Happy Birthday Aunt Courtney!

Aunt Courtney's birthday is on July 5th, so of course we all celebrate her birthday with a fantastic weekend on the lake, fireworks, good food, and cake!! The kids all helped Aunt Courtney blow her candles out!

.....and now they're all licking the candles! Next year, there will be 2 sweet little boys, Caleb and Calvin, to help her lick all of the icing too!!

Happy Birthday Aunt Courtney! Hope your day was great!

Fireworks!

We bought a few "kiddie" fireworks to do in our driveway while our neighbors hosted their annual 4th of July swim party and fireworks display (they spend $$ on the fancy fireworks, and we're so lucky we only have to walk out to our driveway for quite an amazing show!).

Here the kids shared a Roman Candle! Treyson watching the "big" fireworks with Dadoo.....Treyson is a little hesitant of the loud booming noises (I'm not quite sure he'll want to go hunting with his Uncle Matt and PawPaw R like they'd hoped!)

Anniston and Kit watching the show (with the umbrella up, of course so that fireworks won't fall on their heads.....duh, Mommy!)

This is how he spent alot of the fireworks show!

Love this girl so much!

Happy 4th of July to everybody!

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day from our family! Thanks to all of those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedom. We especially thank and terribly miss our PePaPa, who was in the Navy. We love you PePaPa!

Happy Memorial Day from our family

BIG visitor!

Jerry took the kids out for dinner and dessert this evening. When they got home, they yelled at me to come check out the "cute little turtle". Are you kidding me??? This beast of a turtle had a HUGE tail! Definitely not something worth packing in a box for show-n-tell!!

Anniston wanted her picture taken with him, of course!

Poor thing....he started to walk when we left and tumbled straight down the drain :(

Touch A Truck

A few weeks ago, Jerry and Nanny took the kids to Touch A Truck. Mommy showed up later on. The kids LOVED seeing all of the different types of emergency vehicles, tractors, boats, semis, motorcycles.....well, I'll just let the pictures explain! Get ready--there are alot! Somehow, I don't see Anniston ever ending up in one of these for real!

Anniston looking in the ambulance!

This is the closest our kids will ever get to riding in a Cobalt! HA!

They could always drive trucks for JB Hunt!

The tractor scooped up a really cute girl!

Cousin Meredith is in the Junior League and was cooking hot dogs. Thanks for telling us about this Mer!

Treyson in the mailtruck!

.....we support Wal-Mart!

Exiting the big yellow school bus! He thought it was so cool!

A special visit!

We had a special visit from Uncle Scott and Aunt Courtney today! They just moved back to Bartlesville from Houston a month ago. It's so nice having them be so close to us! They drove over to go to the scrimmage with us, and then we went to dinner and played for awhile. The kids were so excited to see them! Scott and Courtney told us awhile back that they were expecting twins, but we had to keep it secret for what seemed like FOREVER! Now, in 4 weeks we'll know what those two sweet babies are inside Aunt Courtney's belly! We are so anxious to get shopping :) Courtney has started a blog as well, so we will enjoy getting to watch those sweet peas kick her belly out!! Anniston played doctor with Aunt Courtney tonight and had twins herself. She pushed on her belly button so that the babies would come out! Thank you Scott and Courtney for spending the afternoon and evening with us! We know you'll sleep well tonight because of all of the skipping, playing, and football playing you all did!

Hooray for the Trampoline!

Dadoo put our trampoline back together this weekend, and the kids are LOVING it! Treyson's trying to "crack the egg" here: Treyson's working on his "tuck jump":

Anniston showing me how high she can go:

Bubby's got some "ups"!!

Thank you Dadoo for putting our tampoline back up for the spring!
