Big girls now

It can be some what challenging at times to get the girls together for pictures, but here is one that is priceless, just hanging out with dad.
Madi looks 1/2 grown and Tiffany is just as silly as ever. Hence, the funny "REAL" smile on Madi's face. I won't repeat what Tiffany said! ;)

Growing Up

My handsome man is getting so big. He will start his exciting year at Drew Elementary in Kindergarten on the 20th. He is super excited about going and even more excited that he gets to ride the yellow cheese wagon. Mom on the other hand, it’s NOT so excited. He becomes more and more independent and that just brings ALL kinds of emotions out. It's hard seeing him grow up, but in the same since such a joy.

Some more 1st timers!

This past week Chloe Grace had a couple of her "1st's" We had VBS and momma had to teach crafts, so tator bug (aka) Chloe Grace went to the nusery! A 1st! She had a really good time playing with Jada and looky looky....she's in the walker ( another 1st). She scooted backwards a lot and was VERY interested in all the pretty pretty's that were attached. Precious!

Momma bought me this fish and I luvs it. I give it lots and lots of "kisses" See....just like this! :)

Grubbin time

All by myself.....

Ok...so like I know that I'm running WAY behind on pics and I have a lot to share...so I'll start out with these. Chloe Grace decided it was time to take matters in her OWN hands! Notice how she holds the end of the bottle and not the sides!? I can't believe she is already big enough to do this :(

Chloe Grace also found clever ways to hang out.

Fireworks

God held the rain off long enough for us to give out over 500 bottles of water that night. Chloe Grace was happy about that! Unfortunately, the fireworks were rained out :(

4th of July Life Church Way

I know I'm a little late updating, but I've been trying to get some things figured out on this blog. I need help to say the least! Anywho....So this is a picture of Ethan holding our serve team Free Water sign. It was an awesome privilege to go and serve our community with our church at the fire works in Monroe on 4th of July. It touches my heart to see people's faces everytime we serve. I think I get more out of it than they do, but it never fails that someone will ask why we do it........Simply put....Because we love you.

YES! I DID IT!!

WHEEEWWWWWW WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I FINALLY figured out

the slide show!

Slide Show

Well, I have tried and tried and tried and tried and tried...well you get the picture....I've have been pulling my hair out trying to get a slide show up of our vacation pictures and well, the computer won!! I guess I'll give it another try sometime later. Meanwhile, you'll just have to deal with scrolling a lot to see the pictures! Thanks for hanging in there!

Gulf Shores 2008

Well, we made it, had a great time, and are now back in good ole LA. I had wanted to make updates with new pictures daily while we were there, but my USB cord didn't make it in from eBay in time, so that was a bummer!! Anyway, we had a lot of fun. We spent two days at the beach and also went to the Exploreum in Mobile. (http://www.exploreum.com/) THAT was a lot of fun. That place was the neatest thing! Any of you adults who have kids should check it out next time you are in that area. One of the employees there told us that the exhibits and IMAX shows change at least twice a year, so you don't see the same things over and over. It’s a great place to get your kids minds stimulated as my husband says. The kids were a real hoot the whole time. (CHALLENGING!!!!!) Ethan had NO fear of the water. He kept thinking he was a shark and just kept jumping in testing how far he should go. Tiffany, she loved the water but was a little apprehensive about how far was far enough, as for Madi, well, I'll just say she is our drama queen for sure! Little Miss Chloe Grace did so well. I was really proud of her. She just kinda hung out in daddy's little Snugli while we were are the Exploreum and slept through the IMAX. As far as the beach, she lay in her little tent and was a complete beach bum to say the least. When dipped her little toes in the water for the 1st time, she was ok with it at 1st, but when the water came up and hit her legs, she wasn't having that! The weather was really nice the whole time. It rained Friday night and I think that it drew the jelly fish in on Saturday. Madi and Jackson got stung, but were troopers about it. While we were out, we also went and seen Wall- E (cute movie) and ate at Lamberts. That is a neat little place to get some grub if you craving some good ole country cooking. Any who...I guess that's about it. We had a great time and I want to thank my sister in law for opening her home to us once again. I know this week was not the best week for you, but God had everything planned. We love you bunches Lori!
