The latest...


This post will be a bit out of chronological order since I can never seem to upload my pics right, so sorry in advance. Today we went to the park, here are my 3 children climbin around...Toot Toot as we call her loved the tire swing
See how happy she is at the top of the slide??

Then when her very helpful big brother snuck up behind her and gave her a little push without warning, the smile was quickly replaced with terror
The little goof thought it was funny, he then went down right behind her & landed on top of her at the bottom, we could feel the love.
So we got this new couch made of microfiber, apparently it causes a little static (which is so annoying!) but it is quite funny when you hold the pillows above toots head!
Kenedi got her first haircut this past week. It only looks halfway decent when it is fixed, I think I made it worse but I had to get rid of the mullet & the bangs always in her eyes. Instead of having them in her eyes, apparently I went for the dumb & dumber look...sorry honey!
Craig turned the big 30 a week ago, here are he & Chance blowing out the candle on his banana cream pie (I know, weird for a bday cake, but what the birthday boy wants the birthday boy gets ;)) I am so lucky to have Craig in my life, he is better to me than I deserve (except he was actually kind of rude to me today) & he is the best daddy I could ever want for my kids.
OK so this is the cutest story about my sweet Chance that I have to share:

About a week ago I was moving some decorations around & noticed that a picture was missing from my picture board, I couldn't remember what pic it was and soon forgot about it. The next morning I went in to make Chance's bed and this is what I saw on his night stand:
I know you probably can't tell but its a pic of his grandpa. When I picked it up to put back on the picture board he started crying and promising me he wouldn't tear or bend it if he could just please keep it in his room. Seriously, doesn't that just make you want to cry? Its times like this especially when I hate living away from family, because I know my kids miss everyone so much. And yes, those are Christmas lights you see hanging off of Chance's bed, he has them strung around his room & plugs them in every night, apparently a night light & a flash light just don't cut it!

This is pre-hair cut but you will notice, she has a total shoe fettish (and she likes to haul around the training potty) she has on different shoes, neither of which would I ever put on her with that outfit! Isn't her cheese face a crackup?
The day before the above picture, she came into the office to show me her stylin outfit...we may have to start working on her fashion sooner rather than later, notice the shoes...she will make me put her tennis shoes on even over her feet pajamas, she is always putting on shoes, which is cute but actually very annoying!!!

I just cut J's hair too. It's funny how a simple haircut changes how they look! He suddenly looks like more of a little boy and also more blonde (less red).

Chance makes me cry, and you KNOW when dad sees that he'll cry too. :) Kenedi's haircut...I'm laughing!!!

Somuch fun!!! Happy Birthday Craig. I know why he wanted banana cream pie :) Aunt Suzie will love that! At least little girls hair grows fast - so what seems short won't be for long. That's such a cute story about Chance. You guys are awesome!

You know, I think I'll put in a request for coconut cream pie for my birthday candle holder. Let them eat cake was for the French--let's be Americans!
Grandpa misses Chance. We need to play. And he needs to hold Kenedi too, short hair and all.

Trisha just saw me looking at your blog and said, "Oh, there's me!"referring to the top picture of Kenadi and Chance. And then she said, "Oh, and there's Daddy!" referring to Craig blowing out his b-day cake candle! Then she proceeds to sing "Yee, Hi, Yippee Yigh Yo! Texas, here we come!" :-)

It looks cold there! I seriously hate to rub this into you, but it is great flip flops and shorts weather here. You guys really need to move to AZ...we feel like you all are so far away.

you better be careful when you say what the birthday boy wants, the birthday boy gets...If craig reads that then you better put some exeptions at the end for your own sake. hope you all are doing good though and we will talk to you soon.
