SO UNLIKE ME!

For those of you that "know me", I mean REALLY "KNOW ME" you know that I am organized and I put everything on my calendar! Well, a few weeks ago I got a new phone. The Samsung Focus.... it is a windows phone and I LOVE IT! I have immediate access to my calendar anytime anywhere. (I use GMail for my calendar). Well, I am still learning things about this NEW phone! SO, I realized today that just because you click on a specific day on the calendar to add an event, doesn't mean that your event will be listed on that day. You have to check the date of the even as you are entering the new event. With that being said........I MESSED UP.... I MISSED TO EVENTS THIS WEEKEND! I KNOW, I KNOW.... NOT LIKE ME AT ALL. I missed a baby shower and a birthday party. I thought I was putting them on Saturday, but really put them on Sunday! I was sooooooooo frustrated with myself. But, I have gotten over that......

February- the start of many birthdays

February- kinda crazy month for us.
Trenton's basketball season ended. He loved playing basketball! The next weekend were tryouts for baseball and softball! Trenton and Hollie both did really well at their tryouts! Practice will start this week for both!
Both kids are doing well in school! Although, they are ready for spring break!
We have a lot going on at church right now. We attend World Victory Church (WVC). We are so HAPPY there! WVC is growing right now and it is GREAT! Check out the website www.worldvictorychurch.org.

The month of February starts back to back birthdays for us. Feb 16 -Jim (brother in law), Feb 18- Brian (brother in law), Feb 22- MINE, followed by several birthdays in March, April and May, then July.

This is all for now, as I said earlier; in the words of Jennifer "baby steps"
Come back for another update later this week!

Long time since I blogged

Wow, didn't realize I have blogged since September.... lets see if I can catch you up.

• October- Not much to say, Happy Halloween. The kids had a great time at our Church Fall Festival.


• November- Happy Thanksgiving. Also extremely thankful and blessed! Let the cooking and baking begin for the family and for the kids class at school. Love to cook/bake. Went Black Friday shopping again. Love it. Got lots of great deals on gifts.


• December- Merry Christmas- We had a great Christmas! Lots of great, fun get togethers with family and friends! Lots of baking and cooking going on!

• January-Happy New Year! The start of a new year and the start of a new ME! Lots of time out of school for the kids due to the weather! Lots of family bonding time!

That is a nut shell version of our life from October to the end of January. I will post another blog about Feb.

My sister (in law) has inspired to me to start blogging again-in her words "baby steps"- Thanks Jennifer!

Fall is in the air!

It has been a beautiful weekend! The mornings have been cool which means Fall is coming soon! Ready for some cooler weather!! I am glad that cooler weather is coming because the kids baseball/softball games are starting up this weekend! Excited! This will be Trenton's last fall/spring at the ball park- kinda bittersweet; and Hollie is playing softball!

Hollie is doing fantastic in school! Her teacher is great! She gives Hollie and a few of other kids different spelling words- challenging words. Hollie has done great so far with it! Trenton started out doing awesome, was excited about school, he was organized and was studying! Then he slacked back off, but this is the week that he is getting back in to it and he is going to be organized again and have better grades!

We are still loving World Victory Church (WVC). There are great things happening there and great things to come! The kids love being there! Every time we are there we feel like we are home! Such a great extended family to have! The women at WVC are going to the women's Ramp this weekend! (theramp.org) I am sooo excited about this. If the Women's Ramp is anything like the kids Ramp that we went to- watch out!

I am hoping to post some pictures soon of the kids playing baseball/softball!

until next time..... RTR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer is over

Well, Summer is over, school starts back next week! The kids have had a good summer, but they are ready for school to start back! Luckily the school did a summer program and the kids were able to attend. They had some fun filled weeks: each week they would go to the movies, go swimming, go skating. The other days during the week were filled with other fun things, like crafts, computer day, kickball tournament, go to a baseball game, going to Vulcan Materials, go to Noccolula Falls. They had a great time.

Then we, as a family, went to Georgia to visit with Jeff's sister Jennifer and her family! We had a great time. Lots of good times and memories! We will not be waiting 2 years to go back next time. We are going to do our best to make this a yearly visit! Hope your ready for that Jennifer!

I was so excited about buying school supplies; Crazy, I know, but Walgreens had an awesome sale a few weeks ago and I was able to buy the school supplies for both kids, including new backpacks for $70.00! YAY ME!!!!! I also found some really good deals on clothes for them at Target and Children's Place! Love finding great deals!!!!!!!!

Hollie will be going to 1st grade and, we have found that her teacher, Mrs. Fant, lives in our neighborhood! Trenton will be going to 6th grade, he will have 5 teachers- I think he is more excited about getting a locker- the smalls things in life!

We are still really enjoying our new church World Victory Church (WVC). There are some really awesome people there! They are really involved in the youth!

Hope all the kids have a great school year!

until next time.....
xoxoxoxo

Finally Summer

Well, we made it to the end of another school year! Both kids had a great year with great teachers. T will now be in 6th grade and H will now be in 1st grade. Wow how they grow up soooo fast! I feel so blessed to have such wonderful, healthy children! They may keep me busy and drive me crazy sometimes, but I would NOT trade them for anything in the world!!!!! ☺ ☺

I hope this will be a busy, fun summer for us. We are planning to go to spring valley beach, the zoo, maybe even the Montgomery zoo again, a trip to Georgia to visit with Jennifer and her family, and maybe a short beach trip!!! ☺

Memorial day is coming up so we will have a busy weekend with visiting family and cookouts and family fun day/pre-reg for VBS at our church WVC on Sunday from 2-5!

Come back often for summer updates and pictures...

Ready for summer!

I know in the last post I said that I would post pictures of T's party so here they are: http://picasaweb.google.com/grahambunch/TrentonSParty

If you are friends with me on face book, you have already seen this pictures.

T just recently went to space camp with the school and he loved it. He said "I would stay longer if I could have"- my reply was "2 nights and 3 days was long enough". His team won "Best Mission" He had a great time, but was extremely tired. They were on the go non stop from 7 am until 9:30pm. So needless to say, he was glad that his baseball game on Friday night was rained out as well as his game on Saturday morning. He was able to catch up on his sleep!

The kids are looking forward the summer program at school this year. They will have a lot of fun there! I am looking forward to have some time off this summer with them !!

We have found a new church to attend and the kids are really loving the youth group there!

Coming soon is a kindergarten graduation for H. I am sad because she is getting so big, but happy because she is a smart little girl. I am so happy to have smart, wonderful children!

Well, the washer and dryer are buzzing at me so until next time
