Hello there 2016!

I am super happy to be back on the blogger scene! Why did I stop? It is great to just type your thoughts away and air out your laundry. Not that I want to do that, but it is nice to vent or whine or be happy or just type something off the wall. Can you believe that 2015 is almost over?? I do not know about your household, but Patch of Heaven has not been as happy to see this year leave as we are this one. As most years have hills and valleys, this one has had more valleys than hilltops. But no more! Get on outta here 2015...see ya wouldn't want to be ya! So what are you doing to ring in the new year? Here at Patch of Heaven, we will probably not see 2016 come in. I think staying up and "ringing" it in is over for the old folks. Let's talk resolutions....Rich and I have decided that this year is going to be our get in order year. Finances, house, yard, body, mind and spirit. In years past we have always set unrealistic resolutions and we never meet them and then on this day next year, we will talking about how we did not meet those resolutions. Maybe putting them out there, airing out that laundry, will help....maybe. I guess we will see. Let's get that laundry started!

We are still here!

I know it has almost been a week since my last post. But do not fear, underdog is here.....I mean we are still here. We have had a few things come up this week and I have not taken many photos. Tonight though Rich and Tucker are going to start on his pine derby car, so I will have pictures of that and then this weekend is the big race. Can you tell we are procrastinators or what? Trenton starts his TCAP tests this week. I almost forgot to give him his medicine before we left....that would not have been pretty at all! Rich has all of next week off and we are getting our new roof on! FINALLY!!! After 2 years of going back and forth with our insurance company! We cannot wait. We also are looking forward to Easter. Rich's parents will be here and Neice and Jim will be back from Alaska. The only that will be missing is Granny. She is in Arizona staying with Aunt Betty for the month. We have alot of things coming up, so do not write us off!

Special Olympics!

Well... Trenton and I went to the Rutherford County Special Olympics today. It was great! I was so moved that there were so many people that came out to support these kids. The entire school came out this morning and made signs and cheered the kids out of the driveway.(that is Tucker with the sign) I was bawling in the van. Parents of a special needs children worry how other kids treat their child, because they are "different". It was again...great. Trenton did not participate, he was a spectator, but we both enjoyed it. I hope you look at these pictures and think how you treat the people around you. I hope you see these kids and know that they cannot fix or change themselves. God has given them something more, he has given them something "special".

Meet the Jedi Master...

Well.... I came home from work on Wednesday and was greeted by the Jedi Master Tucker. He told me what his name was, but I do not think I could spell it. He wore this for quite some time, until he got to hot. The force must really awesome to have you wrap yourself in blankets in 75 degree weather!

Check out the camera pics...

Well, the camera is something that the boys like to get and take photos of the oddest things. Trenton loves to take pictures of his creations and Tucker likes to take pictures of his Star Wars dudes. It makes me laugh to see these on the camera, they are too funny not to share! Enjoy!

Howdy weekend!

The weekend is here!!! What does Patch of Heaven look like on a Saturday morning you ask??? Well we have Star Wars going on in the living room and The Naked Avenger in the boys bedroom....yes Trenton only has on his "draughers"....but if you know Trenton, this comes as no shock. Rich is on the horn with his mom and I am thinking about mowing and digging up some plants. The sun is FINALLY out and it is suppose to be 63 today...awwww Tennessee spring. I hope everyone has a FaBuLoUs weekend! See you Sunday :)

Weekend here we come!

Awwww Thursday. Thursday is probably my favorite work day. It is the day before Friday, the day before we get paid, the day, if you are lucky, is your Friday. (If you are lucky enough to have off on Friday)The only bad thing about Thursday is Scouts.I love that Tuck is a scout, but it makes the night short. He loves it though. We are just glad he likes it...again AIN'T HE CUTE???
