Busy Busy Busy!

We have been so busy! I have some catching up to do. Lets go back to last weekend and then we will talk about this week and weekend. Last Friday night we went to Courtneys with some friends for dinner (April and Derrick- their kids were with her parents for the weekend), after dinner we came home and I got all my scrapbook stuff and headed over to April's house to scrap. I wasnt my normally self. I started my diet on Monday Sept 10th and it made me sluggish for about a week trying to get adjusted. So I didnt get as much done as I would have liked. I was home by 12:30. Saturday Bricen and I went shopping to get him some new shoes. That evening we went over to Wes and Amy's for dinner. Sunday we went to church and then Bricen and I took a great long nap while Albert worked on 4-wheelers. After nap time we went over to Wes and Amy's and we rode our 4-wheelers. The guys got KFC for dinner and we came back on so I could eat chicken and veggies. Albert's parents came over to see us and that was our weekend. We had a busy week. Albert had a fire meeting Monday evening, Amy, April and myself went out to dinner Wednesday night and went shopping at Target. We had a great time. Thursday my dad and I had to go to Walmart to get all our stuff for the car show. Then Friday we took Bricen and Champ to the football game. We meet Wes, Amy, Sage and Marli for dinner at the middle school. The band had their BBQ fundraiser. Bricen spent the night with his Gran and Granna ( my parents). I had to get up early Saturday and head to town the set up for the car show. Century 21 had a booth and I was responsible for getting everything together and set up. I left there and had to head straight home. I had Jane coming to do pottery from 10-4. I had 18 moms bring their kids to do pottery. Everyone had a 20 minute appointment. I am so excited about all the stuff and I can't wait to get it back! After everyone left Bricen and I picked up and took a deep breath. We headed over to Amy's to eat supper and let the boys play. Wes and Albert had been riding 4-wheelers all day and I had fixed a crock-pot of chili beans so we had a nice evening. Once the guys got home we came home. We got up this morning and Bricen didnt get to go to church since he has a bad runny nose and cough. He was very upset he had to miss church. I left the boys at home and went. After I got home from church we ate lunch and then the boys got to take a nap. I had a house warming party for a client and then a drop in at the church for the new intern and his wife and the missionaries that are here from Mexico. After I got home I cooked supper and we had a nice evening at home. Have a great week!

Choo Choo

We left yesterday morning and headed to Boone! We got in some traffic due to the football game. We stopped for lunch and then we headed to the house. Uncle Doug and Aunt Georgia have a beautiful house and they let us stay there last night. Bricen fell asleep 5 minutes before we got to their house yesterday afternoon. We carried him in and he and I had a great nap while Albert relaxed and watched TV. After our naps we went for a ride. We went to Mountain City TN and we found a great place to go ride 4-wheelers sometime. Its not to far from Doug and Georgia's house so hopefully we will plan another trip to ride 4-wheelers. We stopped at this great pizza place for dinner and after dinner we headed back to the house. We had a nice relaxing time in the hot tub then we got out and got Bricen ready for bed and after he was in bed Albert and I got to enjoy it with out Bricen splashing us and him trying to drink the water.



We got up this morning and we went to Tweetsie. We got there around 10 AM we rode the train first of course. Bricen loved the cowboys and indians. He thought that was the coolest. After the train ride we headed up to the top of the mountain and we went to the deer park and we feed the goats, deer an imus. We then rode the rides. Then we stopped long enought to grab a bite to eat and back to the rides we went. Of course we had to ride the train one more time before we left and this time the cowboy gave Bricen a shell from his gun and he thought that was so neat. After the ride we went into the gift shop to buy Bricen a toy and he picked out a Tweetsie wooden train set that he can play with on his rail road. We headed home around 2 PM. Bricen was wore out and he slept for 20 minutes on the way home. Yes thats right 20 minutes. He woke up when we had to stop at a stop light. We had a great time and he is in bed and he fell right to sleep at 8:30. Night Night Choo Choo!

New side job!!

Like a really need anything else to do right? I stay really busy with everything already but I have decided to try to make a little spending money. So today when a friend and I went to the mall I decided to buy $100 worth of the Ralph Lauren Polos to sell on ebay. I only paid $7 and $8 a piece for the little boys polos. So I am going to get my money back out and use the money I make to buy more and turn it around so I can start saving for my shopping trips. I would love to have an extra $100 a month to go shopping and not feel guilty at all for doing it. I will let you know how it turns out!


After the mall we went and took the kids to Chucky Cheese. We had a good time!!


I came home and listed all my items on ebay and worked on real estate at the same time. I had a busy afternoon.


We went to dinner with Wes, Amy, Sage and Marli at Courtney's and then we went back to their house and the boys got to play for a little while. We had a nice evening. We are leaving in the morning to go to Boone and will spend the night tomorrow night. We are either going to Tweetsie tomorrow or Sunday.

GYMBOREE!!

I went to the mall in Pineville tonight and I racked up!! I love Gymboree for winter clothes. They have the cutest sweaters and shirts for little boys. Everything is Half off and I had a coupon for an additional 20% entire purchase. So I got $400 worth of clothes for $160. I got a couple of shirts at Children's Place there clothes are 40% off and two Polo shirts from Dillards for $20. I am telling you this is a good time to go shopping for fall!!! I was very pleased. Bricen's closet is complete thanks to Amy and my shopping spree. My mom went with me and they give us money to buy clothes for Bricen at Christmas and she has given it to us early every year so we can get a deal when we see one so she bought the majority of the clothes. Thanks Granna!!

First Day of Mother's Morning Out!

Bricen started his first day of Mother's Morning out. He will be going three days a week. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. He has been so excited! It was harder on me today than him. He didnt cry! He was very excited for me to leave him. It's just so hard to believe that my baby is old enough to go somewhere beside his Granna's house. It will be so good for him. He told us he had made some new friends. There are 4 boys and 9 girls. There theme for this month is transportation. I asked him after I picked him up if he sang any songs and he told me yes and I asked about what and he told me a choo choo. So he knew what I was asking and he was right. I took tons of pictures so here are a few to share. Bricen is excited about going back on Thursday.

Bricen picked out his book bag. He was really excited to have it. Can you tell?

Trip to the Store!

Last weekend Bricen heard Albert telling me what I needed to get at the grocery store. Well after I returned Bricen put Albert's shoes on and told us he would be back in a little bit. He was going to the grocery store to get steak and toothpaste. It was so cute! He is so smart. That was two of the things he heard Albert tell me to get.

Labor Day!

We have had a great Labor Day! We slept in this morning and then I had to go to work for a little while. The boys cleaned up the dirty 4-wheelers from our muddy weekend! I stopped by the grocery store on the way home to get stuff for supper. Wes came over about 1:30 and he and Albert tore his 4-wheeler apart to do some work on it. After the kids naps Amy brought Sage and Marli over. The boys had a great time outside. They both wanted to ride Bricen's tractor and then they got Sage's 4-wheeler out of Wes' truck then they both wanted to ride that. They were so cute. When one would get off to get something the other would be watching and they would take off to see who could get to the 4-wheeler or the tractor the fastest. Bricen got to ride his 4-wheeler and he and Sage rode around the yard and had a blast. We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and had a great time!

Bricen and I packed his book bag for his first day at Mothers Morning out tomorrow! He is really excited!

Clemson and Florida State are playing tonight and Bricen was all into wanting to see the Tiger before he went to bed. Bricen likes pretending to be the tiger. He was unable to see the tiger but we are taping the game so we can show him the tiger tomorrow. It's an awesome game and all I can say is GO TIGERS!!!

New Real Estate Advertising!

Well even get down and dirty for ya!

4-Wheeling!

We just got back from Georgia. Albert, Pressley and I went for a day trip to Broad River ATV. We had a great time! Bricen stayed with Albert's parents Papa and Nona and we got to go enjoy a little time away. This was my 3rd trip and this was the BEST yet. The trails were great! Albert has gotten big into riding and I don't get to go as much but he loves for me to go when I can. He made arrangements for Bricen so that I could go. I talked Albert and Pressley into go to California Dreaming for dinner. My #1 all time favorite resturant. While we were at dinner Pressley gave me the best compliment he said he enjoyed today because I am not a complainer!! I thought that was pretty good. We really did have a great time and we are making plans to go back in October for a nice long weekend. They have cabins onsite and they look really nice. Can't wait until October 12th!
