What a weekend!!

I was outnumbered...

and they loved it

and these two boys that are scared to death of dogs...

wanted to use mine as horses... suddenly they weren't afraid!!!

Then I hit the shower and was off to see the Broadway Musical - Dirty Dancing for my birthday!

Such fun with my SFAM Connie!!!

Sunday, T and I woke up early and headed off to Fossil Rim.  Once again.. it was my birthday gift to me and T was happy to oblige!

Funny moments...

Sweet animals

a few snuggles

and A LOT of beauty.

So thankful I'm close enough to go when I want because this place makes my soul sing!!!!

Surprises from Bumpa

Not only does he get a fun weekend at the lake, he gets treats from Bumpa!

He insisted we make the car, the monster truck AND the bird house and he loved every second of it!

Thank you Bumpa!!!

Audi's married!

T thought I'd include a few fun pics...

When Mommy's away... she still has fun

I had them arrested after they got married.  Bwahahahahaha

and we still had fireworks for the 4th!

and we surrounded them with lights and fun

and I... celebrated the 4th of Julie (bad joke, I know...)

but I wasn't alone

And Auntie Audi sailed off with the man of her dreams

and we happen to love him too!

But man, there is nothing better than getting home and seeing YOU!

Dyslexia...

Well Nugg, that's what they say you have.  Dyslexia.  At first I cried.  A lot.  I was sad, and scared and angry.  I don't want you to struggle with anything like this. I want you to enjoy school, love reading and get great grades, a great job and have a successful career.  

I've not decided that even thought you "have" this... it doesn't define you.  This is simply a hurdle that you will face, and one that WE will learn to deal with.  

There are many things I dislike about living in Dallas... many... but I find it no coincidence that God has you at Grace Academy, we have found Mrs. Fortune to help you a few days a week AND we found Sandi Frost to administer your testing.  Those things are ALL a huge blessing.  I'm also thankful, VERY thankful that I followed my gut (at the prodding of Mrs. Galimore) and had you tested at such a young age.  It was 100% worth it.  Ya know why? Because now, I CAN HELP YOU.

So someday, if you read this... I want you to know that it scared me.  It made me feel like people might pick on you.  But then.... I heard all of the stories about how successful people that have this are.  They think outside of the box, they are entrepreneurs.. and then, right then, I realized... you have SO MUCH THAT GOD HAS BLESSED YOU WITH... you are going to knock this out of the park and be the 100% awesome man I know you can be!!

We've got this buddy, I love you!!!!  Mommy
