I wanna be

**WARNING On My Heart OMH POST AGAIN** So I have been battling with some things here lately! I will have to give my friend Brooke Hill the credit for this thought provoke. She wrote this amazing blog and I wanted to quote here on something.

"I haven't felt "in" in certain situations..and if you are not in a certain group, then you don't get included..or you are left out...I know it sounds totally high school'ish..but I think our sinful nature wants us to feel liked or included. But at the moment I think I don't fit in b/c I do not partake in many of the things others do, I also know that my God is there with me and that He takes care of us and gives us encouragement as He did tonight with the message...I want to be different..I want others to say, wow, something is different about her..a good kinda different. And you know when I think about "not being asked to do something", I pray that they know my answer would be no thanks, and that I don't do that..."

She wrote exactly how I am feeling right now in my life. I feel like I don't fit in with certain crowds and certain crowds I DO NOT want to fit into. If you do not go to a certain church then certain people do not talk to you. If you do not hang out with a certain crowd then your children will not fit in because they only hang with there parents friends children. Then your children get labeled and everyone assumes your child is bad just because she likes to talk. My daughter is not BAD and I do not care who says so. I just want to live a life that I know without a shadow of a doubt is pleasing to the father. I know all of this sounds very HIGH SCHOOL as Brooke said but this is really what goes on around here. I do not want to be one of those people that will just go with the flow and just do things because that crowd this day or that crowd the next day is doing something I know in my heart is wrong. I want to love and submit to my husband just as the Bible points out for us to do. I want my children to one day rise up and call me blessed. I only have so long with them and I am guilty of letting the day to day things get in the way of being a great Momma. I have put friendships above my husband and my children. That is no longer. My friendships will as my best friend says come in a close 4th God,Husband,Children, Church ha ha Not saying its wrong to have friends its just wrong when they are in the wrong order. I am so guilty of the wrong order and praise God that no longer.

I want to be a woman of character a woman of integrity ( that's something not to many people strive for these days)a woman that says NO MATTER WHAT Jesus I am following you. I want when people first meet me to say Oh there is something about you that I need in my life. I want when I walk into a room the devil and the people he uses to flee because Jesus is so big in me that they can't stand to be in the room with me. I want people to already know my character and my boundary's and think twice before asking me to do things. I do sometimes get my feelings hurt when I am not invited to things but then just like My WONDERFUL GODLY friend Brooke pointed out maybe they did not invite us because they knew we would not go to something like this. I want relationships that sharpen me in my daily walk with the Lord. Brooke I know we have only met face to face once and only talk on the phones, emails and through blogs but I have got to give you some credit where it is deserved. YOU SHARPEN ME MORE THAN YOU KNOW! Thank you for giving me this wake up call. I hope I did not just freak a bunch of you out! ha ha This is what was my heart today! I hope everyone has a great long weekend we have got one busy weekend and holiday ahead. I pray everyone has a safe holiday weekend. Blessings!

I am such a follower funny yearbook pic's!

 

 

 

 

HELP

Someone help me upload a video to this. I have one of "S" dancing its so funny but I can't get it load on here using that little video can it be to long to load? I am just curious?

 

One election down one run off to go!

OK yesterday was such a long long long day! We got up got the kids feed, dressed, prayed with and on the bus! Hubby and I decided to go back to bed ha ha So Hubby got an extra hour of sleep I however got two and "S" got 4. That little boog did not get up to like 15 till 11:00 which was fine by me because we were going to be on the go all day. "S" and I headed to our store to pick up Hubby to go vote then to grab lunch then back to our shop to remain the rest of the day. My Mom and Pop in law were standing at the polls all day long and there had to be someone there to answer the phones and run the front. I picked the girls up from school early because I did not want them to ride the bus home to nobody! "M" had another great day that's 4 in a row. I know most of you would be ashamed to say that your so excited your daughter is having issues at school and super excited when she has 4 good days in a row. NOT ME I am just so stinking proud of her she is learning self control and that means her daddy and I are doing our job! We are teaching her all those fruits of the spirit she is catching on one fruit at a time! I AM SO PROUD! Well we went back to the store did all our homework. I had to go to the health department to get my birth certificate that was a fast and easy process. Jackson County has one of the cleanest health departments I have ever seen. I of course remember the one down town Huntsville that smelled horrible and was missing floor tiles why you might ask do I remember the missing floor tiles well because that's were I sat because it was standing room only. ha ha When we got back to the store Silas was climbing as always and fell onto a drawer. He cut his mouth REALLY REALLY bad from his back mawler all the way up to his lip. I did not think it would ever stop bleeding! ughhh by the end of the night it looked horrible.

Well sometime around 6:30 we head down to the Rec-Com to hear the final results of all the hard work my family has been doing since my Pop qualified for office. My sister in law and nephew came into town so they were there with us just like the rest of the town was there. We were electing Mayor and 2 city council seats. I just walked and walked and walked I was getting so nauseous I have said it before on this blog It was rough on us when he got beat 4 years ago. Well it was hard to pace the front and keep up with the kids so I took all four kids back to our truck and we watched the old cartoon speed racer. I was watching all the little kids with there red t shirts running around and playing I knew something had happened when I heard a roar and saw the little red shirts running toward the front of the rec com. So the results were in and we have a new Mayor Mr. Potter whom I have met maybe a couple of times but I feel like he is going to do a great job. Let me say I pray that he is going to do a great job that's one of those positions that you just have to pray for them daily to make the right decisions for our city and I believe he will be praying that same prayer. I am happy! Now onto our race my Pop is in a run off with Gary Spears. I have to say I never saw that coming and that is no disrespect to Mr. Spears because well I did not know anything about him, but I now know he is the Vic Principal in a Scottsboro City School. I just knew we were going to be in a run off with our neighbor Buddy Simmons. The other seat is Sandy Walker (I am sorry If I got her last name wrong)and Thurmond Bell. After the election there were lots of cheers and lots of tears. I felt horrible for the ones that did not win or make it to the run off. I know I should have been more excited about us making it further but I also remember how it felt to be on that end of the stick and it was heart breaking and you feel so betrayed. I pray that these people will take a day or two to take it in then move on and try to find out what they are going to do once the new elect take office.
I have to say I have never (well maybe not never but gives good dramatic effect) been so proud to have this last name than I was last night. Most people when they win or loose hit all the parties and normally my father in law does the same. Last night NO he just wanted to be with his family. It was like very symbolic to me and It just reaffirmed to me that I was right about him all along his love for his family is what is pushing him to put himself out there like this. He above all else loves his family and just wanted to relax and be with us. Not saying he did not want to be with the people that got him this far but that he just needed time to be with us since he started we have not gotten to have that and it was WONDERFUL! I LOVE MY IN LAW'S (until they hack me off ha ha ha ha ha) Well That was my day in a nut shell. We now have six more weeks of hard work and pounding the pavement trying to let people see who my father in law as the loving, hard working man he is. I just like I have said before that I just want the town of Scottsboro to know and love this man like I do. Well I am off to go get a shower and go take my passport picture and then to the court house to get it. I hope everyone is having a great day. Blessings

I had to blog about it!

So this morning my sister sends me an email telling me to go look at a slide show that one of the families she met at the Blog Union in Cali a few weeks ago. They are in Ethiopia right now picking up there baby Abe. I hope they do not mine me sharing this link with you if so please contact me and I will take it down.

Precious Family Picking up there baby


I have dreamed about the day Laura and Sean bring there "M" home. I mean I honestly have dreams about it not day dreams but night time dreams! I have dreamed I was there with her when she first stretched her hands out and her face lit up when she saw her little girl for the first time. I have dreamed I was waiting at the hotel for the call to tell me she has her in her hands and I have dreamed I was waiting at the airport with big balloons, signs and all in t-shirts welcoming our new "W" girl (we know she is Byars, but all these little girls Laura and I have they are so "W" without a doubt they so have our attitudes).

I am and have been so excited and willing to tell anyone that will listen about my sister's adoption. I have researched (as Laura would say) and talked to complete stranger's at Disney World who's sister was adopting and sharing stories. I mean I can honestly say I think I am in love with this little girl and I have never even seen her face. I know I am not near as excited or in love with this little girl like my brother in law and sister is, but when I think about it my heart just leaps.
I know, I know some of you who know me well are thinking what you are you talking about? I know Laura and I have had our moments where we wanted to kill each other did not speak for MONTHS that's right MONTHS but no matter what even if we did not like each other we have always loved each other. I have to say I have a new love for her and for the experience she is going through right now. I know there have been a few times in my life where I would not publicly say I am proud of her but I am. I am so proud of what she is doing, she is not just talking about saving the world, she is giving feet to the word, she is making a difference one baby at a time, she is gathering humanity add to give to these other children who might not ever be adopted, I have watched her faith grow and grow and grow as she relies on God to see her through all of this. I guess I do not say it enough but LAURA YOU JESUS LOVIN MOMMA you I am proud of you and I love you.

This morning while I am getting ready to go to the polls to stand around and ask people to vote for my father in law. I will be thinking of that Momma, Daddy, brothers, sister, aunts, grandparents who are right now making a difference and like Laura said THIS IS THE FATHER'S HEART THESE ORPHANS are his children just like we are. OK I had to say all this I have watched the video over and over and cried my eyes out every time. I hope all of you who read are having a great rainy day. Blessings!

Back by Popular Demand!

HA HA Yeah right! There really has not been a lot going on! The ground is leveled and ready to have an official ground breaking. This rain we are getting today is doing my land a world of good lets face it this rain is doing everything a world of good. We have been going on the weekends buying things here and there for the house. We bought our front door and can I just tell you I am super excited because the door we priced was 4,823.00 at Lowe's well Bo goes to Dixie Salvage out in Ft. Payne and there is our door for 1,500.00 needless to say we bought it fast before they could mark it up! hee hee We have been getting quotes for dry wall, flooring, roofing, electricians, lights, cabinets. I don't know if I just did not know how much things cost or what but every time I hear a new quote I swallow all kinds of bug from the gasp I let out. During the week we are working, schooling, and homeworking. Nothing really fun or important. The Saturday before last we went to the Lions club hot dog and Bingo supper. Bo and I always have a good ol time doing that. We never ever win but we sit with the older crowd and I have to say they are way more fun then folks my age. They are so blame funny!
While we were there a friend of mine txt me and tells me a mutual friend of ours grandmother passed away while she was renewing her wedding vows on her 50th wedding anniversary! It just broke my heart she passed away with all her friends and family standing around her. From what I understand she was the rock that held the family together a true matriarch to her family. I think in a way what a way to go out of this world with all your family surrounding you and celebrating a love that lasted her lifetime. I was sad for Terrell and his family but I know they will pull together they are a strong family!
We are having a blast teaching our little kindergartner's there little personalities are starting to show they are getting use to us and We love it. This past Sunday one of our students who has NEVER I MEAN NEVER said a word out loud for three weeks straight now said his Bible verse to Bo and I got the biggest smile because I knew we were reaching these children. One of them even told me when he was leaving I love you Mrs. Lisa! awwww I love these kids they are little sponges that are soaking up the word. Its just a blessing to be apart of it.
Tomorrow is the election and I have to say I am so stinking nervous I can't stand it. I know win or loose my father in law is going to be fine for that matter the whole family is going to be fine. I just I mean I take it personal when you loose an election its a popularity contest and I feel like people are saying my father in law is not good enough. I love this man so so much and I hate to see him let down or hurt and I just want people to love him like I do. I know that's not possible you can't please everyone all the time but ughhh I just start to get a tight chest when I think about it. My hubby God love him is more laid back about it than I am. Just pray for us pray that God's will be done in this election. I am reminded of something I saw on the movie "Facing the Giants "If we win we are going to praise him if we loose we are going to praise him" that is how I feel about this. God is still on the throne if we win or loose. Well guys this is my post in all its crazy glory! PLEASE REMEMBER WHATEVER CITY YOU ARE IN WHATEVER STATE YOU ARE IN GO VOTE! A soldier gave his life for you the right to vote and I don't know about you but I can not not use that right! My father and mother have instilled in my sister's and I the privilege of voting. The day we turned 18 they took us to register. So please please please use your vote and use it wisely. Even if you choose to not vote its still a vote because its one less for the opponent! I pray everyone is doing well and enjoying the rain because you all know we need it!Blessings!

Help I missed the bus and can't shut up!

Well I slept like poowy last night so it was so hard to get up at 5:40 this morning. So hard that I stayed in bed till 5:55 hee hee My girls were up eating there cereal. They eat then go brush there teeth wash there face and do there hair! Get dressed and run to the door! As we are getting out the gate we look up and the bus comes to maybe a half a second stop and pulls off. It was like 6:36 normally he does not come until 6:40 so we were on time he was just early! The girls went into freak mode crying. Bo tells them to hop in the car and he chased the bus down and get's them on the bus then comes back to the house!

Bo called me all through the day today. I think he really loves me or is just bored out of his mind now that we are going out of pool season! hee hee MacKenzie called Bo from school twice today and he called me every time she called to tell me what she was calling about! First she left her Monday folder then the next call was because her ear hurt!

Well she gets home and tells us I had to pull 2 cards. Ok I would never ever admit this in front of the children because well that's just bad parenting. Talking I can almost take that because bless there hearts they don't get to do much talking anymore while they are in school from Kindergarten on up! I am ok with it I think these children need discipline on a huge scale. BUT BUT BUT My child today while everyone was doing there work in silence was making that's right you guessed it PIG noises like OINK OINK OINK! Can someone tell me what the heck that is all about? PIG NOISES BE FOR REAL MACKENZIE BOATNER! I need some help here Mother's of talker's what do I do to help her realize she has gotta help Mrs. Worley do her job. I told MacKenzie we all have job's at school that Mrs. Worley's job is to teach and that MacKenzie's job was to listen and learn not talk and make noises! Sheeeeesh! I don't want to have another year of spanking her bottom, taking her things away (cause lets face it she does not have much to take away here) I seriously have tried everything my sister has told me to try and nothing seems to be helping! I know some people are just talker's I am one of them but I even know when to shut up! ughhhh OH PLEASE HELP ME YE MASTER'S OH MOTHERHOOD!

On a good note our land is looking awesome and we are getting so close to breaking ground! I think we are going to wait till after this election to get started! When the head of a family runs for office the whole family runs for office. My girls have been going door to door with my in-laws meeting people and giving them a card and maybe if they are lucky a mint! ;o) No really I will say I am not a fan of the political ring. The last time he ran for Mayor and did not win It broke my heart. If anyone in this world is running for office for all the right reason's its my father in law. He honestly loves his place and believes that these people are the best you will ever find. He wants to make Scottsboro a better place and he has a lot at stake he is working not only for everyone else and there families but his legacy will be here once he is gone! He wants to continue to make Scottsboro an even better place than it already is. OK This is not a paid political advertisement its just how I feel about this man. He is amazing, he gets on my nerves and sometimes I wanna kill him, but when my hole world has fallen apart twice he was the first one there to hold me and let me cry and told me he was going to do whatever it took to help fix it because that's what Daddy's do. He has helped so many people that I for one would have told to go jump off a bridge. He is a master at forgiveness and second chances. He has his Moments but I love him and he would do this city good to be on the council again! That's just a daughter talking lol :o) Got pic's of the land check them out! Blessings!

Doctor's appointments and Pink Punch Buggies!

Today I had a Doctor's appointment with my dermatologist! I had a few spots on my back that were worrying me because they are just ever changing! ;o) My doctor always tells me its the spot's that keep changing not the ones that stay the same that I need to get checked! It was funny cause once I was on the table for my exam my doctor says Oh WOW Mrs. Boatner you have a bunch of moles! With as many moles as you have I have to see you at least twice a year. He does my exam and the spots out of maybe the 15 that I had questions about only one looked suspicious to him.
So he scheduled surgery for me on Sept 11th and I will return on the 25th for my pathology report! I am not worried about it I have had this done before when I was 12and everything turned out just fine well except for the ugly scars it leaves!
Bo got to go with me to the appointment because he had to go to Huntsville anyway to pick up some supplies from our pool supplier's so after we picked up the supplies we headed to a local Mexican restaurant for a late lunch. OK here is where the pink punch buggy comes into play! Ever since we went to Atlanta we have been screaming PUNCH BUGGY every time we see a Volkswagen Beetle or the original bug if we are lucky enough to catch the classic on the road. We have the biggest time playing this and it makes the trips seem shorter! Well today on our way to the Mexican restaurant I see the MOTHER of all punch Buggies! Its PINK with RED LIPS. I tried to get a picture but Huntsville Driver's are so not patient and about ran over us while I tried to get my camera phone to take the picture. I just knew that was going to make MacKenzie and Isabella's day to see a picture of this wonderful piece of an automobile, but I did not get it. :o( So if anyone is driving down sparkman on any given day and see this Mother of all Punch Buggy's on the side of the road will you please take a picture of it and send it to me so I can show my girls! ;o) Well its 9:00 and I am beat from today's activities! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful Monday! Blessings!

Oh One more thing

WE BROKE GROUND ON THE NEW HOUSE! yippee well kinda ;o) We are just moving dirt so we can officially break ground in a few weeks. Bo and I are so excited. Here are the only pictures I got!

Kindergarten Class Little Praisers

Thursday afternoon Bo got home early. He had to help JT load Alli's 400 lb cast iron claw foot tub into our truck from the 18 wheeler that could not make it back into our neighborhood. So when Bo got home he got a shower and we were off to Huntsville for our first Coordinator's meeting since we went on sabbatical in December! Bo and I attend an amazing church that totally believe that we lay the ground work for children's relationship with the Lord starting in Little praisers and kinder-church. Bo and I both love what we do in this ministry however I think I have just a tiny little more love for it. You see the children's pastor Pastor Norm was my children's pastor as a child. The church we attended did not allow us to call him pastor so we called him Uncle Norm. I am still trying to get in the habit of calling him Pastor Norm. My kids even sometimes call him that because they were so use to hearing me say it. I just think its such a blessing to be able to have sat under him as a child and now to be working in his ministry. He and his wife are brilliant and really are on the cutting edge of children's ministry. It's just a privilege and an honor to serve under them. They just rock!!!

Thursday night we got to the meeting and its been a running joke with us and Pastor Norm and Pastor Liz that we have spent this summer on the go. She has been calling us traveling hippies! So when we come in Pastor Norm says Oh everyone let us introduce you to the new guys. ha ha ha We had a great meal and got to fellowship with our coordinator family then we got down to business. Talking about some changes that were gonna take place and just tossing idea's up in the air. Then he gave a small devotion on Sheparding our Flock. Just pretty much teaching us about knowing what's going on in our fellow coordinator's lives and in the lives of the parents and the children. It was a great teaching and I learned a lot from it. Then we had prayer time and I have to say I totally needed that prayer time we just went around the room laying hands on our Coordinator family and praying over them and the things going on in there lives. It was WONDERFUL! Then it was time to talk to Pastor Norm and Liz one on one for Bo and I. Bo and I are just super excited about what they had to say. Since we did not graduate a lot of children into Kids Quest this year our 4-5year olds class was just getting to big in second service. Soooo they decided that we would create a Kindergarten only class and they asked Bo and I to take it and run with it. Bo and I are now the Kindergarten Coordinator for Second Service. We are so stinkin excited because we love this age group and were so honored that they would trust this new adventure with us. We got our lesson and shown where our new room would be and off we went.
This Morning we taught our first class and it went wonderful everything runs like a well oiled machine! Well everything but my son he just switched to the 2 year old class room and he totally freaks at Believers Bayou. So other than Silas going crazy it was a great morning and we are just soooooooooo excited to be pouring into these kids lives. God is faithful.

First Day 2008

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The girls got up at 5:45 a.m and ate breakfast. Then it was time to eat and get out the door! They were both super excited and happy to see Mr. Holt and all of there friends. It was precious to me as we were walking into the school they said Mom take a picture of us with Mr. Holt he was standing outside to great all of the kids as they came into class. So we took that picture and as we were walking down the halls all of the staff was saying Hello to MacKenzie and Isabella. One lady said MacKenzie can I have a hug I have missed your hugs all summer long! That just made her morning and she said sure and gave this lady a big old hug. First we dropped Bella off and she was ready for us to go she even said Mom enough pictures GO. So we gave her kisses and sent her on her first day of 1st grade with Mrs. Lusk.
Then we were off to drop Kenzie off. First she had to stop by Mrs. Willis room her 2nd grade teacher to say Hello. Then we were off to her class she was so happy all smiles saying hello to everyone. Then we got to her door and her smile quickly faded to a frown and she started to panic. We of course tried to ignore it so Mommy would not make it worse by crying for her. Well we get a picture of her and her teacher Mrs. Worley (who we were so excited to get her we were praying and crossing all our finger's and toes for her) She took the picture and then we said Bye baby we love you see you after school. We turned around and walked out and Me being Mommy had to go back and check on her and I caught her sitting with her head down very upset! I just told her baby get up and go see your friends you will be fine. I then made myself walk off. I don't know something about 3rd grade is just huge to me. I think I cried more at 3rd grade then I did kindergarten. She is so big and is just so beautiful! I guess my baby is growing up so fast it just made me wanna take her home with me and sit all day with her in my lap. She is an amazing kid who minds so well and just loves to please me. I am so blessed. :o) Well they seemed to both have great day's and Kenzie was so happy when she got off the bus that afternoon. They were both just chewing my ears off telling me this and that and who they met that lives in our new neighborhood. All in all they had a great day and Mommy finally got it all together. :o)

Since you've been gone!

Well since that's one of my favorite songs ha ha! Since I have been gone my laptop crashed and I lost all of my beach pictures and all pictures of Silas Birthday party so I won't be posting any pictures of his birthday party! Boo

Well since I last posted we took Silas to see the Wiggles. ha ha He had such a blast! It was so precious we let him get down to walk into the arena he was looking around like oh this is more than I wanna be around. He looked a little frightened to be honest. Then he looked up and saw the big Wiggles sign hanging from the rafter's and it was like you could see his thought process. He get's this huge smile on his face and point’s ohhhhh wiggles! It was precious Bo and I of course were not all that excited but seeing Silas so happy and him really getting into something was priceless! We had a great time with just our little man!

That Friday we got up cleaned the house, swam a bit then did the rest of the laundry. After we got done with all of that I packed all of our bags. We headed to Grant to drop Silas off for the weekend with my parents because we were taking the girls to Six Flags and White Water for the weekend! We got back to town trying to find our friend who gave us the tickets because Bo had invited one of our friends and he FINALLY told us the day of that he was gonna go so we had to hunt Rob down for the extra ticket. ha ha Marvin is all I am going to say hahaha. We left Scottsboro around 8:30 that night and I think we ended up in Atlanta sometime around 12:30 our time. We got in did not even change clothes we all just climbed up in the beds and went to sleep. The next morning we met Marvin at the Wendy's before you get to Six Flags and picked him up. No need in paying two parking’s right? We had such a great time I was very proud of MacKenzie she rode EVERY SINGLE RIDE in the park! I mean I am talking the ones I would never ever ride. I said over and over she reminded me of my older sister Laura. That girl is not afraid to ride anything. ha ha Bella and I rode every ride that Bella was tall enough to ride. I did ride a couple of rides with out her that she was not tall enough for. I was pretty proud of myself as well ha ha I am so afraid of heights but I rode just about all of the rides. The only one I did not ride was superman and goliath. Ha ha Well it started raining around 5:45 and we were done. So we just left ha ha who gets done with Six Flags in like five hours. We bought the fast pass thing my friend Lindsay recommended and I have to say I will never ever go there again without purchasing it again. We had different lines than everyone else we would enter the exit if there were no fast pass lines at the ride. IT WAS GREAT! We had a great time and so glad Marvin got to go with us because that boy is crazy funny. My daughter loves her some Marvin they even have nicknames for each other its very cute! We dropped him off at his car and then we went to this great little restaurant around the corner from our hotel Panda Express OH MY MERCY it was so good and cheap! We goofed off around the hotel and went to bed early we were exhausted.
Sunday we got up and got our bathing suits on and headed to Whitewater. We had such a great time doing all the slides and splashing around in the wave pool and the three kids zones. I think Bo and I had the best time laughing at what some people in this world wear to places like this. I mean come on now I had no idea they make bikinis that big! WOW anyway Bella had a few little problems at the water park. She is so light weight and tiny that she really does take off and fly down some of these slides one of them I bet you her little bottom never touched the slide from the initial push off at the top. The one where you cross your arms/legs and just slide straight down. haha it was so funny she had the best time on that one. Then there was another time she got stuck in one of the totally enclosed slides and Bo went down after her and he ran straight into her knocked her off her float. Thank Goodness his fatherly instincts were on cause he reached after her and grabbed her and put her on his float with him. She was scared to death God love her! After that we had just a great time splish splashing around! Then headed back to Bama to pick up or little guy. I miss him so much and its funny he looked taller to me when I first laid eyes on him. While at My mother's Silas learned to scream to the top of his lungs and sing songs. ha ha so it’s so cute now to hear him sing songs to the top of his lungs.

Monday we just relaxed a bit Bo went to buy me a bike and get Silas a little yuppie trailer that attaches to the back of his bike. We decided to go on our first Boatner family bicycle ride. Well while going down one of these big ol hills in our neighborhood Bella was going probably 25-30 mph and for some strange reason just jumped off the bike and hurt herself pretty bad. She has road rash all down her left side and was very sick to her tummy. I was worried she may have even through all her pads and helmet bumped her head to hard. I was up all that night I may have slept 1 1/2 hours worrying about my girl.

Bo and I have decided its time to get healthy so we are on a diet and riding bikes to get some exercise.
