Good Morning, everybody! It is the beginning of a new week...and aren't we ALL excited??!?! Did we all have a good weekend? Mine wasn't too terrible...

On Friday night...not much happened...I got off work at 3...YEAH, early day!!! Then Cole, Ronnie & I ate dinner at Red Robin...good...but definitely OVER-PRICED! Will NOT be eating there again!! Then we went to Walmart and played in the toy department for about 2 hours until Cole started getting super grumpy and Ronnie had chased off everyone else with his nasty gas problems!!!!

On Saturday, again...not much. We slept-in mostly. When Ronnie got up, he gave the doggies a bath. Both of them have caught fleas...which is SO lovely!! So, they have both been banished to sleeping in the den. Hopefully the flea shampoo and flea meds will kick-in quickly and clear them up. I hate creepy-crawly little bugs!! After dealing with the pups, we went to Nelson's for a BBQ and just hung out with him for the night.

On Sunday...I think we accomplished even less than usual!! Cole and I played with toys for the majority of the day. Ronnie FINALLY got out of bed around 3 IN THE AFTERNOON and mowed the lawn.

What can I say? We're just a bunch of bums!!!!!

So, Mom will be down on Wednesday. She is about to explode with excitement. And I am ready for the drama of moving to be done and over with!!! This one is going to be a looooong, drawn-out process because they are moving down in shifts. I don't know why...I just know that is how it's gonna be. Mom and Tell are going to leave Nebraska at the butt-crack of dawn on Tuesday, at which time they will drive to Chicago to visit some friends. Then they are leaving Chicago at teh butt-crack of dawn on Wednesday and driving down here. So, they should hit Montgomery in the evening. Fun Stuff!! I know how much that drive sucks...and I am SO GLAD I don't have to do it!!

Well, that is all the excitement for now. Gotta go underwrite some auto insurance! Peace-Out!!

Ahhhh...another day...another dollar!!

Does anyone else feel like this last weekend just flew on by? It's amazing how slowly a Monday or Tuesday will creep by...but let Saturday get here and it's like someone hit the fast-forward button!!

Our weekend was pretty good this time around. We didn't do a whole hell of a lot...which is just the way I like it!!

On Saturday, Cole and I hung around the house while Ronnie took my car up to his parent's house so he could change the oil. He ended up spending several more hours there than anticipated due to a torrential rainstorm! After he finally completed that chore, his parents drove down to Montgomery and we all went out to eat at Carrabba's. YUMMY!!!

Sunday was a day completed wasted!! We did NOTHING, and by nothing, I mean NOTHING!! I made a big pot of Italian Soup and did some laundry...and then laid around and read my book while my husband watched the TV. Pretty relaxing and JUST what we needed!

We had some excitement with Cole...he pulled himself up ALL BY HIMSELF on the couch!!!

We are SO proud of him...and he thinks he is the coolest thing since sliced bread!!!! I guess it truly won't be much longer until he is running around the house like a crazy person!! Can't wait!!

Hope everyone has a GREAT week...don't work too hard!!!

Ahhh...the end of another week...and here we are on the eve of my FAVORITE holiday!! All day long I was so excited for the day to end I just couldn't help but be happy and cheerful!!! It also helped that this was only a 4-day week instead of 5!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!

I think Cole and I will sneak up to Wetumpka tonight and purchase some flash and sizzle (a.k.a fireworks)...I am going to refrain from getting anything that is TOO loud and TOO crazy, just so I can get Cole used to them this first time around...but in the years to come...he better be a pyro just like his dear mother!!

My parents got the Unofficial--Official Word that they will be stationed in Huntsville, AL come the Fall. We are pretty excited about this news...most especially because it means that going to see them will not require plane tickets or a 15-hour drive any longer. And I know they are more than ready to get out of Nebraska. They have enjoyed meeting new people and experiencing a new community...but they are ready to come back to the South...where people are...normal?!?!? HA HA HA!!! Well, maybe not normal...but certainly more friendly and welcoming.

Update on Cole...he is crawling faster and faster everyday. He is starting to figure out how to pull himself up on things...so I'm sure walking isn't all that far away!! Once he gets up, I'm sure he will NEVER stop running...can't wait!! His two little teeth creep out a little further every day...he bit me on the hand the other morning and actually left a mark!! Guess who has learned not to stick her hand in the baby's mouth anymore!!! He has also started saying, "Baaa Baaa Baa" over and over and over and over and over again...can't wait to see what that turns into. He's very silly...and acts A LOT like his Daddy!! Every morning when I wake him up to get him ready to go to his Grandma's house, he will give me the NASTIEST look and then roll over on his stomach...I'm sure if he could talk he would throw in some colorful language as well...HA HA HA!!! I see lots of butt-whoopins in his future....

Update on Ronnie...he is going to look at a fishing boat tonight. He has been absolutely DYING to get one for the past week. I don't know why he suddenly decided that he MUST have one right this second...but he has. So, we made a deal...cuz there's no WAY I am going to get the short end of this stick...and if the boat isn't a hunk of junk...we may have a little boat by the end of the night!!! Hmmmm....oughta be interesting! At least I will have someplace to sunbathe and read a book while he fishes...that the snakes can't get too!!!!!!!!!!

Alrighty...everybody needs to have a wonderful and relatively safe 4th of July!!!! Light some for me...cuz I can NEVER get enough!!!
