"I could never hold you...or tell you goodbye...

...But I'll hold you in heaven someday" -author unknown

One year ago, my precious nephew left us and went to a better place. 20 years ago this week, my father went to that same place and I can only hope he is with Van now, holding him for all of us who lost him. I miss you Vance Joseph.....and think about you everyday.

Lazy Sunday

Not too much happened this weekend but I wanted to post one last time before school starts tomorrow. I'm going to be getting home at 10pm 2 nights a week now for a couple classes and the other two will probably keep me pretty busy also. We didn't do much today. Hung out at home and went to the park after dinner...fun fun. This is my last semester of Collin College...till TWU in the spring...wish me luck!

Hangin'Around

"Monkey Munch" (looks gross, but tastes good)

Gage Thomas "truckin" around

This is the weekend before mommy's classes start and daddy is out of town, so we're hanging around the house, just relaxing. The weekend started on Friday when we went to Gammy's house and mommy's car decided to "break". By break, I mean the engine decided to blow. We had smoke coming from under the hood all through The Colony. We also got pulled over by the police for speeding, but after mommy got done yelling at the cop about the car being a danger to her children...he let us go! Gammy took us home and spent the night and we're hanging around the house today, swimming and playing. Mommy also decided to try out a snack from her favorite show on TLC (Jon&Kate plus 8), so after lunch we made some "Monkey Munch." Yum Yum.

Rain Rain, Go Away!

Is it weird that both their feet are in the exact same position?? (playing with fun box items from US Toys)

Gage and Jersey playing tug-of-war

The weather isn't easing up much and the boys are getting a little crazy being stuck indoors. If it wasn't for the thunder and lightning, I'd let them play in the rain just to keep them from going nuts in the house!! Anyway, here are a couple pictures from today. I figure I would post as much as possible this week because fall semester starts next week and I don't know how busy I'm going to be. :)

"C" and "G" Unit

Gammy was nice and took us shopping today and we got some really cool "pirate" jackets and we couldn't wait to wear them when we got home!!

It's A Boy!!

Best picture I could get of Jersey

All the boys

Meet "Jersey" Nicholson! The boys got the 3 month old puppy this weekend from Mimi and Pop. After finding "Jersey", they placed an ad in the paper and after no calls, they decided to give him to the boys! So far, so good. Only a couple accidents in the house, but otherwise he's been really good with the boys and vice versa. He's a Scottish terrier like George Bush's dog in the White House. He's real cute and playful, and so far hasn't driven me completely insane. Stay tuned for that...

Crazy Boys!!

Two cute!!

Yes, in case you're wondering...she asked for the moose!

So, I was finishing up the final touches on my latest teacher sign, and I noticed the boys were being pretty quiet. I had just given them popsicles, so this made me a little nervous, because they were unusually quiet. I found them sitting in the entryway of the laundry room sitting in a laundry basket. They had pillows and blankets in there like it was a little bed...eating their popsicles. Considering all the fighting they had been doing lately...I thought this was a perfect "brother moment" and got out the camera!
