“How did it get so late so soon?” ― Dr. Seuss



We are in the car on our way to camp Carpe Diem!!!  Amazing what a year can do!!  Last year was crazy,  I was super emotional, cried the whole way home!!!   This year I can't wait to drop him off!!!  I know he is so excited and can't wait and all my fears just fall to the side!!

Over the next few months the Fowlers are embarking on many new adventures that both scare me and excite me!!  Life is only one journey,  there are no redo's or rewinds!!  You have to embrace it and do what you can with the time you have!!!

Everyone have a super safe Memorial Day weekend and I hope you choose to embrace life and remember its only one life!!!   Thank you to all the soldiers who's life was cut short so I can embrace mine!!!!

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.


My baby on the day of his Middle School Tour
 
 
 
It is so incredibly scary to think how quickly your children actually grow up.  In a few short months he will be in Middle School!!  OH MY GOSH!!!
 
There were many times when B was little that I just knew he was destined for great things.  Anyone who has meet the kid knows he has passion and determination.  He is so emotional and loving.  Unfortunately we have to tell him this year there is no Santa, being naive is one of his best traits.  However being naive and being in middle school scares the holy bejesus out of me!!
 
Since the discovery of Epilepsy and his dreams of being a pilot were crushed he has been dead set on being in the military.  Which as a mother scares me and makes me so very proud at the same time. 
 
 


To think that one day Braydon will be saving the lives of the American people by risking his own scares me.  Don't get me wrong I'm proud, but very scared.  He is very excited about things like JROTC and other activities. 
 
Any way, he is so grown up and it is scary.  So to all you out there who still have little ones......record every moment, cherish every minute, and remember every little thing you can.
 
Don't let life get you to busy that you don't take the time to see the little things in life.  Take the time to be a mom or dad............
