Until my computer and I can work together in harmony ~ just a few more pictures. . .

In Nashville, 2011, at Time Out for Women with my

beautiful daughter and friend, Meghan.  Wonderful weekend!

Beautiful Piper getting a hug from cousin, Heath, following her

Wee-cital.  Piper performed magnificently.  Bravo!!

We love you Piper! 

 If you're happy and you know it. . . SMILE! 

This little guy's dark eyes and hair still shock me for some reason.

Especially when he is around other children that are mostly blonde.

Love you Heath, you make me smile too! 

Ellie came to visit. . .

Trip brought Ellie with him when he came in May.  It was heavenly  having one on one with Ellie ~ or as she would say, "you can call me Elizabeth".  Our new expression is "Oh, my silliness!"  VERY fitting.  She ate her weight in cantaloupe every day, took a bubble bath, went shopping . . . lots of fun. Also while she was here she got her hair cut and enjoyed time with her TN cousins. 

Ellie before. . .

After. . . she loved her curls.  Thank you Sarah! 

Trouble X's 4. . . .

Cy, Ellie, Heath and Piper.

Ellie & Heath are 2 1/2 weeks apart followed by the twins 9 months later.

LOVING time with my babies.

This was following Heath's Sonshine School graduation. . .

It's off to Kindergarten for him and Ellie in August.

Piper is SO happy to have her Ellie coming back HOME!

Ellie, Piper, Cy, Adaleigh & Heath with Mama Mary



Catching up. . .

Spring is a BUSY birthday time for us. . . We have many March/April birthdays followed by a few in May and then more in June. . . etc. etc. . . well, until October. . . we have not had any October birthdays ~ until this year!  Mary Kathryn's little gal will be born in October ~ she will have the whole month to herself!  The following are random pictures from birthday celebrations or just daily silliness around here. . .

Preparing Piper and Cy's birthday cake, with help from Logan and

Kierstyn looking on (does she look like her Mom, or what?!?!)

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. . .

Happy 4th Birthday Piper and Cy!  We love you!

Happy Adaleigh enjoyed wearing/eating the cake too!

Doesn't she just make you SMILE!  

Beautiful cousins and friends ~ Kierstyn and Mia ~

No guessing who these girls belong to, huh?? 

Handsome cousins and friends, Landon and Kyler.

Kyler is sporting new braces.

Piper and Cy showing the cute birthday cards that came from

their Utah cousins!  They LOVED these cards.  And Piper

especially loved the jewelry sent by Hailey!  Simple pleasures!

You've heard it from here before, but I just LOVE this little guy!

Another picture worth a thousand words. . . or more! So CUTE!

Our Logan!

Again. . . Trevin and his girl, Adaleigh and

Adaleigh and her man, Trevin.  These two have a love connection,

for sure! 

Skinned nose and all this one steals your heart. 

Oh, let me count the ways Trevin is CUTE!

And sweet, and smart, and athletic and, and,  and. . .

We love our Trevin!

Kierstyn is at her happiest when she has a baby on her hip!!!

And this is what we think about birthday celebrations!!!



Taking a poll. . . your two cents will be appreciated!

Looks like we have found a house to call HOME!  In the contract exchanging stage; need to pass inspection etc. etc.  . . . Looking good thus far ~ Al and I both had "that feeling" I'm been waiting for (and KNEW it would come) and began to put the wheels into motion.  Pictures and details to follow.
I NEED YOUR HELP:  We will be buying a new washer and dryer (and an iron) so I want to know what you have; if you like (love) them and why; if you do NOT like them and why; and any and all information that would benefit one who is ready to make a purchase.  Thank you so much!
