Celebrated Hillary's 8th birthday...time is sure flying. She requested ice skating and to begin the day, we had a basketball game. We won. Then, we were off to skating. It was a chilly, sunny day. All the girls (for the most part) met us at the house to travel to Nashville. It was a large time! To beat all, Hillary was also the grand prize winner for the Super Bowl winnings! Everyone got squares and I even won one! And yes, we don't even know what we are signing up for!!LOL

Hillary had several girls over to spend the night and they all passed out watching....."Coat of Many Colors, Dolly Parton" Too funny. I'm sure parties will advance over the years...but this one was too cute. They played school, dressed up, played Shopkins, and makeup , of course. I love you, Hillary!
Pictures to follow:

This weekend I also picked out a 1 and a 5 and it happened. It finally sunk in all this time......time between years.....it stood still for a moment. I have a soon to be 15 year old son. The one who rode a green gator that probably had 100,000 miles on it up and down Luther Lane road, the one that made me a mother, the one I wore non-smear lipstick for as I would go to work.....I had to kiss him about a million times and hated to mark him up good before I had to take him to daycare  lol. We were in love....The first one gets to try out about everything.....he's taken gymnastics, camps, wilderness camps, ....such a large variety. But the variety, keeps him diverse I suppose.



It's spitting snow, colder, and I'm a little down. Circumstances that just are. Just is. Let us remember those who have put up great fights and failed. We do. This. Is. Life. We are constantly in circles. My goal: to learn from everyone who crosses my path. To learn. Not that everyone that crosses it, it is meant to be....but what can I learn? Sometimes, frankly, it is nothing. But some, oh, they are so rich in this department.
