Taking The Hood By Storm

November 1, 2012

When I tucked the boys in last night, Alex asked me to take one last picture of him before he turned seven. This picture makes me smile for so many reasons. These two are best friends, great playmates, and partners in crime.  Partners in crime who will make great use of the Spider Man Deluxe Web-blaster [...]

All Dressed Up

October 29, 2012

Tuesday is Trick-or-Treat in our city. A huge storm (Frankenstorm) WITH SNOW is set to hit our area on Tuesday.  I am nine kinds of unhappy that my kids may not get to trick-or-treat. To make matters worse, the weatherman is calling for snow in October. OCTOBER PEOPLE. Dang. McDaddy keeps saying it won’t get [...]

These Two

September 25, 2012

When McDaddy and I were away at the Jeep Jamboree, his computer was on the desk in the hotel and his screen saver popped up. It was this picture of the boys that was taken in 2008. I fought back tears as I studied their faces and tried to figure out where my babies went. [...]

You Capture – Fun

March 25, 2012

The boys love to laugh and have fun. Yesterday, our church had an Easter Egg hunt. My boys ran around like crazy people snatching up eggs.

Camo and Cars Just To Name A Few

March 3, 2011

As a child, I always envisioned myself as a mother. I also envisioned myself having a daughter. I suppose it seemed normal considering the fact that I was a daughter – and I was all girl. When I got pregnant for the second time, McDaddy and I had already decided that it was our last pregnancy. [...]

Bearing Scars

October 22, 2010

The scars are easily visible. They are dense and come in all sizes. The surface is permanently marred. It is forever changed. The scars remain regardless of the treatment or care given to them. The scars serve to remind me and I am glad they are there. It hasn’t always been that way mind you. When they were new [...]

You Capture – Togetherness

September 29, 2010

Nothing makes me happier than being with my fellas, so, I was pretty excited when I heard that this week’s challenge would be togetherness. McDaddy and I are pretty fortunate that our boys get along very well (most days) and when Stevie is at school, Alex is like a lost ball in a field of [...]

I Love It!

June 18, 2010

I love it when these guys   both end up in my bed so we can “cuddle” because they are the best cuddlers in the world and we talk about what we will do that day. I love it when they wrap their gangly arms around my neck and squeeze me tightly. I love it [...]
