Things Kids Say

Spencer came home from school and said that he like having the bus seat to himself. Carrie asked him where was Sam? Spencer said he was home with the "sharts". a couple days later he said Sam was back but he didn't sit too close to him because he had had the sharts and didn't want them again. Nash's favorite words are "mine", NO, Stop, get it, and go. He loves it when his brothers get off the bus. Candy is another favorite word. At dinner he loves to mimic what his brothers do. spencer will fake chew, Nash will follow, hadden will laugh, Nash will follow. hands in the air - Nash follows. this make dinner time entertaining for sure. Hadden and spencer have basketball games today. both their teams are undefeated and both are playing well and enjoy it. Carrie and I are going out for some friends birthday’s tonight. it has been cold in Nashville and rainy for weeks. Maybe we will get a break from that tonight.

January 14 - Geno's 61st Birthday

61 years old - my dad is today. happy birthday. he is spending it in Ohio which is probably colder there than it is in Nashville. Today it was 30 degrees with a nice 10 - 15 mph wind. it made running at lunch frigid. When I was coming in from running with guys (jimmy, Hugh, Steve) someone commented that my hat had ice cycles forming from sweating with it freezing outside. it is funny. we see people coming in from smoking outside that say - you guys are crazy for running when it is (hot, cold, raining, snowing) and yet they walk to their car to drive around the corner to smoke. mmmm..... on days like today I have a blue long windbreaker (rain jacket) that I wear and have been for years. folks have called this the blue tent, smurf, the parka, - but you know what - i would rather be hot than cold. who is ready for spring.... hadden and spencers basketball teams continue to excel. i think the scores were hadden 38-13 and spencer 44 - 4. They both are playing with a good group of kids and having fun. Nash is talking a little more each day. he knows where is belly, toes, knees, head, eyes, ears, nose etc are. He sometimes says No No No. when carrie and i try to sing him a song when we are putting him to bed. He loves it when his brothers get home from school - he runs around and chases them.

Report Card Day

hadden is in 3rd grade and made all A's for this semester. Spencer is in first grade recieved all 3's and 4's and his teacher commented he is a good leader. 3rd grade is the first grade where our kids get grades. nash has stepped it up a level. the other day wehn i was going to change his diaper i thought he was doing his typical run away move but he was going to grab a kroger sack for his stinky diaper. then he laid back down and we made it happen. count down is on for Carrie and our trip to punta canta with some friends in Feb. School started back yesterday. They have been out of school since December 21. It was a great break with lots of good memories....The tide has won their 2nd National title in a year with QB chesty at the helm.....and they beat the team i have never liked growing up or now - ND.

Happy 2013

Well it has been since march since i have posted. It is my goal to post at least weekly with a few funny stories or things that have happend over the week. Christmas was a whirlwind. Time in birmhgam with the family and time in Centerville and Bon Aqua. what a great tine to hang out with our parents and the kids to play with their cousins / grandparents. Hadden and spencer borh got Kindles and airsoft guns. Nash big gifts were a playhouse, roller coaster. I just got back from the sugar bowl with my dad and brother in law paul. Florida got whipped by Lousiville. it was my first time to the commanders palace... the bread pudding is the best in the world. this makes 5 out of the last 6 years i have attened the sugar bowl. Spencer tonight - Seven kids in my class got kindle. But i am not really sure because some of the kids are liars. probably more like 5 kids. one kid said he was on the titantic - he is probably lying about the kindle too
