Drying out

Well thank goodness the rain has decided to give
us a rest. I have never seen anything like it.
We have not had it as bad as other places
in the error so we have been blessed.

Left the office yesterday at 3:30 to beat
the traffic. Not so much...everybody else
had the same idea. My normal commute is
about 20-25 min. Well yesterday it was
1 hr and 45 min. If you know me, you know
how much I hate to sit in traffic. So needless to
say when I got home I was OVER IT....

Taylor got out of school at 1:15 instead of 4:15
yesterday so they could get the kids home before it
got really bad here. Hunter gets off the school bus
around 2:30 we around 3:30 he was still not home.
So our wonderful neighbor left for the school to pick up
her son and Hunter. The bus never came to get the kids
from school because the roads had flooded.
It took her over and hour to get to the boys and we only
live 10 min from school!!!!!!!!!!!!! During this time Hunter
called home all freaked out about what was going on but
Rusty assured him that Sherry was on here way to get him.
So he was much better after that. Poor kids eat lunch
around 10:30ish (which I would think was brunch) but
anyways....by the time he got home he was starving....
He ate all his dinner last night.......
So the kids had no school today well the whole state was
out of school today for that fact, due to the weather.
It was a beautiful day today not a drop of rain......
Go figure.....

Water Polo

Well if you have been watching the news then you have seen or heard about all the rain that we have gotten here.

This is the most recent picture of our football field and now looks like a swimming pool. So we can not have any football practices or football games.

So maybe we could try water polo????

The Grandparent

Well my mom and dad will be coming up
this weekend so they can experience what
our CRAZY weekends are like. Taylor
has volleyball matches this weekend in
Rome, GA. Yes, Rome Ga and to boot
we found out we have to be at the school
at 8:15 AM. I did a map quest tonight and
its about 1 hour away. OH JOY
So no sleeping in......................
we will be hitting the road EARLY!
She will have about 4 matches then
we have to be at Hunters football
game at 3. So the grandparents will
be going all over the place this weekend
to keep up with the grand kids and our
activities. Hope they didn't think this
trip would be a vacation....HA HA...
We can wait to see them since it has
been awhile.
Hey mom and dad....don't forget the
bread and I promise to have the coffee
ready on Saturday morning since we will
all need it.

BIG FOOTBALL PLAY

Hunter had a great football game on
Saturday night. And of course I could
not attend since I had a house full of girl
over to Tay's party. So Rusty was
sending me text messages keeping me
up to date on how my little man was doing.
He caught a great pass that was the talk
of the game. It was for the 2 point conversion.
He was so excited!!!! I was so upset
that I had to miss his football game and
then to find out I missed his biggest play
was even worse. He plays again this weekend
and I hope I will not have to miss this game too.

We Survived It

Well we survived the weekend and what
a weekend it was. As always we were
very busy will both kids activities and
then we decided to throw in a sleepover.
My sister was a BIG help in keeping me
together. It was a LONG day. With
Taylor and her volleyball matches
that day then all the "girl" activities.
We took all the girls to get pedicures
with cute little designes on them.
Came back to the house and opened
gifts and watched movies. Taylor got
a bunch of great gift from all her little
friends.
Her BIG gift of the night came from MiMi.
She is going to NEW YORK CITY. I have
not even been to New York City yet and
here is my 13 year old going befor me.
She is busy planning all the places she would
like to visit or shop at. Watch out NYC
her come the "Parrish Girls".
I will post pics soon..so check back.
Thanks again Karen for coming to
the party and helping me out.....

Busy Weekend

Well we are gearing up for yet another packed weekend
at the Parrish House. Taylor will have her birthday party
this weekend and it's a sleep over (what have I gotten myself
into?) BUT I have back up coming. My sister is flying in
on Friday and staying the weekend to help me out and
to celebrate her Niece turning 13. (So do you feel old
sis?) LOL So far we have pedicures planned for all the
girls and if we have time catch a chick flick at the
movies.
Taylor will have 4 matches this weekend and Hunter
has a football game. Its a night game so he will not
have to spend to much time at home with a house
full of girls. Which I am sure when he is 13 he will
not mind having a house full of his sisters friends
hanging out..HAHA

So back to my sister flying in this weekend. With
her new job she has set hours now so she will not
get to fly out of Jax till late in the afternoon
putting her in Atlanta at 7. Yes, 7 on a Friday night
which means I will have to leave my house at like
5:30 and cross my fingers that I make it to the
airport at 7. But it will be worth it because I
get to spend some time with her. Now if I could
just figure out how she can get me about 4 loafs of
bread on the plane and it not get smashed I will be SET.
For those of you who do not already know, in order to stay at
our house and you are from Jax you are REQUIRED to bring
us bread in exchange for free room and board. We can
not get Merita bread here and that is the only bread
we like so we have to take advantage of people coming
that they bring us bread. I know how crazy it sounds
but when you had that your whole life its hard to change.
So with that being said, mom and dad if you are reading
this dont forget my bread when you come up next weekend.

Our Baby Girl

I can not believe that our baby girl
is 13 years old today. (Dang I am
getting old).
The years are flying by so quickly.
She has turned into such a wonderful
young lady. Each day becoming
her own person with her own thoughts
and ideas. Every day when I look at
her I feel truly blessed that we have
been given such a treasured gift.
I remember holding her for the first
time and looking into her tiny face
it was love at first sight. The years
are going by to quickly for me. My
little girl is not so little anymore in
many ways. But no matter how old
she is she will always be "Our Baby Girl"

Happy Birthday Taylor we love you!

Football Season Has Started

On Saturday Hunter had his first game
to start the season. It was a great
game and team did a really good job.
They won the game on Saturday so we
off to a good start. Hunter played the whole
game and he was worn out after the
game. He has 12 solo tackles and
3 sacks. They won 14-0.

Volleyball Game 8/31

Well we didn't win our matches this week but

the girls did play hard. So right now we are 4 in 4

I was able to get some video of our girl.

She is getting better....

Enjoy.....
