NCHS - EAST JROTC BATTALION

Aaron was "drafted" into the JROTC at school this past semester. He was not at all excited about it. He would even go wait for the bus early in the mornings so we couldn't see him in his uniform. Last night was Family Night for the JROTC to give the students a chance to show their parents what they had learned this year. I will have to admit, we were all impressed! The kids did an awesome job!
Aaron's group marching. As they were marching, Logan was singing, "I don't know, but I've been told"! So glad he didn't know the rest of it! LOL


Salute!

I'm not sure what this was called, but it was really cool to watch!


This was a "game" to follow commands. If you missed the command you had to sit out.



Aaron, along with several others, had to sit out after the first command! LOL He said he couldn't believe it because he always wins in class. A girl beat them all!!!


The Awards Table



Aaron being recognized for Honor Roll!!!!

Aaron being recognized for being promoted. He has actually been promoted twice this semester. In order to be promoted, you have to lead a group in a march and your are judged by a committee. We are so proud of you Aaron! He told me this morning that he plans to continue to stay in the JROTC! I'm so glad he took an interest in it.








Camryn's Ballet Recital

Awwww....it's a fairy ballerina necklace. Is she posing now or what?!?!

Camryn's class performing "Beauty and the Beast". Camryn is in front of the clock.

Camryn with her flowers from us at Geema's. She did sooo good at her recital and smiled the ENTIRE time she was on stage!!! I was so proud! I took ballet until I graduated from high school and I love that she takes it too! This was Alyssa's first year not taking ballet. I was a little disappointed because she really is a natural, but so not my girly girl. I have to accept that they have different interests.

One busy weekend

We had a great weekend! My brother, niece and nephew came over Friday night and we cooked Steaks and Fish Sticks! LOL What a combination, but that's what the kids wanted! They ended up spending the night and the kids had a great time!

Saturday morning, my brother and his kids left about 8:30 and then my three went to their Dad's at 9:00. I headed to the tanning bed to find that I forgot to book an appointment! LOL No worries, I was worked in and got to hang out with Cathy and Tammy a little bit! When I got home, CJ and I got ready and headed to Roanoke Rapids. First, we stopped at The Sonic and had lunch. Then, we headed to Hallmark to pick out some Mother's Day gifts and a birthday present for my Mama. CJ bought me 2 beads and 2 spacers for my Pandora bracelet for Mother's Day! He was scared to pick them out on his own! LOL We then headed to my niece's soccer game. It was their championship game and they lost. She was so disappointed, but was so excited that I came to see her. She made me feel really good and I was glad I went. After the game, we headed to Chik-Fil-A for a milkshake, stopped and got gas and headed home. We were probably home about 10 or 15 minutes, when we left to go to Ahoskie. We ate supper at Catherine's and then went to see the movie Next Day Air! (Don't waste your time on that one! Ugh!) We then headed home, watched a little TV and finally crashed for the night! We had such a great day!

On Sunday, my kids got home at 9:00 and they had me a waterfall for Mother's Day! They were so excited and had to assemble it immediately! Logan on the other hand was sick. He came home and throwed up and informed me that he had thrown up at his Daddy's before he came home. He fell asleep in my arms at 9:30 and slept about an hour! When he got up, he felt much better! He was one busy, wild little boy for the rest of the day! Since he was feeling good, we headed to Mama's and cooked out for her for Mother's Day! CJ left early because he went to the beach with his sisters to meet his Mom for Mother's Day! They did a little shopping and went out to eat at the Black Pelican. I was excited because when he got home, he had bought me 3 Ralph Lauren Polo T-shirts....he bought himself 7 and his Mom bought him 4 for his birthday! LOL I asked him did they have any colors that he didn't get. He looked at me real serious and said, yeah, but they didn't have my size! LOL I think he would have gotten every color! He got a really great deal! They went to the outlet store, and got the shirts for a little over $8 a piece! That's my kind of sale!

Okay...well this blog was entirely too long and have so much to do! Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!!

Hey Cathy!

Hey Cathy!!! I noticed you have not blogged in 4 weeks!!! You all remember Cathy don't you?!?!? According to the picture, I see you are very busy at work, but you could take 5 minutes to blog and update us all! LMAO!!! There is a funny story behind this picture! I took a picture of Cathy at Aaron's birthday party, and she was VERY tan! So, we wanted to see if it was the lighting or was she really that dark! LOL So, I snapped a pic. We discovered she's not as dark as she was in the pic, but she does look fabulous!!! Love ya girl and get to blogging!!!

Meet Hungry!

Well...I went to Weight Watchers last night and used my "no weigh in pass". My scales are pretty accurate with WW, so I didn't need to see the gain again! Here is my little "Hungry" doll that I purchased for inspiration purposes! I also have a smaller one that is a magnet. For now, he is on the fridge at work right where I can see him! So...I'm going to work really hard this week so I will have some good results to post next week! I'm off to start on this huge stack of work in front of me!! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The vacation is over....

It seems like I've been on vacation....from my diet. I haven't been to Weight Watchers in 2 weeks! I could give you a ton of reasons or more like excuses, but why bother. The truth is I've been in a slump, and I've enjoyed eating. I haven't been crazy because I've only gained a little over 2 pounds. I'm going back to my Weight Watchers Meetings tonight and hopefully getting myself back on track.

A friend of mine stopped me at school one day this week and told me how good I looked. Me, really?!?! That made me feel really good and made me realize I have come too far to give up now. I looked back at some pics the other day and thought, how can that be me? It's not like I have lost a tremendous amount, but what little I have lost, I want to keep off and keep working on it. So...back to my Friday Weight LOSS blogs, not gains!

Just for fun!

I don't know which is funnier.....that I found Maggie all buckled up or that I took a picture of it and put it on my blog!!! LOL It is clean up week in Conway! So, everyone has been cleaning out their attics and barns and putting all their junk in the front yard for the town to pick up! Anyways, upon cleaning out the attic at Mama's, we ran across several of my old toys and Maggie from the Simpsons caught Camryn's eye! She wanted me to take her to work, but I figured I might get some funny looks. I had no idea she had buckled her up this morning! I spotted Maggie when I made a trip to the main office this morning. I laughed all the way there and thought, I need to put this on my blog! LOL

Logan's 1st Trip to The Norfolk Zoo

Logan had the BEST time at the Zoo! He was soooo excited about his field trip and was literally counting down the days. He did really well and I was very proud of him. I actually saw kids from other groups that were wilder than him! LOL I did not know that was possible. I was assigned one other little boy to walk with me and Logan. All the other parents had 3 or 4 a piece. I guess the teacher figured I had Logan and I could only handle one more! LOL Fine with me!
Logan was fascinated with the map!!! Everytime I looked at him, he was checking out his map! I guess from all those episodes of Dora!
I can not remember what you call this animal, but everytime I go to the Zoo with my kids, they HAVE to have a picture of him!

I did not use much zoom on this giraffe. He got pretty close! When we went to the gift shop, Logan chose a stuffed giraffe and a giraffe mask to take home.


My buddy climbing a rock. Isn't he the cutest thing?


We ZIPPED through the Zoo and took a break to get some popcorn (one of Logan's favorite things). Logan only wanted to see the BIG animals! We can see chickens, pigs and cows around home. He was not impressed with them at all!


My cute little boy!

Logan touching the water fountain!
