Sixteen years ago...

I love to see the azalea's bloom...they are beautiful.  Sixteen years ago, I was on bed rest preparing for the birth of my first born.  Bed rest becomes old and boring fast.  You grow tired of what is on television and this was before we had the internet.  But then the azalea's bloomed.  I would sit and gaze at the beautiful flowers, watch the bumble bees buzz around the flowers and day dream about my baby.

Each year as the azalea's bloom, I remember being very pregnant and how much my life has changed.  I can't believe it has been sixteen years since my baby boy was born.  He has blessed our lives beyond measure.

Not Me! Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday!  The blog carnival that MckMama created.  Head on over to her blog and check what everyone else has been not doing...




I did not forget earth hour...I am always a good steward of mother earth and would never not realize it was earth hour until it was over.

I did not spend 3 hours cleaning bluedotprincess' room on Saturday...I would never allow my child's room to get that out of control.

I did not let bluedotteen watch The Hangover with us on Friday night and pause the movie and embaress him with random questions about the birds and the bees.  I am a great mom and would never allow my son to watch a unrated version of a movie, much less embarress him...oh and if I did that I most certainly would not have laughed and laughed at his embarssement.

I did not have a fabulous weekend and want it to last longer.  I am always so ready for Monday morning and the return to work and school.

There you have my not me's!  I hope everyone has a terrific week!

Wordless Wednesday

happy spring y'all!

ahhh spring break went by too fast!

spring break went by way too fast for me! we had a glorious break...it started out with my birthday :) followed by a trip to beaufort, sc; with side trips to hilton head, sc and charleston, sc. we stayed with some wonderful friends of ours that we met while we lived in nc...alex rediscovered his 7 year old self and legos. tulley had a blast with her friend hannah!

i think my favorite part of the trip was hanging out on the beach watching the kids play in the sand and walking around charleston. we loved the sc coast so much, that we have already booked a condo there for our summer vacation! i can't wait! a whole week of playing at the beach...i want to go back to charleston and want to visit savannah this trip too!

all in all it was a great spring break. i hated to see it end and all of our family time come to an end. i have an awesome family, btw!

so my countdown has begun for summer vacation...63 days and counting!
