He did it!

A year ago, maybe, Brian told Port one night that if he could climb to the top of the pole he would buy him a pair of shoes. Since that day my boys have been climbing everything possible to win that competition I was a dinner with some girls and got this text! He finally made it all the way to the top. He didn't get a pair of shoes but he was pretty proud.

Crew and Ella

Ask Ella who her best friend is and the answer is usually Crew. Now if you watch them play, you may not always think that is true. They can love each other as well as they can drive each other crazy! We all went to lunch after t-ball a week ago. I was entertaining these two before everyone else got there...


Smiles...maybe?!? Not sure what these faces are except funny!


Silly faces!


Angry faces...
crew had this one down!

OU baseball

Drew and Christy, some of our new friends, invited us to sit in the outfield at the last baseball game together. We packed a picnic, bundled up, and headed out there with a few other friends...the Paynes and the Noles!


Ella loved it...if you can't tell:-)


Haynes was a little chili when we first got there, so he had dinner under his blanket.


Jade convinced Haynes, without much effort, to climb under the fence and get a few balls. Everyone was thrilled to get their balls back and Haynes couldn't have been more proud! Thanks Jade...


Brian got this fun toy for Christmas and thought this was the perfect night to bring it out. All the kids loved it! I love that my husband is always thinking through what we can do to create a fun atmosphere for the kids. God truly blessed him with eyes and a heart to love on kids so well. I consider myself a pretty lucky girl:-). Love you babe!

Thunder playoffs

We have been super blessed to get to attend a few playoff games this year. My husband really just loves it! Bob called one afternoon at 3 and said he got tickets to a suite. My parents graciously watched our kids. We had our own box. We had a great time and I think Bob might have found the way to get JuJu excited about basketball:-). Thanks for another fun night!!

Bubbles

Lolli and Champ let the kids fill the hot tub with bubbles. They LOVED it! I have more pictures but they are stuck on my camera...

Where's Port?!?

We were spending an afternoon in the front yard and I was sharing with our sweet elderly neighbors about our trip to Lebanon last year. I was slightly distracted until I heard Port say "MOM! Look at me!"

(He is in this picture, I promise...)

Port said, "I can't go any higher. There aren't ANYMORE branches!"

If you look at the first picture our baby tree is leaning from my big 5 year old!

Pizza with the Billingsley's

Brian and Mike were gone for a few days at a Community Servants Retreat. Abbey and I decided to get our littles together one night for dinner. Abbey made some yummy pizza and everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather. We let these big girls sit together outside!

The big kids have so much fun together. When we finally made everyone go to the car, it was way past time to go. Abbey and Lainey ran out to the car just before we left and Lainey said, "EVERYONE is crying!" Yes Lainey, we love your family too much and can't hardly say goodbye until we actually completely melt down:-)

Love you Billingsley's!
