Because....

four swimsuits are better than one!!!!

Happy Birthday Lauren!!!

I can't believe she's three!!!

















Instead of a party, we had a day at the salon!!







She wore her sleeping beauty gown of course!








Makeup, nails, and hair----she loved every minute of it.

The 2nd Mile Series

Just wanted to encourage you to download the 2nd Mile series from www.firstwest.cc
Its free if you download it to Itunes. Awesome series. God has been preparing me for this one for awhile. See how He speaks to you too!!

Our Little Diva!

Lauren's latest "trend" is to dress up in anything she can find. Sometimes it is cute!






Notice that the head band is actually a swimsuit top.


Sometimes, I get tired of her unloading her dresser drawers everytime I look in her room!







I had to hide that dress when she took it off so it wouldn't end up with stains all over;)

Winter Weather--Blah!!

Yes, I know that I can't complain that much since we are not as cold as some places in the US but seriously.....! I love winter weather that includes snow, fireplaces, hot cocoa and the like but it is much different here in the south. Warmish one day with the south wind blowing then biting cold the next day with a 10-15mph north wind. I am officially tired of the kind of winter weather we get here! Tired of staying in our pj's all day, watching movies, playing the wii. I want to be outside in the warm sun-mowing the grass or something!!!! or just maybe a beach in Mexico:)

Fun Weekend for Everyone

The two older boys went on a hunting trip with their Daddy this weekend.









Yep,that's my 10yr old with the shotgun.











Ethan looks pretty comfortable sitting there.









They loved going on a "big hunt" with Dad. Aaron didn't feel left out at all. He and I went out to eat, snuggled, rode the four wheeler and washed the car. And....Lauren had a girl nite with grandma.

Crazy Weather Here!

Our weather has been a little crazy. We have had super warm days with lots of sunshine. We have had cold, rainy days that last for days. We have had warm, rainy days and it has just been messy here for a few weeks. On Saturday, it was a beautiful warm day. When I looked outside the sun was shining and it was raining so this is what we found in our backyard.
