Saturday, July 25, 2009. It seems that it was just yesterday that we were counting down the days until the end of the school year, and now we're preparing to begin a new one. We've been extremely fortunate to have had the time to spend with our family throughout the summer. We've had lots of laughs, fun, and too much food! We're very blessed to have each of you in our lives and look forward to making more memories! And settled on one of our favorite desserts (warm melting chocolate cake- yummy! Monday an...

Tuesday, December 17, 2013. A lesson learned from my 10 year old self. Well, knock me over! Reading that two things hit me. One I can't believe that I don't remember her being bullied. And Two. go ten year old me! I don't know what would be worse. To have a child that is a bully. Or to have a child that is bullied. Our children learn to have a voice as we teach them to have a voice. I want my daughter to make a difference. I want her to understand that she has a voice. a very important voice. Lately I ha...

Presley Fam: July 2013
http://presleyfam.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Mother to a teen. I always looked forward to Bubba turning 13. For some reason 13 seemed like such a huge mile stone. 13 didn't turn out to be as wonderful as I had imagined. Our sweet Bubba spent his 1st birthday in Heaven and what would have been his 13th birthday here on earth with us. Hubs and I went back and forth with how we should handle this very hard day. We wanted it to be a celebration of his life and not a reflection of his death. So, that is what we did. By doing sm...

Presley Fam: September 2013
http://presleyfam.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 2, 2013. 2013 Back to School Fashion Show. When Regan was getting ready to start kindergarten she was SUPER excited! Was our first annual Back to School fashion show. It worked like a charm and Regan was once again excited about going to school. Our annual tradition has grown over the years. 2010. Last year there was no Back to School fashion show. It was too hard. I don't think any of us could have managed to put on a happy face long enough to throw one together. Bless her sweet heart.

Presley Fam: We will not be angry
http://presleyfam.blogspot.com/2012/08/we-will-not-be-angry.html
Thursday, August 16, 2012. We will not be angry. I have sat down to write this post several times and couldn’t find the words. My heart is breaking and my arms are empty. Our sweet Bubba returned home to Heaven in the arms of loving angels one week ago. 8221; We were both angry with Dr. Wonderful for prescribing this new medication and were ready to come after him. I remember saying to the nurses “Dr. …… did this to my baby! 8221; Our emotions were raw and our anger was fresh. August 16, 2012 at 9:44 AM.
