Carrie Underwood.

I know that this post is a bit late but I'm posting it anyways.

The purpose of this blog for me from the beginning has always been a journal.

I started it to keep some memories (I need to do a better job) so I guess better late than never.

So as you know from my previous post I went to the Carrie Underwood concert with my daughter Courtnie, her friend Nicole & my cute Cousin Kelsey.

We had so much fun Carrie is a wonderful entertainer & she is funny as well as a great singer.

We started the night off with some dinner everywhere we went was like an hour wait so we just went to Denny's.

Then it was off to the concert....

Little Big Town opened up for her & they were really good.

Then the excitement mounted.....

Concert tickets $45.00

Gas about $10.00

Dinner $15.00

A night out with my 16 year old daughter Courtnie

PRICELESS!!!

Thanks Court for inviting me out with you.

I Love you more than you will ever know!!!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

A few months ago my daughter told me that she wanted to go to the Carrie Underwood concert.

Her dad gave her money for a ticket for an early christmas present. 

She called up her good friend Nicole and she brought her money to get her a ticket to go also.

And surprise!!!

She even asked her mom if she wanted to go!!!

I know a teenager actually wanting her mom to go, & not as a driver (because she has her license & her own car).

I said no at first, you know the whole money thing.

But after I thought about it for awhile I thought I'd be stupid to miss out on this bonding time with my baby girl.

So I'm going to see Carrie Underwood tonight!!!

But I think I'm more excited to be spending some quality time with my beautiful daughter & that's really what it's all about!!!

What is it about boys???

My boys are only 18 months old & already my little man Kelton thinks it's so funny when he farts!

He will fart and laugh his head off like it's the funniest thing in the world.

And he always has to make sure that you know he did it, he will look at you & laugh.

In a way as gross as it is, it's still cute.

I mean look at that happy little stinker!

Now he has learned to make the noise with his mouth to.

So every time he farts he laughs at himself & then makes the sound with his mouth.

what am I going to do?  

I'm in for it with 2 of them I just know it!

Boys 18 month check up.

Today the boys had there 18 month check up.

They are getting so big I can't believe they are already almost 2.

They are growing & developing just like they are suppose to.

Gage is:

26 pounds & 32 inches long

&

Kelton is:

23 pounds & 31 inches long.

They are so funny they were dancing around for the dr. & telling her animal sounds & showing her there body parts.

I am so proud of them they are so smart & bring such joy to my life.

I cannot even imagine my life with out them in it.

You know God works in mysterious ways.

I have had a few family problems lately, & a few personal set backs.

I haven't felt like myself for awhile now & have been very hard on myself.

I was catching up on my sister Nikki's blog & she had exactly what I needed.

(Thank You Nikki)

I'm not sure where she found this video but it sure made me stop & do some serious thinking.

It reminded me that I cannot be sorry, sad or mad about the things that I don't have or cannot be.

I am ME and I am worth it, I am worth more than even I know & I have to be thankful for Everything & Everyone in my life.

I have found in my life that things happen for a reason & people happen into our lives for a reason.

We may not know at the time why things happen, we may never know, but everything does happen for a reason.

I have been reminded to be Thankful for everything that I do have, and I really do have a lot to be Thankful for.

Maybe this video will help one of you, if nothing else it is so inspiring.

Jer went out this last weekend to pick up the leaves all over the back yard.

Of course the boys thought they should be out there to.

So here is a little slide show of them playing in the leaves.

Thursday night my Mom had her annual Halloween party so she could see all of the kids dressed in there costumes.

It's so hard to visit everyone on Halloween all the kids want to do is get there treats or hang with there friends so my mom does a party before halloween.

It makes it a lot less stressful.
