Level 1000

I've been playing Candy Crush when I get a chance for the last few years. Today, I reached level 1000!!! I got within 15 levels to the end right before Olivia was born, then didn't play for a while, now I'm a long way from the end. I'll never get there because they add new levels every couple of weeks.

Annual DeLyla Birthday picture

I love that Raeann has taken a picture of these 3 every year at DeLyla's birthday party. She is 6 now!

Double Stroller

Ethan got tired of walking while we were at Lowe's today, so I asked him if he wanted to ride in Olivia's stroller. I figured he would say no, but he was all for it. :)

6 Months Old!!

I asked Matthew to help me get her to smile, he got more than a smile, he got her belly laughing. And she is definitely bigger than the pig now. 

Still scooting

I laid her in the boppy and within minutes, she was behind it!

Pinterest Outfit

I saw this little outfit on Pinterest several years ago and thought it was adorable! I hunted down the exact fabric so I could make one for Olivia. The pattern only came in 6-12 mths, so it's too big for her now, but I hope it will work in the spring. :)

Yoshi must have Nine Lives!!

Ethan wanted to ride his bike on the road today, so I threw Olivia in the stroller and we took off toward the main road. Yoshi decided to come along and ended up running ahead of us. He was close to the main road when I saw a car coming. I yelled for him to come back, but of course, he took off in the opposite direction right in front of the car! The car ran over him and I just knew that when I got to him, I would find him dead but he was still breathing. I put him in the basket of the stroller and called Jeremy on the way back to the house. Jeremy got home as fast as he could and took Yoshi to the vet. He was beat up really bad (two black eyes, road rash, and a broken tail) but should make a full recovery!

Punk & Andrew

My dad and Tamara stopped in for a few hours today on their way home from Knoxville. I love this picture of him and Andrew!

Chuck E. Cheese

Ethan has been asking me to take him to Chuck E. Cheese for the last few weeks. We finally had a chance to get there today. He had so much fun!! He hoarded his tokens unlike Andrew & Matthew who blew through theirs pretty quick!

Wilson County Fair

We went down to the Wilson County Fair today (best fair in the world!) Ethan wasn't so sure about this ride and was very hesitant to get on it. He ended up loving it!! I hope he will be willing to ride some rides when we go to Disney in October.

CHS Sport Pep Rally

CHS had a pep rally today to announce the members of the fall sport teams. Caleb looks so grown up!!!

Middle School Open House

Tonight was Andrew & Matthew's Open House at school. I guess Andrew thinks that if he stuffs Olivia in a locker now, that it won't happen to her later in life. <shaking my head>

$25 Dog Toy

Everyone has raved about this chew toy for the last several years, so I decided to get one for Olivia, even though it cost $25!! She seems to like it, but I think I could have found something similar on the dog aisle for a lot less. LOL!

Chick-fil-a Spirit Night

Chick-fil-a does a "spirit night" for East Montgomery once a month. They give a portion of their sales to the school. I normally wouldn't go to such a crowded event alone with 4 kids, but Ethan begged and begged, so we went! lol

Cloth Diapers

Olivia outgrew her newborn cloth diapers a while ago and I just now got around to ordering bigger ones. They came in today!

Fat Jeremy

I got this picture from Jeremy today. He put on this fat suit and chased the kids around, he also sent a video... very funny!

Hanging with Grandma

My mom is here to help me with the kids and to keep me company while Jeremy and Caleb are gone. It's been nice to not have to juggle the 4 of them on my own.

Another Mission Trip Picture

Jeremy sent this picture today. I have no idea what they are doing... it looks like free time because they aren't wearing matching shirts, lol.

Class of 2028

Today was Ethan's first full day at school. I made him this shirt to wear every year until he graduates so we can watch him grow into it over the next 13 years!

Mission Team

Jeremy sent me this picture of the Haiti Mission team today. Don't you love their shirts?? You'll never guess who made them. ;)

First Day of School

It's the first day of school for these 3 handsome dudes. Andrew and Matthew are now in 7th grade and Ethan is in kindergarten. :(

Fountain Hair!

I've never been a fan of putting a baby's hair up on top of their head like a fountain. Today, I did it just to get her hair out of her face and it actually looks pretty cute! lol. I don't know that I'll take her out in public like this, but I love seeing her beautiful little face.

Haiti Mission Trip

Jeremy and Caleb were headed down to Haiti for a mission trip today. Once they got close they were rerouted to the Dominican Republic where they sat on the plane for 4 hours before being sent back to Miami to wait for another flight to Haiti. Satan has his ways of getting in the way of God's work!

Where ya going little lady??

Ethan and I were playing a game in his playroom and I left Olivia on her little playmat beside us. Next thing I know, she is headed under the stool. lol

The girls!

I hate to have my picture taken, but when Ethan asked if he could take our picture, I told him he could. I know I will want to have some pictures of us together down the road, so I need to suck it up and smile even if my hair is in a ponytail and I don't have makeup on!

Freezer Meal Chefs

A lady in our LIFE group has been dealing with some health issues lately, so we decided to help her out by making some freezer meals for their family. Maria, Karen, Heather and I whipped up about 12 meals for them in 4 hours. :)

Warren's Baptism

Warren is here visiting for a few days. He had told us last summer than he was saved when he was younger but was never baptized. Jeremy worked it out with Bro Michael and baptized him at church tonight. Praise Jesus!

First time in the highchair

We got the highchair out and put it at the table so Olivia could sit in it while we eat dinner. She just has toys for now, but it won't be long before we put food on the tray.

Hanging Out in the Hammock

Just what every teenage boy needs... a hammock in their room! Caleb has a little niche in his room that is a perfect place for his hammock. He's a pretty happy guy.

Playing in the Crib

I put Olivia in her crib today while I put her clothes away and Ethan climbed in to join her. Aren't they sweet!

Olivia's Crib

I finally got the crib painted and put up in Olivia's room with the bedding that Janet made. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!! Now to get my little girl furniture from my mom so I can paint it and finish her room. :)
