Bill Nye - watch out!

Corbin placed 2nd in the Oak Ridge science fair. We were so proud of him. He received a 50 Visa card - which he has already spent. His teacher received 50 gift card, as well. Way to go Corbin!

Happy 8th bday Allie - continued

Allie's bday continued

Allie's 8th birthday party!

Allie turned 8 today! She wanted a sleepover party. I was a little skeptical at first, but all the girls were good. They didn't sleep much, and Allie was very whiny the next day. But overall, it was a huge success. 11 girls came to the party, but only 7 spent the night. They made t-shirts, played, lim

bo, played the bow on a ballerina, and had numerous dance contests. Eric laughed so much at them.
They knocked on our door at 12 and said they thought we had a ghost in our house. Corbin's ceiling fan would turn and then stop. Ha. They were convinced. Eric inspected and found out that when the air kicked on - the vent blowed and made it turn. Then they all had to go to the bathroom. If one girl goes, they all go. Happy birthday Allie! We love you and are so proud of you. You are beautiful, fun, smart, and have a good heart. We are so glad and blessed that you are our little girl!

Valentine's Day 2012

Eric sent me flowers the Friday before Valentine's Day. He knew he would be out of town on Valentine's Day and didn't want to forget. They were beautiful. I was thankful and know I am blessed.

Allie loved the rainbow roses. She wanted me to take a picture up close of them. ha!

Terrific Thursday!

I have a love/hate relationship with my little dog. He is so cute, but so mean. I though having him fixed would cure him, but I think it has made him worse. I hope one of us survives! My kids love him so I can't give him away. We have spent too much money on him, as well.

I know my bed is not made. Someday, I will be neat and organized one day! I guess when C and A move out of the house!

My little Ballerina!

Allie has ballet and jazz class on Monday right after school. We have to rush to get there, but it is so worth it. She has always loved dancing, and she is pretty good at it. Today was parents' day. We got to sit in the class and watch them. I was so proud of how much she has learned.

Saturday at the mall

C and A have been so good lately helping me out since Eric is traveling. They have been doing their chores and homework without me harassing them! So we took them to the mall Saturday and let them get something. Allie wanted a Build A Bear. She has 50, but always room for more. C wanted a new video game. The Build A Bear was so much cheaper! They even let me take their picture together without much fighting. They both had friends spend the night Friday night. I was concerned about having 4 kids in the house, but they were perfect. The boys played in C's room, and the girls stayed in A's room. Eric and I even got to watch the big, nice TV in the living room. Perfect!
