Drew turns 6!!
6 YEARS????????? I will never forget the phone call from Kittie that Jen was in labor. It was the moment I realized we were really going to be parents!!! :) We welcomed little Drewbie into the world and we have all been forever changed. He is such a precious little boy. You can always count on Drew to tell the truth, follow a rule, play any sport with you, and be the most devoted friend to my K. They adore each other. Happy Birthday Drewbie!
Happy Birthday to ME!!
I always get so sentimental on their birthdays. I am so very thankful to have been blessed with two healthy children. I thank God for each year that passes. This year on my birthday, I showed up to work with my door decorated from top to bottom. I was given a crown and wand for the day. If you know me at all, you know I enjoyed every bit of it. :) My kids LOVED that is was my birthday. Hearing Happy Birthday from 120 6th graders is quite fun. They were very excited it was my day. :) I even got a present from one child, who claims to not like me at all. It was all wrapped up nice and neat, with a handwritten note from her. I love it. I spent the day doing all my normal things, picking up from dance, getting the kids changed for soccer, watching a soccer game, then home for cupcakes! When I finally sat down for the day, snuggled next to my miracle blessings I once again thanked God for each day. I pray each day that I get to see my children grow old. I want to live until I am all wrinkly and hunched over, cooking Sunday lunch for whoever will still come. I hope I am a very happy old wrinkly lady. You may be laughing at me right now, but I am very serious about this. I am fully aware that life is too short. I hope that when I look back on my life, I see more days of laughter than of sorrow. I hope that I spend the majority of my life enjoying being a mom rather than bogged down by the daily trials I am facing. I need to read and re-read my saying this over and over on the days that are hard. It is my goal in life to find the good in each day. I want to teach my kids that too. I am so very blessed. I have my precious family and it's all I ever dreamed of. I look forward to what God has in store for me this year. 34............sounded so old not too long ago, and here I am, 34. I am so ok with it.
Thank you Lord, for each and every year I have here on Earth. May my life be glorifying to you in every way. I know I am not perfect, nowhere near actually. I take you for granted. I take my life for granted. I don't stop and say thank you near enough. I am healthy. I am so very thankful for that. You have blessed me more than I ever deserve. It is my HONOR to raise these two precious children. I am so blessed to have such a loving husband. I am humbled, and thankful today. All I have, all I am, I am because of YOU. May I live each and everyday to honor you. Amen.

The good life
I hope they grow up knowing how lucky they are to have each other. They have no idea what it is like to have to drive to see your friends. They only know how to run out the door and instantly have someone to play with. Fights do occur quite often, but for the most part, they live the good life. I love their little friendships. L and Whit are getting nicer to each other. At school, everyone thinks they are best friends. :) I love that they stick together when they are out in the "world". Friendships like these are made to last. I am so glad they have each other! Oh, and Branny is way to hard to catch in a photo these days. I wish he was in the middle and it would be a perfect pic! :)
I love you little Prosser-Olliffs. May you enjoy every single day of your precious childhood. We love you!!!

Go EAGLES!
Fall is in full swing around here! That includes one of my favorite things about fall, FOOTBALL! We are trying hard this year to be better GSU fans. It has been so hard the past few years to get them to the game. This year it was so much fun! They are getting old enough to enjoy it! They LOVED every minute of it!

SOCCER SEASON!
Tonight was their first soccer game! It was Whit's game debut and the kids' first game together. I absolutely love watching them play. It was hard to watch both of them at the same time! I kept forgetting I have two to watch! It is SOOOO nice to have them on the same team! One benefit of having kids close together I guess. :) They both played hard and had SO much fun!
I love that their numbers are their ages!
This was taken in the middle of the game. Me: "Hey Kennedy" She stops and poses. Of course she does.....:)
GOOOOO TIGERS!
