Week of FIRSTS!!!

Well, I can honestly say that with 4 kids 5 and under we have never had to visit the ER for any reason until this past weekend. Yes, that is right, Bailey broke her clavicle...it happened last Wed night before church with she fell from a booth at church (Molly might have pushed her), however, it wasn't until Sunday that we decided to take her to ER. She never really complained about it until Sunday when she had been using her right arm more and more. She has a very high pain tolerance I guess...she can still move it around without a lot of complaining which is why we didn't think to take her in until then. She has been a trooper, and seems to do ok in the brace. She has to wear it through April....poor thing however she still looks happy.



Carter had his first tball game of the season this past weekend. They ended up losing that game, but are getting better and better each inning they play. Chris has him at pitcher and he is doing a GREAT job of stopping the ball.



Spring Break

One of my childhood friends from Mena, Tiffany, had a new baby about a month ago. So, on Spring break I decided to take my kids and dad to Mena to see my family and also meet her newest Jenna. The kids had a lot of fun with her, especially Molly, she couldn't stop laughing. She was so sweet, and such a good baby.





For those of you that know my family know that we love playing games. I was so excited to be down there because we played cards or dominoes constantly. It was Friday afternoon and we are all sitting around playing cards...it doesn't get any better than that. We had such a good time, thanks Melissa and Shane and families for taking us in for the weekend.


I LOVE the 80s

If you know me at all you know that I LOVE the 80s. Some might say...Chris...that my cousins tortured me into listening to all the great hairbands of the 80s, I say they taught me the best music ever. My company got tickets to the Kiss A Pig event this year, and the theme was I LOVE the 80s, and it was awesome! 80s music all night is my kind of night, and even better is Bret Michaels was the entertainment for the evening. My favorite song of all times is "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," and yes he sang it. I was up front like a little school girl with some of my friends from work, and have some great pictures and video of him, but they are all on Chris's phone.

Here is one of the pictures from the night...these are some of our friends from church, Todd and Jennifer


Nightly Fun...

Here is a little look at our crazy kids during the nighttime hours. We have fun thats for sure. Glad the weather is improving, we have now moved out playing outside.

Not sure what they were doing, but they lined up the chairs and were having the best conversations. Love these kids...


And of course a dogpile on dad is ALWAYS in the nightly routine


And then there is jumpzone...this was Molly's first time that she actually got to enjoy it and she LOVED it!
