I treasure days that....
Bo ask me to "play ball" in the yard....and I say yes...right then and we go....nothing more important...
I love that he acts like he is in the world series and that each throw and catch is for the win....
I love that Baylen puts McRaes shoes on him and brings him outside and is soooo proud
I love that Samantha and I have talks at night and that I can say ANYTHING to her and she gets it...
I love that she rolls her eyes at me....with that I can't believe you just said that...but I am glad you just said that...I should be embarrassed you just said that....but I am totally not look....
I love that McRae pats the floor when he wants you to sit
I love that he loves trains and melmo
I love how Baylen says "grinila" for granola bar....
I am blessed :)

 

 

 

love that McRae love to wake Samantha first thing in the morning and crawl in her bed.....then before he goes to bed he loves to crawl back into bed with her...they start and end their day together :)

 This is what I find when I go in the boys room.....

 Dreaming of hitting it big one day....I love his love and passion for the game...and the belief he has in himself....

Love that we live half a mile away from a basketball/gym dawg meet or game...love how people like Nick Chubb just walk on by....#loveathens

 

 

 Baylen loves to climb the same tree that big sis and big bro climb....did not even mean to catch the sunset in the bag...got to love a Saturday in the 60's in January......stayed outside all day!

 

Sleepy Bay

 Love how he is double jointed...one of many cool things about Bo!

 Love that my girl has such a great group of friends.....love that she spend her whole day with them and then ended it at the V! LOVE IT ONE THOUSAND TIMES

Day off from school means easy bake oven time!!!! Nachos cheese and soft pretzel time!

 

Got her first pair of real running shoes!!!! Watch out world....I think they took a minute off her time already!!! Still not use to all this neon coming back from the 80's!

Happy New Year!

Starting at the beach and now getting into it at home

Truly blessed! Can't believe it is already mid January

Many resolutions

Many already broken

But main one was to keep on the train

even when you fall off!

It is easy to set the goals

Easier to quit them...

the goal here is to get back in the saddle!

 

8 glasses of water a day

shower every day

play everyday

one glass of wine...not two

take meds daily along with a vitamin

exercise an hour a day

get eight hours of sleep

read devotion in am and live it all day

bush teeth twice a day and floss once

wash face

moisturize

roll with it

5 fruits and veggies a day

only two sugars a day

 

this is just a few to mention....

I have stuck with

0

But striving daily to do each and everyone!

 

Blessings number 1  2  3  and four....

 one of the cutest things ever was watching McRae walk down the hall to have lunch with Bo!
WOW  tissues please

 

 McRae loves to sneak in Samantha "Peppers" room at bedtime...to hide
she turns on choo choo for him and he is in heaven....amazing how these two little blessings are cut from the same mold...sweet sweet but temper temper....smiley smiley but angry angry...got my hands full on the front and back end!

 Baylen falls a sleep with a lantern when I went back into his room tonight this was shining on the end of his bed....could not decide to be freaked out or laugh :)

 love love love him....love that he loves to read baseball books every night by a lantern like he is camping.....
