Mulberry Tree

We have moved into the house next to Brian's parents house, my kids are in heaven!!  They get to see their cousins EVERY day!  The other day I knew they were in the backyard playing, but felt like I needed to check on them.  I walked out to find Judi coming out of the house saying they were picking berries!  We found them and they had a bucket of berries.  I ran back to find out what kind of berries they were so we could know if they were safe or not.  We are now working on making a mulberry pie or cobbler!  

Ella's hair...

Ella and I seem to battle about her hair daily.  

She loves it to be long, so do I...I just prefer it to be brushed:-)  

We usually give LOTS of options...down, up, braids, etc.  Now she has learned that she prefers Daddy to brush her hair.  I love watching him love her so gently and tenderly...he is really the best daddy!

Happy Birthday Harper!

We got to celebrate Harper's first birthday with her family!  We just fall more in love with her EVERY day.  She got this beautiful wig, but we prefer her dark hair:-)  There's just nothing like watching a 5 year old open birthday presents, be prayed over, and blow out birthday candles for the first time while holding onto her beautiful momma.  We are so excited to see all that God is going to do in and through you in this next year Harper Florence.  Love you!

Buddies

Angie took these boys for a play date....along with Port, Dax, and Luke!

She's awesome!!  They had the best time and it was hilarious that they were all in their jerseys.

Boys...

Western Party

 Lucky for me my little girl enjoys dressing up as much as I do!  Isn't she absolutely adorable?!?  We bought a pair of boots for her and Haynes to share, but didn't tell them that:-)

 We moved in the process of the parties...

My cute cowboy even struck his own pose!!

This little guy is a loyal Thunder cowboy...

He would wear his Thunder gear EVERY DAY if i would let him. 

 Don't worry he has boots on too!!

Love this kid!

Haynes came in the other day to show my his talent of single arm push ups!

He is a strong little man:-)

Riding the Jeep

Monday's I take Halle to the city for physical therapy and Haynes and Ella get to rotate between playdates and going with us.  Brian was home since he was playing in the Young Life golf tournament so he volunteered to have some daddy time with them.  He recently ran into a pole!  So his truck was in the shop, but lucky for him he got to borrow my parents jeep.  It was definitely a fun treat except on those extra cold mornings!  Haynes and Ella bundled up and ran errands with daddy!
