Happy Mother's Day 2015

It was a great Mother's Day! These sweet girls gave me all kinds of goodies. I cherish the handwritten cards and homemade crafts. Now that Addison can read and write, she doesn't need any help with the cards she makes. Such an amazing feeling to read what your child wrote to/about you (good or bad) knowing it was straight from her little mind and heart.

Welcome Home to Danny

Danny is finally home from Kuwait and we made a quick trip home to celebrate!

Mila loves Buddy and he loves her! 

In case you ever wondered, 10 pounds of catfish is about 7 pounds too much for 4 adults and 4 kids!

Memaw

The girls were so happy to spend time with Memaw recently! Her visits are never long enough and we can't wait to see her again very soon!

Flu Follow-up

 Remember back in February when Addison was diagnosed with the flu? Yeah, me too. Well, I fell ill with the flu that Saturday night and tested positive on Monday morning and started the treatment dose of Tamiflu. I don't remember ever having the flu, but will never forget this time. It kicked my ass and took a couple of weeks to fully recover. We suspect Blake had a very mild case of the flu. He was never tested, but displayed the symptoms. He took Tamiflu also. Alyssa never even got a sniffle and soldiered right on through flu season. Addison felt better the next day, but I kept her home a few extra days from school.

Power Washing

Our neighbor told me a while ago that I could borrow his power washer whenever I wanted. One day I started washing and never wanted to stop! I cleaned everything in my path. Patio, trampoline, bench, swingset, grill, patio table/chairs, driveway. It was surprisingly fun!

Oil Ranch Field Trip

The 1st grade field trip was to Oil Ranch last month. There were train rides, hayrides, swings, bouncy pillow, and all of the typical farm animals. Everyone had a great time!

Addison wasn't sure about feeding the cow! The cow was sure though!
