Smelly Good Food
In an effort to keep Darrell and I on track with our new nutrition plan I have been experimenting with new foods. Most of them have turned out yummy.
Take for instance Kale chips: they are quick, easy and are gone before I get them off the cookie sheet. Even Linley loved them:
On the other hand there was last night's dinner. It had nothing unusual in it. Just onions, zucchini, peppers, garlic and some other things, but pretty typical ingredients. It even tasted good as I ate it. But all night I woke up still smelling it, then Darrell called this morning and said his coat smelled like it, but here is the best part:
I get this text from Linley's teacher- "I don't know what Linley ate for dinner but she is sweating onions. haha"
I immediately start laughing and respond to the teacher and then get this message:
"That is too funny. You should have seen me looking all over my room for an onion"
Anyway, I will be opening all the windows and doors and febreezing the whole house today. Anyone want the recipe or leftovers?
and one last picture just because I love him and his best friend.

My Baby is 8
Somehow over the past 8 years I got old. And this man did it to me:
...and mostly because he made me eat nasty Cincinnati Chili. Just kidding (about him making me old, but not the chili-yuck)
For Jackson's birthday this year we went to an indoor waterpark in Ohio. It was so very fun and I took only 2 pictures. the kids bunk beds:
and a picture of them passed out midday after sliding a hundred times down the slides:
-aren't they sweet when they are asleep? I need to look at this picture often.
Jackson's birthday breakfast in bed:
and surprise cake and ice cream with a few neighbors, family and close friends.
After 8 years I feel I know less about parenting, but am infinitely more aware of God's grace and hope sincerely that it covers over all of my failures in motherhood.

The Best Workout
The best workout EVER...
... is the one where you take a 4 year old
... and a 7 year old ice skating
... and only the 7 year old is any good!
The little ice skating referees had to help Linley and I off the ground MANY times and I had no shame in accepting that help. Linley and I were both covered in ice and sweat at the end of our hour.

A Few People that I am Proud Of
We have celebrated a few accomplishments at our house recently.
1. This guy completed his first ever 4 mile race and he even came in 5th place in his division. Not too shabby, seeing as how my first ever 4 mile race was the same day:)
2. This handsome fella won "a major award" (name that movie). Congrats sweets on a job well done. I am very proud of you and your hard work.
3. This young lady had her first dance recital and completed the whole thing without throwing a fit, falling on the floor, or losing her piece of tape that marked her spot. Good job Linley!
The moments we have with the ones we love are much too short not to celebrate all of life's special moments. I hope you all have a Happy New Year!

College Girls Weekend
There is nothing quite like a girlfriends weekend to keep you going through the Holidays.
Thanks ladies for the delicious food, even the midnight food that ended up on Mer's white coat, the laughs, the shopping and most importantly the time away from the boys (and children in my case).
In case you are ever in Clemson and are headed to a place called ESSO-don't worry about being under dressed, just throw on your camo and go!
Love ya ladies and Happy Thanksgiving.
