Updates

The kids have had some fun these past couple of weeks with their cousins and friends and mainly their Dad!  Ryan took the girls along with some others to the Freestone Park and they got to ride the train, feed the ducks, and play on the playground.  They love that park and I must say that it is absolutely beautiful this time of the year.  It seems to be the "place" to have your photo taken because of all the scenery.  Jag is now constantly telling me how he wants to go to the park and ride the "choo-choo!"  I am so blessed to have my nieces and nephews live so close to us.  Our children are always entertained by them and we have a lot of fun memories together.  I have a built in babysitter with Hailey and I don't know what I do without her.  Some cute things that my kids are doing right now are...  Jag is always entertaining his favorite saying is, "Mom I mell cow."  He smells cow, he also likes to do pig noises and scare you with bear growls.  He will talk your head off and you can barely get a word in edge wise.  His favorite thing to do as of now is ride his bike.  He will no longer ride in the buggy he insists on riding his bike on our rides and now they are MUCH slower.  Blakely is a baby mother.  I cannot turn my back or next thing I know she is carrying Greer everywhere.  She loves to feed her, hold her, bathe her, play with her you name it she will do it.  She still changes clothes about 7 times a day and always insists on having her hair done.  I often wonder whose child she is?!  Navie has turned into her Dad she only wants her friends.  She gets home from school and we see her for a total of about 3 minutes before she is out the door and on her way to her friends.  They will play all day everyday and we have to demand that she finally comes home at some point in the evening.  She loves school and enjoys being gone all day and constantly entertained.  Greer has turned into a sweet child and has become much more content.  She is always smiling and cooing.  I am in love with her and so excited that I get to spend time with my sweet baby.  It is hard to know that you are done having kids and so I am trying to treasure every moment of her.  I adore my family and couldn't be more blessed!

Spring Break

It was hard to leave this year for Spring Break because the weather here was just beautiful but we decided to go and take advantage of our annual passes to Disneyland before they expired.  We took off on Wednesday afternoon and spent the next two days between Disneyland and California Adventures.  The kids had a great time (even though Blake and Navie were still getting over an illness) they loved every bit.  I have always been a kid at heart and I enjoy Disney anything as much as the next five year old.  The weather was amazing even though at night the children thought they were going to die of frostbite!  The kids still begged to go swimming one afternoon and luckily the pool was heated.  I am so grateful that we have the opportunity to do things as a family while the kids are young and create priceless memories.  

Birthday Shout-Out

I am super late in posting this birthday but late is better than never.  Another very special man in my life is my Papaw!  He has always been such a wonderful example to me and someone that I cherish every moment with.  We were raised practically next door to them and what a great blessing that was.  I am so sad that I don't live that close to them now.  Thank you Papaw for being so amazing and we wish you a Happy Birthday and a great year to go along with it!  Love you for always and ever!

Happy Birthday!

To the best dad and Poppa ever!  We just wanted to wish you a very public Happy Birthday and express our appreciation for all you do for us.  This family would fall apart without you!  We love you dearly and are excited to see you!!!  Thanks for always being the example of the person I would like to become you are wonderful.

Lucky Ducks!

My mom and I took the kids to Freestone Park today to feed the ducks.  Once Jag found out what we were doing he could not stop talking about it.  "Feed tha Ducks!"  The ride could not have gone faster!!!  We seriously had a swarm of ducks around us.  Once they realized that it was feeding time they started at us from across the pond.  The kids loved it.  Nonna was such a good sport at teaching the children which were the girl ducks and boys, how to ration the bread, and pushing them on the swings.  It was a great day overall and not to mention the weather was amazing!  Mid 60's a little overcast and a small breeze.  Gorgeous!
