Something about a girl

My boys were always sweet and they still have their moments they want to be with mom, but

not like Brie. She always loves her moma even when I have to get on to her.

A great Memorial Day weekend

We had lots to do this weekend. I will have to upload Saturday's pictures later, but for now this is what we did Monday afternoon after swimming. Everyone had a great time at Uncle Shane's fishing and swimming in the pond.

Brie's first dance recital

Saturday was Brie's first dance recital, pictures aren't too great due to there being no flash photography allowed but atleast they turned out okay!

Bad Morning

Okay, I am guilty of being a bad mom this morning. My boys poked around all morning and when I was walking out the door Bailey was still in his underwear and neither had brushed their teeth. I don't know what in the world they do after they get out of the shower, actually I know what Bailey does. I have found Bailey on the couch asleep after taking a shower.
They are 8 & 9 so they are old enough to know that they have to get ready after taking a shower!! I have enough to do getting myself ready and Brie!
Needless to say when we pulled into the high school the bus was getting ready to pull of and Luckily Bailey Roe saw us and was waiting and told the bus driver they were coming. Bailey and Brent just sat there and said "we're not going to make it" I was like "GET OUT DON'T YOU SEE BAILEY STANDING THERE WAITING ON YA'LL!!!"
Whew... sometimes mornings are so stressful. Jason leaves at 5:45am so he is gone before the kids even get up. Only 5 more days of getting ready for school and I can have some sanity.
I know they are only little once and all this will be funny in a couple of years, but for now they are wearing me out!

The gift of children

Leading the babies!

My kids bring a smile to my face everyday. No matter how stressed out I am or how bad of day I have had they make me laugh! God gave me a great gift of 3 great kids.

Our new dog Maisy

Today we got a new dog Maisy! She is an 8 week old Schnoodle, and is so sweet. (I'm sure in a couple of weeks my post won't be so great about her as we potty train and teach her not to chew!)

"Look no training wheels!!!"

Brie and I worked a couple of months ago on learning how to rider her bike without training wheels and she did pretty good but didn't ride too far. Today she just picked up the bike and took off all by herself, pretty amazing!

Farm Day at Preschool on May 4th, 2009

Brie's favorite was the pig! It was sooo cute!
The snorting was so funny!

Molly, Kinley, and Brie

Kinley and Brie, they love to find clothes and dress alike!

BEst FrIeNDs FoREveR!!!

I think these two are going to be best friends for along time!

Brie's dance recital rehersal

Brie wasn't too happy about doing her ballet

She stood there, then ran to me!

Now, it was time for doing flips and she finially got woke up enough

she has gotten so good at her cartwheel!

Well Brie feel asleep about 2:00 Monday afternoon, I was at home with her that day. I got Teri to pick the boys up from school with her kids so that Brie could finish her nap before dance. Little did I know at 3:15 when I tried to get her up she would get in the truck and go right back to sleep on the way there no matter how much I tried to talk to her. When we got there, just about everyone (us and 1 other kid) had on their costumes and we didn't know they were supposed to wear them b/c Brie had fever last MOnday and we missed class.

Brie was grouchy and didn't want to get out of my lap, so she didn't do much. At the end of gymnastics she finially came alive and then didn't want to leave. I managed to get a few pictures even though she was quite grumpy and I was too because I wanted to see her get out there and dance!
