Catch up post.

I haven't posted for a while, so I thought I would put some of our highlights down.



These are pictures of Jaxon's field trip to the planetarium. We had such a good time. We got to pretend to be on the Moon and on Mars. He loved it. They got to watch a movie about planets and of course he had to get popcorn and space ice cream. It was a great time.





We are building a playground for the kids. It still isn't done, but it is getting there. If only the weather would cooperate....







And finaly Easter. We had such a great time. The kids loved the Easter egg hunts.
On Saturday we started off by going to the Herriman hunt. It was great the kids got lots of stuff. I did manage to loose Makade and Jaxon and had to have them paged, but it all ended well. Next we were off to the Butterfields hunt. It was very nice of them to invite us. Jane did a great job and had all sorts of great prizes for the kids. After that we headed to Grandma Gins for her hunt and BBQ. The kids had such a good time. She had the hunt and played games with the kids and then we ate. It was good to see everyone. All my brothers and sisters made it.
Sunday we had a good time seeing what the Easter Bunny brought, then we went to church and even with four kids it was a great day at church. After church we went to Grandma and Grandpa Bearden's for their Easter Egg Hunt and dinner. The kids loved all the prizes they got there. Brooklyn loved the reeses peanut butter cups. That is all she wanted. Thank you everyone for making our Easter a great one.
I know this post is long and I am sorry, but you are all caught up now.

Happy Birthday Craig!

Yesterday was Craig's Birthday. We started the day by opening presents, having breakfast. Then, Craig went to work for a little while. We all went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. The boys needed their Steak. This was the only picture I got. It is of Craig and Brooklyn on the saddle while we sang to him at the restuarant. He was a good sport. We went shopping and then ended the day with some cheesecake. I think he had a good day. I know the rest of us had a great time with him on his birthday.
Craig is such a great person. He is the best dad. I couldn't ask for a better husband. Thanks for everything Craig. I love you!

Such a Girl!!!

Those of you that know Alex know that she is as girly as they come.
Last night she got out of her bed to reapply her lipstick. What three year old does that....
The other night she and I were having a girls night. She picked a movie for us to watch and she wanted to watch Thirteen going on Thirty. We were watching it when all of a sudden they kiss. Alex says "ewe gross" I am thinking it is because they are kissing, but no, she continues to say "he is kissing her and she has on lipstick" or as she calls it whipskick. I thought that was so funny. It wasn't gross that they were kissing. Only that he was kissing her with her lipstick on.
Alex is such a fun girl. She love to have her hair done and get dressed up. She loves purses, shoes, nailpolish and of course lipstick.....

Poor Alex...

This last weekend I had to take Alex in for a sleep study. Again!
This girl has been through so much in the little time she has been around. In the past three and a half years she has had toe surgery for her webbed toes (which didn't work, but I am glad because I love her little webbed toes). She has had a sleep study finding out she had sleep apnea and had to have her adnoids out. She was too young to take her tonsils out too. Then she had to have tubes in her ears. They only lasted a few months, so didn't really work. Then she had to have her tear ducts unplugged with a little surgery so her eyes wouldn't always run, but it didn't work. Now we are starting over with the sleep study again thinking her apnea is back. They think she may need her tonsils out now. We won't know for a couple of weeks. She is such a good sport. As you can tell in the pictures she was just happy to be there. She was so excited, because the next day she got to go pick out new finger nail polish. That is the one thing she wanted.
We are very blessed that the things we have had to go through with her have been very minor. We love you Alex! Thanks for being such a good little girl....

Congrats Bailee!

Bailee is in competetive cheer. She is an amazing little cheerleader and dancer.
Her group just went to Florida for Nationals. They took 1st place. They now get to go to Worlds next month. I am excited, because I am going with her to watch.
I remember back when I was a cheerleader and watching these competitions on TV and thinking the groups were amazing. Now here she is doing it...
Here is a link to view their performance. They also interviewed Bailee.
Love you Bai.

twilight?!?!?!

Okay, so I never got into the whole twilight thing. To be honest I thought it was all kind of dumb. Everyone was always talking about it and telling me I needed to read the books. I didn't and I think that was mostly because everyone was. Well, Amy talk Craig and I in to going to the movie with her and Eric. I really liked the movie and thought maybe I would read the book. Craig thought I was dumb for wanting to read the book after seeing the movie, but I started it and didn't get very far with it. I took it with me to San Francisco to read while at the airport. I have loved it. I read every spare minute I get. I am now almost done with new moon. I guess I am a late commer, but am now realizing what all the fuss was about....

San Francisco

Here we are at the concert
Mom and Kane, while it is not raining :)
Criag and I


This past weekend Craig and I went to San Francisco with Mom and Kane.
We had such a great time. It rained the entire time we were there, but that didn't stop us. We walked all along the pier and went to all the shops. Mom had an unberella in the car, but Kane wouldn't go get it. He kept saying "it will blow over". It was really funny. I finally bought my mom another unberella. That night we went to Tommy Emmanuel's concert. He is amazing.... The next couple of days we just drove and saw sights, shopped and ate and ate and ate.... We had such a great time and can't wait for the next trip......
