I just had to share this video with everyone. My youngest took swimming lessons at the Millington YMCA at the beginning of the month and for some reason, I couldn’t find the video until today! He could not swim AT ALL before these lessons. He would only stay in the shallow end where he could touch the bottom with his feet and would still use a floating noodle to help him. Here he is jumping into the deep end (7.5 ft!) and swimming to the side. I am SOOO proud of him and thankful for the wonderful instructors he had at the Y! Thanks Ian and Phillip!
Hello! I have had a great day so far. This morning I got up and was in the garden by 6. I had my tunes playing in my ears and the hoe in my hand. I just worked away and enjoyed the time to myself. I got a great workout and I enjoyed myself! I will do it again on Monday!
We have an extra kiddo here today….besides K & D. My friends Lisa & Jeff H went out of town and needed a place for their son to stay while they were away. He has been playing with my boys and everything is good.
Tomorrow Alex has to have 2 teeth pulled. He had 1 on the right side pulled on Monday. His baby teeth weren’t coming out and the orthodontist said they needed them to come out to make room for the adult teeth to move in. After he gets done, if he feels like it, we are going to the Y to swim.
On Saturday we are having a yard sale. If you are in the area, stop by and shop! I am clearing out my house so there will be lots of stuff!
I am happy! I get the opportunity to stay home today! I don’t HAVE to go anywhere! There are no swim lessons to drive to….my kids are not going to a VBS this week, ball games are over,we are taking a break from piano, we don’t have any dr or dentist appointments….I just get to stay home! I am excited! One day of not having to go anywhere! My poor van is going to think we have abandoned it. Actually, it will get lots of love and attention tonight because when William gets home today, he is going to take the oxygen sensors off and check them. He replaced them all awhile back but he thinks one may be bad because the van is acting strange again. He told me that he needed to do this on a day that I haven’t been running the van so that it would be cool….today is the day!
Yes, I am strange….I get excited about not going anywhere. Yes, simple things get me excited….(just ask my friend Lisa H. how excited I was about the hand driers in the bathroom at The Incredible Pizza Company! LOL)
Thanks for reading and for sharing in my excitement! Have a blessed and restful day!
I have had a lot of people ask me lately about what happened to my Discovery Toys business. Well, the short version is, I closed it. I had some important things that I needed to take care of for my family and I needed to give DT up in order to do that. I have left my area in good hands with a wonderful DT rep that had joined my team and she is taking wonderful care of my past customers.

This morning my cousin Zack left for Iraq. Although I am proud of him, I am also sad. I am gonna miss him while he is there.
He is 21 and I used to babysit him. He is the reason that my mom’s side of the family calls me “Ritrie”…he couldn’t say Christie when he was 2 so now 19 yrs later, I am Ritrie.
I am not sure how long he will be gone but I know that I will be praying for him daily and praying for his parent too. My aunt Tina and Uncle Travis would appreciate your prayers as well. Please remember all of them when you are praying.
I will be sending care packages to his unit also so if you would like to add anything, let me know. The soldiers love getting packages from home and knowing that there are people here loving and supporting them.
~ Until they ALL come home!
Ok so this is a little late but I just haven’t sat down to write lately. On Memorial Day, I told the kids to ask William to take them for a ride on the 4 wheeler. He said that it was too wet. I said “oh come on, let them get muddy”. I didn’t think he would get them THIS muddy! LOL
