What's Been Going On?

When did my baby boy get so big?





Today we completed school, had lunch then we went to Sears to get Caden a purple shirt for Easter. It's what he requested which is funny considering it's been a year since he even ate anything pink or had a thing to do with "girlish" colors.

The girls really liked these dresses and they had a 7 and a 5 so we went with it. Can't wait to get a picture of my babies all dressed up.

The kids had fun dying eggs on Saturday night. I have better pictures but I haven't really felt like photo editing so they aren't edited yet. Really I haven't even been on my computer much since I got my new iPad 2.



I wanna go to Oklahoma so bad but I have to figure things out and stay here. I have been so moody and having a lot of anxiety since I got back this last trip. I think it's to be expected. Please keep me and my family in your prayers especially Shelly, Brandy, Amanda, Stephanie and Lawrence our significant others (especially Stephanie and WA as they are apart at this time) and the little ones.

After going to sears I was going to take my kiddios to the neighborhood pool that opened April 1st. Even though I have gotten asked everyday I hadn't packed up and headed there yet. Well today wasn't meant to happen either I guess - our card key didn't work and the office was closed today. So I let them play out in the backyard in the pool.

I think I will take them tomorrow. It maybe even warm enough for me to swim - its been so hot and humid here already!





Right now the girls are actually working on their flower garden. We bought some mixed wildflower seed. The girls have by themselves so far weeded the garden they are working right now on tilling up the ground with small little kid size garden tools.



Boy how I love these kids, they all mean the world to me,



My brother Lawrence is pitching in a game today against OU boy how I wish I was there! I sent my support but still wish I could of gone! His last game to pitch college ball is this weekend! Man I hate that I am so far away right now!

Here is a picture of Lawrence and Elijah out on the field earlier this month.



Look at these 3 cuties! This is a photo Nancy, Brandy's mother in law took yesterday! Too cute! Love them and missed them all so much!

I am putting together an egg hunt for the kids at church Sunday morning so I don't even think I will do one here at home. I bought 200 eggs and lots of safe candy (a lot of it chocolate which will make my kids so happy safe chocolate candy can be hard to come by). I still need to run to the store for a few small toys for "prize" eggs and bags for the kids to put their eggs in. I am going to talk with who is doing children's church sunday because I was thinking about getting stuff to decorate their bags if she thinks there will be time. How fun I can't wait.

Well I think that is all for now. Good afternoon my friends!

Missing Him

When the kids and I made our trip to Oklahoma the beginning of march I was booked solid for 10 days seeing everyone we love! Looking back it's weird because I felt this need to get pictures of everyone we spent time with. I am so thankful because I got a great picture of my kids with their Papa Larry I wouldn't of normally taken up at the shop.
I was also talking with Caylea this morning and she made the comment that even if Papa had only died 2 minutes ago she would still be missing him right now! I realized how true that was because we wouldn't of made the trip on the 30th of march had it not been going bad. So I wouldn't of been up to Oklahoma yet however my heart is sad missing him now!

Anthony is out of town and I just had to get the kids out of the house today so we are at the boardwalk fixing to watch Born To Be Wild! Caylea is so excited!

I wrote this on my phone in the movie theater waiting for the movie to start so please excuse any errors I will check it at home :)
