Thanks to my awesome team of 5 gals I promoted to Director this month with 31!  I am blessed beyond words!  I love 31 and what it stands for and I love the products!  This faith based company has allowed me to pay bills, pay for braces, buy Christmas gifts without dipping in to the family budget, and I have met many many great women!!  Based on Proverbs 31, the Virtues of a Woman.  

Happy Fall!!

School & Braces

First day of school!! 7th grade for AJ and 4th grade for Reece. I sure miss my boys when they are gone to school all day! Plus this year AJ will walk to football practice everyday after school so I don't get to see him until 6:30 each evening! With homework, supper, and showers I will see him less and less :( makes me sad but he is growing up!! Both of the boys are such good kids, God greatly blessed me with all 3 of these boys!
Speaking of growing up, AJ got his braces yesterday! He wears them for 20 months, so most of Jr. High. He is adjusting to them okay. He did have some pain before school this morning so I am hoping he did okay on his first day of school today. Counting down the days til Christmas Break (lol) Gearing up for a fun but busy fall with football practices, games, plus Jake is going back to school to get his Principal's license! Lots of changes in our household! Hope everyone has a great school year!

 We recently went on a 2-wk vacation to the East Coast.  Actually the start of our trip was in Ohio, at Cedar Point.  The boys loved the rides, coasters, games, etc...  It was a good time, we spent 2 days there.  Then we drove to my uncle's in Maryland.  The boys went to an Orioles game one evening while my aunt hosted a Thirty-One party with all of her friends.  It was a great time!  Then we took one day and went to Washington DC, it was a very hot day but very interesting as well.  (kind of).  We did a lot of shopping, swimming, and loving on my cousin's 6mos old baby!  We then drove to their shore house in VA.  It was a blast!  My uncle has a boat so the boys were able to tube.  Also he has wave runners which were a big hit as well!  We did a lot of swimming and just relaxing at the shore house.

 My aunt and I put out crap traps in the bay.  Very exciting.  Kind of gross putting the raw chicken in the traps but we did catch 12 crabs!  Jake had quite a feast the last night we were there!  I think Reece tried the crabs but didn't really like them.  We had a great time!  We love to go over there to visit, they spoil us a little bit too :)
