Yearbook Yourself

I know you guys are surprised by two posts in one day but I had to share this one. I saw this on another friend's blog. This is quite entertaining. http://www.yearbookyourself.com/. This is my yearbook photo from 1994, 1974, and 1960.

Texas

We had a wonderful time visiting with our Texas relatives this past weekend. I got to visit with the 3 newest members of our family. Caylin, Colby, and Bethani are beautiful! It is amazing how quickly you forget just how small babies can be. Laney is only 19 months old but it seems so long ago when she was that small.

Logan and Laney loved the farm. They played in the dirt, rode the "rhino", and visited the cows. Laney was very friendly and made sure she greeted each cow with a wave and "hi cow." She is working on her Texas drawl.

After the long trip home, we all crashed. I spent the rest of the holiday digging out of the mountains of laundry. I hope everyone else enjoyed their holiday as well.

Elmo's World

We had a blast this weekend at Sesame Street Live. Laney just lit up when Elmo walked on stage. I would highly recommend this show if you have kids under 3. It is very entertaining. The only drawback is the length. I could do without the last 15 or 20 minutes. The kids get a little restless. Anyway I will leave you with this adorable Elmo.

Could it be love?

Logan has his first girlfriend. He talks about her all of the time and calls her his girlfriend. I notice each morning that she is waiting for Logan at the door when we get there. Yesterday he got in trouble for kissing her. Today he said Bryanna has on a blue dress. She looks like Cinderella. I was hoping for at least 10 more years before I had to deal with this.

Just when I get concerned...he reminds me that he is 3 by saying, "Bryanna is my girlfriend and Kadence is my wife." Then he says but Leightyn at church is my girlfriend too. It is not too serious yet...

More pictures of the kids

I wanted to share a couple more pictures of the kids. I will post more later...

Branson Vacation

I know I have been MIA this week but we were on vacation. We took the kids to Branson. They had a blast. Our favorite was the indoor water park. http://www.grandcountry.com/splash.asp

The water park was really geared for younger children and had a lot to offer as far as toddler pools and splash pads. Plus it was indoors so we avoided the 100+ heat. Our least favorite was Silver Dollar City. In my opinion they have too few rides and too many craftsmen. This doesn't appeal to children. Not too mention I was literally swarmed by all of the bees. I am not an insect fan so this was not appealing to me. We had a great time with the kids. I was surprised at how much easier this was than I had thought it would be. Maybe we will be ready for Disney World in a couple of years.

Also, Congratulations to Susy and Ryan who were married on August 1st. It looked like a beautiful intimate ceremony.

Happy Anniversary!!!

Tomorrow will be mine and Chad's 5th anniversary. We have been through a lot of changes in the past 5 years as we both began our careers and welcomed 2 beautiful children into our family. God has truly blessed us. Although our marriage is not perfect, we are better people together than we ever were apart.

Happy anniversary Chad!!! I love you.
