Finally!

I haven't written in about a month. I have been so busy!!! The kids and I went on vacation to PC Beach with my family. We had a great time but I was ready to return home. Jeff wasn't able to go on the trip. He has this big project going on at work for Metro Schools. He is extremely stressed out! Anyway, we return from vacation on July 6th. The following week, I was getting ready for one of my closest friends' wedding. On Thursday night, Jeff and Todd started a new small group at our house. I really do not know how it was b/c the kids were being horrible!!! So, I had to take care of them. Friday night, we had the rehearsal for Christy's wedding. It was a disaster! As you know, Jack is a little on the hyper side. The rehearsal lasted 2 hours. Unfortunately, Jeff was unable to be there b/c of work. Abby did very well. She has experience being a flower girl. Jack wanted to perform all of his power ranger moves while turning cartwheels down the aisle. It was quite entertaining. Although, I do not think the minister appreciated his behavior. Saturday morning, I ran all over town getting items for the wedding. So, we get to the wedding. Everything is going great. Then, Jack arrives at the wedding. He would not wear his tuxedo. His shoes were too big. At the last minute, Jeff and I pulled Jack from his duty as ringbearer. Jack ended up going to Papa's house. Jeff, Abby, and I had a great time at the reception. Abby was the center of attention with her dance moves to "Baby Got Back." Thankfully, Jeff had already left the reception to go pick up Jack. Miriam, Lacey, and I enjoyed dancing to songs from high school. Abby says, "Momma this music is awesome!" I would have to agree. We did have them play "Brass Monkey." Today, the family went to church at The Journey. I worked in the pre-school classroom with Miriam and Katrina. I do have to say that Katrina can definitely keep those kids in line. Where was she last month when Miriam and I were about to have a nervous breakdown over 3 children????It went very well but I hated missing Erik's sermon. Jeff said it was very moving. He enjoyed it so much that he decided to stay to hear it a second time. Tomorrow evening, I'm having a Premier Jewelry Party at my house at 6:30. If any of you are interested, please stop by. I hope, each of you have a wonderful week. I hope to see you soon!
