We laughed at where they sat Brennon at Margarittaville. Brennon didn't noticed till we pointed it out to him. I had my camera ready for reaction, too cute. We laughed till we cried!

Everyday while Braiden and Patrick took a nap me and the big kids headed to the beach. We swam and walked on the beach till time to get ready to go eat! Some of my most favorite moments that I will always treasure.

We had a wonderful time. It was great to spend time together. Things have been very hectic this summer with Patrick's job (which we are so thankful for), little Noah's arrival, and summer fun. We feel very lucky to have had this opportunity. It is just what we needed. God's timing is perfect.

On a personal note. I would covet your prayers. There are many things we are dealing with. Patrick and I have some BIG decisions to make. These are not easy. My heart just isn't ready to share just yet! But there are big things on the way and happening. I want to honor and do things that are pleasing to God and always listen to his voice. I just wish he would talk a little louder right now! But his will is what my heart desires to do. No matter how hard it may seem at the time.


Thank you

Football season is here at last.

From 2009-09-05


Since this is my blog and NOT my husbands......

WARRRRRR EAGLE!!!!!

Baby Noah's visit

Well things have been moving around here since school started back. Just getting back into the routine has been an adjustment. I loved having my children around me all summer. I loved the carefree days of swimming and playing with no schedule or things to do. But all too soon summer is almost over and we are back in school, back to homework and study sessions. Back to packing lunches and trying to get out the door on time and calmly. Some mornings have been better than others.
Madi. has a new teacher. She just moved here from Georgia a few weeks ago and seems very nice. She is organized and makes them toe the line. Both of which Madi needs. We are really stressing and working with her about being more responsible this year. She has started back with company. Today was day 1 of learning all new dances for this year. It is good to have familiar things back.
Brennon has the same teacher he had in 3rd grade. It is his favorite teacher. So he is having a ball. For the past 2 weeks during PE the 5 and 6 grade class has gone to the aquatic center to swim for 2 hours. How fun is that!
They are out of school Friday and Monday for labor day. I am looking forward to a long weekend with them. Then Wednesday the 9th we are sneaking away to the beach after lunch till Sunday! I can't wait to play on the beach with my babies.
Speaking of babies. I got to keep Noah the other night while Jami and Blake did some shopping. I met them in town and brought him back to our house. Oh, it was so much fun. Madi sat and held him and loved on him. Braiden called him bebe, he sounded so cute. He held him and would kiss his head. He pointed and named all his body parts. He loved his toes and his eyes. he even helped give him a nurse- that's what he called his bottle and his paci. He is the prettiest baby. I love his hair. It reminds me of Lil B when he was little. Patrick and I fought over who was going to hold him next. Thank you Jami and Blake we had a great time. Any time you need a break, just let me know. We love him so much, he was perfect!
Brennon started flag football this year. It is fun, no pressure just clean, safe! play. Brennon won his first game 30 to 12. We ate lunch with our neighbors and let the boys sit together and play. Braiden just ran from Tyler, Tristen, and Brennon. It was sweet to watch him want to be BIG like them.


Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

Right now our season is full of school, dance, football and family. God is so good and continues to amaze me with his mercies and blessings.

Have a wonderful school year.

Late summer pics and catch up

Here are some pics taken late this summer. I most certainly did not let him go around the house naked! A responsible mother ( and I am) would not do such a thing. Seriously for a few weeks he would not keep clothes on. We have now moved past that.
And have moved onto removing our shoulder straps while in his car seat. Which now means it takes more time to get anywhere. I have to pull over and put him back in only to have his arms out again. This is getting better though. And this too shall pass!

He loves this hat and wears it all the time. It has a matching sweater. I love the stripes. I can't wait for cooler weather.

Guess who found my makeup bag? Ohhh we look so pretty! My lip liner, well that's another story.

He loves to be outside. One of his favorite things is riding his 4 wheeler with his sisters helmet on. It has to be maaa's (Madi) helmet.
