My little Bulldog fan...

Jordan keeps us on our toes each and everyday.  This video is from Anna's graduation at the Humphrey Colliseum.  During graduation Jordan thought he would add his own spin to things.  As students were called to recieve their diploma, Jordan started yelling "Go State!" I love my little Bulldog fan!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

This past week sure has gotten the best of me!! I can't believe that school is over and summer starts this Friday.  I have a to do list a mile long to get done before Friday at 3:00.  Some of which includes making stuff for my "new" 5th grade classroom.  I will be teaching 5th grade Math and have nothing but time to get things ready. I am thankful I have time before school starts to make everything. I also have to do the end of the year closing out everything. I have enjoyed teaching 2nd grade but am excited about 5th at this point. Can't really stay negative on something you can't change.  I have learned so much about myself this year.  I have been tested daily and have tried to handle myself like God would want me too.  No one is perfect and try to remind myself of that everyday.Needless to say, my friends have been picking me up a lot lately.

Some Jordanisms lately:

Jordan: Mommy I hear thunder.
Me: Jordan that is Jesus upstairs in heaven reminding us to do our best.
Jordan: HIDE, theres a man upstairs!

(playing on the floor with the boys and Jordan runs to the potty)
Me: (playing with Gage)  Gage I love you
Jordan: (yelling from the bathroom) Mommy I love you
Me: Jordan I love you too
Jordan: NO, I love you more mommy!!

I am  also very PROUD of my sister!

So proud of Anna, "Sissy"

What a last couple of weeks it has been and to get everyone caught up.....

Well have been really busy the last couple of weeks! Our family has been busy & one thing that sure hasn't changed is LIFE sure isn't the one slowing down. Somethings that have been going on the last couple of weeks:
  • I had a wonderful Mother's Day! Not only did I celebrate with my boys and their sweet card, I also got to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom, Jordan and Gage's Nana. Each visit with my mom, dad and sister I love!!
  • We traveled to Columbus for Mother's Day weekend, which we also celebrated Jenna graduating from Mississippi University of Women and we also got to watch Anna play in the 3rd round of fast pitch playoffs in New Hope.
  • I have been sick with a sinus infection and two ear infections this last week. Went to the Doctor and got a sinus shot, antibiotic, and a another prescription. Getting some relief but wished the antibiotic would work a little faster. Still have alot of pressure on my ears.
  • Justin received some wonderful news that he is moving up from his middle school job to a high school position in Southaven.  He will be the new assistant basketball coach for Southaven High School.  He will be teaching and coaching with coaches that he previously played basketball with/against.  He has been looking forward to this opportunity to further his coaching career and get the experience needed for the high school level. 
  • Anna, my sister, has also accepted scholarships for soccer and softball at Itawamba Community College!! I am so proud of her and can't wait to take Jordan and Gage to all of her games to support her and visit my old stomping grounds.
  • I am now a NEW Mary Kay consultant. So call me for any of your beauty needs and we can make each other feel beautiful as we learn about the skin products together. 
  • I have been busy painting canvases. Trying to make one of my hobbies into a business has been a challenge, but well on my way :) Looking for a catchy business name- Every little bit of extra helps our family
  • Throughout each day, God reminds me in little ways that HE is in control and has blessed my family in so many ways.  Turning everything over to him sure helps relieve the everyday stresses of life. I am reminded of his unending love for me and my family daily!!
  • Some of the canvases that I have painted:

Life lately.....

Well Jordan and Gage are doing better! Jordan is also doing better with his potty training.  Potty training has been one of the funniest things that I have ever had to experience with Jordan's hilarious comments about "stuff." Maintaining a smile and trying to remain as adult like as possible has been hard. Some of the funny conversations lately: 


Me: Jordan hurry, run make to the potty!
Jordan: Hurrrrry mommy! (as he runs with his big boy underwear pulled down around his ankles as we are rounding the corner of the bathroom)
Jordan: (sits and is out of breath) Mommy I missed, but my underwear is only wet a little. Buzz is still my friend. (this particular day he had Toy Story underwear)
Me: Joorrddaann!!
Jordan: Buzz is still my friend and I need candy!
       (he gets M&M's out of a M&M dispenser every time he is successful, and he NEEDS a lot of stuff here lately)


Every morning as Justin leaves for work Jordan yells "Love you, Miss you, See you, Byyyyeeee"


Justin: Jordan did  you have a good day?
Jordan: No
Justin: Why didn't you have a good day?
Jordan: I poo poo in my underwear. 
Justin: Why didn't you go to the potty?
Jordan: I was playing with my big truck and not want to go to the potty.
