10 Months Old!

I can't believe Whit and Brady are 10 months old!!! They are growing up so fast and doing new things everyday. I love to watch them discovering new things, and they are starting to interact with each other more everyday. It is so sweet to watch them smiling and laughing at each other, and Whit is always pulling and/or crawling on Brady.
Here are a few pictures Elliemae took Saturday in front of city hall.

I love the picture below. We are caught in the act of changing the boys. Have you ever heard the expression "A picture says a thousand words"? I think this picture says it all! Sometimes it gets really crazy around our house, but I LOVE every moment!!!

Our 1st Halloween Party

This past Sunday (10/19/08), we went to Whit and Brady's first Halloween party. The boys are, of course, Little Stinkers (skunks). I was worried about it being too hot for them to be able to wear their costumes, but it was perfect weather. They had a great time playing in the hay and watching the other kids running around. Here are a few pictures from the afternoon.

Thanks Walker for our first Halloween party. We had a GREAT time!

9 Months Check-Up

Whit & Brady had their 9 months check-up Tues., Oct. 14, which they are actually 9 1/2 months old. Whit is 27 1/2 inches long and weights 16 pounds. Brady is 27 inches long and weights 18 pounds. The doctor was very happy with their progress for preemies.
Here are a few pictures I took after we got back from Montgomery.

A Girls' Weekend at the Beach!

This past weekend a group of my girlfriends headed to Gulf Shores for Shrimpfest. It was a GREAT weekend. Some of the girls went shopping and some of us went to the pool. I decided to go to the pool, so that is what I did. I spent the whole day out by the pool soaking up the sun.
This was my first weekend away from the boys for two nights in a row. Michael kept them Friday night and they went to his mom and dad's Saturday. I needed a nice, relaxing weekend, but I was ready to come home to see my family.

Thanks girls! I had a wonderful weekend and can't wait to do it again!!!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, today I turned 32!. It doesn't seem like I'm that old, but is 32 really that old? Some say yes, and some say no. I guess it depends on how old you are now. Anyway, when I woke up this morning this is what Michael and the boys brought to me.

I have to say this birthday card is definitely better than any $5 card you can buy at Wal-Mart.

I have had a great birthday. I spent the day with my three boys and enjoyed every bit of it.

Personality Types

A few weeks ago in one of my graduate classes, we were discussing learning styles of adults. In this discussion, we also talked about personality types. So tonight, I was working on my final paper for that class and got a little distracted and decided to go to this website http://www.kisa.ca/personality/. Below are my results, which I thought was very interesting. I thought I would share with you guys to see what you think. Does this really describe my personality? I'm a little leery about the athletic trait.

ESTJs generally have the following traits:
-Natural leaders - they like to be in charge
-Value security and tradition
-Loyal
-Hard-working and dependable
-Athletic and wholesome
-Have a clear set of standards and beliefs which they live by
-No patience with incompetence or inefficiency
-Excellent organizational abilities
-Enjoy creating order and structure
-Very thorough
-Will follow projects through to completion
-Straight-forward and honest
-Driven to fulfill their duties

ESTJs have a lot of flexibility in the types of careers that they choose. They are good at a lot of different things, because they put forth a tremendous amount of effort towards doing things the right way. They will be happiest in leadership positions, however, because they have a natural drive to be in charge. They are best suited for jobs which require creating order and structure.
The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ESTJ. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ESTJ:
-Military leaders
-Business Administrators and Managers
-Police / Detective work
-Judges
-Financial Officers
-Teachers
-Sales Representatives

Okay, back to school work for me! Just think, this time next week, I will be finished with these darn college classes!!!
