This is how we roll...or just another Iphone Pic post!

I am well aWare that this post is boring to some but, this is how we roll during the week!  Harry did his first little service in church service on Sunday night!  I was so proud, he just picked up cards but, it is kind of big deal to me! He was a natural and acted like it was no biggie!

 These next few are just because we think she is so cute! This child is very hard to NOT like!

 Pool and Tacos with our pals the Matherlys!  Good times with our friends as always!

 Park with the McMahans on another day!  The days run together in the summer...not sure which day! Georgia Kelley loves playing ice cream station!

 Lots of love for Lincoln!

 She kept these glasses on the entire time we were at Sams!  Harry is being goofy!

 You know GK loves books more than anything or one and look who is reading to her!

 They were making me "Bowtiful"!

 I am having a lot of fun with Harry's food! Don't tell him I told you this but, he really eats more healthy stuff when it looks cool!

 Good times with Maddox and Cruz!  My kids love this family....so do we!

 The Help was wonderful as everyone says!  The book was more detailed but, it was wonderful! I am still not a fan of the end! 

 Pool and Pops....

 make you very tired!  Their interpretation of the Princess and the Pea!

 We attended the coolest pirate party of one of Harry's friends! This mom had carved watermelons in to the theme! She had the coolest treasure hunts and the kids went nuts over the pinada!  It was a blast! 

 Party Number 2 with Harry's friend Owen!  Bowling, Pizza, Cake and Friends...what more can you ask for?

 Game night with our friends...can you guess who won?  The GIRLS!!

 Harry helps me get the classroom ready on Sunday mornings!  He is getting so big!

 Hunting for turtles are things little boys like that I sacrifice to do!

 We also have the "luxury" of living walking distance to a Sonic and ice cream is not longer a treat but a right!

 More dance photos!

 Georgia Kelley showing her sticker to Harry! 

 The museum in town is getting so big!  We love going to see it!

 Ms Mallory's 2nd Party!  Georgia Kelley started liking Elmo after going to this! She has been talking about him!

 Cousin LOVE!

Our Little Dancer

Georgia Kelley started dance classes this week! When I say "our" little dancer, I mean OUR! Harry talked about it all day before her class and told her about what she would be doing what she would wear! He was so excited for her! I have been excited since I had a little girl to watch her dance in the sweet outfits! I am a sucker for a little girl in ballet gear! Chad even sent me messages to remind me to take pictures and videos!  The whole family was excited and I just knew she would get there and not do anything! I was WRONG!  She loved it! It is a Mommy and Me class and so I was with her and she did everything she was suppose to! She told me to twirl and then cheered for me afterwards!  She loved it! 

 I have a few pics on my phone of her actually dancing but, you can't really tell! When I figure out a fast way to download videos to blogger, I will be blowing this blog up! 

Our happy dancer!

Whose the Man? Ware's the Man!!

Okay, I am getting cheesey with my titles but, better than predictable!  Well if you didn't know, Chad got inducted in to Springdale High School's Hall of Fame! Chad is so low key and would never make a big deal about it and to be frank I am the ONLY person he has told!  I on the other hand have no accomplishments worth bragging about so, I will just go ahead and share his! He is very worthy of this title for his basketball and academic accomplishments. He holds Sprindale's highest scorer record and has a zillion awards from high school and college! Many people have great athletic ability and hard work but, my Chad also has integrity! It is one of my favorite things about him! He is not a lover of money, fame, or any recognition; he is kind to EVERYONE no matter who they are and he is super smart! I could go on about how wonderful he is but, I am sure if you have read my blog at all you have inferred it with the way he is with his family. We are all crazy about him!  My grandmother was probably one of his biggest fans! I wish so badly she could have seen and heard about this. He, nor I expected this banquet to be a very big deal but, we excited to see the large crowd (like 300 people) and set up.  We had a photo of the whole family there but, the photographer has it! Chad's entire family came except his two grandmothers.  My parents came and were big supporters as well. I laugh because Dad  knew so many people there! His old high school coach was getting inducted and there were a ton of coaches there! Coaching is a small world! 

 Harry was a bit disappointed Chad didn't get a trophy! He said he just got a picture of it(not sure what "it" is).

 Chad with another inductee he played ball with and his former high school coach!  We love Coach Smith, such a nice guy who loves his players.

 Another very special surprise was  the Morgans there! Coach Morgan and his wife, Christy came to support Chad! We also love the Morgans!  He is the Harding coach and we have kept in touch with them since we have been married! They were at our wedding and I love talking to Christy!  We feel beyond blessed that they are still our friends after coaching Chad in college.

 Precious Brooklyn was very good at keeping Harry company! I kind of wish everyone in the world could get time around Brooklyn, she makes the world happier!

 Chad's last minute speech that was AMAZING!  I was so proud of his speaking skills! 

 Jeff is also a very special friend to our family! Chad spoke about how big of an influence Jeff had on him in high school.  He invested a whole summer into working Chad out and getting him ready for the varsity team.

 Afterwards we swung by the Ware's for a little Ricks!  I told Chad  I was so glad he got in the hall of fame so we could get celebration cake!  Chad's mom is very good about making special occasions even more special!  She appreciates the "sweet" things in life!

I am sure I will have more pictures to post but, this is all I have now!  Not trying to show off, just documenting and giving a little recognition to an honor that is not so easy to come by! I went to a high school with 1/6th of what Chad's was and I am probably forgotten...well expect for Facebookers!

Ware You At?

So, I am so often getting asked what I do all day because I am a "SAHM" which is really not very accurate since I do work a part time job. I teach at the collegiate level and I absolutely LOVE it! I teach Emergent Literacy, Middle Level Literacy, Children's Literature, and some COM classes. I also am supervising student teachers for my alma mater! It works out perfectly for this family of four but, at times it has been a little crazy during the swtich from mom to dad!  I love it because I love teaching! I really feel like I am where God wants me and that in itself is very fulfilling!  So during the day we wake up and usually hit the gym. I give the gym one hour of my kid's time. I probably should go more often but, really I only make it about four times a week...sometimes less.  The rest of the day is spent outside..yes even in this hot weather! It has not slowed my kids down!  We hit up the park early usually on "no gym" days and always the pool!  I am going to just going to phrase the description of hte rest of my Iphone pics. I get so bored describing what is in a picture.  Also, I just synced my phone and I had 750 pictures/videos on my phone since my last sync...that was not too long ago.

 My parents took Harry and his cousins to Magic Springs three weekends in a row!  Harry ate it up!  I have good folks!

 I don't know about the rest of the mommy world but I do not shop any since I have had two! I don't online shop and I rarely make it to the mall.  I was in desperate need and this is how I managed for an hour!  I would also like to thank the stores where sales clerks are sweet to my kids and acknowledge that I am not in an ideal situation.  Not looking for sympathy just patience.

 Movie day with the fam...and Tutu!

 Interesting sequel to such a wonderful kid movie!  Chad and I LOVEd it....

 

So Harry got the coolest invitation to a pirate party EVER! The little boy dropped it by our house! It was a bottle with a cork and you pulled it out and a invitation was in it! The bottle also had jewels, sea shells, and sand!  So cool!

Grilling with our neighbors!  I have really really great ones!

 Some other neighbors moved in and my kids are in heaven with them! They have two teen girls and a son! Super great babysitters and so close!

 Some mornings are just for donuts!

 We loved our friends coming to visit us at the pool!  We had it all to ourselves!

 Found a very hoppity frog!

 Chad has been back playing a little leisurely bball!  He played with our town's boys team the other night and Georgia Kelley was cheering! It must be in some girls DNA just automatically clap and cheer!

 Some mornings are for fun breakfasts!  Harry portrait!

 Georgia Kelley portrait!

 Shady!

 Some kids hug the cow, mine son tries to beat it up by punching it a zillion times! So embarrassing!

 The birthday girl and Harry!

 First Friday was hosted by Nickelodeon!  It was a ball!

 A quick trip to the park while the wind was blowing!

 A butterfly followed us home and landed on Harry's bike!

Just a few things in our week that have happened!  So many other special times that didn't get pictured and I so hope not forgotten!  I feel like I forget these sweet moments so quickly! Is there a pill for that?
