Some pictures from this summer!!! (lots of pics)

At the beginning of the summer we were lucky enough to go home for a week before we made the move to Texas. We all had soo much fun. Here are few pictures from our trip.


Mason, Ty, Grandma, PaPa, and Carter.

Logan and McKenna..

Mason and Ty. These 2 are the best of buds!!!!
Evil Kenevil!!!! We couldn't stop laughing at poor Ty cruising around on this dirt bike!!! Oh how I love that kid!!!

Carter and his cousin Makissa!!!


These next pictures are from our trip to the zoo for Fathers day!! It was the kids first time to go to a zoo. McKenna loved the Zebras, Ty loved the sea lion, and Carter loved the Lions!!!

This sea lion was hilarious. It kept coming up to the window and would just stare and McKenna. It looked like the 2 were having a conversation!!!!!

Carter at the pool...

Time flies when your having fun!!!

Well it's been awhile again!!!!! It would take to long to back track so I won't!!! Life is going pretty good here in Texas. Yet, we are still trying to get used to this HEAT!!!!!! Thank goodness for AC. I never thought I would be greatfull for 95 degree weather (it's alot nicer than 105)!! Luckily where we live it has a pool. Ty and McKenna will be starting school this month and I have mixed emotions!! I'm really excited that they will finally have something to do, since all I've heard all summer is "there's nothing to do". But I will miss not having them home. Ty will be in 2nd grade, and McKenna in Kindergarten. Sooo that leaves me and Carter home alone!!!!! Once again mixed emotions. It will be nice to be able to go to Wal Mart and actually get a cart full of food and not have 3 kids fighting the whole time. Usually I get about a 1/4 of my list done and by then my patience is shot, so we just pay for what was lucky enough to make it in our basket and leave!!!!! And lets just say if I got a quarter for everytime I said "just wait till we get to the car" I would be pretty rich right about now!!!!!! So, now hopefully me and Carter can get a complete list in the cart in 1 trip!!!! James is loving his new job, and I am loving being a stay at home mom!!! I'll post more pics soon. I've been taking alot, but I just haven't had the time to put them on the computer.....until next time!

Spring Break!!

This year for Spring Break we were able to go home and visit family. We had all sorts of fun. We went to the park twice, went swimming, and played MANY games. We always love going home. James and Ty at the gym. We got together with James's family and played some basketball.

Like Father, Like son!!!

Ok.. So Carter is around McKenna all day long and he LOVES to put on dress and play with her!!! Here are all the kids playing in the crib.

Annette, James, and Anne

So this last week James's sisters Anne and Annette along with Cory (Anne's husband) Makissa (Anne's daughter) and Nevaeh (Annette's daughter) came up to Junction to come see us. The first day us girls went to the mall and went shopping for maternity clothes (NO, not for me). James's sister Anne is pregnant and due in July. Then Saturday the boys got up early and went Ice fishing. Ty had a Great time. James forgot to take the camera so I don't have any pictures of it.....Then later on that evening we all headed over to Chucke Cheese's to play games.

Cookie decorating!!!!

This first picture is for my sister... This was last year when we took the kids trick or treating. That's James as Nacho Libre with Amy (sis in law) and Brian.

Carter would decorate a cookie just to hurry up and eat it then!!!

Our masterpieces!!! They sure wer e YUMMY!!

Pictures from McKenna's 4th Birthday Party!!

Sorry these are late, but I just found these on my dads computer today. McKenna turned 4 in December...
Where has the time gone??? I can't believe that McKenna is 4 years old (going on 16). It seems like just yesterday she was my little baby. Now she is quite the big girl, and by that I mean "all girl". She is what my sister likes to say "Little Miss Sassy Frassy"


McKenna 3 days old!!

She absolutely loves her new guitar. She plays that dang thing all the time!! We are a little tired of the song "Girls just wanna have fun" That's one of the songs it plays and sings!!
