Golf lessons, FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!

Brenden started golf lessons today, as he was eating breakfast I thought he will be the one in jeans and some skull shirt with his hat on side ways. So I went to check him out and he suprised me he had on plaid shorts, so he was going to fit in well. He loves golf and has played a few times with Brad for company games. He has gone to the driving range and loves putt putt. No serious lessons before though. When I picked him up he was smiling and said it was a good day, he was taught the proper way to hold the club. He even found these little frogs, the one he had in his hand was so small it could fit on a dime, so freakin cute.
We left there and went to the walmart to get golf balls, how do you go to golf lessons without balls, oh just ask us since we did it.
While there he starts telling me how he needs a putter, I was like great one more thing to the list of money flying out the door, oh well, I guess its worth seeing the smile on that little boys face right!

I'm a big boy trapped in a little body

This morning I dropped Brenden off at his first day of golf camp, so exciting, he loves golf, came home with Mr Devin and we prepared Roast for dinner in the crock pot and started vacuuming floors and I got on the computer (of course) and he disappeared (of course) returning a few moments later, I see I forgot to shut the bathroom door with its child proof handle. He had his daddys hair stuff in his hair, well it almost made it in, it was so cute, so I helped the little man out and we gave him a cool do, Devin loves to imitated Brad, so Devin shaves, puts on deoderant, acts as he is peeing at the toilet and puts hair stuff on. What a little character he is. And to think some days he drives me to pulling my hair or his.

it doesnt seem like it was all that long ago

There's a black-top road, a faded yellow center line , It can take you back to the place, but it can't take you back in time

You can dream about it every now and then, but you cant go home again, these are just our memories from an easier time, well then it was , and now that I know what I know.

Seems to change everything

I love to go back over old photos of my childhood with my siblings, we had some fun, underneath all this tough skin I have grown, there is a little girl with wet pink tails from running in a sprinkler, or from a homemade slip and slide, riding big wheels and excited to see the snow cone lady coming with her squirts of colored sugar water on top of some shaved ice, the ice cream man with the push ups, my sister loved the foot with the bubble gum toe.

I was picking songs to add to my little ol blog and thought of some good ones, then got to thinking why not write about why I picked these little buggers.

Flies on the butter is by Wynonna Judd, my sister was big into the Judds, one year she said you have to listen to this song, it reminds me of us and our childhood. The lyrics sparking memories of the times we got to lick delicious treats from the spoon, The heat of a summer day, and being at the lake house with my uncles big dog plopped in front of the big fan. Us kids running , jumping the railroads ties that were used as steps to get to the lake, how we didn't break our necks while doing so. Watermelon eating on the back porch and ice cream making when evening came at the lake was the best. The adults would then play cards for coins and us kids would play for pretzels. HA we did have some great times at the lake.

These days were so long ago, yet seem like yesterday. Good memories are what I hope to remember now and let go of the pains that made me a tough chick in my teenage/young adulthood years. I catch myself watching my kids and looking at their photos, I love photos, thinking and hoping for them to have wonderful memories and times to talk about and them not all include, "Remember the other time when mom lost her mind and pulled her hair out!"

We can take the road back to our home,but we can't go back in time, just enjoy the memories, you can relive them over and over, but really, truly who would go back and do it ALL again. I will stick with the good stuff, licking the spoon, swimming in the Ozarks, chasing lightening bugs, and running in the rain puddles that would flow like rivers down our street, ice skating on the pond behind our house, walking to the mall, dad chopping his ice cubes, that's another story for another time, HA.

sprinkler fun

Time to start acting like summer fools, and freeze in sprinkler water. Devin is ready this year to run and play like the big kids do. I bought him this cute ring today thinking maybe it would be enough to cool us non pool having people down. STL and its humid weather, we all need some freezing water to survive it. The first day of school break, Brenden is off to his friends to sweat and skateboard. Devin and I set up shop on the side of the hill and as the tube filled and the streams started to shoot up this little boy was on a new adventure, learning to run in and out of the water, adjusting to it being okay to have that water squirt him in the face and the squeals of laughter soon began. It was great to see him having fun, screaming from joy and not from being mad I said No to something. This was a good start to summer.

I have to get ready for work now, enjoy the photos of our sprinkler fun.

We can be everything we see ourselves to be

All the resources you will ever want or need are at your fingertips. All you have to do is identify what you want to do with it, and then practice the feeling-place of what it will feel like when that happens. There is nothing you cannot be or do or have. You are blessed Beings; you have come forth into this physical environment to create. There is nothing holding you back, other than your own contradictory thought. And your emotion tells you you're doing that. Life is supposed to be fun—it is supposed to feel good! You are powerful Creators and right on schedule. Savor more; fix less. Laugh more; cry less. Anticipate positively more; anticipate negatively less. Nothing is more important than that you feel good. Just practice that and watch what happens. There is great love here for you. We are complete

This is a daily thought I got and I get them, duh daily, from this site that I signed up to, from some cd's my mother in law had be listen to, they were interesting and thought provoking for sure, and I do believe in what it is trying to get us all to do, this was a thought I felt worth sharing. It is right on with what I hope to do, what we all strive to do, think it, see it, get to it, with peace and know we deserve it, to be happy, fruitful, hopeful, successful, loved........... blah blah blah, we deserve, see it and be it.
