Nanny and PawPaw R's Christmas card pics!

I just ran across these and realized I never posted them! How cute is this bunch of Razorback cheerleaders and football players?!?!

Will and Treyson are in the back, with Anniston and Kinley in the front. The boys are at such a great age where they're now playing together. Of course, the girls have been playing together very well for a few years now.


....and Will and Kinley are going to be big brother/big sister this summer when sweet baby Boke comes out to play in July! We can't wait for another niece/nephew!!

Videos from riding bikes!

Roller Skating Fun!

All of these pics were taken with Dadoo's iPhone...I was so upset that I left our real camera at home to capture our first roller skating experience....BOO! However, I am so thankful for Dadoo's fancy phone! We were at a skating rink to celebrate the birthday of a super precious girl, Natalie. She is turning 8 years old!! Her Momma and I work together, and they have always been so sweet to include us in all of her kids' birthday parties.

Mommy and Treyson were WORN OUT from all of our skating!

Treyson with the "fast" skates on (the real ones)

When Treyson wore the "preschool" skates, this was how he "skated"! HA!

When he got tired, this was how he lapped the skating rink....rough life, eh?!

Why we LOVE Saturdays in the winter!

Saturday mornings in the winter and spring as so wonderful (especially for Mommy). This is what I usually wake up to! Dadoo busy cooking something for breakfast (pancakes, French toast, waffles, eggs, etc).....
and the kids snuggled watching cartoons. I LOVE this time of year!

2012 Cotton Bowl Arkansas vs. Kansas State

Jerry took Treyson to the 2012 Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Treyson absolutely ADORES football (pee-wee, jr. high, high school, college, professional), so Jerry knew it would be a hit taking him!

They rode down to Dallas with my parents. They made 1 stop for dinner, then made it to the hotel....not too bad for a 3 year old, huh? Here's a pic of Treyson that my mom sent me this morning. She took a pic of him at breakfast with her iPhone, then started adding crazy stuff to him. I'm sure he thought this was hilarious!

Dadoo and Treyson decided to take a dip.....in the hot tub!

Looks like they even played some football!

On their way to the stadium!

Football players must be fully hydrated with Gatorade prior to a football game. Good work T!Jersey? check! Football pants? check! Helmet? check! Football? check! Shin guards? check! LOL!
....and now's he's added his baseball batting gloves to the mix!Going deep for a pass!Maybe he'll grow up and do TV for fun just like Dadoo!
Made it into their seats! Let's go Hogs!Post game show....Treyson made his big TV debut!! Dadoo has since confessed that some Dr. Pepper (Treyson's first time to have it) is what kept him going strong throughout the game!I see some sleepy eyes! This football player is WORN OUT! He's sporting his jersey over his jammies, and tucked into his carseat with his Razorback blanket (we don't mess around, people!)This is one tuckered out Razorback football player. Sweet dreams baby boy! Hope you enjoyed your first Razorback bowl game...there will be MANY MORE to come!!

Christmas at Nanny and PawPaw's!

We spent the weekend with Nanny and PawPaw R the weekend before Christmas. Matt, Emmy, and all of the Bokermann crew were in town! Here's Nanny's tree before all of the presents were opened....Nanny always "cuts back" --ha!But first, we had to wake Uncle Matt up--that went over REAL well!
Jerry, Mark, Tracey, and Emmy--in position and ready for kids!

New baseball helmet--she was SO EXCITED!
Cinderella dress--so pretty!
new bat and ball for T-Man!



New strider bike for Treyson. This thing is so neat. There are no pedals. It is to teach balance first, then you learn to pedal. Basically the idea is you skip the training wheels. These bikes are for 2-5 year olds. We went this route because Anniston has ZERO balance and has been using her training wheels for 2 years. Treyson's been on his bike for about an hour and already has more balance than Anniston!
Dadoo dodging flying wrapping paper bombs from Uncle Matt--a family tradition!
Will and his new Razorback jersey--he sure looks good in RED!
Nanny and her new chair! This was a chair of Aunt Leah's that we had recovered for Nanny and her new fancy bedroom. I think Nanny was a little shocked--she had NO CLUE!
PawPaw sure does love those purple boxes!
Thank you Nanny and PawPaw for a fun weekend!

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving weekend was so fun this year. We headed down the hill and stayed with MaMa and PaPa. We had Thanksgiving lunch at their house, then went to Jerry's aunt and uncle's house for another meal. Jerry and I left straight from there to head to Baton Rouge for the LSU game, and the kids spent 1 night at MaMa and PaPa's, and 1 night at Nanny and PawPaw's....have to spread the grandkid love, you know!

Here are a few individual pics of the kids from the day before Thanksgiving:


Family pic:
I am NOT up for "aunt of the year" award this year. Can't tell who is who....shame on me! I can tell you one thing for sure--whether it's Caleb or Calvin....they're both ridiculously cute and so mild mannered! Love them!

Big boy!
Aunt Melissa getting some lovins!
While we oohed and aahed over the little guys, these 4 (well, 1 is MIA--Connor) played so well together!



Hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving! A huge THANK YOU to our parents for being able to babysit on such short notice so that we could go to the AR vs. LSU ballgame!
