ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally! Football season is upon us....thank goodness. It has been a long wait, and I am so glad it's here! I love the Crimson Tide!!!! Yes, we have had some bad years lately, but I am still a die hard fan and always will be! I'm headed over to Atlanta tomorrow to see the season opener against Clemson. I really don't know how it's gonna go...you never know what to expect the first game. But no matter what.....ROLL TIDE ROLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She ain't all that....

You all know how much I dislike celebrities, or some of them, and how they are so out of touch with the real world. I heard this morning that Jennifer Lopez was on GMA the other morning, telling us in all her glory, how she was training for a marathon 6 months after giving birth to her twins. That's all great and fine and dandy, but.... Number 1, who gives a rip? Number 2, I bet I could train for a marathon also if I had nannies taking care of my children and if I didn't have a real job. And then there was the report that a GMA staffer overheard her balking about how everyone was talking about "that swimmer from the Olympics", when SHE was the one who was training for a marathon after just giving birth a few months ago. First of all JLo, that swimmer has a name and it's Michael Phelps. Second, he is only the greatest athlete to date. Third, you can't even sing! :) I have a headache, and I need to go now....

Call me crazy...

but after the births of my 3 children, I don't recall having the urge or desire to save my placenta. Maybe I'm crazy, and I don't know that's the "thing" to do. But it seems that Matthew McCougnahey (sp?) has done that very thing. He is going to plant it so that a tree can bear fruit, bountifully. Well alrighty then....
There really are no words.

First Grade Already??

Walker started first grade yesterday, and it really saddened me because there were no parents hanging around. What a difference a year makes.... Last year in Kindergarten, we stayed for like an hour the first day and then we could walk them to class for the remainder of the week. But yesterday, I took him to his class, and all the students were sitting quietly at their table. Walker told me bye, and he looked like it killed him to do that much. So I didn't dare tell him I loved him. I walked out in the hall and took my pictures from out there. Then I was gone....

And this morning, he asked to ride the daycare bus to the school. WHAT???? You mean I can't drop you off just one more day???? "No momma, I want to ride the bus. But maybe you can tomorrow." :( I'm sure that won't happen either. oh well....they grow up too fast....

Brody's 5th Birthday

Brody turned 5 on July 31st, and he had lots of fun celebrating! I got cupcakes for him to take to school that day. Our good friend Tiffini checked him and Walker out of daycare and took him to McDonald's for lunch. She gave him an Alabama back pack, which he loved. And so did mommy...I may have to use it some time! :) Then he went back to daycare and had his cupcakes with his classmates. I fixed him pasketti (spaghetti) that night....it's his favorite! And then he had his Cars pull-apart cake that we all munched on and enjoyed a little too much! On Friday, Kathy and his nana took him, Walker, Brody's best friend Ryan, and Ryan's brother Tee to Chuck E Cheese to play. Then Ryan came to our house that night, and we took them to the kiddie carnival in the next city over. They had a ball doing that, but it was so humid! ugh! Bring on the fall weather! Anyway, Ryan stayed the night with us, and we got up the next day and they played til lunch time. Then I braved it and took them all to McDonald's for lunch and play time in the play zone. (Thank you God for Zoloft) All in all, I would say Brody had a great birthday. And now he tells us all the time that he's 5! What a milestone!

Give me time....

I know a lot of you have been asking about Brody birthday updates. I have been extremely busy, in life and at work. I do have the pictures loaded on my computer, but I've not had time to upload them to my blog or write about it. I hope to do that in the next couple of days. I also wanted to give it a few days since Sully's passing. I hated to follow up something so heart wrenching with something so exciting. But it's time.... I'll also update on Walker's first day back to school! :)

Heavy Heart

It is with a heavy heart that I write this....little Sully passed away at 6:50 on Saturday morning, Aug2. He died peacefully in his parent's arms. He is no longer suffering, but my heart is still broken.
God bless you all!

Sully

Keep praying for Sully....
His family has taken him off any kind of life support, and he is currently just on his pain pump and oxygen. Please pray for a peaceful and comfortable passing for him...

Please pray for Sully

Please pray fervently for little Sully. He is in a lot of pain, and he is about to lose his battle with Leukemia. He is 15 months old today, and he should not have to suffer like that. PLEASE PLEASE PRAY!!!!
