Stratton's 1st Game!

Well lil Stratty had his first ball game today, and as you can see he did great. The teams tied today. (So they must call for a rematch for next week.)lol

SOMEBODY'S RAISING THEIR CHILD RIGHT!

One day, a six-year-old girl was sitting in a classroom.

The teacher was explaining evolution to the children.

The teacher asked a little boy:

TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes

TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.

TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.

TEACHER: Did you see GOD?

TOMMY: No.

TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see GOD because HE isn't there. HE just doesn't exist.

A little girl spoke up wanting to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed.

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?

TOMMY: Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the Teacher?

TOMMY: Yes

LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?

TOMMY: No.

LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today, she doesn't have one.

Mother's Day

I couldn't ask for a better day, than to spend it w/ my family. Each year is special and cherished. W/ my mom being right there every time I have needed her in the past several years. I can only look at the blessings it has brought to us to make us closer.
It is funny now that I am the mother, how I look at things so much more differently than when I was growing up.I know I don't want to take for granted Amanda & Ryan's child hood, cause they grow up so fast. But I can say I am blessed to have two beautiful, smart children that are so different, but both with wonderful personalities. I love them both so much.
