Sweet Girl

This little girl is overcoming challenges EVERY single week!  A few weeks ago she was not able to suck out of things.  We took a week of making messes and trying hard and she can do it!  I love watching her overcome things...God has big things for this little one!

Swim Lessons

Kourtney had planned for Miss Murrey to come do swim lessons at JuJu's pool with Harper.  I was super grateful that they allowed Ella to jump in on the lessons.  Last summer Ella was swimming and super brave, but this year she has been pretty terrified of the water.  I wasn't sure how she would do, so we had a lot of prep talking about showing Harper how fun swim lessons can be. 

Harper got a little overwhelmed in her first lesson and Ella was great at trying to help her out.  By the end of the week Ella jumped off the diving board and is swimming everywhere!  

just a day...

we have continued to get a little more settled in our new home...we were playing in the backyard and ella got hurt and asked the boys to pray for her.  i love that she never thinks twice, she's always asking the boys to pray for her.  i also just loved watching lift her dress to put his hand on her back, with her cute cheek hanging out:-)

Still celebrating...

My family celebrates things into the ground sometimes!  When we got back from Tulsa my parents brought over Haynes birthday gift.  The boys had been missing their basketball goal, so Champ and Lolli came to the rescue.  I don't think they've missed a day of basketball since:-)

Tulsa weekend...

 This picture is so funny because we had to stop multiple times to let Haynes pee on the side of the road...I sure do love this kid!

We pushed our kids pretty hard obviously....these are just a few shots of Ella through out the weekend. She would be talking and then just stop and be asleep.  My most favorite is the one of all kids asleep on each other.  I love these kids!

Boyd Wedding Day!!

 Family Picture

 It was a LITTLE chaotic behind the scenes...but it all turned out great:-)

 This little girl was the most adorable thing in the audience:-)

She was a GREAT little leader and had the best time.

The wedding was beautiful and absolutely perfect.  Brian did an amazing job officiating and mostly we are SO excited that the BOYD's are married!!  

Tulsa Zoo

 Friday morning we headed out for a FABULOUS breakfast, recommended by Brian Emery.  Then we headed to the Tulsa Zoo.  It was a perfect day, beautiful weather, and not too bad of a crowd.  The kids loved riding the camel, the only disappointment was when there weren't any Cheetas...Haynes favorite!

Halle had a great time and we discovered something that she LOVES.  We bought this little fan to cool her off and she wouldn't let you stop spraying her...she LOVED it!!!  Literally I have never heard her cry or throw a fit over anything until this fan:-)
