Josh keeps reminding me, Allie you haven’t posted a blog in
a long time. Well the truth is, once we got back from Ohio, I was slightly
disabled. True story. I cut two fingers on my left hand with hedge trimmers at
Jeff and Deanna’s on vacation. I know what you are thinking…. What was I doing
yard work on vacation for. Well Jeff is only home a few weeks at a time, the
kids were cool and hanging out with Deanna and Josh and I decided we would help
out a little bit. Apparently that was God telling me to relax for a little bit.
Anyway, I would up in the ER. My fingers were too serrated for stiches, so they
glued me up. I have never been more close to passing out before than that day.
Thank goodness for Deanna squeezing my other hand, telling me to breath. I saw
stars and thought I was lights out. She saved me. Anyway, long story short… I
was out of commission for several weeks using only my left hand. It was difficult
getting myself dressed let alone the kids. Thank goodness I am passed that and
healed. So back to our Ohio trip, Cooper was in hog heaven up on the farm. He woke up every morning ready to help Papa Jeff. Cooper loved riding a real tractor and feeding the horses. Cooper's favorite horse was Sunny. Naturally he was from Florida. Addison was more into the barn cat than anything, although she did like feeding the horses too! She is the crazy cat kid. Obsessed. Cooper is ready for his solo summer trip for sure. He'd be a great farm boy. He loves the outdoor life and yard stuff!

How cool is this?!!!

So, what the heck have the McCarty’s been up to?? Well, as
usual we’ve been beaching it and swimming tons. Addison can now swim on her
own. Both are kids are swimmie free! Its so cool to see. They are both like
fish. I am hoping they both get into swimming as a sport. Amongst other things.
Cooper starts baseball next month, we will get Addison into soccer first. (Her
Daddy doesn’t think Cheerleading is a sport, so I’ll start with gymnastics and
ease him in!) They BOTH start school this month. Can you believe it, Cooper is
in preschool! Which means he starts Kindergarten next year. Time flies fast
with kids.

I was “laid” off at CAT last month (the job I have been at
forever). I was on contract since I came back after Addison so I was easily
expendable under tough times. All is good, because Josh is crushing it at his
new job. He is really kicking butt these last few weeks. I couldn’t be more
proud and blessed to have such a hard working husband who gives me the freedom
to stay at home and raise our kiddos. While some days may be tough and force me
to watch the clock tick to 5:00, I am reminded daily of how fortunate I am to
stay at home with these guys. I thought I was ready to go back to work, I even
had several interviews, but the more I thought about missing parades and
holiday lunches at the kids school, I was saddened. I have the rest of my life
to work, why would I give up these few shorts years when my kids actually want
to be seen with me. So you know what??? I am embracing it. Sometimes I may have
kalua in my coffee just to get me through the morning and some mornings I run
of straight adrenaline. Either way, I am thankful for my hardworking husband!
LOVE
