Preschool Graduation

J.T. "graduated" from preschool on May 29th. All of the classes performed. When I figure out how to get the video from the video camera to the computer, there will be a video! J.T. really gets into his music! He looked so handsome in his cap and gown. I am very proud of him and all he accomplished this year! He is awesome!

Creative Me! Gymnastics

J.T. has taken gymnastics at school for the last 3 years. We have never been able to attend the "show" at the end of the year, until this year. Coincidentally, I work for Creative Me! now. Here are some pics from his show. It was at 1:00 and then he had a soccer game at 4:00. It was a busy day!

Muffins for Mom

These are pics from the Mother's Day celebration at J.T.'s school. Better late than never....

Big Foot

We went to a Firestone Grand Opening today to see a monster truck. It was pretty cool. J.T. thought it was awesome! It is in Smyrna and I think will still be there tomorrow if anyone is interested!

Sarah

We found out last night that Darrell's step-sister Sarah was found dead at her apartment in Austin, TX. She was 23. Some of you know that she has struggled with different problems. It appears as though she drank herself to death. Please keep us and Darrell's mom, step-dad and Sarah's older sister Kristin in your thoughts and prayers. Within the last 3 years, Darrell's step-dad has lost his mom, dad, and now one of his daughters.

The picture above was from the Christmas card that Sarah sent us. We got to see her at Christmas also. She called me just a few weeks ago to wish me a Happy Mother's Day. Lily June and JT talked to her also. I had known her since she was 6 years old. This picture is the best I have ever seen her look. I am very sad for our loss and also very sad that Sarah will never know how much she was loved.

Mother Scratcher

Ok, I couldn't resist stealing that from Clemsongirl! But I am upset. Really. Upset. I like that freakin' Miley Cyrus song "The Climb". I like it alot alot. But that girl makes my skin crawl. I am sure I am going to break down and buy it because it will be a really good running song, but it KILLS me to support that. I have yet to buy any Britney songs on principle alone...and she has some great running songs. I guess I could just suck it up and buy them anyway. Then when I am running, I will love the song and hate the singer and run even harder?! We will see...

Jon Minus Kate Plus 8

For those of you who having just been on the edge of your seat waiting for me to post something, sorry. I am lazy and I much prefer reading other blogs that writing on mine. Although I jest and I am sure nobody noticed my absence...it is time for me to weigh in on Kon. Seriously, whatever he has been doing...who can blame him??? I don't necessarily think he made bad choices because I believe they have some sort of an agreement for him (and her) to do whatever pleases them. I think he really didn't expect to be in the middle of paparrazi, which is naive, but still understandable given he thinks he is "just Jon".

Personally, I believe that there is no way in hell he would have been going out without Kate's permission. Why would he want to get "caught" in the middle of that wrath? She would have taken his balls out of her purse, put them in a vice and dumped them in a dixie cup before she handed them to him.

They need to stop the show and part ways in private. However, I think they are too deep into the cashcow and won't let it go. I really do feel bad for the kids. I have never watched the show for the kids anyway. I am always interested in seeing how Jon and Kate react to things. I will be interested in seeing how this ends up!
