...can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

Kasey's class decorated Gingerbread houses this month. I think she ate more of the icing than she got on the house! It was a lot of fun and a special time for mommy and daughter. Here are some pics:

One BIG difference.....

My dear friend Kelly and I agree on a lot of things. We often share the same thoughts and can finish each others sentences, which is scary. We love us some Y&R, little peeps (and must someday visit their farm), and of course Reba rocks. But, there is one BIG fundamental truth that we disagree on. Yes peeps, although Kelly was born in good ole GA, her family is all from Florida and they have sucked her in to their lies....yes, she is a gator. I know, visions of blue and orange just corrupted your mind....I'm gagging too. I, on the other hand, was born and raised in GA and I am a DAWG, like good Georgia girls should be! We agree to disagree, and we don't even trash talk to each other too much, as we have to work together on a daily basis! GO DAWGS, SIC 'EM.....WOOF, WOOF, WOOF! I SAID IT'S GREAT, TO BE, A GEORGIA BULLDOG!!!! Loves you, Kelly.....I'm just sayinnnnnnn!!!!!!

Kasey likes horses...

Kasey had a great time at Chandler's 9th birthday party. She rode the pony about 3 times, fed some horses, played horseshoes, petted the baby pig, Wilbur. Here are a few pictures.

It's Saturday Afternoon in Athens....

Here are my guys waiting for the UGA v. Tennessee game to start. The atmosphere was a little dead coming off the loss to Alabama, but we rooted the Dawgs on to a victory! Tyler enjoyed the game and almost made it all the way home before falling asleep in the car. He had a long day. We will do it again this Saturday against Vandy. Gooooooooo Dawgs, Sic em....woof, woof, woof!!!

Let's go to the Fair, Y'all!

The kids had a great time at the Ga National Fair this past week. They went 2 times and rode the rides, ate the great fair food of course and saw lots of interesting things and people. We look forward to going back next year!

May we Never Forget...

My thoughts and prayers go out today to all of the families that lost loved ones on this tragic day.

How 'bout them DAWGS!

I gotta give a big shout out to my 2-0 Dawgs, always #1 in my book, no matter what the pollsters think. How 'bout that Knowshon Moreno....he is amazing to watch. Check out this hurdle, WOW is all I can say!

Birthday girl...

Kasey had a great 4th Birthday Party. There was pizza, a scooby cake, great presents, swimming, sliding....it was a blast!

4 years ago today...

the most beautiful little girl entered the world! The daughter that daddy swore was a boy up until her birth has him wrapped around her little finger. Kasey Grace, you have brought so much joy to all of us. We love you, princess! Happy 4th birthday....and thank you for a quick and easy delivery!

my baby started Pre-K today..WAAAAA!

It was a sad day in the Gibson household this morning. Our 'baby' Kasey started Pre-K today. I can't believe she is old enough to be in school. As you can see, she was just fine. She hung up her pink monkey bookbag that was bigger than her and headed to the toys on the table. She didn't even look up at me to say bye, as I pushed back the tears!

You're Gonna Miss This....

'You're gonna want this back. You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast.' 10 years ago today, I married my college sweetheart. There was something good that happened at Macon State! 10 years and 2 kids later, life is good! Time goes by so fast, for those newlyweds out there, cherish every moment. I love you, baby! Here's to 10 more as good as the last!

what do you say...

kasey: I want a juice pouch mommy.
me: what do you say?
kasey: I want a juice pouch mommy.
me: I want a juice pouch what?
kasey: I don't know
tyler: please, say please, kasey
kasey: I want a juice pouch mommy
me: what do you say?
kasey: Thank you Jesus!
(everyone died laughing.....)

15 long hours later....

It is hard to believe that 8 years ago today, you were born into this world. Our first born son, what a joy you have been. After a very long day, and night, Andrew 'Tyler' Gibson made his appearance at 11:59 pm, June 15th, 2000. I wonder just how many ice cream cones your Papas ate waiting for you to be born? I will never forget that day that God blessed us with our son. Happy Birthday, big boy. We love you very much!

Happy Birthday Dear Tyler...

This past Saturday was a busy one. Kasey got all dolled up at a princess party that morning and then Tyler had his 8th birthday party that evening. Everything went great! Here are a few pics.

Happy 86th Birthday, Maw Maw

Here's to my Maw Maw Fountain on her 86th Birthday. She said last weekend that she never thought she would live this long. She has outlived all of her siblings. We love you Maw Maw!

I'm divin' in...

Some pics from Tyler's team party...the boys had a blast...and Kasey did too.

Indians go out with a win...

Here is Tyler running off the field after his last game today. He ended the season with a win, which is always a good thing. The team party is later today....the boys were looking forward to swimming. Good season, Indians!

Cannon Ball!!!!

Here is another pic from Memorial Day....my niece in action!

You Raise Me Up...

Today was Tyler's 2nd grade end of year program. It was bittersweet as he will be moving up from the primary school to elementary next year. The pics are from pre-k to 2nd grade, wow, my little man is growing up too fast! At the end of the program, the entire 2nd grade (or the graduating class of 2018!) sang 'You Raise Me Up'. As soon as the music started, I was already tearing up. You know I was a mess by the end (and even as I'm typing this....geeze!). My baby, Kasey, will start pre-k in August, so the journey will begin for her as we try to raise her up as best we can. Ready or not....here she comes!

did I say weekly posts?

Um, ok, this is for Greg....I'm trying to make you proud. This will be short and sweet. Last week of school, yippee! Busy time for us at work.....2 more ballgames...team party on Saturday....Tyler's 8th bday party next Saturday....I promise I will post some pics of all this! Here are a few pics of the kids swimming at my Aunt's in Cochran on Memorial Day.

I don't know about this...

I may have overestimated myself on this one. Do I really have time (ok, energy....I am lazy) to keep up a blog page? Probably not, but oh well. This weekend went by fast as usual. Stayed home friday night and cleaned house. Saturday's ballgames were at noon and 2 and then hubby had umpire duty at 4, so there goes that day. Sunday morning service was awesome, then I made time for a nap while the kids and Kris played outside....yea!

First Blog ever!

Ok, this if obviously the 'in' thing. I figured since I work in the field of technology, I should really get on board. I have no idea what I'm doing so bear with me. I hope everyone is having a blessed day!
