My work at home business

Hey guys! I recently have come across a home-based business opportunity with no large investment, no inventory and no risk. It is an Inc. 500 manufacturing company called Melaleuca. When I saw this presented to me, I became really interested. I'd really like to run the concept past you and get your feedback. I work from home with a company that manufactures products that we're already buying elsewhere, but they are better, safer & healthier. We just help set up customer accounts and the company pays us to do so. If anyone is interested in learning more, please contact me and either my website or email. If you know of anyone that might be interested, please give them my contact information!

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hawaiian Luau





Today, Brady's daycare class hosted a Hawaiian Luau Party! They had daycare made leis, paper hula girls hanging from the ceiling, and papermade grass skirts. The kids sang the bumble bee song and the wheels on the bus! All the kids seemed to have a blast, as well as most of the parents. The cleaning lady is going to have a time cleaning the carpet in that room! I've included some pictures from this party so you can see what fun Brady and the other children had!!!

Brady in the Bathtub

I just thought I'd share with you all just how much Brady loves to play in the bath tub! No matter how bad of a day I've had, watching him play in the tub seems to make the everything in the world right!! Hope you enjoy this little video!!




Chris let Brady play out in the backyard this afternoon and because he's isn't the best walker yet, he fell in the mud! Here are a few pics from that experience!

I haven't updated in a while, so I figured it was time to update everyone on our lives! Chris was given the opportunity to help commentate the Glynn Academy football games on the radio 105.9 FM. Tonight was his first time on the radio, ever I think, and he did a really good job. You could tell he was a little nervous at first, but became more confident as the game went on! Brady and I are very proud of him.



Brady has moved up to the 1 year old room at daycare and is learning to eat more table foods! Tonight he ate a grilled cheese sandwich from Crackerbarrel and loved it! His favorite things to eat are crackers, bread and freezer pops. We are working on getting him to love some vegetables, but what kid likes to eat his veggies? Anyway, he is growing like a weed. He and I went to the shoe store today and had his feet measured...his right foot measured a little over a size 5 and his left foot measured about a size 4 1/2. However, we got him a size 4 xx wide shoe, which fits him perfectly! He now has his first pair of walking shoes, which he seems to walk much better in than his Thomas the Train sneakers. Go Figure!! I had the opportunity to babysit for one of my friend's this summer while the teachers were doing pre-planning. Cara was 2 months old at the time and Brady just loved her. He wanted to bounce her in the bouncer and push her in the swing. He adored her and couldn't stay away from her! He didn't like it when she got upset. He would run over to where she was to check on her. It was so cute!!



Today Atlantic National Bank, our bank, celebrated their 10th Anniversary, so they has refreshments and goodies. Well, they also had a drawing for an Ipod. Well, Chris had already been entered into the drawing, so this afternoon when he went to the bank with his dad, he decided to enter my name into the drawing. I got a call from Chris as I was picking Brady up from daycare telling me that I had won the ipod! How cool is that! Guess today was my lucky day! Also, last week I got an offer to work with Dr. Bournigal and Dr. Boswell as their infusion nurse. The position is full time...Monday through Friday 8am to about 5:30pm. I have decided to accept the position. I am very excited to see how normal people live!! I am going to try and stay on at the hospital as a PRN nurse (which is an as needed nurse) if there is a position available that I am qualified for! My birthday was 8/19/08 which was a Tuesday this year. So, on Sunday night before my birthday, Chris decided he would prepare my favorite meal for me...a homemade Japanese Filet and Shrimp dinner. It was delicious. He had the griddle over by the table so he could cook in front of me. He made the rice, shrimp, filet, and even zucchini. He was a great chef that night, but has decided he couldn't do that every night!!! It was a lot of work!



Well, that's about all the news I have for now. Guess I'll have to update more later! I have included pictures of Brady and Cara, Chris cooking my birthday dinner, and Brady eating a freezer pop. Hope you all enjoy!!

Brady turned 1 year on July 16, 2008! We celebrated his birthday with a party on the 19th among family and friends! Brady ate his first hotdog, which he absolutely loved!!! As you can see from the 3rd picture that he got lots of toys that he has very much enjoyed playing with!! He aklso got lots of clothes!! He had his very own cake to dig into, but once he got icing on his hands, he had had enough! Brady is the type of child that doesn't like to have his hands dirty! Boy, are we gonna have to get him out of that! Boys are supposed to be dirty!!! Anyway, I just thought I'd share a few pictures with you! Hope you enjoy! Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate!

I went for my follow-up appointment yesterday after my wrist surgery. I was released to go back to work with the restriction that I cannot life anything heavier than 10 pounds for 3 weeks. I went to day to see the employee health nurse at work who said it would be okay with her if I came back with this restriction, but she had to discuss it with my boss. Well, my boss called me this afternoon to let me know that I cannot come back to work until I am released from this restriction. So...that means another 3 weeks out of work! Although I am really enjoying my time of, being able to spend lots of time with Chris and Brady, I really need to go back to work to help bring in money to pay the bills!!! Hopefully I can get something squared away with my short-term disability company tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed!

My best friend's cousin had heart surgery today to have a valve replaced. I talked to her this evening and she said he came through the surgery just fine. He is in ICU at Eggleston Hospital in Atlanta. They are keeping him sedated tonight, and will hopefully let him wake up tomorrow! Please keep him and his family in your prayers. Pray that he has a full recovery!!

I found out the my memaw's dog has cancer in one of her toes. She is undergoing surgery tomorrow to hopefully remove all of the cancer! My memaw is a nervous wreck! Lucy, the dog, is her life! Please pray that Lucy makes it through the surgery and that she will be able to keep my memaw company for many more years!

Well, I'll update with more later! Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow and a wonderful weekend!!!
