It's About Edwards

Just what I asked for....

2011-12-26T09:54:00.001-05:00

Merry Christmas! Each of us is different in what we ask for, what fills our heart or needs for the holiday. For me it is a time that my family comes together. Nothing makes me happier than when my house is full with family and friends. Carl and Cierra will be joining our family "offically" in 2012 and this is, I guess, our first family photo. Now, given that this is Christmas morning, Dallas and I have had only a couple hours of sleep and Aaron is wearing a skeleton shirt, this will not make it on the wall in an 8x10 glossy, but it is a picture that I will cherish. So, this is the picture of my Merry Christmas.

Boldly go where no man has gone before.

TEAM EDWARDS ROCKS!!

2011-03-30T21:50:00.006-04:00

SATURDAY WAS AN UNBEATABLE DAY!

Saturday was Derby Day for the Scouts in Amelia County. It was our first time at the Derby. Aaron and his Dad cut, sanded, painted and adjusted for weeks. It seemed like each night they would plan or work on this car. It turned out to be a Red Rocket. #7 was unbeatable on Saturday. Dee and Pop were much needed support. Way to Go Guys! I am proud of you!

Aaron was awarded "Fastest Car Sitting Still".

He won 1st place for the Bears Division
and then raced in the finals and won 1st overall.

Busy ~ Busy ~ Busy

2011-03-06T22:22:00.005-05:00

Aaron and Dallas have been busy lately. Aaron joined the Scouts last fall and now that Spring is here, they have been working hard on their Father-Son projects. First was the Blue and Gold Banquet and the Annual Cake Bake and Auction. I am proud to report that my guys took one of the first place spots for their cake. They proved to be Most Scout Like. There were lots of great cakes. All were auctioned off and proceeds went to support our troop.

Next is the Pinewood Derby. Man~I had no idea how serious this thing is. Let's hope that their efforts pay off. Our block of wood has been designed, cutout, sanded and painted. We are a few weeks out from the race. Wish us luck!

A White Christmas Afterall

2010-12-25T20:31:00.003-05:00

Well the Edwards family has counted our blessings, sang our favorite holiday songs, and stuffed ourselves with all good foods that mean Christmas to us. You can see the skirt under the Christmas tree and the house is very quiet right now (even the dogs are asleep). It is snowing outside and everything is covered in white. A pretty view from where I am sitting at my kitchen table.

Dallas and I feel very fortunate to have been able to give our children a few gifts today. Nothing too elaborate, a few toys and gadgets, books and clothes, but still we find ourselves very lucky.

We wish our friends and other family members that may read this, a Very Merry Christmas and a New Year that brings you God's blessings, good health and happiness.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

After All This Time.....

2010-10-09T17:04:00.000-04:00

I was walking through the woods behind the house the other day and this was sticking up in the leaves - this eye staring up at me from beneath the leaves. Kindof weird that I would bring this thing out with me - but to a few of us in the Edwards family - this is a very special item. It's BUBBA'S FROG! Our old black lab loved this frog. Big Dallas chopped it up accidentally with the riding mower. Bubba seemed dissappointed to find him damaged but still carried that frog around in his mouth. It was not allowed inside and was usally found on the front porch. If it wasn't, all you would have to say is "Bubba, where's your frog?" and he would run off and get it. He seemed to always know where it was. Bubba got old and getting around was tough for him. One day, the frog just dissappeared.

Now that he has been found, he is back on the porch - seemed that is where he belonged.
Welcome home.

Oh Shoot ~ Summer's over ~Glad we had fun!

2010-09-16T12:49:00.022-04:00

We visited with the NoVa Wades, played in the Sound,

We went to the

County Fair Bible School Tested out our new tent.

and Played in the Pool ~~ SPLASH!~~

This summer passed by fairly quickly. We fit alot in this year ~ I guess we look forward to a good start to the school year, crisp fall, mild winter and early spring! Who's with me on that?

Love you - Scout's honor!

Out with the Old - In with the New!

2010-06-06T21:06:00.007-04:00

It was tough not to have AC in the jeep, but being left on the side of the road was the straw that broke Megan's pocketbook. Old Red has finally been retired. Red has been Megan's tank, skating thru fields with ease, transporting her to and from college, and safely up and down 360 day after day. After all they had an understanding, Red would make it to 200,000 miles. I think she was just tired.

Last week I received a phone call from Megan -she was stranded at work. She was mad! She was done! I saw it coming. Dad came and got Old Red going again. A new battery and another bandaid was not enough.

On Memorial Day, while others were enjoying a day at the pool, beach or by the grill, I was car shopping with Megan. We went from lot to lot until.....she fell in love..... with her shiny new ride. Check out Meg and her Honda Civic.

Summertime Fun.

2010-06-05T13:34:00.003-04:00

Our first week of Summer 2010 has been fun. Megan took the jump and bought a new car. She is in heaven. She has spent years of driving whatever was in the driveway or the car no one else wanted. Done with all of that - she loves her new Honda Civic.

Aaron and I went to visit the NOVA Wades for little Lauryn's 3rd birthday. Hanging out with the cousins is so much fun.

More to follow.....

Worth Every Penny

2010-05-02T17:22:00.005-04:00

A day of racing was just what this family needed. I don't claim to understand how it all works. These two are my resident race fans. Aaron has been a fan of #48-Jimmy Johnson for a few years now. Dallas has gone from Davey Allison to Ernie Irvin to Dale Jarrett and has not settled on since Dale retired. I like anyone but Jeff Gordon.

Now that Aaron is old enough to follow the sport a bit more, he has figured out that when the race was in Richmond - that means "our Richmond" - close enough to go! Kids just dont get that tickets for these races are not only hard to come by, but are extremely expensive. RIR has a new family section, which was just what we needed. We packed our camping grill and plenty to food and drinks for the day and off we went.

Aaron was star struck - his mouth hung open from the moment we pulled into the lot. "WOW! THIS IS COOL! - DON'T YOU THINK THIS IS COOL, MOM?" I heard this over and over. Priceless! I got my money's worth within the first ten minutes.

We took in all that we could and won some pretty cool stuff along the way. Aaron's driver did not win, but he was just glad to be there and watch the whole 400 laps. From the National Anthem and the fly over to the burnout - he LOVED IT!

Don't you just love SPRING!

2010-04-24T12:48:00.011-04:00

This past Winter was tough for me. I like the chill of winter and I love to see it snow but after a while - I needed to see a little green. It seemed I was indoors from the middle of December thru the end of February. Too long for me. It just reassured me that I need to live no farther North or West than Amelia, VA.

I have finally packed away the scarfs and gloves and refuse to put on a heavy coat until October. Bring on the warmer temps and sunshiny days!!

As soon as the annuals hit the shelves at Lowes, I bought flat after flat and scattered them around my flower beds. Anything for a little color. Now that April is here, my flowerbeds are waking up and are starting to bloom. I have taken a few pictures before this weekend's thunderstorms mess up the blooms.

Enjoy!

He's Offically OLD AS DIRT

2010-04-24T11:16:00.008-04:00

It was almost like a secret mission. It's not easy to plan a party for your husband much less put it together right under his nose. I learned that Dallas goes through each day unaware of things around him - Is he completely oblivious or just a trusting soul.

Megan was in charge of decorations. Dallas Jr. was the diversion, the one that needed to keep him away from the house all day.. Mom helped with the table-scapes and food. Jason pulled out his yummy Mac and Cheese and Beans (2 sep. dishes) and I hoarded drinks and party supplies in the trunk of my car. The day of the party, things went off as planned. Whew!!

We celebrated Dallas' 50th birthday with friends and family. Thanks again to everyone that helped me pull this together. Dallas was surprised and enjoyed sharing a day with those that he loves.

POP was supposed to be watching him!!!

2010-01-18T15:37:00.001-05:00

So Aaron had the day off from school and Nana offered to watch him for the day. GREAT IDEA - he can sleep in, relax, get spoiled...perfect! Well, Nana went to the grocery store leaving Aaron with Pop. BAD IDEA! While working, I get this e-mail from Pop - he can't find Aaron! Then a nevermind - found him - he was outside in the top of a tree!!!! What!!! Top of the Tree?

This picture was attached. Boys! and we thought only the little ones got into trouble. Pop's gonna get it when Nana gets home!

Go Daddy Go!!!

2010-01-14T13:40:00.003-05:00

I was so impressed with my Parents this morning I wanted to share what they sent to me.
Thanks for the Birthday wishes. You two are the best anyone could ask for in parents. I love you - many muchess too and all!

LOOK WHO IS 8 !!!

2009-12-29T21:06:00.000-05:00

Aaron turned 8 on December 27th. Hard for me to believe.
Aaron is such a blessing to me. He is a whole lot of his daddy with a touch of his momma (me).
He talks alot (just like Megan) and is always full of questions. He likes to push buttons, take things apart and build legos(like Dee).
Aaron is kind hearted, smart and considerate.

Truly one of my most precious blessings. He came into my life and completed our family circle. He connected us.
Love you Aaron!! Many muches too and all!

BIG MOMMA! - NOT ME THE FROG!

2009-10-23T21:11:00.003-04:00

She hung around all Spring and Summer and now with Fall coming our way, we hope that she will hang around. I cannot imagine how big she will get~~ This frog has run away from us all season. She dives into the pond when we come close - but finally the time came to prepare the pond for winter and we CAUGHT HER!!!! She was SO mad. She grunted and barked at us. It was really something.

She is filling both of my hands here. It is the biggest frog I have ever seen. We named her Big Momma. She threw many a pool party with her friends this summer. Those rainy nights were very loud. We had lots of opportunities to collect tadpoles and watch them grow their legs.

She made our little garden pond really fun.

Now that's a Water Slide!!!

2009-08-19T12:21:00.001-04:00

WHAT FUN! At Jason's we were up early and outside playing on the water slide by 9:00 am. Aaron could not believe how HUGE this slide was. He is use to the sprinkler he has to play in at home. The kids played until the we made them stop. Even Nana and Aunt Tracy joined in the fun and went down the big slide.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOTH OF YOU!

2009-08-02T22:45:00.002-04:00

As they get older, I have to find time to fit into their busy schedule. One way to get them to come home and be together is to tempt them with food! So we made a date to celebrate their 24th and 23rd birthdays and eat until we were stuffed. This year's choice was Ribs and Chicken on the grill. Brownies replaced the usual birthday cakes and birthday wishes topped things off. Nana and Pop joined in the fun. I was tired but felt complete with my family together. Time flies by - the past 20 years with Megan and Dee certainly have. Love you kids. Thanks for giving me my favorite job - Your Mom!

It Bloomed!

2009-07-25T18:33:00.003-04:00

So my pond is a year old and I still enjoy it so much. It's a lot of work but is so calming after a busy day. I look forward to working on it on Saturday morning. This morning, I had a bit of a present! The lilly pad that I started from a tuber this spring bloomed. I have been told that this bloom will only last a day or two, so I am glad that I got the be home to enjoy it.

NEED I SAY MORE?

2009-07-08T13:24:00.000-04:00

Gone Fishing!

2009-06-08T22:40:00.007-04:00

So, Nana calls and says that she found something fun to do at the State Park.
Early Saturday morning, we were going fishing. Sounds fun but I had never done this.

My friend Paula could not believe that I had never taken my seven year old son fishing. Shame on me. He did not even have his own fishing pole.
Well, she fixed that. She arrived a few hours later sporting a bright blue and red Spiderman fishing pole.
Stacie rigged it up with bobber and weight and we were ready to go.
I had lots of instructions about baiting the hook, casting and reeling in our big catch. I had the supplies, the pole, the rag, the glove, bug spray, the hand wipes, the chair, our lunch and some drinks. (Forgot the sunscreen and the baseball hat.)
We are off. When we got to Nana's ....Pop had decided to go!
Thank goodness and Thank GOD for Grandfathers.
Nana and I quickly became spectators to a guys pastime. How wonderful!!
Oh Yeah - We did not catch a THING!!

Weekend at Grandma's

2009-05-27T23:08:00.001-04:00

Everybody loves going to Grandma's house. You get to have all of her attention. You get to see Pop. Lots of food to eat and fun things to do. This Nana - she plans the whole weekend with her grandbabies - right down to the water balloon fight. After playing all day in the yard, she put me and Pop to work filling up balloons. And then it began! Splash! Whop! Soak and Wet. Mason did not know what to think about his Grandparents throwing stuff at him. Aaron and Ashlyn caught on fast and before I knew it my bucket of balloons was empty. We laughed so hard we cried. Our Nana knows how to have fun!

Build it and they will come.

2009-05-12T22:11:00.001-04:00

Last year we dug a small pond in our front yard. We added fish and plants and enjoyed the calming sounds of the water fall. The fall and winter proved to be a bit challenging. Leaves and acorns by the thousands. Ice and snow made me worry for the little fish trapped deep below the surface. At the first hint of warm weather - we cleaned her up and got things ready to flow again. Our fish really grew over the winter and we found a few more residents. Yes our water frogs. We had three when we cleaned things up and who knows how many we have now. They have claimed their territories - plants, rocks, and the waterfall. They must really enjoy their new home because they sing for hours each night. They must have called their friends over for a pool party. I was sitting at the kitchen table the other night when I heard something outside that I could not place. When I opened the front door to investigate - this is what I heard. It was so loud!!!

A Sweet Treat To End Our Fun Day!

2009-04-16T21:54:00.004-04:00

Have you ever had a vacation or time off that did not work out like you planned? This past week was a vacation that was planned months in advance and was changed around a couple of times then almost completely changed. Dallas and I were going to both take the week of Aaron's Spring Break off to play. We would visit Jason and his family in NoVA for Easter, go into Washington to the Zoo and then the Smithsonian and then home to work around the house and yard. When we had to cut our trip short to be with family here in Richmond, I was a bit disappointed that we once again would not get to take Aaron into DC. Jason and Robyn with 3 little ones, followed us back to Richmond and spent a few days here with us. We had planned to go to the Richmond Metro Zoo yesterday if it did not rain - but it DID! :0(.... So, thanks to Robyn, we tried again today. And what a wonderful day it was! Thanks it made my week!

YOU ARE LOOKING AT PRIDE!

2009-03-29T19:53:00.005-04:00

The last two weekends we have been working on a little family project. It has been a confidence building event. For those who don't know, we live in a little neighborhood in Amelia. Our house is on a dead end road at the far end of the neighborhood. We have lived here a little over twelve years and we have watched our older kids run up and down the street on bikes, go-karts, mini-bikes then cars. That older group of kids have all grown, gone to college or moved out on their own. Now there is a younger group of kids, ranging from about 14 down to 7. Our Aaron is the youngest kid in the neighborhood. Which leads me to our project.

Aaron has spent weekends upon weekends watching the "big kids" race on their bikes down the street. He would get on his bike and ride up and down our short sidewalk or around the house. Last years yardsale was a turning point, he sold his bike with training wheels. My co-workers parents shared a big bike with Aaron and he was happy to have it. He cleaned it up, he sat on it, he pushed it around - but refused to ride. Dallas and I ran behind him holding onto the seat, helping him balance and learn to stear this new bike. He caught on but still only wanted to ride in the yard. Then it happened! Last weekend, he decided he was READY to take on the street. Dallas and I dusted off our bikes, pumped up the tires and set out to see the neighbors. Aaron rode this red bike so proudly. We went all the way to the far end so that the big kids could see him. Now he was one them.

As a parent, you hold your breath alot as you watch your kids try new things. This accomplishment made me take a trip down memory lane, remembering when Megan and Dallas learned to ride their bikes. Times flies by, so enjoy the little things like taking a bike ride around the block. Think twice before you say maybe later. You just might watch someone you love have the time of his life. Sporting the biggest grin because he just accomplished the hardest thing that he ever tried to do.

Friends Reunite after 26 years

2009-03-13T20:32:00.002-04:00

WHAT FUN! 26 years after graduating from High School. The four of us had a blast catching up. We had not seen Monika since beach week Summer 1983. Our lives had changed so much. Time was spent getting married, getting our education, raising children and working hard at our jobs. Time flies when you are busy. We clicked again just like old times. I hope we make plans to meet up soon for some more laughs and girl fun.

Thanks to Kathy for driving down for the celebration. You look fantastic and just as sweet as ever.

A few of our close buddies did not make it - maybe next time.

2009-03-02T09:32:00.001-05:00

Whoa! This snowfall came as a nice surprise. When it was all said and done - we got 11 inces of the white stuff.

Finally!

2009-01-31T14:42:00.000-05:00

What's worse than being sick with a nasty stomach bug? Losing your front tooth on the same day. He's smiling here but that took a while. Now other than being worried about what we were going to eat for dinner tonight, he is finding that he can not say his words with the f or th sound. Aaron also has more questions about the tooth fairy. How cute. And that toothless smile.......how goofy!

Aaron turns 7

2008-12-28T22:30:00.001-05:00

Wow - I can not believe that Aaron is seven. To celebrate we spent the day with family and friends. This year's party had a Star Wars theme. The kids dressed in costumes, played games and ate Wookiee Cookies, Padawan Pizza, Death Star Balls, Jedi Fuel with a Yoda Soda chaser. Everyone seemed to have fun. I know that Aaron did. Thank you to everyone that could make it.

So much to be Thankful for

2008-11-27T21:53:00.000-05:00

This was a wonderful day spent with family. Mom did a terrific job making sure each of us had our favorites to fill our plates and bellies. We have spent recent days troubled by our struggling economy and our dwindling finances. Today we focused on what we did have. We are in good health, our children are happy and growing each day. We have each other and lots of food on our plates. We are blessed.

Tomorrow we visit Santa. Maybe he will have something in his toy bag to share with the little ones.

LEAVES - It's a Love-Hate Thing!

2008-11-08T22:02:00.002-05:00

Fall is a wonderful time of year. Cooler weather, football games and sweaters are all favorite things this time of year. This morning I grabbed my camera and took off into the woods to snap a few pictures of the glorious colors. As my Mother has said many times, it was a beautiful scene painted by God. A golden canopy covered the woods. Falling leaves seem to dance on the way to the ground. The trail was still visible but just barely. The dogs followed me around, full of energy from the crisp morning air. Rey seemed to enjoy losing his tennis ball in the leaves so that he could search for it. Cliff stayed close, not really understanding what I was doing. I love the colors.
What I don't love are leaves that have to be raked. Acorns that cover the ground so thick that we actually used a snow shovel to gather them up. Tonight I am trying not to move, because it hurts. All afternoon we raked, and mowed and blew piles of leaves. We drug tarp after tarp full of leaves back to the woods where they seemed to belong.
So I sit here, on the corner of the sofa, aching and enjoying the pictures I took this morning.

Its a Love-Hate Thing.

Treats no Tricks

2008-11-01T23:35:00.000-04:00

This year we were escorted around the neighborhood by Luke Skywalker. We ran up against Darth Vader, but good prevailed. Only four kids trick-or-treated in the neighborhood this year, so their buckets were loaded with goodies. Good Times and Sugar Highs!!

The BIG kids came home as well. We enjoyed our traditional chili dinner, old scarey movies and of course candy stolen from Aaron's pumpkin.

This was our first year without our black kitty Jinx. In the past, Dallas was always concerned that we kept Jinx inside to make sure she was safe. We missed her this year.

Who would have thought......

2008-10-12T20:03:00.001-04:00

......in the Pumpkin Patch you would be forced to face your fears. It is really all Carl's fault. He decided that we should wait for the next wagon. On that wagon ride, the driver stopped to pick up this straw-filled hitchhicker.......who happened to sit RIGHT BESIDE MEGAN! It did seem wrong to enjoy this so much. Carl is smiling here but inside he is hoping that Sissy does not throw him off (good thing there were sides to this wagon and that Megan is pretty much frozen from fear) - Not funny....really not funny...oh my gosh it was really soooo funny.

Anyway, we had a great time today at the Pumpkin Patch. We got lost in the corn maze, took wagon rides, enjoyed the different animals at the farm and went through some scary haunted houses. Thanks to my fellow Mommies ( Ruby & Cindy) we had a wonderful picnic lunch. Just an all around fun time.

I love spending the day with friends and family. Check out more pictures from our fun day uploaded to our Family Pictures link. ------>

Go Raiders!!!!

2008-10-11T08:47:00.000-04:00

The Amelia Flag Football Team will call the Homecoming Parade a success. It did not matter that we were the last float or that we ran out of candy halfway down the parade route. Just like the saturday games, we had a blast!!! Thanks to our decorating team for transforming a little lawnmower trailer into a float with a harvest theme. The team thought that we had the best looking ride there.
We are the RAIDERS and we ROCK!

A Birthday Celebration for Grandma!

2008-09-07T16:24:00.004-04:00

Nothing makes a Grandmother happier than to have her family surrounding her. We all came together to wish Nana a very Happy Birthday. As a Septuagenarian (sep·tu·a·ge·nar·i·an) she is like a no other - honestly - she can work circles around all of us. What other Grandmother do you know that gets a new tennis bag for her 70th birthday? Go Granny - Go! We hoped you had a great time. We sure did. Click on the play button to join in the celebration or view FAMILY PICTURES http://picasaweb.google.com/DALLASNTRACY/BettySBirthday08 to see more.

First Day of First Grade

2008-08-25T19:23:00.000-04:00

School is open and Aaron is ready for First Grade. The only thing better than a new favorite shirt and new school supplies is getting to see all your buddies after summer break. He's off to a great start - we are sure that it will be a great year.

August Means Birthdays

2008-08-23T15:07:00.000-04:00

Dallas turns 23 and Megan is finally 22. Aaron is just happy to have them both home for dinner. He helped make Dee's birthday cake which was fully equiped with a DS made out of cake. Cool!!! Megan settled for her traditional Choc-Choc layer cake. Yummo! It was nice to have all of them together if only for one evening. Happy Birthday kids!

White Oak Pond - Stage II

2008-08-10T17:26:00.000-04:00

Another weekend spent collecting rocks around the neighborhood. Dallas said that it was getting a little embarrassing having his wife comb the neighborhood pushing her wheelbarrow, begging for rocks. By Sunday, our neighbors were bringing them to us. We added a few plants around the edges to dress things up and some more fish to watch. It is certainly a work in progress. Check back in soon for more pictures or just come for a visit.

On White Oak Pond

2008-08-04T22:18:00.002-04:00

So Momma wanted a pond - something new in the yard. These days we can all use a little tranquility, a little stress relief. With a little encouragement from a neighbor and a whole lot of her help. Momma now has her pond. It will be an ongoing project for months to get it looking just right. We are looking forward to adding fish and plants to make it a part of our home. What fun!. Come visit, bring your pole.

A Blackberry Weekend

2008-07-28T22:52:00.005-04:00

As a family, we come together to enjoy many special occasions. This past weekend it was all about Blackberries. Sharing funny stories remembering how Mom would send Jason and I into the berry patch dressed up in layers of long sleeves and long pants with our gallon buckets to be filled with wild blackberries. It certainly did not take us long to learn that chiggers were bad and blackberry cobblers were really good!

This visit to see the NOVA Wade's was just to play and that is exactly what we did. Great Country Farm in Bluemont, VA was our first stop. We thought it would be a great day to let the kids run and play and buy some blackberries....that quickly turned into picking our own. Everybody grabbed a bucket and claimed their row. After we (Dallas) ate as many as we (he) picked, we cleaned up and enjoyed the rest of our fun farm day. Petting zoo, picnic lunch, big pumpkin pillow and fun with Nana (Gamaw) and Pop.

Second stop was the vineyard up the hill. The grownups must have looked thirsty, because within minutes we were being treated to tasting 6 different wines and admiring the lovely view. Blackberries make good wine too! Make that 3 bottles to go!

Sunday started out with lots of testosterone! Football training camp for our favorite football team the REDSKINS! The guys were living the dream until their bellies brought them home for lunch.

Thanks Jason and Robyn for having us up for the weekend. Love you all!

Butterflies in July

2008-07-20T16:47:00.000-04:00

Butterflies just love this butterfly bush in our backyard. Its not hard to find a dozen of them enjoying a sweet lunch mid-afternoon. This is about the only one that would stay put long enough for it's picture to be taken. Thank you Aunt Jenny for these lovely plants. They certainly brighten up our backyard.

INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION!

2008-07-06T22:15:00.008-04:00

CHICKS BEACH KNOWS HOW TO CELEBRATE 4TH OF JULY!

Thanks to Jacki and Mike for having us down for a few days of fun in the sun! It is always great to spend time with wonderful friends. We love you! Be sure to check out the new pics that have been added to our family album.

Not at all what these two had planned for their weekend.

2008-06-22T15:48:00.001-04:00

First a trip to the Vet and then a bath. Cliff and Rey really want us to go back to work. Better luck next week boys.

TWO DOWN - ONE TO GO!

2008-05-22T13:45:00.001-04:00

Today is Aaron's Big Day - Kindergarten Graduation! First Grade here he comes. This has been a crazy few weeks for the proud parents of these three. It also seems a bit odd to be celebrating your kids college and kindergarten graduation both in the same week. They keep us going. We feel very blessed to have three kids that are bright and full of life. Now the ball is in Dallas, Jr's court - come on December...2008 will be known as The Year of the Graduation!!

Another First for Aaron

First lost tooth for Aaron. That tooth wiggled for weeks and finally fell out. The Tooth Fairy came and Boo was happy with the exchange rate. He hopes that the Tooth Fairy gives his tooth to his cousin Lauryn because she needs some more teeth.

Go Megan Go!
