I love this guy!

I have the sweetest husband. He's always awesome but he's been taking good care of me while I haven't been feeling well. He's been cleaning, doing laundry, grocery shopping and even cooking sometimes! (I am doing some of those things, by the way! He's just helping me stay caught up on everything!) Tonight he made pancakes. He had never made pancakes before. Ever. In his entire life! How do you go 33 years having never made pancakes? He did a great job, they tasted really good! Thanks for everything you do, Jake! I love you!

Happy Birthday

My sister and brother both celebrated a birthday last week. Their birthdays are one day apart, but different years! We had a family party for them at my parents house. We always have fun together~ there is always lots of laughing! I got several pictures of Jenn but Mikey was sitting in front of a window so the pictures didn't turn out. He really was there though, I promise! He's so funny, we always enjoy our time with him. He works on the weekends so we don't get to see him as often as we'd like to! Happy Birthday Jenn & Mikey!

Soccer Saturday

Jake finally got to see his little soccer player in action.

Here's our pretty little cheerleader.

She loves the oranges at halftime!

Checking In

I haven't updated in a little while. Just thought I'd check in! The kids & I have been staying at home a lot lately. I haven't been feeling too well, especially in the afternoons & early evening. It could be a lot worse though, I am not complaining! But, because of that, we've been kind of taking it easy and staying around the house.

Adam got a surprise this week. My Papaw sent him some pirate ships that he had at his house! He and Papaw had a long discussion about pirates one time! Adam has always liked these ships when we visited. He was very excited to get them!

Silly Sarah loves to dress up and put on accessories. We never know what she will come out wearing (if anything- today she was singing and dancing wearing nothing but her pink sunglasses!) She likes to take out all of her dress up clothes and necklaces when she is supposed to be taking a nap! She has started to like the Fancy Nancy books. Those are really cute books! I like them too!

We are excited that Jake has the whole weekend off! He finally gets to go to one of Adam's soccer games. That has been sad for all of us that he has had to miss those! We will enjoy our weekend with him!

I updated my other blog with some craft projects. If you are interested, click on the link to the right!

Have a great weekend!

We have big news!!

Zoo Day!

Jake had the day off on Monday so we took the kids to the Fort Worth Zoo!

Picnic buddies...

Adam LOVED the new MOLA exhibit. He got to pet a snake!

He was very interested in all of the poisonous, dangerous animals! His favorite were the king cobras and the kimono dragons. He's such a boy! Here he is trying to wrestle with the dragon! Cutie!

Sarah LOVED her day at the zoo. She got to walk (actually run) instead of ride in the stroller. She was amazed at seeing all of the animals right in front of her. She would look for a few minutes then excitedly run to see what was next. Jacob and I enjoyed seeing how excited she was about the whole experience! She liked the monkeys best! She was too busy to take pictures! But, she did have a great time! We all did!

Happy Easter

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We did! I love Easter and springtime. Easter is such a symbolic time of new life & thinking of all that Jesus did for us and how amazing our God is! Then with all of the flowers blooming, sun shining, Spring days, it's just a refreshing time of the year! I love it!

Our church had an Easter carnival on Saturday with games, bounce houses, an egg hunt, and a hot dog lunch. The even had pony rides but my kids didn't want to try it. That night we went to Becky's house for some fun family time. We played games, dyed Easter eggs, and were entertained by the big kids showing off on the trampoline!

Sunday morning the kids found their Easter baskets on the back patio. There were eggs hiding back there too!

We went to church then had lunch at my parents' house. We had a nice day with them and our friends the Jones's. I was disappointed that I didn't get more pictures of the kids in their Easter clothes or a better family picture! (Sarah usually poses when the camera comes out but she wasn't in the mood that day!) We might have to try that again!
