Walk n Roll....it was GREAT!






This morning Dad, Mom, Fleetie and I went to the Walk n Roll. It was alot of fun! I started out walking but ended on Dad's shoulders but at the end I walked it in and got myself my ribbon! It was great to see old faces..Bin was one of them. I got to see Caleb and some other friends..we really missed Bryce but his grandmother and aunt were there...so it was great to see them...and we missed Nathan also. Then Aunt Sarah (Will and Drew's Mom) surprised us and showed up...Mama was very happy to see her. WE RAISED $460.00 in less than a week!!!

My Birthday...I am a wife, mother, daughter and friend..






Sooooo, for my Birthday I went to out with my friends Anna and Sarah om Sunday...Monday went to spend time with my Mom and Ethan. Monday night Greg and I went out for dinner and lastly went out with Andrea Wednesday. Like Ethan said"Mama, your birthday is over"! I had a great time each and every night...but I am to old! But, I have some reason behind it...last Friday I had a colonoscopy done..it find out that I inherited ulcer colitis from my Dad. When my parents that about having a little girl that put alot of thought into it!!!!haha I had been experiencing some severe issues! Another mystery solved! So I am on some great medication and am learning what not eat...even if I want to eat it!:( Ethan's hip surgery is going to be September 20th...we are nervous but have all the hope and faith that everything will turn out GREAT! Ethan is doing great! Hippo and swimming have to be his favorite things besides being very talkative. The boy looks like his Dad but he is all me! He loves life, embraces everything! My mom says he is the happiest little boy in the world and is a piece of work! I will be going back to teach in January....that gives Ethan time to re-group before he goes to school...I am soooo excited that he and I will be at least in the same building! He is sooo independent and he has the drive for life!I never feel alone...there is always Ethan!!!!



p.s. On a sad note..My Uncle Doug Beck passed away on July 4th after fighting cancer for several years. He was a very kind and sweet man. He and I loved Gloria Estefan..he loved singing and dancing!!! It was so funny!! Our heart goes out to my Aunt Sandy and her whole family!

July....what excitement!!








So....when we got back from Disney with a couple of days to re-group and off to Georgetown, Texas for Cousin Hoak's Birthday! We had a nice time and it was great to see the boys and paisley. The boys and Ethan played and had a great time! Ethan really liked Paisley and so did his Daddy! Greg got to hang out with her and it was sweet! Ethan loved swimming in there beautiful pool...his Daddy taught him how to go down almost 5FT...way to go Ethan...give Mama a small stroke! So again, Happy Birthday Hoak!!!

More Disney World.....









So...where do I begin. First, of all big thank you to Poppy and Ana for the trip! It was great!!! We had a great time!! Ethan did great! He did great on the plane rides plus he was a great sport about the parks...he and I stayed at least between 5-6 hours for the first four days and then we had to take a break and just hang out at the hotel. Ethan walked actually alot...His favorite park was Magic Kingdom! They were super sweet there! We never waited in any lines which was great! Ethan is fearless, I on the other hand with age have become less of a rebel. When we went to Magic Kindgom the first time, he and I were about to leave but he wanted to stay for the parade. I am so glad we did...he was walking and waiting patiently for the parade to start and we had Disney employee come over and ask us if this was our first time, Ethan's name...a few seconds later we were invited to be in the VIP section of the parade and it gave Ethan the opportunity to meet all of the Disney characters. I of course starting crying has we walked to the VIP section and crowd started clapping for Ethan. It was soooooo cool! We had a great time!!!!
