Funny Story :)

As anyone who is close to my family knows, Cole is a HUGE chicken. Cluck... cluck!! Anyways, the other night I am working on the computer trying to return PTA emails, order spirit wear, catch up on my Facebook, etc. I told Cole to go upstairs and take a shower. A little while later I realized I couldn't hear any water or him stomping around getting ready. So I tell Carson to go upstairs and make sure Cole is in the shower. I hear Carson stomping up the stairs and then I hear him loudly say: "Get in the shower scarey cat! Nothin gets a mean boy!!" I started dying laughing. A: he says scarey cat instead of scaredy cat. B: my 3 year old is more brave than my 7 year old. Good times... good times!! :) Gotta love little brothers.

Austin trip :)

Every summer our PTA board members are offered the chance to go to a convention in Austin. Not only is it a great opportunity for team building and to learn the in a nd outs of Texas PTA, but it is also a ton of mommy fun!! This year I went with Valarie and Kirsten. Valarie and I were already buds, but it gave me a chance to make a new friend who is dear to me. We had a blast going to classes, out to dinner, and talking to the homeless. Well.... I thought they were homeless.... long story. :) Kirsten came on Friday morning to pick me up. We then went to Val's to get her. Here she comes with her big sunglasses on and a look of not so happy. Once in the car she proceeds to take her glasses off to show us her BLACK EYE!! She was using a lever on her son's light and it fell on her face. I felt so badly for her. We were going to a friggin PTA convention and she has a black eye. No bueno. :) Enjoy our pics. We had a blast!!

Summer Fun!!

This has been an awesome summer for the Fortenberry family!! We have made some new friends that I know are lifelong friends. It has been a relaxing summer, but one we tried to keep the boys busy... and mommy go nuts. :) Here are some pics just to highlight our fun. Yay!!!

Florida Vacation!!

So this summer was the first out of state family vacation we have done. Neil and I used to go to Mexico or somewhere every summer. After becoming parents our travel slowed WAY down. Lol. So we decided it was time to hit the road. We drove to Florida in August. We stopped in Louisiana and took a airboat sunset swamp tour. It was awesome. Cole was ecstatic!! He was like the Crocodile Hunter. Hee hee. Neil caught a baby crocodile and I got the whole tour on video. :) Then we stayed over in Mississippi to catch some sleep. The next morning we woke up early, ate breakfast, and took to the road. It was a long drive... when you have 2 kids in the back asking are we there yet?? We FINALLY reached Florida and had the best 6 days ever!! We lived off of seafood for a week, stayed almost 24 hours a day on the beach, and took some amazing pictures. We are already planning for skiing in December and have decided it isn't so bad that the boys are getting older. It is now allowing us opportunities that we have desperately missed. :)
