Family fun at the Park!




We went to our favorite neighborhood park that other night. It was so much fun to get out and enjoy the very nice weather! Brody has a blast and is becoming more and more brave every time we go!! Kaylee really enjoyed swinging and watching Brody play. She did get to slide too and really liked that. :)
There is not much going on around our house besides the normal every day activities. So there is not really much to post about besides our family adventures at the park. :)

Having fun!

So what do you do on a rainy day? You get out all your stuffed animals and put them on the train! :) We have been stuck inside a lot lately because of teething, sickness, and rain. So we were being a little creative with our pretend play! I never really realized how many stuffed animals we have in our house until we lined them all up. This is not even all of Brody's, just some of his favorites.

This little girl loves her stuffed animals just like her brother! She loves playing with them, feeling them and sometimes biting on them! :) She is getting her two bottom teeth in and has been a little fussy so I was glad this kept her in a good mood for awhile!

Since the sun was out on Saturday we decided to play outside with some chocolate pudding! Can it get much better then that! He helped me make it and really liked playing with it! He didn't really want to eat it while he was playing with it though. What a funny little boy, who does not like eating chocolate pudding?

Getting all messy and enjoying his "mud bath".

Him and Daddy decided to do some face painting and have a little pudding fight. :) Glad we did it outside!

7 months old, and asking about God

Where does the time go? Kaylee turned 7 months old on the 12th and is growing up way to fast! I remember this time going fast when Brody was a baby, but it seems like she is growing up even faster! Our little baby girl is such a joy to be around! She loves being able to sit up and watch what is going on around her. She enjoys playing with her toys and gets very frustrated when they go out of her reach. She will sometimes scoot on her bottom to go and get some of the toys, or roll around from her back to her stomach until she can reach them. It is funny to watch! She likes to pull up on your arm and practice standing up. She is very interested in the touchy feely books now and really likes to feel them not just eat them! :) She is a true joy and blessing in our lives!


We were playing in Brody's room the other day and he was talking about how he had asked God into his heart. I asked him what he had said and he said this-
"I talked really quietly and said God will you come into my heart".
I just wanted to give him a big old kiss right then and there! :) This all came from him asking Ja and I why we had to go to church one Sunday morning. We told him that we go to worship and learn more about God. Then the typical "why" questions started coming. We told him that Daddy and I have Jesus in our hearts and that Jesus wants to come into his heart too. ----
So as we were playing in his room he wanted to listen to mine and Kaylee's heart to see if he could hear God in there!!!!! :) (picture above!) Don't you just love the way a child thinks! It is our prayer that him and Kaylee will both accept God into their hearts and walk with Him through their lives! I wanted to write this story down so that when he accepts Jesus into his heart and knows what he is doing, I can share this story with him!

Reading a book together.

Labor Day Weekend-

I just think this picture (below) is too funny! My Dad has always been an OSU fan and Graduated from there. So of course growing up we were surrounded with OSU games, colors, and we even visited the campus and went to a couple of games. HOWEVER I was never really into sports (still am not but try to act more interested for my husbands sake!) (I went to a college that did not have football.) :) So when I married a man who is an OU fan - I of course jumped on the band wagon and rooted for his team. (Sorry Dad!!) So here we are on game day sporting our team colors proudly.

We were able to go to my grandparents house this past Labor Day weekend with my whole family! It was really good to see them and have the kids play at their house. We were able to do some shopping at the outlets, ride the Dart train to Downtown Dallas, and eat lots of yummy food-- all while juggling three kids schedules!


Here Kaylee and Drew are entertaining each other and watching each others every move. It was fun to watch them with each other!

We loved being able to see our nephew Drew while we were there! He is getting so big and is so cute! Looks like both him and Kaylee will have blonde hair and big blue eyes! :)

We got to ride the Dart train while we were there and you can guess that Brody just LOVED it! He was so excited to be going on it and had never ridden on a fast train like that before.

As you can see Drew was a little tired and thought it was a good time for a nap.........

............so did Kaylee!!!

Here are Brody and Micaw (my grandpa) on the train looking at all the sites out the window. He did not stop looking out the window the whole time!

We walked around Downtown for awhile seeing all the sites and smelling all the good food that is down there!

We were able to see Uncle John and Jerry while we were there and Brody had a great time with them. Here they are looking at the Locust that were out that night.

Showing me the locust that he had found in their back yard.


We are so glad that we were able to go and can't wait to go back again!!
