Here we go again!

**We have moved our family blog to www.laverylife.wordpress.com so you can find us over there :)

So I did not keep my promise I made myself back in April. The one that I would keep up to date on my cute little family blog. I have actually debated on just starting over but then I have decided that I will not. I will just pick things up from here and move forward. Hopefully forward will be often!



A quick update on where we are all at right now...


Anthony is a Sophomore, I know! Craziness is abound and football season is winding down. Thank goodness. He is doing so well and has become quite a "hottie"!


Reagan is in 6th grade and madly in love with a girl. He went from wranglers and cowboys to tight pants and motorcycles. (shhh...Don't tell him I said that about the girl.)


Carson is in 4th grade and actually taken an interest in school this year, go figure! He is still letting me baby him when no one else is around, I will take that.


Lawrence is still running the shop here at home and I am his full time parts runner.


Parts runner: A very special position that all wives should be envious of ;)


I guess you could say I am just unemployed. For those of you who do not know already I quit working 2 months ago. It was by choice and has been a great decision. Strangely it has nothing to do with money. Sometimes what is best for your family may be a little rough on the finances but well worth it. It has taken a full 2 months to feel like things are getting back on track in this household.


Life is good here in Lavery-land. It seems like daily I get reminded of all of the blessings we have been given and just how lucky we are to have each other. At the end of the day what is important is right here under this roof, our family.

Lawrence Is So Proud!

I have to share this story. Last night Carson had a friends birthday party and Lawrence took care of everything and got him to the party. When I got home I asked Lawrence how it went. He started telling me about how proud of Carson he was. When they were getting the present together for his friend, Carson said he wanted to make a card all by himself so Lawrence let him do it. When Carson got done Lawrence read the card. He could not believe how nice it was. When I got home that is the first thing Lawrence told me about and he said some of the things that were on it and how proud he was of Carson for being so sweet. The only thing was that he wished he would have made a copy of it to show me. We sat and talked about how great our kid is and it was a shame I did not get to see the card. While we were talking I noticed a pile of papers on the table. In the pile was a birthday card Carson got from Grandma and Grandpa in July. I opened it and started reading it. I asked Lawrence if this is what Carson's super sweet card to his friend said. He looked at it and we both started laughing. When we finally were able to talk again after laughing so much the first thing I said was "you should know better than that his last name is Lavery!" When Carson came in I said "I heard you made a nice card for your friend." He then replied "yeah I copied it out of my card because I could never spell all of that right by myself!"
We are still laughing about this!
Lesson to us...1st-never think a Lavery can come up with all of that nice stuff by himself.
2nd even if he did he would not share it with anyone.
3rd if the spelling is correct he cheated!
