Summer With the Kiddos

Well, the kiddos are headed back to Colorado on Tuesday. Their flight is at 7am - and we live 2 hours from the airport... meaning my hubby has to get up at (THE CRACK OF DAWN) 2:30 in the morning to take them. OUCH! That's just painful to think about. I don't function at all, that early in the morning. It's always sad to see them go home, but I'd by lying if I didn't say that it's always nice to settle back into our normal routine. This summer, we did all sorts of fun things! In fact, I think I can safely say that we had a very FULL summer. The...

Saving the World from Illiteracy... One Person At a Time!

Ya'll - I work for the best company in the world! Actually, we were voted one of the BEST companies to work for in Texas for the past 2 years straight! Our company strongly encourages involvement in the community and volunteer work. One of the ways that we do this collectively, is that we participate in the annual Literacy Council of East Texas Spelling Bee - and every year - we go in costume. In 2011 - we were nerds! "Nerds for Words" was our motto. LOL In 2012 - we went as the cast from Hee-Haw - but I was on my honeymoon, so I missed it!...

My FIRST anniversary!

Well ya'll... one year ago today, I married the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful and caring, loving, forgiving, hardworking and generous man I've ever known. I am so incredibly blessed to wake up next to him every morning. I can't believe that it's been ONE year already! Our wedding day was so sweet and special. We got married at my good friend Cristi Atchley's house. It was beautiful, intimate and stress free. How many people do you know have stress- free weddings?! I was very blessed. My brother gave me away. Our cake was...

Funny Fish Stories

Ok ya'll - there is never a dull moment in my life and I can PROVE it! Tori found my old fish tank a couple of weeks ago. Her room is a beach theme, so I had placed the empty tank in her room in case we wanted to get her some fish this summer. So a couple weekends back, we all head to Petsmart to grab her a couple of fish. We got a silver Molly.... and a red Mickey. We figured we'd see how long they lived -and then go back for more later this summer. As the lady was picking us a Molly - she asked Tori if she wanted a girl fish or a boy fish......

Whew! ...Let me say that again.... Whew!

So as most of you can tell, I really struggle with keeping up my blogs up to date. Let's be honest... I'm horrible at it - almost as horrible as dieting. Ok, I wont go there...Lots going on at the Casa de Jameson these days! My step kiddos are here for the summer! Yay! In-laws have already visited (NO COMMENT), little brothers have come to visit.... wait - have I ever told you that I have 12 year old brothers?! They're twins! NO, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M STILL A TEENAGER. When I was 15 my mom remarried and decided to start a whole new family. Lucky...
