Poppy's Tractor

Saw took the first ride, Bree and Jare were scared (roll eyes)!


Then it was Jare's turn he didn't stay on long but went for a second ride after sissy took her turn. For a rough, tough little boy he is scared of the weirdest things. Loud noises, turtles...





Bree's turn. Poppy let her drive the tractor by herself forever. While on his lap of course. He said she was singing Taylor Swift Picture to Burn the whole time!

Shane and Ashely's House

The kids and I headed for Paden to see Shane and Ashley's new homestead Sunday after Sunday School. I must say my kids are wonderful travelers. Might be because we go so much!

I don't have any pictures of their house. I figure Ashley will post when they get everything finished. It was nice to visit them and have some extra room to move, breathe, sleep :). They lived in the one room apartment so long that their new house feels like a mansion!

Bree and Jare enjoyed playing outside in the dirt and Shane took then for a walk in the woods. Next time I'll pack their jeans and boots to they can go deeper into the trees.


We were not with Huck (Shane and Ash's yorkie fur baby) on his 1st birthday so Bree insisted on making him a bone birthday cake!



Jarrett came down with a virus while we were there. He barely ate and had a fever most of the time so he was pretty quite and just played.





Shane got Bree and Jare giant jaw breaker suckers. Bree always had it licking it but managed to share a little with Sawyer.




He cried when she took it back!

I am so happy for Shane and Ash as they begin a new chapter as first time Home owners! I really really wish that home was closer to me, I miss them so much, but I'm thankful I can go visit whenever I want!

Camping Day 2

We spent the day mostly relaxing. Jarrett fell asleep on papa guy mid morning. He got up way early.






They view from our campsite was beautiful.


Scott and the Grandparents took the kids on several hikes across the rocks.




My kids have never been so dirty in their lives. They spent most of their time playing in the dirt and blowing bubbles.















We went to the swim beach for a few hours. Jarrett LOVED it. He is a little fish. Bree on the other hand is more of a chicken! I didn't get any pictures. I was too busy chasing my daredevil child!

Oh, Jarrett did so good on his potty training. He didn't have very many accidents and told me when he needed to go! I was so proud of him!!

Camping Night 1

We made it. The kids played in the dirt.



We took a walk, Bree rode her bike, Jarrett ran. Ate smores, played some more. Bathed the kids got them to bed. Other than the fact that cell service is patchy here and my bed leans downhill we are good. I may end up in the floor tonight!

Off to the LAKE!

And I miss this little guy already!!



Thanks to my mom for keeping him while Scott, the bigs, and I have some fun!

Happy Father's Day

To first my daddy, the best dad I could ask for! I love you so much Dad. Thanks for first and foremost for you Godly example to me, for raising me to Love Jesus. Thanks recently for the encouragement you have given me in my efforts to get in shape and become healthier. Oh, and for the all or nothing gene that you passed on to me :). You are also a pretty special Poppy to Bree, Jare, and Saw! You just have to be in the room and they light up and go crazy! Hope you have great day!

To my hubby! You a wonderful dad to our kiddos! I love how Bree has you wrapped tight around her finger, that you wrestle nightly with Jarrett, and how you spend time holding and talking with Sawyer everyday! You are so good at letting them know they are loved and I thank you for sacrificing and being the sole provider for our family! Love you so much!

My Father-in-Law...I really couldn't ask for a better one! Thanks for loving me like I'm your own! And for being a wonderful Papa Guy to my babies!

And last but not least to My Brother! His baby boy is in the hands of THE FATHER. And while I know there is some comfort in that, I know today is a bittersweet day for him. Sweet because he is Daddy to Jaxxon, bitter because Jaxxon was only with us on Earth a short while. I love you Brother and praying for you today. Thanks for loving my babies so much!

First Family of Five Picture

I have been sifting through digital photos to find pictures for my aunt and I realized that I do not take enough pictures of myself and Scott with our kids. I really really don't like my picture taken because I am very self conscious, but I am just going to get over that because I don't want my kids to look back and wonder where Scott and I were. Here is a pic I had my mom take today of the five of us. I am a little behind Sawyer is 2 1/2 months and this is our first family picture with him in it.

Christmas #3 2009 (only a month late!)

So Ashley says I have been slacking so I am going to try and catch up! Here are a few pictures from Christmas weekend with Scott's parents. We had fun except we had to take Scott, Bree, and Jarrett all to urgent care the day after Christmas. Scott had staph infection in his nose, Bree had staph on her finger, and Jarrett ended up only having a stye on his eye. They were all minor infections and the doc put all three on antibiotic. They were all feeling better by the time we came home.

Ryan checking out Jarrett's gift! Bree and Jarrett checking out what Santa brought them to Mema and Papa's house.

And one of the highlights of the trip...all of the snow the Tulsa area got over Christmas. They didn't stay out long, it was so cold.

Jarrett was in love with his Papa! I think Papa ended up holding him alot, which is fine with me because it gave me a little break!
