Good Memories

We made some GOOD memories this week.....no, GREAT ones!

Tyler got to meet the All-Star quarterback for the San Diego Chargers, Phillip Rivers, when we attended the Morgan County Sports-Hall-of-Fame dinner. Rivers was the keynote speaker since his father was being inducted for coaching football at Decatur High for 15 years. Tyler was in awe from the moment he laid eyes on Rivers. He had his picture made with Rivers and brought along a football to be signed.

Jackson hit a milestone....he learned to tie his own shoes! This may seem like it's coming a little late since he is about to start 2nd grade, but don't forget that he's left-handed and everyone in our family and in his father's family is right-handed. Last night he and I got down in the floor determined to learn the art of shoe-tying. This came about because earlier in the evening during his T-Ball End-of-Year party at the park, he stepped in a gigantic pile of steaming fresh dog poo.....ruined his shoes, which were slip-on tennis shoes. Having no other slip-on play tennis shoes, we HAD to resort to the ones that lace. Well, I showed him once while he watched intently. Then with sweat on his brow and sheer stubbornness in his eyes, he mastered the art of tying his shoes.









Lily Grace got a manicure of EPIC proportions. Last week, I painted her nails blue. When she got to her dad's house, her step-mother hated the color. So she painted Lily's nails pink. This week, I added a little flair to the up-and-coming diva........press-on nails for little girls with white tips and silver stars......from Grandma as a Christmas present of course! Thanks, Grandma! This little beauty trick was WAY too much fun for me AND for Lily!!
