Play Time!

Last night, Lane, Trent, and I drove up to find this in our backyard.


Trent couldn't believe how big it was.


The boys couldn't wait to get on it.


I tried to get them both in a cute picture, but Trent just wanted to get back on the "Lide".


Lane was like a monkey crawling all over it.


Trent loved the slide and thought he was a big boy for being able to go down it himself.


He always landed on the grass with a thud, but he still had the best time.


Obviously, his stitches aren't phasing him one bit. His eye is a little bruised today, but it's still nowhere near where I thought it would be as far as a black eye.
So, we're all doing well. Lane has started football practice this week, and he's really excited about it. I just can't believe he's on the 6th grade team now, and he's as tall as I am... I feel so old and short.

I am getting my hair highlighted today... I'm a little nervous, but I'm ready for a change from the dark brown (mainly because I don't want to have to keep tanning, and a dark color on me without a tan makes me look a little goth...).

I hope you all have a great weekend!

What's up with Trent?

Trent had to hae surgery yesterday to remove a cyst from his face. So, we've had kind of a hectic week, but I've managed to get a few pictures.

Trent turned rocker in the bath:


When he got out of the bath, he tried striking a few poses for the camera:


Then he agreed to let Mom get in on the action:


After a busy day of posing and Pre-Op, he took a power nap before going to socialize:


Once rested, it was time to go see his girlfriend, Brooklyn. She met us at the door and greeted Trent with a hug:


This is Brooklyn (she likes to be really close to the camera):


She's pretty silly, but a lot of fun:


The next morning, we headed to the hospital bright and early. Trent was not all that excited when he woke up in the waiting room. You can see the cyst on the side of his nose pretty well here:


He finally woke up and started playing while we were waiting to be called up.

Dad, What's that on your head?


Oh, of course, it's a horse.


I can do it, too!


Ahhh, the things we do to keep kids entertained. Anyway, the surgery went well... He has 4 stitches, and we've found out that he has an adverse reaction to Lortab... it makes him CRAZY! I will update later with post-surgery pics.

Hope all is well!!

It's been a long time...

So, I know I haven't updated in a while, and I know all 2 of you who check this may have been wondering if I forgot. I didn't. I started my new job as Principal at Millcreek in Starkville, and I just didn't have a computer of my own for a little while.

Anyway, so now I'm back, and I will be doing my best to update with pictures and updates of the fam in the next few days. Hope you all are well :).
