Update...

I haven't really posted a Life Update in a while. No real reason other than I just haven't done it.

Tommy - He is on his diet 100% and looks great. He's lost over 60 lbs. So proud of him. He has been patiently waiting for football season (American Football - not the World Cup!)

Me - I've been working and trying to diet. Not as easy for me as it is for Tommy. I get up early every morning to hang with the dogs and have some time to myself. I get ready for work at 4:00 am then play on my computer for about 45 minutes after that so I can get my "alone" time. I'm a morning person so it really is easy to get up. The hardest part is staying away at night!!! 8:30 comes and I want to go to sleep.

Erin - she's been doing swim lessons. She loves it and I love her teacher his year. Mr. Tim is great. Erin has learned a lot from him and has made friends with the little girl that is in her class. She is growing like crazy and gets taller every time I look up. Her class at school has shrunk. It's down to about 8 kids. She's been on green everyday for a while. I've been taking it for granted.

Mae and Scooby - Continue to get on Tommy's last nerve. When Momma and Daddy kept them a couple of weeks ago they got out of their fence. They were found, but Tommy said he wished they hadn't been!!! I don't think he was kidding either!

All for now!

DIY Duvet Cover...

I wanted a new duvet cover for our bed. I decided to make one by myself rather than spend the big bucks to buy one.

It turned out okay. I'm not hugely in love with it, but it will do for now. It was inspired by one I saw on Urban Outfitters.

The inspiration...

Here's some picks of the one I made.

I've Got a Secret...

NO I AM NOT PREGNANT!!!

I have a secret but I'm sworn to secrecy until I'm giving permission to share it out. It's regarding me.

Stay tuned to hear all about it. I'll share when I can!

Yankee Doodle Boy...

While I've been playing around with my sewing, I stumbled onto a really cute pattern on-line for bow ties for little boys. Of course I had to make them for the best little boys in my life!

I made this one for William for 4th of July. I thought it turned out super cute. Since I wasn't sure we would see them before the 4th, I mailed it to him. Apparently he was very excited about the mail and even more excited about the bow tie.

He made me the video below as a thank you. It made my day and I thought I would share!

Life at the Camp..

We spent the day at the Mize Fishing Camp yesterday. Instead of going to the Country for Father's Day, we decided to all meet at the Camp.

As always the kids had a great time. They were covered head to toe in dirt when the day was done.

It was super hot when we took the boats out. Tommy, Erin and Peepaw were in one boat and me and Capt. Mark were in the other. We had just gotten settled after Mark took us deep into a creek when Erin said she was ready to go back. The fish weren't biting anyway.

The only mishap we had while fishing was when I got hung up in a tree. I was casting into the shadows under a tree and misjudged. My lure landed about 6 feet up in the tree above it. (Yes, apparently my aim was really, really off.) I tried to get it undone but Mark eventually had to pull the boat up right under the tree while I practically had to climb the tree to save the lure. In the end, I got it. I totally blame the whole thing on the rod I was using. It wasn't Old Pinky - it was one Mark had in his boat. (I would have never done that with my own rod/reel - ;) Pinky rocks!)

Here are some pics from the day. Happy family!
