Mom of 2 Amazing Boys: October 2011

I've always wanted to journal to keep an account of what was going on in our lives, but seemed to never find the time. My mom has always journaled and has encouraged me to do the same. Several years back I was into doing scrapbooks to display events in our family but with the busyness of being a mom of 2 active boys who are involved in multiple competitive sports, the time was not available for that. So, after following my sister-in-law's blog over the last few months, I fell in love with the idea. I am looking forward to sharing the craziness of my world while keeping the memories alive.

I spend my 8-4 with 3rd graders who are always giving me reasons to smile. I always said I should write a book on the funny quotes I hear daily, so maybe some of those will appear. But my most important and favorite job is being a mom to Cole and Austin and a wife to Larry. This is what I live for!!!

Cole is in 6th grade and is enjoying his first year in middle school. Austin is in 4th grade and loving it! They are typical brothers who have their differences and find it fun to annoy each other. But they love each other and I am so proud of them.

Right now we are coming to the end of the football season for Austin. Larry has coached Austin since he was in 1st grade and is having so much fun! He loves it and is passionate about coaching these boys! We have one last game to finish before playoffs. We are hoping for a win so we can get into the championship Gold Ball playoffs. This season has been a season of growth and we are hoping to get the opportunity to meet Stroud again to prove that first game was a fluke!
