Jacob’s Birthday, Post 1
Jacob asks Paul and I to come and visit him at work when we are out during the week. As his birthday arrived, we thought it would be a good idea to take the whole family for lunch. We didn’t tell anyone but Courtney and Joshua what we were planning. The younger children all assumed we were dressing them for…
some days
Some days just have a few surprises in store. Jacob prepared to leave to buy chicken food and realized the Suburban battery was dead. When they were little, it would have been difficult to deal with car issues. Now the guys just go to work handling things. Their father has taught them so very well. It’s a pleasure to sit…
taco night!
Jacob has been working at the local Taco Bell for four months. He’s going great on his first job and actually won an award two weeks ago! This week, he asked if he might treat us to dinner…what else would it be? 😀 Feeding 14 people!!! That is impressive! We’re all so proud of him. Thank you, Jacob, for a…
orientation flights
…and I keep asking why he wants to fly. I do not understand why men must do such dangerous things. Does he not know what all could happen? Sigh. Mothering boys is not the easiest thing. I think I could stomach stamp collecting, or even building model planes- but his eyes are on learning to fly…and he loves it, and…
He’s Home!
After a VERY busy week, we picked Jacob up at Ft. McClellan yesterday. He’s decided without a doubt he will not be going into the military, but he is loving his time in Civil Air Patrol. He did decide he really likes search and rescue and would like to volunteer for our local fire department when he turns 18 later…
Visiting Jacob
Paul and I dropped by earlier this week for lunch with Jacob at his new job…. He really like his position and seems to be learning quite a bit. We enjoyed spending time with him!
Jacob’s First Flight
New to us this year, was Jacob joining Civil Air Patrol. This past Saturday found us meeting a flight instructor at Bessemer’s Mitchell Field, for Jacob’s very first flight. It’s all the more fun when little brothers can tag along to watch! He went along with one of his good friends, Jared. They had a great time flying to Selma,…
Another Driver
Yikes…THREE of our children are drivers!! Unbelievable. I’m convinced they are still three years old. I still feel too young to have children this age– especially three. (Don’t blow this for me by telling me you can see all the little lines on my face and gray hair….) I can’t stop time, and here I am, and here he is….…
Lazy Mornings
Perhaps, one of my favorite things in life is when the children pile into our bed early, each morning. I admire Jacob’s balancing skills. Zoe, our young kitty, not so much. I hope I can remember each and every one of these moments when this season of life has passed and they are each in a home of their own.

New Sparkle Shoes- Thrifted Finds
Many of you know Emma has had a long-time love for those Wizard of Oz red sparkle shoes. We found her a pair a couple of years ago. Of course, she’s grown and they have not. She wore them proudly, pretty much everywhere we went for that period of time. She’s missed them. I’ve looked for a replacement and finally…
