Pig Tails & More

The girls are constantly asked if they are twins. Today, they decided to dress exactly alike. They were so cute holding hands and skipping through the gym. I'm not a pro pig tailer, but they didn't care.

Joshua had his last end-of-year pre-school party today. He came home with lots of treasures. His last day is Thursday. He'll have a beach party if the weather cooperates.

Tonight, we'll head out to our weekly Chick-Fil-A Family night and Amanda will have her final softball practice.

Our dishwasher decided it's tired and would like some tender loving care. So far, Michael's been unable to rectify it. Looks like we may be getting a new one. Bummer, hugh. Mmm, what color should I get. Currently we have a white fridge, black oven, and almond dishwasher with almond counter tops. We'll see...

We've been made aware of a couple of kids this week who've died. Just cherish the moments with those babies. Remember, they're only on loan to you.

Mother's Day!

We had a great day out at Nina & Papaws. We had Papaw's Johnny Cakes and biscuits along with burrito wraps. Yum! Yum! We enjoyed being outside in the beautiful weather. Nina & Papaws neighbors have a horse that the kids enjoyed petting.








When Joshua gets tired, all he wants is his "bebe". Someday he'll give it up or I'll take it away!











Lawson (LaVeda's middle son) 3 yrs. old









Joshua is so proud of his nursery rhyme book from Circle of Friends. I think this was the third time we went through it today! He sounds so cute reciting them all.

Ft. Worth Water Gardens

Today we didn't really have anything planned. I went and took a core class at the gym and hung out awhile by the poolside for some "just me time to chill out". Then we headed to Pizza Garden for lunch. (Michael and I scrapped pizza tops!) Joshua can really pack those alfredo pizzas away. I think he ate 6. HELLO, I think we're in trouble. After finishing lunch, we headed to downtown for our Water Garden's excursion. The kids had so much fun and we do too.

Joshua couldn't wait to scoop water in his crocs and try to splash everyone.

Amanda and Joshua thought it would be fun to drench themselves. Oh to be a kid again!






I love you Baby! You're the Best. You take me as I am.

We Have a Graduate in the house!

Our Little Joshua has offically graduated Pre-School at Circle of Friends. I can't believe my last litte baby is headed for Kindergarten in the fall. I've started reading lessons with him this week and hope by mid-summer he'll be reading like a pro. We're so proud of our son. He has such an imagination.

Adventure World

Mommy with each one of her little blessings from God. I love them so much

April 25th, we went to a park called Adventure World. It's only about 5 min. from the house. Our neices and nephew and the kids grandparents were all there. We had so much fun. There's a little nature trail we thought we'd check out and see how many critters we could find, but we weren't gone 10 min. and it started sprinkling on us so we headed back and upon our return, of course, the rain had stopped. Probably for the best as I was taking this adventure alone with six kiddos.

My sweet little Paigers. Oh how she was so enjoying her bicycle riding!

School's Officially Out!

Well, last Friday was our last day to finish our core studies. We are so excited and ready for a break. I'm not sure who's more ready, me or the kids. We'll still do some math, spelling, and general reading a few time a week, but for the bulk we're done. YEAH! We plan on spending time at the gym pool, park days before it's too hot, camping possibly at Turner Falls in Davis, OK, and a Fredericksburg/San Antonio Fiesta Texas trip in June. CAN'T WAIT. Today, we went to the gym and a couple of parks. We're off to the gym again so I can take a step class and then off to the softball fields. Gotta tone up these legs....

Softball 2008

The girls are both playing softball. This is their second year and they are both doing quite well. I believe Lexi is wanting to tryout soccer again in the fall. It's been several years since she's played so I guess it's time to check it out again. I keep telling her she could get a great scholarship for college if she can figure out what she likes best and really work at it. Joshua doesn't care to sit and watch the games too much. He'd rather wander around and eat popcorn! He says he wants to play soccer in the fall too. He played a year ago and it proved to be unsuccessful. He's a bit older now though so maybe he'll actually show some interest and run after the ball.
