Guess Who's Back?

Well my last post was almost a year and a half ago! What? I know really! At this time I am really not even sure what to write about! Guess I will just update and then back date some post to get me up to date. Allot has change, mostly for the better!!

Shelby turned 14 this year and started High School a few weeks ago. She was excited to start back to school and hang out with her friends...other than getting lost the first few days she had a great start back to school! Rhett turned 5 this year and he started kindergarten! He was not excited about going to Big School. Everyday when he would come home he would talk about all the fun things that he did, then promptly add: but I am not going back tomorrow! After a few weeks he has stopped saying that! He loves his class and his
teachers!

My 3%th Birthday!!!

This year I turned 3%!! Have to say it was a really great Birthday, mainly because I got to celebrate it for about 2 weeks! I got some cash and I also got a new gas grill! Win! On my actual Birthday, the kids and I, plus Elizabeth made a trip to the Columbia Zoo and then visited some of the places around Columbia where I lived from the age of 3-5! We came home and Shelby and Elizabeth made me a cake! Beautiful!!

Sister Birthday Event was at PF Chang's and Yogurt Mountain!
