Off to a good start

Well all 3 boys won there 1st game. Way to start the season out for all.

Our vacation with the new nephew

Some things.....

I don't know where to start, but I met my nephew this past week. Peyton enjoyed himself and got his birthday announced at the show. He tryed to hide but couldn't, of course with me and his brothers pointing at him. He got to get his pictures taken with the haygoods after the show. He sooooo much enjoyed the show. He now wants to learn the violin and the saxophone.

I will post some pictures of the show and everyone on the next slide. I wanted to show everyone the devastation of what the storms did months earlier and how the 2 towns I went to were doing. This was not a pretty picture. In some there was an above ground pool not touch, but the other side of the same house was gone. It just amazes me how a tornado works. Also the flooding was bad. There is this one resort (I didn't have my camera) just completely gone. They had all the furniture out and was pulling the sheet rock. You just never know when this could happen to you. I fell very blessed that we were spared this kind of devastation in this area. Well enjoy the slide. It is a long one and I put them in order of Mt. View, Mt. Home's flooding, and Gassville. There is around 28 photos.

Well we are off for the week

We are leaving tomorrow for a week long vacation. The flooding is bad up to where we are going. My aunt told me that everything is starting to SLOWLY go down. We are going to try to go through hwy 5 and see the tornado and flooding disaster. I am soooooo excited to be there too due to I have a new nephew. He and mommy are home and doing well. She is tired, but glad to be home. I will post pictures of everyone once I get back.

I am also having a foot problem. I don't know what I did, but it is getting worse everyday. It is swelling from my toes to the middle of my foot and it is getting harder and harder to walk on it. I should have went to the doctor b/4 this vacation. We will have to do a lot of walking so I am hoping I can manage through the pain. This is the foot that had the surgery and the bracket. One of the screws has pop out so I am hoping that it is not floating around in there.

Well I put a slide together of Peyton's b-day.

Winter in March. Our normal is suppose to in the 60's

This picture was taken March 3


This picture is from March 10, as for the bottom picture



Well we have had unusual weather here this year. Our winter was not all that cold and March has turned out to be snowy.

The TALK

Jason had the talk with David this weekend, so far he feels nothing has happened, not even the first kiss. I feel though it is coming. He is always showering and brushing his teeth, making sure he has gum on hand. So I know one of this days soon it will happen, but hopefully the talk my boys had will convince him to do the right thing. We can only hope for the best when our kids hit this age. It is so scary. Wish me luck though all of this. I will keep you updated. He is grounded right know from the phone due to his is failing to do his homework so his grades have slipped. He only has 3 more weeks until the report cards come home.

Well baseball is starting this week. Tonight is the draft so Peyton will know who the team mates are on his team for the year. We are supposed to have a tournament on March 14-17. I feel they will probably need a little more practice. We will see.

Kyle is excited to be playing this year. I will have to take lots of pictures. It will be cute.

I am in a new beginning

I don't know how to go with teenagers. My oldest has a girlfriend. I think it is getting too serious. Peyton heard him the other night on the phone tell her he loved her. WHAT??? I don't think 13 years old know what love is. I think I am just in the beginning of the never ending phone ringing. I just can't believe that the girls call here. There is like 3 boys that call in between the 2 girls that call. Jason is going to have THE TALK tonight with him due to he has seen this girl the past weekend. He is also going to meet up with her this weekend. I don't know that anything has happened (like the first kiss). They just walk around the neighborhood and hold hands. They are hugging a little to much for me, but so far that is all I have seen. I am trying not to smother, but on the other hand I want to know what is going on with him. When he is out he is with a set of twins and there girlfriends so at least they are not ALONE. Well I am struggling a bit today due to I accidentally went into his room to get laundry and ran across some of the notes this girl has wrote to him. Let me tell you, I have struggled all day with what to do.
I will keep you posted.

Just because

Just wanted to let you know this week has gone much better. Had a great day yesterday (Valentines Day). Woke up to flowers, candy, and a card with a sweet sweet letter in it that made me cry (a good emotional cry). Though when the boys woke up they saw the candy and stated it was not fair that I got it and not them. So with that said, they ate my candy (boys will be boys).

This past Tues. the boys won there basketball game. We have 2 games left until the season is over. I think we are going to take 4th place this year. Not bad due to last year we took next to last place (13th). Hooray for my boys.

Here is a slide of our fun with ours friends on superbowl Sunday at there house...

I had a weird type of morning.

I think God is testing or trying to teach me something... This morning was just like all mornings. Got up, got the boys up, got everyone ready for school. I took the boys to school and headed off to work just like any other morning except on Fridays I usually go in at 7am, but this morning I went in a hour later. This is were it gets interesting I was at the stoplight by the Cabot High School waiting for my light to turn green to turn left. The traffic for the light that was green turned and yellow and low and behold a truck turned trying to be the light from turning red and hit a girl (lady). At that point my heart sunk and I was starting to sweat and I didn't (couldn't think). There was so many people running from there vechiles to the incident. In the meanwhile the firetrucks and polices them arrived and I was trapped. My mind just started going ninety to nothin on just what I saw happen.

I don't know why people are always in a hurry. I just fell we all take life for granted sometimes.

Ok so I got through that and left work around 12:45 and went through the intersection that was so horrible this morning and was at the second intersection waiting to turn left again and there was a head on collison with 2 cars right in front of me. Oh My!! This time a older man and woman was involved. I couldn't really tell who was at fault in this one due to niether had a blinker on so I don't know who was turning and who was going straight. By the older man got out of his car and had a limp to him, but he did seem ok. The woman never did get out of her car. Her car had the most damage though.

Ok so I got through with that and continued my journey home and at the next intersection there was a cop and what looked like a 4 car accident. I was like, you have got to be kidding me. I don't what it is about today, but I had a friend tell me that I should just be blessed that I was not in any of this accidents. My heart goes out to the person that was hit this morning. I have not heard any word on if she survived. I am going to watch the news tonight.

Here are some pics of the boys
