Drake and his cake!

Drake Lewis Adams

Wow 11 ! That went by so fast. My little super hero is growing up faster than a "speeding bullet." I really love you Drake. I love the memories you have made for us. I know that you do so much to help out in this family and I love you for that too. You've always been a good helper. Probably because Dad was in school and you knew I needed you. I love the boy you are and the man I know you will become. Your tender heart is a special thing. Always try and keep it that way. (that is a big reason I fell in love with Dad.) You are a great kid to be around and your humor and personality develop more and more each day. I think you are very witty and funny. Just remember to be respectful of others and never Joke or laugh at others expense. You are the best! We Love You! Happy B-Day!

The Bomb

Wow! I don't even know what to say. Maybe that is why I haven't said anything all month. I had Mom and Dad over for the first Grandparents Dinner. Little did I know it would also be the last. After they left I was telling the kids that they shouldn't talk about going swimming and all the other things they wanted to do when they had guest over. I told them that they should make them feel important and that we were glad they were there not hurry up and leave so we can swim. They all said okay and well then we went swimming. Anyway, when we got home Brian was gone to his football draft so I put the kids to bed. Then Mom called and said oh were moving and oh yeah in 2 weeks. What? I was like Oh. Yeah I just thought Oh. I just didn't know what to say. I got off the phone and had a breakdown. I think it was the shock of it was gonna happen so fast. I felt like the wind got knocked out of me. I text Brian and told him. I told him that my heart hurt. He knows that means its serious. I know it may sound dumb to a lot of people but I was truly heart broken. I kept thinking "Who's gonna do all my hair brained ideas with me?" I felt lost. I am so glad I have awesome big sisters that I can call. I am glad that they feel the same way as me about most things so I can call them and cry about our Mom and Dad moving away and I don't have to feel dumb. I know that Mom and Dad will have a good experience. It just sucks that it happened so fast. I think it will take awhile to get used to no Sunday dinners at Mom's. I will really really miss you. I cry when I think about it. I know time heals all wounds. and I hope this adventure is great for Mom and Dad. I wish you the Best.

This will be so good.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The Laundry Situation

Do you agree that laundry is the worst job ever, ever, ever!? It doesn't really matter if you agree. I know for a fact without anyone agreeing with me that it is. I know this because it's the only chore that causes fights in our home. The worst is when I am trying to explain to Brian that I didn't know he needed the "green" scrubs but I did do laundry and the kids come in and say "Mom, I don't have any socks." and I am like "look in the sock basket then" and in comes Jayme "Mom I don't have any shirts for school......"well, did you look on the recliner in my room?" I mean don't they know how to look? Doesn't everyone keep there socks in a basket and there clothes (clean ones) on the recliner. If it is on the floor it is dirtyI hate it. I have to admit that I was never ever going to have a sock basket . It also grosses me out to watch the show Clean House or even Cops. Then I go through our bedroom and reality sets in. Then I kinda feel bad for the people on those shows and wonder if they just had a bad day or maybe just let the Laundry situation get out of hand.

Deck Update

Time for an update. The deck is almost done. It is about 3/4ths done. I do have to tell Brian how awesome he is for doing this thing. Our yard has changed so much. I love it. It will be so worth it in the end. Also a shout out to Jas. Without him it would have really sucked. Soon we can have a deck party. Can't wait.
