Merry Christmas..

A Very Merry Christmas from the Rogers... wishing you the best for 2011!!

listen today...

Saw this poem and had to share...

Take a Moment to Listen (author unknown)

Take a moment to listen today to what your children are trying to say.
Listen today, whatever you do, or they won’t be there to listen to you.
Listen to their problems, listen to their needs.
Praise their smallest triumphs, praise their smallest deeds.
Tolerate their chatter, amplify their laughter.
Find out what’s the matter, find out what they’re after.
But tell them that you love them, every single night.
And though you scold them, be sure you hold them.
Tell them “Everything’s all right; tomorrow’s looking bright.”
Take a moment to listen today to what your children are trying to say.
Listen today, whatever you do and they will come back to listen to you.

buddies...

I know this photo is a little hard to see.. but its Lane and his best buddy! Life doesn't get any better then being 6 years old, at a high school football game with your best friend.

Love you boys!

Stuck like glue...

Here is what B spent the week doing!! =)
So we spent last week with our fire family at convention.. it was great. You will have to minus the smell, the dirt, and the terrible head cold I got, with that said I would go back today! There truly is nothing better then spending time with great friends and your hubby! I LOVE this week every year because Braden and I act like kids again..
Our good friend Trotter played this song often while sitting around at night.. I think this describes us when we are away together!

I love you B!!

Mmmm better...mmm better...
Absolutely no one that knows me better
No one that can make me feel sooo goooood
How did we stay so long together?
When everybody, everybody said we never would
And just when I, I start to think they're rightThat love has died...
[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time?
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo
I'm stuck on youWhutooo whutooo
Stuck like glueYou and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutoooStuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glueSome days I don't feel like trying
Some days you know I wanna just give up
When it doesn't matter who's right, fight about it all night
Had enoughYou give me that look"I'm sorry baby let's make up"
You do that thing that makes me laugh
And just like that...
[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo
I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutoooStuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutoooStuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glueWhutooo Whutoo
You almost stay out, too stuck together from the ATL
Whutooo Whutoo
Feeling kinda sick?
Just a spoon full of sugar make it better real quick
I sayWhutooo WhutooWhatcha gonna do with that?
Whutooo Whutoo
Come on over here with thatSugar sticky sweet stuff
Come on give me that stuff
Everybody wants someMelodies that get stuckUp in your head
Whutooo whutoooUp in your head
Whutooo whutoooUp in your headWhutooo whutoooUp in your head
Whutooo whutoooWhuthoo whutoooStuck like glue
You and me together, say, it's all I wanna doI said
[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

yipee!

I am so excited we are four days away from fire convention!! Time for Braden and I to be just that, Nicole and Braden. No responsibilities, no worries, no schedules to freak out about. No bed times to meet, no dog to feed, no one to please but me!

We have two of our best friends staying with us, it should be great!!!

See you in two weeks....
