Back to School

Well, we are officially all back to school. Of course Jamie and I went back August 3. Caylee started school August 10. Will had his first day of preschool yesterday. I really did not think this would bother me, but it did!!!!! Dad took him to school and then he rode the bus home. I had just pulled in when the bus pulled up. The first words out of his mouth were, "I love school!!". Man, I hope he keeps this attitude. Caylee loves school and does great. We are blessed that both of our children have great teachers. We look forward to a great year for all 4 classrooms (Jamie's, mine, Caylee's, & Will's).

Also, it is FOOTBALL time in Brighton. Our cardinals had a great showing last Friday night with a big win over Raleigh-Egypt. We host Bartlett this week. I sure hope those Cards get another big win!!!!

Dauphin Island & Holiday World

We just got back home from a great trip to Dauphin Island with my entire family! Our crew tries to go to the beach together annually. This year we decided to try out Dauphin Island. It was GREAT!!! There is not a lot of hustle and bustle there. It is a great place for relaxation!!!! We enjoyed spending time on the beach, visiting the fort and aquarium, eating at The Pelican Reef (Jamie's favorite), khayking in the ocean, and watching the countless doliphins come by.

When we left Dauphin Island, we decided to drive staight to Murfreesboro instead of coming home. We spent one n ight there where we vistited with Jamie's family. We left the next morning and headed to Santa Clause, IN. It was GREAT!!! We spent 2 days at Holiday WOrld and Splashin Safari. We met some good friends of ours there. We all had a BLAST!!!!

Now we are finally back home!!!! It is nice to be home and sleeping in MY bed!!!!

** Sorry we have no pics from holiday world. We got sand in the camera at the beach and it will not work!

New York & Boston

The BMS NJHS (Honor Society) went on our end of the year trip to New York and Boston recently. As a sponsor, I went along for the ride!!!! We had a BLAST!!!! I have never been to these areas, so I was like a kid in a candy store. I absolutely loved every minunte of it (ok - maybe not the 26 hour bus ride, but hey - I can not complain!) We went to The Empire State Building, Statue of LIberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Wall Street, Times Square, Natural History Museuem, 5th Avenue, Shrek the Musical all in New York. Then we left for Boston were we saw the Old North Church, Paul Revere's "path", USS Consitution, Fenway Park. We left Boston and headed to Salem where we went to the Witch Museuem. It was my FAVORITE!!!! Salem is such a NEAT town!!!!! The kids were all WONDERFULLY behaved! We were even told at the witch museum that the kids were the best group of kids to ever go through!!!! What a compliment!!!!!

I look forward to being a sponsor again next year..... We are going to Universal Studios in Orlando!!!!

Disney World

Well, we have made it back home from Disney World. We had a GREAT time. Now we are wore out with tons of laundry to finish. The kids had the opportunity to meet MANY disney characters. We had breakfast with the characters of Playhouse Disney. We meet all the princesses and the Power Rangers. My children were THRILLED!!! Caylee is our little daredevil. She rode EVERYTHING. She does not get that from me!!!! It is great to be back home. Now, 5 more weeks until summer break.

Charity Ball

We attended the Junior Auxiliary Charity Ball Saturday night. We had a WONDERFUL time. I love this organization and all my fellow JA sisters. We raised a good bit of money for the children of Tipton County. Thanks to all of those that attended. For those that missed it, make plans to attend next year. It will be a BLAST!!!!

DISNEY

Our Disney packet came in the mail a few days ago!!!!! It has just hit that our trip is SO close!!!! Watch out Disney World..... here comes the Comer's.

How Sad

On Sunday evening, Alicia Huffman was killed in a car wreck. She leaves her husband and 2 young children. She was VERY active in the lifes of her children and supported them in any endeavor. I do not know what these 2 children will face in the future. I could not imagine my life without my mother (and I am ALOT older than these two). Please keep this family in your prayers.
