Wednesday already!.. or should I say finally! So glad tOo. Seems already this year is slipping by faster then the last, but then, I now understand what all of my elders have always told me about getting older, and time moving faster and faster.

Looking forward to a three day weekend coming up! Yeah! The hubby has a three day also. Should have waited till this weekend to go to Helen, oh well. Maybe next time. We are however, planning on spending the day together Friday. Just the two of us, while the kiddies are in school. I am so excited. Got to take the van to the dealership to get the oil changed and such, but we will probably hit a couple of museums and possibly a park or two while that is going on, I know we are just bundles o'fun huh?! I am stoked totally though!! Going to take the camera, maybe get some good practice!


There is a photography class being offered at ASU. It basically just teaches you about your DSLR which I have. I really really want to take this class, but not only is it 130 dollars, which I am sure isn't that bad, but I really don't want to do it alone. Some of you know how I am about stuff like that. I really hope that my buddy can go with me, but with his work schedule, it probably just won't be feasible. Maybe next time!

Ok, guess I should go finish dinner now, the kiddo's are gnawing on their own arms, and laying around crying that they are famished beyond all hope of survival.. Just kidding. Then again, am I?

PEACE!

A few months ago I wrote about my son's first day of school. Well I wrote about all three's first days of school, and that we had two milestones. A freshman in high school and a kindergartner.

Well, for Christmas my big kindergartner got a shaving kit as a gift (wait a minute, before anyone flies off the handle thinking I gave my 6 year old a razor, stop, this has Batman all over it, a plastic mirror, foam soap and a completely fake and completely plastic pretend razor!) Anywho, the other night daddy let T try out his shaving kit! He was so excited and I was right there with the camera.. Yeah I know, my kids are getting very annoyed with mommy and her camera!!

Almost got it!

"Those pesky nose hair's mom!"







Is this right?
















"Yep, got to get the eye lashes too!"












Done! Totally handsome, don't ya think mom?

Ok, prepare yourself. Yep, grab the side of your desk, laptop or whatever your reading this on. Hold on tight. Take a deep breath, and if your not already sitting, then you should sit.. seriously. Also, if you are on a laptop, then make sure it is secure, so as not to fall or be thrown against a wall!

Ready? Ok, here goes. The kids and I .... went to church yesterday. Yep that's right. We really did it. Dragged our sorry butts out of bed at 7 am on a Sunday morning, got dressed, and drove into town to go to church. Can't believe it can you? Me neither!

It was really awesome though. We felt very welcomed, not singled out. Not embarrased, but part of a whole. Like we had always been, not like we just walked in off the street, which basically we did! Well sort of. We did know a few people there, which I think helped greatly. Especially at how I am in new situations and something like this. Jenn and Matt are great people, and I am very thankful to have met them, and to be able to call them friends. I know other people that know Jenn and everyone says that about them, so there must be some kind of truth to it!! :)

So the kids and I went to church with them.. (oh there I said it again!) at Journey Community. It is still a fairly new church as church's go I guess. They are in a brand spankin' new building.. to them anyway! They bought it from another church that moved to a bigger building. But what they have done with this building is just amazing. Jenn and Matt took us on a tour after the main worship service. It really is quite awesome! The kids definitely want to go back, and I don't think it would be to bad either! The girls will probably go Wednesday night, that is when the youth group meets, and T and I will go again on Sunday with the girls.

It really was nice to be able to go to a church and not have to worry about hipocracy and idiocy.

p.s. They didn't sacrifice anything!!! That is a plus!!

Oh and I was going to take a picture of the outside of the church, in fact had every intention of doing it.. just to prove we went. But in my hastiness to get out the door, for fear of being late and not having to courage to walk in after the service started, I forgot my friggin camera!!! AHH. Ok, so next time, hopefully!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH .

Ok I feel a little better now.

Almost forgot someone! Yes, we took her with us, in the car for several hours. Fun.

We took an impromptu road trip this weekend to Alpine, Georgia. It was very nice! The country up there is so beautiful. Next time we want to rent a cabin and stay a bit longer, and take everyone, (whole other story!)

The "Hambugers" must have been great!

The river is beautiful!





This morning we took a hike to Anna Ruby Falls. That was well worth the half mile up hill trek, and absolutely gorgeous. Great time to play with the camera!!

Love the night sky!
