Almost Christmas

Just wanted to share a few new pictures of the kids. We spent most of October and November in the doctor's office...I think we saw our pediatrician 9 or 10 times over the course of 10 weeks!!! WOW...from the stomach bug, virus after virus, and strep throat...I pray we are through that season of "building up our immune systems".

On to more important things....

Carley at her first piano recital...She played "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" perfectly. :-)

We are so proud of how well she is playing...she is quite the musician.

Carley & Jack at the Church Christmas Play... Jack really didn't want to take a picture. Can you tell? :-)

New Pics!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE! This is true love. They really love each other. Yes, they can tattle on each other, but boy do they love their baby brother and he loves them. Cash will crawl over if Jack is on the floor and tackle him...literally. It's pretty cute. And Jack loves it! Carley loves on him every chance she gets. :-)

Cash at about 8 months. He is SO sweet.

A Few Months Later

Okay...so it's been a while since I posted. I really do have good intentions, but this is last on my "to do list". BUT, I wanted to add some recent pictures of our most recent happenings. Love you all.

Family in July:

LOOK What I can do! Time to "baby-proof"!




They grow up too fast.

3 months later...

I'm finally sitting down to post again. Sorry it's been so long. I will attempt to do this weekly. No promises. I'm doing everything I can right now to keep up with the family. :-) Here are some recent pics of the kiddos. Love you all.

The kiddos all fit in our new ride! A new Jeep! They love it. Carley likes to listen to Taylor Swift (Picture to Burn) and Jack likes Alvin and the Chipmunk's (Witch Doctor). We listen to those two songs almost every time we're in the jeep together. :-)

This is one of the reasons Steve is ready to move back to Texas. :-) Nothing like spending time in the "tornado" closet. Jack thinks it's kindof fun though. Carley isn't too sure about it...and Cash just hangs out and smiles.

Cash is 6 months old now! He is such a sweet, happy baby! He loves his brother and sister!

Daddy's 34th Birthday!

Time Goes By

Okay, we've been meaning to update our blog, but it hasn't happened. I can't ever seem to sit down long enough to get pictures added and even though I have many other things that need my attention right now (laundry, dishes, post-party clean-up, 3 kids -- Cash is sleeping, and Carley and Jack are watching TV), I am going to try and add a few of our favorite pictures. Carley is doing great in school. She is playing soccer this spring and is doing awesome. She is quite the athlete. She is so thoughtful and growing up way too fast. She just celebrated her 7th Birthday! Jack is lots of fun. He spends most of his time playing with his trains and working on his ABCs...which he knows them all and is trying to spell out words now. I have been very impressed with him. AND we are officially potty-trained! :-) Yeah! We are so proud of him. Cash is growing too fast. He is the sweetest baby. He pretty much just goes with the flow. He's a pretty laid back kid. Carley and Jack love on him every chance they can get. He's really starting to talk more these days and his smile is so sweet.


Steve is staying very busy with his job at Samson. He spends part of his time in Texas and when he's here, he is running from work to different events for the kids. He really is the most amazing dad. I am spending my days just trying to keep up with these three. I love staying home. It's definitely more work, but much more rewarding. And I'm even trying to learn to cook -- we'll see how that goes. You can ask Steve later. :-)

We love our church and our friends here are so supportive. We are so thankful for all that we have been blessed with. Well, enough typing, here are the pictures!
























My sweet boys! Jack is so in love with his brother, Cash. I love watching them interact. Jack has been such a sweetie. I could just eat them up!













WOW! :-)

Christmas...WOW!!!

Christmas was great. Of course having Cash so close to Christmas was a great gift for the entire family. Here is a taste of what the last few days have been like around here....

Hope Santa is hungry. We left him peanutbutter and jelly sandwich, rice crispy treats, cookies and both chocolate and white milk.


Carley and Jack sprinkled magic reindeer food for Santa's reindeer around the Grinch.

Jack got some new animal toys, so Daddy decided to teach me what a moose is.

The kids hit the jackpot this year. Look at all those presents.

Santa even left a little something for Zeke and Dazy.



Just think...13 more years and Jack will be driving.

***below are two video clips of the gator delivery***






"the horn"

THE FIRST GATOR RIDE...THIS WAS A MAJOR HIT!!!!

Christmas is coming

Daddy isn't much of a builder, but he tried really hard. Jack was eating the house faster than it could be built.

Here I am in my bed for the first time. It is really cool, but there is no way I'm sleeping here when I can sleep with Mommy!

My treefrog pose. I really love my Mommy...and I think she might like me too!

Cheap labor. Carley is the best big sister. She is always around to help take care of me. And that Jack guy makes really funny faces.

I heard my Mommy say something about Daddy and multi-tasking. Is this what she means?

HELP!!!!! They won't feed me. And my arms really don't taste that good.

Can someone get me some sunglasses? We went out looking at Christmas lights. Most were really cool, but this is ridiculous. The Griswolds don't have anything on this place.
