Riding Bikes Down at the Funeral Home....again

Not Feeling So Well


When Richie brought Garrett home today, he said that they had been fishing all day and that Garrett was tired, and needed a bath....what he didn't mention was that Garrett wasn't feeling well either. I'm pretty confident that he had just gotten a little to hot during the day because after throwing up, he decided that he was hungry and wanted something to eat.

My Southern Comfort Food of Choice


To some, this is gross, nasty, and even disgusting. For me, it's my comfort food. I rarely make it, but when I do, I kinda eat way toooo much of it. It's nothing but great northern beans, cooked with a ham hock, and then ketchup and onions to taste. Yummy!

Last Day of School / 2nd Grade



Best I could get this morning....I tried to take a few before we left for school but Garrett wasn't really very cooperative...then on the way to school, I managed to take another picture while waiting at the red light....and then finally I got one as he was walking away from the car....was hoping for a few better ones, but it was raining and I didn't want to get the camera wet....I am grateful for what I was able to get though!

Awards Ceremony at School (End of Year)


This was not your typical awards ceremony. Ms Pownall and the rest of the school all had their awards ceremonies in the classroom, with the parents present, and a party afterwards. Shawn and I were both able to attend, and we watched as Garrett got his end of the year awards. Go Garrett!! Then of course, I had to make sure that I got a picture of Garrett with his teacher, Ms. Pownall.

The New Kitty





Per Garretts request this evening, I took some pictures of him with the new kitty that he and his dad got from someone on Craigslist...she really is an adoreable kitten...very dark in color and too cute for words.

Day # 153 - Picture #153 (Tuesday)

Tyler's Chorus Performance



Tonight Shawn and I drove to Rosewood, North Carolina where his son Tyler lives. He was having his year end chorus perfermance. It was help in the Middle School Gym, and the lighting was completely awful, so there were no good pictures taken by me! Shawn's ex-wife did take a few and hopefully they come out better than mine....we're waiting to see! Did I mention that it was in the gym? OMG the temperature in that place was completely stifling...just imagine, 90+ degrees outside, and no A/C on the inside with 100+ people...

Hope Mills Lake ...yet again. It wears a boy OUT!




Tonight after work, we ran to the Food Lion to get a few things and a swimming noodle for Garrett (I'm sure they have a name), and then we took him to Hope Mills Lake again for about an hour...We changed his clothes in the car and ran to Ci Ci's for a quick dinner of pizza. Once we got home, we did our typical nightly routine and Garrett went to bed reading an AR book....apparantly the activities of the evening wore him out as he was asleep within three minutes of going to bed. Gotta love them when they're sleeping!

Hope Mills Lake...again!





Today we decided to take Garrett to the Lake again. He had so much fun yesterday that he requested we go back...so why not right? We waited til later in the evening for it too cool off a bit, and then stayed there for a little over an hour.

Day #150 - Picture #150 (Saturday)

Hope Mills Lake


Tonight we decided to take Garrett to Hope Mills Lake and let him swim for a bit. Even at 7:00pm it was still pretty hot out, and the lake was still a bit crowded, but Garrett didn't care. He had a blast and even found some friends that he goes to After School Care with to play with...he came out shivering but happy as can be.

Day #149 - Picture #149 (Friday)

Bathtub Toys

So Garrett is at it again....this time, instead of using the bathroom sink, he's using the entire tub! Good thing we rarely use that bathroom! Any hoo, just in a day or so these things have already tripled in size, and are still growing....whatever will they think of next!

Day #148 - Picture #148 (Thursday)

Nintendo DSi

Okay, so Garrett's DS finally broke enough to warrant the purchase of a new one! So he took all his money that he'd saved and did just that, bought himself a new one! The DSi (and don't forget to say the "I")...is completely cool, and for Garrett, very hard to put down.
