My Sweet Sweet Twin Boys!

Every mom needs to relax and have a break sometimes right? I came home from work tonight to two handsome boys all dressed up and signs directing me to a comfy spot on the couch with a blanket and pillow, hot cider and a fresh baked plate of chocolate cookies. To top it all off they also cleaned the whole house! I could not ask for better kids! I love you Brendon and Caleb!!

Open Door Pregnancy Care Center Run

Susan and some friends decided to put on a 5k race and 1.25 mile fun run/walk at the beginning of November. It had never been done before so they were starting from scratch. It ended up being a huge success with well over 100 people showing up. The weather was beautiful and the course was perfect. They ended up raising over$3000! They are going to try and do it again next year.

Thanks to Mom for making the registration flyer!

Registration

Rope Swingin' in Arkansas

I think Heather had as much fun as the kids

Uncle Jason getting some much appreciated help getting across with some splashing results! Unfortunately, I was too busy saving his life to get a picture

Brendon, Caleb, Trevin, Madison, Elise and Meryn all made it safely. I bet they could give Uncle Jason some pointers!

Arkansas Lankers

We went out to visit Jason, Heather and the girls this fall and went to this really cool drive through safari. We had a bunch of fun and saw some really unusual animals including this one.

Rare Albino Orangutan nearly fully evolved.

Crazy spider monkey

MMMM, You smell that boys....the smell of fear

Looks like one of the three little pigs is taunting the big bad wolves.

Fun Run

Susan, the kids and some friends, ran in a fun run this fall. They all had fun and are looking forward to the next one.

Fun At The Fair

Mommy and Meryn having fun

Brendon, Caleb and Trevin convinced Daddy to go on this ride. It was fun but Daddy can't handle these rides like he use to. I was ready to be done!

Our Girl Scouts!!

Visitors

I was mowing the yard and noticed a pile of fur under the grass. When I moved the top layer, there were 5 little rabbits all huddled together. I managed not to run over any with the mower and when the kids came home, they were still there. They had fun chasing, catching and trying to feed them, but Peter and his siblings decided they had had enough and were gone the next day.

Trevin turns 10!!

Our baby boy Trevin is 10 today! I can't believe it either. Trevin is an awesome son who has an ever present smile across his face. He is such a happy boy who has fun with anything he's doing. Right now, he's celebrating in Branson with Susan, brothers and sister, aunts and cousins. I wish I could be there to spend it with him, but I know he'll have a flurry of stories to tell me when he gets home. I love you Trevin and am so glad you're my Fat Boy!

Happy 6th Birthday Meryn

I remember saying I would be just fine having four boys and I know I would have. But at 18 weeks when the sonographer said it looks like you're having a princess, I was SO excited. I always thought it would be fun to have a baby girl, and it is! Meryn is a sweet, caring, loving, tenderhearted girl who I love so much. She is very girly yet has a tough side too! She loves keeping up with her three brothers. She is doing gymnastics now and loving it. We are so proud of you Meryn and love you so much...please stop growing so fast! Happy 6 years
