BOY DOES THE TIME FLY!

IT'S BEEN A MONTH AND A DAY SINCE I LAST BLOGGED. WOW! THERE IS NO WAY I CAN POSSIBLY REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST MONTH BUT I WILL TRY TO REMEMBER A LITTLE SO I CAN CAPTURE SOMETHING FOR THE MEMORIES.
WE HAD JOSH AND ALICIA'S WEDDING! WE HAD A GREAT TIME SETTING UP AND GETTING READY FOR THE WEDDING ON FRIDAY. THEN WE WENT TO SUPPER AT MARKET STREET AND THEN TO THE CHURCH FOR EVERYONE TO PRACTICE AND I WAS BUSY TAKING PICTURES. WE HAD THE WEDDING ON SATURDAY AND BRICEN STAYED WITH MY MOM SO WE DIDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CHASING AFTER HIM SINCE I WAS TAKING PICTURES AND ALBERT WAS AN USHER. WE WENT TO NEIL'S FOR THE AFTER PARTY AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME! WE DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING AND THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME GREAT PICTURES SINCE I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE TAKING PICTURES AND I TOOK AROUND 800 BETWEEN FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.
MOTHER'S DAY WAS THE SECOND WEEKEND. I HAD TO WORK ON SATURDAY AT OUR SUBDIVISION LAUREN PINES THAT WE ARE TRYING TO PROMOTE AND MY BOYS TREATED ME TO DINNER AT THE LONG HORN AND MY PARENTS WENT WITH US TOO. THATS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO. I LOVE IT!
SUNDAY WE WENT TO CHURCH AND THEN TO MY MOMS FOR LUNCH. WE WENT HOME AND RESTED AND WE HAD OUR FAMILIES OVER AFTER SUPPER FOR ICE CREAM AND DESSERT. IT WAS A GREAT MOTHER'S DAY! IT WILL BE ONE I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER. BRICEN HAD A LITTLE ARRANGMENT OF FLOWERS FOR ME AT CHURCH THAT HE GAVE ME. SITTING AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE HE GAVE ME HIS PRESENT HE MADE FROM SCHOOL. IT WAS THE BEST PRESENT EVER. HE MADE ME A NECKLACE, AND HAD PLANTED ME A LITTLE FLOWER AT SCHOOL, HE HAD MY HANDPRINTS AND HIS HANDPRINTS THAT THEY HAD MADE AT SCHOOL WITH A CUTE MOTHER'S DAY SAYING AND THEY HAD HIM ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS MOMMY AND THAT PIECE OF PINK PAPER WAS THE BEST!!!! IT WAS ADORABLE. HE ALSO GAVE ME SOME AZALEAS FOR THE YARD. ALBERT SAID WE WANTED TO GET YOU FLOWERS BUT THOUGHT THESE WOULD LAST A LOT LONGER. SUITED ME IT WASNT A WASTE OF MONEY. THEY ALSO GOT ME SOME OTHER FLOWERS FOR THE YARD AS WELL. ALBERT HAD TO MAKE SURE HE REMINDED ME THAT I GOT AN EXENSIVE GIFT FOR VALENTINES DAY THAT NEEDED TO CARRY OVER. IF YOU DONT REMEMBER IT WAS THE FLASH AND THE SMALL CAMERA BAG FOR MY CAMERA. I WAS TICKLED PINK WITH WHAT I GOT AND COULD HAVE CARED LESS IF THEY HADN'T BOUGHT ME A THING. HONESTLY WHAT BRICEN GAVE ME FROM WHAT HE MADE AT SCHOOL WAS THE BEST GIFT I HAD EVER GOTTEN! IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT ARE SO MEANINGFUL. I HONESTLY CAN'T REMEMBER SOME OF THE THINGS I HAVE GOTTEN BUT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW MEANINGFUL THIS MOTHER'S DAY WAS NOW THAT HE HAS GOTTEN OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON.
THE THIRD WEEKEND ALBERT AND I WENT TO GEORGIA FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY TRIP. WE GOT A NEW RHINO FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY AND WE LEFT BRICEN WITH MY PARENTS AND WE WENT CAMPING AND TO RIDE THE RHINO. WE LEFT ON FRIDAY AND CAME BACK ON SUNDAY. WE HAD A BLAST AND WE HAD A COUPLE OF FRIENDS COME JOIN US JUST FOR THE DAY ON SATURDAY AND THEY RODE THEIR 4-WHEELERS. IT WAS NICE TO GET AWAY SO WE HAD SOME ALONE TIME THAT WE GOT TO ENJOY WITH EACH OTHER WITHOUT BRICEN GETTING JEALOUS.
THIS PAST WEEKEND WAS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. WE WENT TO CHURCH AND THEN TO MY PARENTS FOR LUNCH FOR MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY. THAT AFTERNOON WE WENT TO OUR OLD HOUSE AND RODE 4-WHEELERS WITH OUR FRIENDS AND THE KIDS AND WE GRILLED HOTDOGS. WE HAD A CAMPFIRE AND ALBERT, BRICEN AND I CAMPED IN THE TRAILER THAT NIGHT. IT WAS BRICEN'S FIRST CAMPING EXPERIENCE AND HE REALLY ENJOYED IT. HE KEEPS ASKING IF WE CAN GO AGAIN. (WE ARE FOR FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND AND WE CAN'T WAIT!)WE GOT UP ON MONDAY MORNING AND HAD PANCAKES AND BACON AND THEN WE RODE THE RHINO FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND WE TOOK HIM OVER TO THE SCHOOL TO PLAY. WE PACKED UP AND HEADED HOME AROUND LUNCH TIME. IT WAS A GREAT RELAXING WEEKEND!
MONDAY WAS OUR 7TH ANNIVERSARY. TIMES REALLY GOES BY SO FAST. WE ENJOYED OUR DAY AT HOME AND WE WENT OVER TO THE GILLESPIES FOR SUPPER AND TO SWIM.
TODAY THURSDAY MAY 29TH- WE HAD BRICEN'S LAST DAY OF PRESCHOOL PROGRAM. ALBERT AND I WENT AND ATE LUNCH WITH HIM AND THEY GOT THEIR CERTIFICATES. IT WAS A LITTLE SAD FOR ME THAT THE YEAR WENT BY SO FAST. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY JUST STARTED YESTERDAY AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW FAST IT GOES BY HE WILL BE STARTING KINDERGARTEN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.
I WILL ADD PICTURES LATER ON FOR THE PAST MONTH. SO THIS ONE WAS A LONG ONE JUST TRYING TO CATCH UP!
