Gooooaaaaalll!!!!

Tonight was Benjamin's first soccer game  - and the best part?? HE SCORED!! So proud of him!!  He was so proud of himself!!  His team won 3 -1, I think.  So happy for him!

Melissa on the other hand, was not too happy.  She really  hates going to the games. Which I can totally relate! One of my greatest times in my  childhood was when I was old enough to stay at home along AT NIGHT! so I didn't have to go to one of my brother's baseball games.  

I loved staying home alone. The first night I watched Child of the Corn.

Maybe not the best choice of movies.....but still. I was home ALONE AND NOT AT A BASEBALL GAME!!!

So, I'm going to be a good momma and not make her go to William's games later this week.   I know she'll be thrilled!

And hopefully, she won't be watching Children of the Corn.....

From the Best Movie - Ever!

The Old Family Home

A few Fridays ago I went with my parents to Jackson. Here, Dad is looking at what's left of his

great-grandparents' house on Dad's land in Mississippi. 

The Natchez Pilgrimage

Melissa with her Nana and her favorite Aunt Margret

The Big Dance - loved all the beautiful dresses!

The boys may not admit it, but I think they enjoy learning about the history of Natchez.

Mr. 14

While his cake tasted exactly how he wanted it (lemon), it looked nothing like I wanted it.....

That's what I get for trying to take a short cut and not flouring the pan properly!!

April's Fools Day

I really don't like this day. I hate practical jokes - or any joke that's at  the expense of someone else.  Of course, I even feel bad at laughing at America's Funniest Videos! - It just seems wrong to laugh at some one while they could be getting hurt.

Of course, they do send the video in themselves....

ANYWAY!! Didn't mean for this place to be dark for a few weeks....really meant to post....

We've had a good month of March - did lots! Saw family, started soccer, spring break....mostly normal stuff! Will post some pictures...

The Best

 

Was very sad at the BX (base exchange) did not have this tee-shirt in my size.
