Michael

I just was feeling a little sentimental and I wanted to brag on my husband. No one knows Michael the way I do, and that makes me happy. Most might know him as someone who is smart and quick to give someone a hard time. Or maybe someone knows him for his love of beer, good food and Auburn football.

But let me tell you about my husband Michael. God truly blessed me with an amazing man. His love for me and our children transcends through everything that he does. He works hard and he plays hard and he always keeps us in mind when he does.

I know no matter what happens in my life, Michael is my home. I find peace with him; I find love with him and most importantly I find happiness with him. My boys couldn't ask for a better Daddy and I certainly couldn't ask for a better husband.

Okay, you can go vomit now :)

Pretty Pretty Princess

Some of you might know that Carter calls me "Pretty Pretty Princess". I'd love to say that he came up with that on his own, but no, his mother brainwashed him into saying it. Well, today it came back to haunt me.

I was up at the elementary school volunteering after school making copies. So Carter normally will hang out with my niece, Maggie and he knows his way around the school pretty well. At about 4 o'clock, knee deep in copies, I hear over the intercom "Michelle, if you are still in the building Carter is at the ASP (after school program) desk, could you please come get him". Great!!! The place I would like to be hired someday is realizing that I can't even keep up with my three year old.

When I go to retrieve my child this lady is just laughing as she is walking away from Carter. She apparently saw Carter wandering the halls and didn't know who he was so he asked him who his mommy was and he said "Pretty Pretty Princess". And that's all he would tell her. So she walked him to the ASP desk and the lady there knew him and was able to call for me, but he just kept saying my name was "Pretty Pretty Princess". He was pretty proud of himself when I found him.

BOYS!!!

Crazy Vance Boys and a Yellow Dog

This is what happens when two Vance boys don't have enough to do on a Sunday morning...

Cagle's Dairy

So we took the boys to Cagle's Dairy Farm North of Atlanta this past weekend. We had a GREAT time!! It is the only dairy farm in the state of Georgia that not only produces the milk, but processes, bottles and distributes it. We were able to tour the dairy and see how milk is made and for a couple of city boys this was good for them to see! They were able to see what the cows eat and why they eat what they eat. There are pictures of the Holstein cows coming right up to us during our wagon ride. To be honest, I wasn't quite expecting that. They were HUGE! The cows that are out in the pasture are the ones who are "with calf". We also were able to get up close and personal with calf that were only one week old. We fed goats and even watched a pig race...poor Wilbur, he didn't win! We sampled some of their chocolate milk and it was soooo good!! They boys also had a great time jumping on the "pillow". They even got to go on a "horse" ride! I always feel so sorry for those ponies just walking around in circles! It was a beautiful October day and we just had a great time!!! And for those of you wondering, the boys do own other clothes other than there jerseys, but what is the point of wearing them during football season!! Enjoy the pictures! If you would like to see them better click on the "more" underneath the pics and it will take you to a site with the pictures posted!!

What Happened???

Yesterday we were down at the bus stop and Carter was talking to our neighbor and he told her that it was picture day!! He was right and I had completely forgot! So I got him dressed and just couldn't believe how big he looked! I can't believe he will be FOUR in December!! Where has the time gone! I told him to smile like he would for his pictures at school...we'll see how they come out!!

What kind of mother does this???

So Zack and I were goofing around and he was asking me to draw him a moustache on his face. Well, this is what happened...
