Becca's Spring Dance Recital

Becca had her recital a couple of weeks ago. She was so excited to dance on the "big stage as long as we sat close so she could see us". She did really good, and we are so proud of her. I can't believe how big she is getting.

She is the 2nd from the left

School Break

I have survived this semester, along with my family. I have about a 3 week break and I'm so excited so hopefully I will do something fun so I can have something to post!! For now it is going to have to be about all the things I need to get done around the house that have been put on the back burner.

Colby started T-ball again, and as soon as I get my head screwed back on straight and remember the dang camera I will post some pictures. He is doing SO good, it's amazing what the difference of a year makes!

Becca has her dance recital tomorrow so (if I remember the camera) I will post some pictures of that too. He is doing great and LOVES dance!

Macie is a little ball of fire. She is talking in sentences, and won't keep her diaper on!! I'm guessing she might be ready to try the potty, but we just took the bottle away 2 days ago, so 1 thing at a time. She is growing to fast as it is.

Chris is just working hard and really excited to be starting his new work schedule next week. They are going to 10 hr days so he will be off on Friday's now too. Which makes me excited too.

That's all for now, but check back soon and I might surprise you with an update :)

Easter

This year we stayed home for Easter because Chris was on call. We went to dinner at his parents and had a nice relaxing day.

Such a BEAUTIFUL Day

Today was the last day of Spring Break, and such a nice one at that. We went for a ride in the rhino with some friends. It was SO pretty where we went to. The wild flowers were everywhere. The kids had a blast. It was nice to relax a little after a crazy week.

Cactus and Wild Flowers

I love that they were in the middle of the road too!!

They were wore out....and look at the sweetest big bro ever letting his sister lay on his lap!!

Out of touch

Well I started school a couple weeks ago and have been out of touch with life since then. Why didn't I pay more attention when I went to college the first time?? I'm taking math and anatomy and they are kicking my butt. I spend pretty much all of my time doing homework. Hopefully I will get the hang of it soon and figure out how to balance family, work, housework, and school. My hubby has been a great help with the kids and housework, he really is the BEST!! Well hopefully I will be able to post soon, or else it will probably be spring break!!

"Snow" Much Fun

On Saturday we headed up the mountain to play in the snow. It was pretty chilly, but we had a good time. The kids sledded, built a tiny snowman, and had a snowball fight. I love that we live so close to the mountain that we can go play for a couple hours and not have to drive all day to do it.

Colby is getting ready to drop kick frosty's head!! Yes that's Becca sitting in the truck with the heater on. That was where she hung out--she is such a girl :)

Chris sledding with the kiddo's

She just crawled around in it because it was to slippery for her to walk.

Turkey Makes Me Sick

So I just got a call from the school nurse telling me that Colby threw up on the playground. She said that he told her he threw up because he "doesn't like turkey!" LOL Today was the Thanksgiving dinner at his school and I went and joined him. I made him take 3 bites of turkey along with dressing, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. He was just fine when I left. She said that he wasn't running a fever so she gave him a tums and he said that he was all better and wanted to go play now! Little turkey will do anything not to have to eat new foods!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Welcome Baby Corey

I want to congratulate my brother Cleve and his wife Misty on the newest addition to their family. She was born on Sat Nov 21st. She looks just like her daddy!!

Attention All, I actually Updated!!!

LOL, I'm pretty shocked myself. I've updated this and facebook. I'm on a roll today. I've cleaned house, finished my book (Tempted, which was really good by the way) and did all the updating. What am I going to do now?? I would like to say THANK GOD FOOTBALL IS OVER. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but I am so ready to have our Saturday's back. They had their last game on Saturday against Wilcox. It was a close game, but we pulled thru and won. That put us in 1st place for flag, our season was 6 wins and 2 losses. Colby really enjoyed playing and can't wait until next yr.

I believe we have a little break before our next adventure which will be welcoming baby Corey who is expected in just a few more weeks. I can't wait for Cleve to be a dad. ;) Then the craziness of the holidays will be here. ;)

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year. We took the kids to the Annual Halloween Carnival at the Solomon School on Friday. As always they had a blast! On sat we headed out for trick or treating, or as we like to call it....driving all over graham county. We just drive around to grandparents and call it good. Sad but true, our kids have never actually "trick or treated". We started on our way to Pima about dark. We got to my mom's and as we get out of the truck, the kids are walking up the sidewalk and finally notice my mom and jay sitting on the porch swing dressed up like a witch and monster. She is so awesome. She had dry ice all around, and all kinds of spiders set around. The kids did a quick pause and re-assessed the area and realized who they were. Glad Becca didn't get scared. Then we headed to Chris's parents and were going to actually let them go to the houses down the street, but nobody even had their lights on. What has happened to kids trick or treating?? I've never been to a trunk or treat, but it just can't be the same as going from door to door. ????????? Oh well, the kids still got way to much candy, and now Chris and I have to eat it!!!!
