Happy Birthday, Luc!

This post is dedicated to my head strong, I won't back down, I know what I want, I will never be pushed around, sweet, loving, sensitive, appreciative, 5 year old.

Happy Birthday, Luc! You make my life so busy and so much fun. I love you very, very, very much!







Rule:
Say Happy Birthday!

Ring Master

How can someone so sweet and innocent make me want to start chugging beers, or wine or gin at 3:00pm and not stop until either I pass out or he falls asleep!

Ok, that might be a little harsh! I am totally laughing that I just typed that. But seriously, the noise level and activity jumps through the roof as soon as he walks in the door every afternoon! My two other little boys are so good and quiet; they love each other and play so well together ~ until the oldest one comes home from school all jacked up and high from his 15 minute walk in 20 degree weather. Yes, Moo, he wears a hat and gloves!

Maybe, instead of drinking, I might just get myself a top hat, a whip and a microphone. For what you ask? For the damn three ring circus that I lead. Yes, I think I would make a pretty good Ring Master! Hell, I could even charge admission and serve popcorn. Better yet, I could just run away, leaving my own circus for one that I might actually get paid to lead!



With all that said, I must say, while smiling the hugest smile ~ I love his GUTS!

Join the circus!

A Quiet Moment

Quiet moments are few and far between in our house, but when I give Luc a good book, these moments happen a little more often.



Rule:
Stack books all around the playroom.

I Know, I Know, I Know...

...you are getting just a tad bit tired of all the videos. I can't help it. It just seems like such an easy way to blog.

This video is from Luc's 5th Birthday party! All the little pirates had a great time and the only pirate meltdown was my little two year old who wanted one of his brother's presents. Poor Beck! This was Luc's first "real" party and let me just say...he appreciated it! He hugged me after everyone left and told me that it was the best party EVER!



Rule:
Have a party!

They Will Not Be Denied

Everyone who reads my blog knows that I am from Alabama. But, do you know how much I love football. I have been a huge Bama fan since I was born. The tradition within my family runs deep - very deep! Bama football has given me so many memories, from Saturday football parties at my parents house when I was young (oh, the stories I could tell), to tailgate parties and now - watching Bama football with my oldest son.

I am so very proud to say that I am a Bama Fan. Roll Tide!

Heritage Lessons

This post is dedicated to my Alabama Family, who thinks that my children are little yankees!

Come on guys, you know that I am always giving them heritage lessons: Bama football, southern cooking (fried chicken) and of course, I school them in good ole' southern folk music. How I can be raising Yankees, just listen to the "yee haws" in this video!

Ok, so they might sound like little yankees but they know where their Mama is from!



Rule:
Give a heritage lesson.
