Sometimes you feel that you are a complete failure......and then you get a letter like the one I got a few days ago.



Needless to saw it brought a tear to my eye and made me realize that I am not that bad of a mom as I think. In all honestly though, I am not sure I can take the credit. Andre just, Truly, is a great Human being. He surprises me everyday with his compassion and love for others. He wears his heart on his sleeve and gives it freely. I love him so much and could not be any prouder. It is moments like these that I will cherish forever. Andre thanks for being a great example to me and to our family. You are awesome.


Here are some back to school pictures.


WOW the 3rd grade!! when did he get so big. Andre is loving school so far. He has two really great teachers.


Do you love the sneakers. I totally had a mom moment when he pointed these out to me. My mom use to tell me. She could pick out the ugliest thing in the store and I would love it. Well mom, I guess we have come full circle. I consider myself a hip Mom. I am in on fashion trends and rock some of them myself, but seriously, 1985 called they want there high tops back. What I have to ask is what's next.......And don't even ask to shave side steps in your hair.

Random Pictures from the past!!!

Well, that sounds like there from 1980. Not quite that old here are some pictures I found form March of this year. Here again, an attempt to play catch up. This pictures have no rhyme or reason they are just fun!!

One little monkey jumping on the bed.

My best model ever!

Skate or die! Andre has turned into a skater I think? He tries really hard. Although, I am not that impressed with the language at the skate park. Might be the last time I take him there.

Andre just recently found a love for "long boarding". We were at a park and there were these really nice older kids that were long boarding and Andre was in ahhh. They were so nice to him and let him try one of theirs out. Ever since it was all he could talk about. We shop around and soon realized that they are not cheap. So we told Andre he had to save for one. He sold stuff in a yard sale. Helped Grandpa haul wood at the cabin. Finally, he had enough money. I am so proud of him for saving and purchasing the long board himself. I just realized I don't have any pictures of him with it. I guess I better take some. Maybe next year I actually get them on the blog.

These kids love each other so much! They really do.

I love this picture.

Okay even though they are dated pic's I am so glad I got them up here.
