Bad Mom brings home Candy cigarettes

Don't judge! candy cigarettes were huge when I was a kid. Of course, you can't find them anywhere now lol! I had to go to Virginia for a work trip and saw them at a gas station for .29 a pack and I couldn't resist. Of course they were all given the legal disclaimers prior to getting their pack of candy cigarettes lol!

Tyler First Confirmation 11/2018







Thanksgiving 2018

Guess who's back, back again...

Thanks to my longtime friend Kristy Burell  (since 3rd grade I think) for reminding me on Facebook to blog! Facebook is so fast and easy but I hesitate to post anything too personal because of the privacy issues. Hello my old friend blog!

Once again I guess I will just start where we are because it would take years to catch up!

Today is Thanksgiving 2018. We made reservations at Mimi's cafe for brunch. We ate with Noni, Pops, Grandma Patsy , Wade, Weston, Bryan, Jessie, Colten, KC & Brylie. It was a pretty quick in and out. Brylie didn't feel well and I had to pull over on the freeway so she could throw up. I'm pretty sure taking her meds on an empty stomach didn't help matters. She was heading home to spend the day and second night since she has lived with us with her parents. It's probably safe to say that may have contributed to the stomach issues.

Brylie has been living with us since May after being hospitalized with mental health issues. We have been working with intensive outpatient therapy since her release. She has made great strides since she has been here but she still has a long way to go. It is challenging for everyone involved but very worth it when we see how far she has come.

Tyler has been very funny lately. I suspect he may have a crush on his second grade teacher. He asked me if I had invited her to Thanksgiving and seemed very disappointed when I advised him she probably has her own family to have dinner with.

He was very particular in picking out his brunch outfit. He insisted on wearing a suit and tie. He also added his shades. He said he wanted to look like he was going on a job interview. When I asked him what kind of job he said a gamer. He looked absolutely adorable! He must have learned the word "mature" at school because he keeps telling me how mature he is now.







Collin is my little man now. Mr. well behaved and responsible. That kid is my glue sometimes, except when he has attitude of course. He is such a good kid and is becoming quite a gentleman.



I had to work so Tyler went to Bryan and Jessie's to play with Colten. Collin hung out with Wyatt. The boys went to mom and dads for dinner and I went to the traditional Cracker Barrel with Aaron and Cutty.

Father's Day


 I'd say the dads had a pretty relaxing Father's Day. The day started of course with a tball game...
And then home to swim and hang out. Noni, pops and Brylie joined in on the fun 

Tyler's new friends came over and hung out. 
Finally Daddy got
To open his presents!


He got new cologne, a grill instructor apron and a shadow box with and autographed sparring glove. Happy Father's Day!

Tyler's 5th Homecoming Day

Tyler's 5th Homecoming day started with McDonald's pancakes and hash browns. Then off to a tball game.



Sno Cone time!


Tyler has been begging daily for a Centurion Nerf Gun. Although we don't usually do gifts on homecoming day we decided to let him get the Centurion because we knew it would make his day, and it did. The stinking thing is almost as big as he is!


Next, we headed to Dave and Busters to play some games. I cannot even begin to describe my excitement when he didn't ask to go to Chuck E. Cheese or Magic Mountain!!At least Dave and Busters has a bar!

He decided to have his dinner at Daruma Japanese Steakhouse. He was in complete awe over the guy cooking on the table.





Then back home to have a Nerf Gun battle and cake!




Happy Homecoming Day Tyler!
