First Day of School

I can not believe that she is in Kindergarten! I don't where the time goes. She had a great first week and loves school! She is even riding the bus, which really surprises me. I asked her to let me take her and she insists on riding! I am sure that will change in time. I hope this week goes as well as the last!

She is an artist!

Here is grace's art! Her whole family!

We have been busy!

I am so behind in blogging!! We have been soooo busy! I am just enjoying spending time with all of my kids!!! I love the summers, it is so nice to have all of them together! We have been to little league baseball games, swimming, to the water park, to Lake Ft Smith, Eastgate, Basketball camp and the list goes on! Father's Day weekend went to the river and rode the jet ski! This last week we have been helping my mom get her rental home ready to sell. We have been painting and cleaning and painting and painting some more! The kids have done so well! They have all helped!! Some people might say how boring and why would you do that with the time you have the boys well...just let me say we all have so much fun! We have had a picnic in the house we have sang and danced to the ipod and have made memories that are special! It has been fun having all of them in the home that I grew up in. Daxton laughed when I showed him the pond he fell into when he was little, that was also the first home he spent the night home from the hospital in. When we came home that day the carbon dioxide alarm kept going off so we stayed with mom! We spent many of days there when he was just a babe! It is funny to think back to! They all ask where was your room and where did Bart and Drew sleep. My brother and his wife have also been helping, Sam is about to pop she is due Aug 4th so we have been making her sit with whatever she does! Bart and I have laughed when we think about growing up there. I keep waiting to step on a micro machine or get hit in the leg with a ninja turtle flying pizza!
Anyway we have had a great time. The fireworks went off early on the 4th so we missed them, but we did have July 5th fireworks in the cul de sac with the neighbors! Happy Summer Everyone!!!

Here are a few pics.... The first set is from B-Ball camp and the next is from the river on Father's Day!

Spring Break Fun

I have been blessed to spend this spring break with my sweet boys! We have been having so much fun! Here are a few pictures from our week so far.

Happy Easter!

I was able to spend a few days with one of my best friends!! She is truly a blessing in my life! I love you Wendy!!!!! She dropped everything and rescued me from New Jersey!!God is so good and he has blessed me with amazing friends!! I was also able to meet her sweet little Londyn for the first time!!! Of course Grace had a wonderful time with her future hubby and bro in law!!! Is there really anything wrong with pre-arranged marriages!!! hahahha It is amazing that it has been about 9 months since they saw each other last and it was like they were never apart! Grace and Holden still have a love/hate relationship! It is so funny! They have been that way since he was born!!! Here are a few pics of her and Cayden and there bunny suckers!!!

so sleepy!

I am so tired but just wanted to let everyone know that I am in the STATES!!!!! I went on a wild ride on a C17 and think other than the maintenence issues it is a great way to fly with children.
Also God is so good! I have amazing friends. Friends who drop everything to come get me!! I love you so much!!!! thank you! I am so sleepy I am going to catch some zzz'z watch out target here I come :)

Pictures from a couple weeks ago

I meant to put some of these up a while back but I have been running around with a chicken with my head cut off. I am proud to say that I am finally finished with all the cheer pictures and they will be uploaded this morning! Yeah Huge relief! It is beginning to have a little spring in the air. I mean a tiny tiny little bit. But I noticed that the buds are starting to pop up on trees. And yesterday the air just kinda felt like spring! In a 38' sorta way! I have obviously adapted to this weather when I can say it was warm at 38'! Anyhow things are good here! And I am going to request all your thought and prayers, because if things work out and they are looking that way I am going to get to go home for a couple of weeks in April and spend spring break with my boys!!!!!YEah!! I am so hopeful!!! It will be a total surprise for them!!! Anyhow these are some pics from a couple weeks ago. We took Gracie bowling and then had to go to Trier to visit one of Dean's guys in the hospital! It was a really nice day! I am still amazed when I go there. It is just as beautiful as the first time I saw it! At one point we walking in the square eating eis cream ( which is fabulous!!!!) and there was a gut playing a violin. It was like I was in a movie. Really cool! Then I shared that thought with dean and he began to sing obnoxiosly!!!!! The moment was gone! But it was cool while it lasted!!Well I have to go get the madam ready for school!! Enjoy the pics!

Doesn't need much explanation!

Life is great until you don't get your way!!!

A little excerpt brought to you by the Casey and grace company :)

I have been a little sparse in the blogging dept lately, but miss priss has not been well. and when she is not happy no one is happy!! We have tried several diffrent meds both prescription and over the counter and with multiple trips to the doctor, I think my girl might have asthma. :( I am not happy about this but since they finally starting treating her with the asthma meds she is improving greatly. So with all that behind us maybe we can get things back to normal! Here is miss thing with her new contraption! She is really good about doing it. Which makes things so much easier!
