THIS WEEKS RANDOMNESS

So I was confused and crazymama set me straight.

I won this award as well. Again, she is way to kind!!!!

I am awarding this one to my three Sisters




They are fun bloggers who I of coarse love to read. Go check them out!!

This funny little princess's case is KILLING ME!! We have had a stressful week with her case. They are dragging things out to October in court. Layne and I have to be at every court date. Not an easy task during the school year. Who do I bug again to re-arrange their life to play Mom and Dad at our house for a day only to find out we have to do it one and possibly two more times, UUGH... We are so excited and hopeful to move on to the next step in this case .

SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We left the court building before they decided on more dates and now are begging to get out of the last date so we don't have to cut into our already planned family vacation. Don't worry Joy,we think we may have it solved. I will let you know!!

See this handsome guy...

He belongs to Lightnings very AWESOME school teacher. Mr. A

had a beginning of the year BB-Q and swim party. He invited each students family and fed and entertained us all. He has rabbits and chickens in his back yard and he opened the coop so the kids could explore.Lightning was trying to catch this guy.

With no success. I thought for sure he was going to come out with a few war wounds.


Look who won this round!!! He was so proud of himself and I was really impressed!


Bubba even tried to get in on the act. He thought though if he just pointed his finger and bossed the birds around they would listen. MMMMHHH? I wonder where he learned that?? I have got some news for ya buddy . It doesn't work for me either!!




Swimming is always a hit with the munchkins . What a great idea!! We had a great time. :)

While we were there I asked how Lightning was doing. His teacher paused and then began to tell me how much talking Lightning tries to get away with. He said that was his biggest concern. He is getting his classwork done and otherwise is a good boy. I wanted to hug the man fiercely. If talking is all it is, I'll take it!! Lightnings school behavior track record is not fabulous. We have had some struggles and when I went to tell this teacher about his history. He said, "It does not matter!" He meant it. He did not want to hear it. He did not want any preconceived notions. He knows how to handle these kids and has an amazing way with these kids, they love and respect him. I think(fingers and toes crossed) we are going to have great year and I am SOO relieved and thankful!!!!!!!!!

On a sad note Layne's Aunt was killed in a car accident this week. He will be heading to the funeral with his Sister and leaving me to fly solo. While I am so grateful he can be a support to his family, I am not looking forward to the solo flight ahead.He has done this very thing for me countless times and I know just how blessed I am to have him!!

So sorry about Layne's aunt. And for you to have to be the single mom. I wished we lived closer so I could help you out. I had a dream about fostering and adopting a baby girl last night, and woke up totally wanting to do it. Am I nuts?

So glad Lightning has a good teacher. He sounds fabulous! I love it when we have teachers that really love what they do, and are dedicated. It makes a huge difference.

Sorry about the case getting changed. I know how rotten all that CPS crap is. And tell Layne and his fam how sorry I am about his aunt. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you. You know I am available. :)

I am sorry to hear about your husband's aunt! That is terrible news. I am also sorry about the court dragging everything out. I was wondering about October while reading it so thanks for the plug. We will keep our fingers crossed.

My heart goes out to Layne's family. Why does such terrible things seem to be happening lately to such good people!? Hopefully your 'solo' trip won't be too difficult.

And what a cool teacher! It is one of the best feelings to know that a teacher cares about your kid as much as you do.

Sounds like you guys have an incredible school teacher! I'm impressed with his ability to interact with the kids....he sounds like he will be great.

Sorry about the court case...our good friends do foster care and it's taken 3 years and millions of court dates to get their little boys....the system is ridiculous (but that's another story!)

That is so sad about Layne's aunt......Good luck this week!
