A few of his favorite things.

I was tagged by Amy so here goes a few of Terence's favorite things.

1. His Kids-I am amazed at how much a man can love something that is so small. There is nothing that he would not do for his kids.

2. Friends-For those of you that know my hubby, you know that once you are friends with him, he is loyal. It may take him a while to make friends but once you're in, you'll have to screw up big time for him not to keep you around.

3. He has recently taken up golfing. Not exactly my sport. I like to drive the golf carts but that's as far as my interest in it goes. Kudos to you T for having the patience for it.

4. His work. He may complain about it but he likes working at United. He's been there for 11 years and has made some of the best friends there.

5.His truck. It may be getting old, but that is still his truck. It took him 1 1/2 years and a wreck before I got to drive it.

6. His family--in laws and all. He is so loving to all of them.

7. Shooting pool with his buddies. Let's just say when we got married I made him move the pool table out of the dining room. Lol. He's good at it too.

8. Dallas Cowboy Football-His ringer is the NFL theme song during football season and he's from Texas...need I say more. 8. Me. He's kept me around for 3 years of dating, 5 years of marriage, 2 dogs, and 2 kids. I sure hope I'm one of his favorite things. I know he's one of mine.

So in tradition I don't really have any women to tag. So I tag Randy Wilson. (tell us about Becky)

New Kittens

Well this weekend my two kiddos stayed with my in-laws so that Terence and I could attend a surprise birthday party for one of our best friends. While they were there 2 kittens, whose eyes aren't even open yet, were discovered under Danny's boat. Their mother, poor thing, they found dead. So even though Stephanie does not like cats because she's allergic to them, she is nursing them with bottles and getting up and down with them. Sean is helping so much. His cat is gray with a white patch around it's nose and Kali's is Black with orange and white speckles on it's side. They are so cute. Sean stayed with Danny and Steph again last night so he could help take care of the babies.


Sean has had an amazing week. He is so resilient. Week ago we had the hair fiasco. Thursday night at the pep rally a hot ash from the lighting of the numbers hit him in the eye. Then on Friday, Mom called and said that his horse, Moses, had died. He told us that Moses was old and that he was sick and he's not sick any more. He was a little sad but saw the good side of it all. I had a harder time losing Moses I think. He was such a sweet horse. I think that I loved him that much because of how good he was to Sean. He never once tried to hurt Sean and always looked for him to come visit and feed him.


On a brighter note, the kittens are doing great and when I asked the kids what they named them their responses.....Sean "Just Kitty".....Kali"Cat" So we have two kittens and their names are Kitty and Cat. How cute is that. Well that's all for now.

IN MEMORY OF MOSES

They Know How to Get What They Want!!!

Friday was a crazy day for me. I was at the office working and as usual Sean asked if he could use the scissors and cut some paper into pieces. I have showed him how to use the scissors and he does a really great job. He is really careful not to cut his fingers. Again as usual I forgot one very important detail. Give him instructions on what not to cut. You guessed it!! He gave himself a haircut. Let me take you back two days. We were visiting with Jacob and Kristy and their boy Tyler needed a haircut. Tyler being just like his daddy wants it buzzed off. Sean, being the smaller of the two boys and loving Tyler as much as he does, wants his hair buzzed too. He wants to be like Tyler. I get that. It's great Tyler is a great role model. I tell Sean that he has to discuss the haircut with his dad before we let Jacob buzz it off. Back to Friday, I turn around to find a chunk of Sean's hair missing. There is hair all over the office floor. I am ready to die because I know what's coming. I calmly tell him that he can't cut his own hair with scissors and that now we have to go to see Miss Joy at the Barber Shop. He's excited. We get to Joy's hoping to be able to fix it because on Wednesday he has school pictures. Can't fix it. Have to buzz it all off. When Joy finishes I tell Sean that all his hair is gone. His response, you got it!! "Me told you me wanted a haircut like Tyler's" I cannot keep in the laugh anymore. He figured out how to get exactly what he wanted. Little stinker. Can't help but love him.

My Mother!!

It never ceases to amaze me how much I act like my mother. Last night at church the kids were rowdy while waiting for the vans to leave. My mom had Kali on her hip cause she's spoiled and Nama's girl. Sean was with me and the kids would not sit down. They had eaten treats in class and were all kinds of hyped up. In order to get over the voices of 40 kids you have to be loud. My mom had attempted to calm them down and it didn't work. Me, being little Carolyn, was definitely loud enough for everyone to hear me. I remember when I was little and mom would have to get louder than us just to give us instructions. The looks on the kids faces yesterday was the same look that I had when I was little. I guess we always say we won't be like our mothers but when it comes down to it we all turn out that way. No problems though. At least I know with me being like my parents, hopefully my kids will follow in the footsteps of us and grow up like my brothers and I. We have tough times and rocky roads, but all in all we turned out OK! At least I think we did. Thanks Mom and Dad for instilling in me the wisdom and strength to raise my children the way we were raised.



On a lighter note, here's the picture of Sean giving Mom and Dad the keys to their new building. They are putting in a restaurant. The building needs lots of remodeling but it will be great. Sean helped Danny clean it out and showed Daddy around so it's "Sean's first Sale." He's what keeps me going. Everyday he asks me if I am gonna sell any houses.

Goodness How Fast They Grow Up

It's amazing how fast kids grow. Today when I dropped Sean off at school he told me that he didn't need me to walk him in. He said he was big enough to do it by himself. Broke my heart. He's growing into such a good boy. Before school started he relied on me for everything. And thanks to Ms. Carol, love her to pieces, Sean has gained independence and self-will. I am so grateful for this no matter how much it hurts for him to let go. I love him dearly. And Kali wants to grow up, but she's still too young for school. Bless her heart she cries everytime I take Sean to Ms. Carol's because she can't stay. If only she would stay a baby a little longer. Wishful thinking huh? I just pray that we will keep a close relationship like we do now. God Bless!!
