The oven at the Erickson home is on the fritz so she needed to prepare a covered dish for work so she came over to borrow my stove which I most graciously allowed her to do. I put Jack and Laney in the car and got ready to go. We said our good bye's and I put the car in reverse and that was all she wrote.<br />I dont know what I was thinking except that typically when I leave for work there is nothing behind me. What if that had been a child on a bike or an old lady taking her morning walk???<br />Very costly mistake$$$$$$$$<br />It scratched up the bumber of my new car and crushed the hood of Moms car. I cant believe I did it. :(Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541078387145516899noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953528463990256213.post-83518107061427112762007-08-13T11:23:00.000-05:002007-08-13T11:34:18.968-05:00"The One with the Cocktail Party"Well, More than likely if you are reading this blog you know that Randy, Hannah and I threw a cocktail party this past Saturday night in honor of Mom's birthday.<br />We had a great time.<br />Hannah and I thought that it would be alot of fun to make it a "theme party" but still classy so...we decided that we would have everyone dress in "black and white" cocktail attire...well, we just assumed people would know what that meant...they didnt. We should have listened to Justin, who told us that people are not going to do it...He kept teasing telling us he was going to pick up his tux from the cleaners...<br />It was okay though.<br />Randy agreed to fix everyone their first drink and then they were on there own...It wasent necessary to go for the second as Randy was a little heavy on the Grey Goose.
