Summer Time, Summer Time, Sum, Sum, Summer Time

Yes, folks. Summer time is here, and I what fun we have already had. T-man is already looking like the Cooper Tone kid with his amazing little tan.

We have been to a great wedding this summer. Congrats to Kim and Josh! We have finished T-ball, and we have a weekend trip planned to the Comal River in late July. That will be fun!

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day, everyone! I know that I am a little early, but I probably won't get on the computer too much this weekend.

As we all get in our cars to head off for a fun family weekend, or we pull out the grill for a party, we need to all remember what Monday is really about. I remember every year what the true meaning is of Memorial Day. Here are my 3 reasons for remembering:

My Grandpa Abrams served in the Marine Corps during WWII. I am greatful that I still have him in my life and that he put his life on the line so that I could live in this great nation. Love you, Grampa!

My Grandpa Wells served in the Marines during the Korean War. He is no longer with us, but to him I am greatful for his hard work and dedication. I miss him dearly.

My Dad served as a Marine in the Vietnam War. While he didn't have to go over there and fight, he was willing to go. Thank you, Daddy, for caring for your country enough to be willing to put yourself into harms way. I love you!

To eveyone of our men and women that are in the military, thank you for the fight that you are continuing today. We, all, in America appreciate you. May God bless all of you and your families this weekend and every day.

Kindergarten, T-ball, Boot Camp

My, what a year this has been that has come and almost gone! Tman will be ending his first year in Kindergarten on Monday, May 18. It has been a fun year watching his little mind grow with the knowledge that his wonder teacher Mrs. N has taught him. I thank her for all her hard work and dedication. I know that my son would have been fine with any of the Kindergarten teachers, but she has been wonderful, and kept his head below the clouds.

In the conference paperwork that she sent home yesterday, she gave Tman several accolades from his academia being right on track or higher to his peers considering him to be a great friend. What an honor it was to read all the glowing reviews she had for my sweet little boy, who also came home from school yesterday with a sad face because his behavior was terrible. We all have bad days, it seems, and thankfully, he has only averaged 2 per 6-weeks. (Insert the happy dance here.)

How I am not yet ready for this year to be over because it doesn't seem possible that my son is old enough to be out of Kindergarten, he is super excited that he will be a full fledged 1st grader in August when school starts again. As Tman told me yesterday, "I am SOOOO totally ready for 1st grade!"

T-Ball has been so much fun. Tman has really enjoyed every minute of it, and Coach D is awesome with the kids. He and his family are great people that I am thankful that we have come to know and be-friended. P and I have enjoyed working with all the boys on the team.

Tman has played almost every position on the field, and I think that the positions that are his favorite are 1st and 3rd bases. He hasn't played Pitcher, yet, so I don't know if he will like that position or not, but then again, he loves the sport, so I am sure that he will love Pitcher, too.

Boot Camp is going great except for the ankle injury that flared up last month and will not go away no matter what I do.. I can see a difference in my clothes and how I feel since I have been working out. The class is so much fun, even though it is extremely early in the morning and hard as all get out from time to time. But, I keep working because I want to better myself so that I can have more fun with Tman and P. This week is the start of week 3 in month 2. I inadvertently forgot to set my alarm yesterday, and didn't make it to class. I felt like crap all day for not working out. But, I intend on keeping this up till I have lost all the weight or most of the weight that I am wanting to shed.
