1st day of school

Today my twins went to their 1st day of Middle School, and my baby into the 3rd grade. I think everything went well. They were all excited and happy this morning. I was super bummed I did not get to drop Jazzy off in her class and get a picture of her and the teacher. But pretty excited that the boys asked me to help them get situated at their lockers, and even gave me a hug good bye. Cause I know next year they will only want me to drop them off at the curb. Than, I joined all my lady friends for breakfast like we have been doing since the twins started 1st grade. We usually use this time, to encourage each other or to just get thru the 1st day of school blues. Although I was the only one who got teary eyed today. 7th grade is just a big deal to me. And I know my boys were really nervous about having a locker and having 7 teachers, and athletics. Just wish I could be there, hiding in the hallways, lurking thru the doors, just in case they need me. lol I know that once I talk to them tonight and they tell me how great the day was, I will feel much better. But still they all are growing way to fast. I had to bargain with Jasmine about doing her hair. She is just ready to do it all on her own. But, its like if I can hold on to that part just a little longer, than I know I still have my baby who needs me. Pretty sad huh?

Been on facebook, and reading some status's. Lots of moms dealing with sending their kiddo off to college. And Lordy, I am not looking forward to that. Ciera did not do the college thing, but when she moved out the 1st time, it was pretty tough on us. But, she came back a month later, and now is gone again. But the 2nd time was not as bad, and she seems to be doing ok. When I think of the boys and Jazzy leaving the house, I get this sick feeling in my gut. Cause I sure don't know what I will do with myself. Hopefully by than, Trav will be home at night with me. I see how fast time is going by, and know it will come alot faster than I want. But what can a mom do? Just got to raise them and love them, and lots of praying, and I know they will make me proud.

Us momma's just got to hang in there, and continue to be cheerleaders for the kiddos! Cause that is just what we are supposed to do...

Vacation 2009

Hello Everyone..I know it has been a long time. It seems when we got back from Vacation, life was in full swing again. But, I am back now. And will say Vacation was great! It was different with out Ciera joining us, she was missed. But I will admit it was kind of peaceful, cause the boys were like best friends the entire time. And that does not usually happen, cause they usually are both fighting for her attention. But hopefully, she will join us again for vacation. So we did Market Square, the River Walk, Fiesta TX. Lots of walking, the boat ride, and lots and lots of amazing mexican food! We even took a friend for Jasmine, so that Trav and I could have some time together. So it was a great 30th birthday gift for me, and some much needed family time away from good ole Boyd. But let me tell ya, I had the most humiliating moment of my life at Fiesta Tx! The girls and I had just gotten out of the lazy river and were walking down some steps, and I some how lost my footing, and there I go, it was like slow motion. My feet went up in the air, my legs spread wide open, and my butt hit and bounced 1,2,3 times down the steps before I could stop myself. A group of guys behind me were like "OH My Gosh! Are you ok?" That is when I refused to make eye contact, I took off my flip flops which had blown out on my way down, and I got up and grabbed the girls and walked away..LOL And yes, I woke up with bruises and my back a little sore! Between that and the mild sun burn on my back, I was pretty miserable on the trip back home. The kids had a great time, even though I think their favorite part is the hotel! The boys and Trav rode the roller coasters, and than the twins and Alissa rode something called the "Goliath" and yes it is huge. Jazzy was excited to find out she was too short to get on it, so we took her pic of her pretending she was on. lol And I was too big of a chicken to ride it. The kids went back for a 2nd ride and were 3 people away from getting back on, when the roller coaster broke, WITH PEOPLE ON IT! So, I call that Favor that the kiddos were not on. We left San Antonio with lots of laughs, lots of funny stories and some good ole memories. And looking forward to something new next year.

The Big 30!

Hello, I know it has been a while since my last post. But life has been pretty non eventful lately, so not really much to write about. I will say, that I have made it possible where my faithful readers can make comments on here. Just post it under anonymous if you don't want to make an acct. I look forward to what people think of my fabulous blogs! So tomorrow is the big day for me. I will officially be 30 years old. And I have been super excited about this for a while. We of course are spending it on vacation, where I will be eating lots and lots of Mexican food. Who knows maybe I will get to see Tony Romo during practice! That would make for a perfect 30th b-day gift!

So, yesterday Jasmine and I were driving down the road, and she was really quiet, and if you know Jasmine you know that is not normal for her. So I ask her what she is thinking about. And she says "You know momma, when you die, I cant think of anyone that will be able to take care of me like you do" Of course this catches me off guard, and I laugh and say "well how about I don't die, any time soon?" Than she says "well your going to be 30 and your just getting closer and closer to the dying age" LOL Oh I laughed so hard. I explained to my sweet Jasmine she had nothing to worry about, and that I would be around for a very long time..Oh the things that go thru her head. On other Hammett news, my mother in law got us a new puppy. He is a cutie, we named him Cosmo. He is half Pekingnese and Chihuahua, they call it a Peka-Chu. lol

A few of my lady friends joined me for dinner and movie, we watched The Ugly Truth. It was a very funny movie, but not for the kiddos. Lots of loving talk, and bad words.

Now in response to some comments made on my post..First of thank you for posting your comments. As for the topic about Best Friends. Your right, as we grow up we realize there are different friends for different things. But, I still find it rewarding to think that as I get older and the kids move out and all that stuff. That I will have a really good best friend, that is that "one" I refer to. And to even think I will have more than "one" is even more rewarding..!

Just a quick countdown update..

30th b-day: 1 day

Looking forward to some comments! Also a real quick thank you for the people who have been a big part of my life over the last 30 years. I know we all have different seasons with each other. But I will admit the last 5 years of my life, I have met some of those most amazing women. Who are all so different and who all bring something different into my life. But most of all, love me and accept me for WHO I am..Especially to my Husband and my kiddos, who have made my life complete! Love yall.
