The Leisten's

Here we go again!

2011-04-25T21:19:00.003-04:00

Well......after much thought, guilt and encouragement from my sweet cousin Robin--I am going to start blogging again. When I saw the awesome book that she was able to print from her blog-I realized that my desire to scrapbook could come true through the blog. I love my books of my boys but when Emma was born, I dropped the ball and couldn't make time to scrapbook. So for now, I will start from now and work backwards as I have time!

Dying Easter Eggs

2011-04-24T21:13:00.001-04:00

We did our traditional dying of the eggs on Saturday night! They of course looked fabulous and the kids had a great time as always! I wonder what it will be like when I don't have 3 sweet children to dye eggs wit anymore?

Visiting the Easter Bunny

2011-04-24T21:07:00.000-04:00

Tanner and Emma went to the Smithfield's egg hunt and had their picture made with the Easter Bunny. Emma was excited and Tanner, not so much!

YAY- I'm all caught up!

2008-12-27T23:34:00.001-05:00

Well, I have sat on the couch with my laptop for about 2 1/2 hours updating the blog! I get so far behind that it takes me a long time to actually get caught up! So......one of my New Year's Resolutions is to be better about updating! Wish me luck!

We always go to my Grandmothers Christmas night. As far back as I can remember, that is where I have been on Christmas night. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. We had a great time. It was nice to sit and talk to everyone, catch up and see Roby's kids. They are all growing so much!

Santa Came part 2

2008-12-25T23:15:00.001-05:00

After the kids went through all their gifts, this is what it looked like! The boys wouldn't get off the DS and we had to make sugar cookies with the Easy Bake! Lala and Papa always come for breakfast and see what Santa brought! So........Lala could help with the baking!

Santa Came!

2008-12-25T23:09:00.000-05:00

Santa Came!! He delivered all the goodies that the kids ask for. Josh and Tanner only wanted a DS and some clothes, Emma wanted an Easy Bake Oven and bouncy balls! I love seeing their faces glow on Christmas morning! It is so magical!

Somewhere in NC

2008-12-23T23:04:00.000-05:00

On the way home we kept passing areas of ice. Josh loved the large icicles. So..........as soon as we found one on our side of the road, I pulled over so he could go look at it up close. Emma wouldn't get out of the van and Tanner stayed in Knoxville until Wed. and came back with Jenn. But it was a great picture of Josh!

Visiting The Wooten's in Knoxville

The kids and I took a trip to Knoxville for a few days to visit Jennifer and Braxton (Brian too!). I miss her so much! She was one of my closest friends. We had plans to go to Dollywood and Ice Skating, but it never got above 19 degrees, so...........we just hung out and didn't do a whole lot! It was so cold that your body ached! It was so nice to see them, and we hope to take a trip again soon!

Ringing the Bell

2008-12-13T22:36:00.000-05:00

Jennifer LeCroy and I signed up to ring the bell at Wal-Mart today. I brought the kids with me and I think we got more money on our shift then anyone! The sweet girl in the red coat did it! Everyone stopped to say how sweet she looked, and then they handed her the money to drop in the bucket! It was great!

Kyndal's Baby Dedication

2008-12-07T22:32:00.001-05:00

After 30 minutes and 42 shots, we finally got a great picture! We wanted to go to Aunt Robin and Uncle Travis' house for their new outdoor scenes, but the weather would not cooperate with us on Saturdays. So........we just did it in their Christmas pajamas in front of the tree!

TPC Christmas Lock-In

2008-11-06T20:19:00.002-05:00

We saw Laura Story and Mark Harris in concert. They were both AWESOME!! We also attended the Chili Cook-off. Some was good, some was not so good!

Jesse James

2008-09-08T19:50:00.000-04:00

2008-08-23T21:36:00.000-04:00

Tonight we went to Lawrence's "Sweet 16" High School Reunion. They have never had a reunion before so it was really neat! It was nice getting to meet some of the people that he went to high school with. He really enjoyed seeing everyone. There were a few people that he wanted to see that didn't make it. Hopefully it won't be 16 years before they get together again!

Sweet Tanner!

We took a long weekend trip to the beach this weekend. We were only there from Thursday to Monday but it was a nice trip! We did not plan to go to the beach this year since we went to Disney. However, the kids--mostly Emma--kept asking to go to the beach. So....we decided to take a small trip. It was wonderful because I know that she understood the ocean and beach this time. She was sooooo excited. However, she didn't want to play in the ocean by herself so mommy and daddy had to spend hours in the ocean riding the waves with her. She loved that, but only if we were holding her. Joshua and Tanner hardly ever even got out of the ocean. I think they had more fun this year than they ever have! I love going to the beach with my family. It's just one of those trips that I look forward to every year!

Vacation Bible School

2008-07-30T21:26:00.001-04:00

Good Friends, Good Times!

2008-07-25T21:14:00.001-04:00

Kim-front , Toshia-back, Melissa-front, Patti-back
This week I spent some time working for Victor. Unfortunately I heard that a friend of mine from Laurens died that weekend. So........the only phone number I remember from my childhood (other than my own) is Melissa's. Needless to say she doesn't live there, but her parents do. I called them and left a message for them to have her call me and I left my number. She called and we talked about the friend that had passed away and since I was working in Simpsonville that week, we planned to meet for lunch! She also contacted a couple of our other friends and we all four met for lunch on Friday! I have not seen Kim or Patti in 15 years!! It was great to see them. Melissa and I have seen each other a couple of times. We were the best of friends in elementary school and middle school. Melissa lived across the street from me growing up. However, we lived in the country and across the street meant 1/2 mile up the road! LOL!! We are planning to not wait so long and try to get together every couple of months or so!

Magic Kingdom- Day 2

2008-07-17T23:04:00.000-04:00

Day 2 was just as magical as Day 1! We did many different things this day. The boys of our family rode Space Mountain about 5 times that day! They loved all the big rides this year. I can't wait until Emma can ride them all with us! For about 2 months before our trip, all the boys wanted was a turkey leg. So......after about a 45 minute wait, Daddy came through and got them the turkey leg! They loved it! These are memories that will be with us for the rest of our lives!

The first day at Magic Kingdom was great! We were scheduled to go to Blizzard Beach, but it was suppose to rain, so we changed our plans. We had a great day!! We decided to cover certain areas one day and the other areas the next day. It was the perfect plan. We were able to do so much more and the kids had a blast. It can't be explained, only experienced!

Tanner and Emma danced in the parade too! the boys and Lawrence really like the stunt car show. It started to rain about 2:30. It rained SO hard that we had no choice but to leave. The puddles were ankle deep. It was miserable. The funny thing was- Emma slept through the rain as we were trying to leave. She woke up about the time we were exiting the park. That night we went to the Disney Boardwalk and enjoyed dinner at the ESPN Zone.

Date Night

2008-07-13T19:48:00.000-04:00

On Monday night, Debbie and Curt watched our children while we enjoyed a great date night! We had a nice dinner and then enjoyed our favorite game together---Air Hockey! Mommy won the most games! We had another couple take this picture for us and when we looked at I had one of those "ah ha" moments. I realized that I no longer look like I am in my twenties. UGHHH--But all in all it was a GREAT night!

We got to see a couple of shows, ride most of the rides, and barly had to wait. The only problem was it began to rain about 3:30. It rained so hard, that we just went back to the hotel. After we dried off and changed clothes, we went to the Rainforest Cafe dinner!

2008-07-05T20:54:00.000-04:00

The July 4th party at Smithfields was actually on Saturday July5. We had a great time swimming, playing games, dancing, and eating. In the first picture you can see the storm that kept coming and going all evening. The kids would get in the pool for 15 minutes and then have to get out for 30 minutes because of the storm. I love the picture of Andrew and Emma posing in the pool. The boys were standing on the edge of the pool because the lifeguards threw in tons of quarters for them to go and find!

Family

2008-07-04T20:50:00.000-04:00

Babysitting Baby Marla

2008-06-20T20:00:00.000-04:00

Last week we got to babysit Baby Marla! The boys were at basketball camp so it was just Emma and I. We had a great time! It was so funny because Emma wanted Marla to do everything she was doing. She played with her so good. We went to Jimmy's for lunch and Emma insisted that she feed Baby Marla! So Marla had green beans, rice and gravy, bread, and mac-n-cheese! I love this picture because Emma put Marla in the back of her bicycle and tried to ride her around!!

A few weeks ago, President Bush came to town for Furman University's graduation. Well, Lawrence and I were headed to the mall and realized that the President's motorcade was about to come through. So.........we pulled over with the other 100 people on the side of 385 and stood on a guard rail only to get a glimpse of the hundreds of state troopers and the President's limo! Here is a picture of his limo riding in front of us-- and Myabi's on 385!!

On May 26, 2008 Emma and Joshua had their first dance recital! They both did wonderful! Emma is the "Dancing Queen". In the beginning she was very shy and she is the youngest one in her class, but you would have never known it! She did great! She had 2 routines- Ballett- When you wish upon a Star, Tap- Zip-a-Dee-Do Dah. Joshua took Hip Hop and did awesome. There were only 2 boys in the class, but that didn't slow him down any! They didn't get their dancing abilities from their mommy!
