I want a Spockable

Trey often times doesn't understand why I do what I do. I might not be able to explain my crazy ideas too well myself, but I do what I do for good reason, usually. Sixteen years ago, I was a freshman at Ole Miss, went through rush, and pledged Tri-Delta like my mother and Ashley (my sister in law). I was plenty active in the chapter while I was there, but after graduation I regressed. Last year I cranked it back up by attending bid day and again this year I was plenty involved. Our babysitter is a Rebel and now a DDD too!

These two girls worked hard rushing Anna Greer.

Her mom and now sister.

Her little sister

All the excitement and heat got to her and she fainted!

I'm proud proud proud!

I stayed for a hot minute at Bid Day and then jetted to the Oxford baseball fields for Ford's weekend tournament.

Several games on Saturday, three games on Sunday, and The Giants came in second out of 13 teams.

He was disappointed they weren't first...that's life.

Getting his ring.

His third ring....

It was a late night so sister wasn't in attendance.

But she was proud her Geer went DDD.

When you mow and have helpers.... lawn mower naps are the best.

The dog is named Otis... I think. It's amazing trying to potty train two!

Sometimes you need a huge bunny, a pony tail and cleats.

It's been hot and my littles like popsicles, but Annie can't say that word. Instead she calls them "spockables".

B-I-G NEWS ALERT!!!!!!!!

Dad and Patty are getting married!!!!!!!! The nuptials will take place in early December. Losing my mom was brutal and watching my dad experience grief and loneliness tore me up. Patty has been a constant since mom got sick and over the last 4 years their friendship grew. We are so thankful for this lady and what she means to our family. I am excited she's joining the Anthony crew!

Homecoming Festivities and such...

School dress up days are the best. When I was a student I enjoyed them, but I really loved getting to partake in the fun as a teacher. Now I can share the love with my kiddos. I am not sure they share the excitement like I do, but nonetheless, they participated!!!!!

Monday- Dress like old people

Tuesday- Hawaiian Day

Wednesday- Monsters University

Lets just say that Bitty was in character all day, as a monster, and got in trouble in class!!!!

Wednesday was also the homecoming parade around the school which sister and I attended!

That afternoon, a nap was necessary for Annie girl.

Wednesday afternoon the boys started trying on their superhero outfits for the Thursday. Annie found one that fit her and wore it to church that night!!!!!!

Thursday- Super heroes

Sometimes you just don't feel SUPER on superheroes day!

Thursday I checked Ford out when I got the littles at 11:30 because Fancy surprised them with a new puppy. Meet... Otis, at least I think that's his name. He's an 8 week old German Wirehaired Pointer.

I'm pretty sure this is Bitty's dog. He's like the baby whisperer.

Annie is a tad bit scared of him and screams, "Dog no get me!!!"

At the present time, I think he's super cute but I'm annoyed with the shoe chewing and the potty training of him and Annie.

Friday- Spirit/Jersey Day

Two years ago the school started tailgating the day of homecoming on the front lawn. It was a super hot day, but everyone had big fun.

Ford's class of 2028.

At the pep rally Ford won the dress up spirit award for his class. This made him happy since last year I got the stink eye since he didn't win!

Bitty Bear is also playing soccer!!!!!!

Trey, who is also part decorator, has been on my case about patio furniture. We bought 4 chairs this week...now I gotta get an outdoor rug. Did I ever mention I HATE shopping for house decor???
