Easter Weekend


I started this blog last night and then it kept deleting my pictures so I got flustured and quit :)! I have once again misplaced my camera chord to upload my pictures... so all I have to share from Easter weekend are the pictures that were taken from my phone. I'll share the others once I find the chord or figure out how to get them off this chip thing *L*!
Saturday morning me, the girls, and Mom started the day off with a pedicure for Easter :) and then had to make a stop by my favorite store... Maurice's :)!! Always have stuff I can't seem to pass by when I go.
We had to wait a little while before we were able to get our pedi's so... we visited the shoe store next door. So here's a picture of the girls running down there :)....
So for all of you that think Sophie is an ANGEL... HA! She is our little tester.... she has no care in the World. She'll slap me, you, whomever..... bite, scratch, pinch.... she flat out does not care. You can spank her.... put her in time out... she might cry for a second, but then she's over it and didn't learn a thing. So anyway... I said all that to say that this is a picture of my arm in the shoe store. She was running through the store, so I was trying to catch her and I went down one aisle and her the other and I got her at the end.... well as soon as I grabbed her, she latched on and bit the crap out of my arm. Of course she got a spanking and she laughs about it.
We finally got called to get a pedi :)!! Little Tiny was all into it...

She is something else.... thats all I can say :)!






HAHA I had to share this... my little photographer took this in Maurice's when I was trying on clothes *L*!
Saturday at lunch we started our Easter with Kyle's family. WE had a great Saturday.
I have to share what "sweet" Sophie managed to do without any of us realizing it. She somehow walked in with a bucket full of sand.... and well yes.... very much enjoyed putting it all over the table!!! And yes that table was inside :)!! I'm telling you she keeps us constantly on our toes!! As MeMe says, "She's 1 in a million"!!

Isn't this table pretty? She always does a great job decorating for each holiday.Okay so if you are a loyal blog reader then you know that MeMe gets the grandkids "live" presents each year. I have to admit that finally on year 3 she did great and provided a cage, food, etc. Go MeMe! We now have 5 Hampsters!! Yep! Scary, Simon, Rosie, Oreo, and Sparkles.
Okay this is where it kept messing up on me.... the pics got out of order and when I tried to correct it, it would delete them :(!! So anyway these next 4 were taken Saturday night at my dads. Kyle was helping them hang their new TV..... I LOVE this picture of Kyle.... so handsome :)!

HAHA Jonathan was closely supervising :)!
My cousins Drew and Brock were poking fun at KC because he can't seem to do anything that he has to concentrate on without sticking his tongue out... so they snapped this picture *haha*!

Okay so back to Saturday *hehe*!!! Here's little miss....

Karter and Sophie aren't real interested in the Hampsters. I mean it's not that they just don't like them, but they don't really care about them. Karter held one twice and got bit both times, so he's over it.... and since he got bit, Soph just automatically says they bit her if she gets close to the cage *LOL*!








Okay.... y'all also know that I like the kids and us to be very much coorinating and matching on Easter. Of course it has to be pastel colors... So here are a few shots of the kids before church.... Some of all of us on the camera I'll share eventually *L*!! Kyle and I both wore white.



I was soooo happy with the kids outfits. Thanks KelleysKids for putting together a great look :)!! Even Kman had his initials on his shirt :)!! I got his white linen shorts at www.nextdirect.com... I highly recommend that website for cheap prices and great quality.
Sunday afternoon we went to the annual Wyatt Easter :)!! Had a wonderful time there.... of course pics on my camera. I have no idea why, but i was sooooo tired when it was all said and done. I seriously think I could have taken a nap on the concrete. The girls and I were completely out that night by 8:30.
Anyway.... when we got home I let the babies (Heidi wanted to watch a movie.. she was tired too) paint on their canvas' the Easter Bunny brought them. Karter was soooo proud of his. And my intentions were to let them paint them and then hang them in the playroom. Well that's not really going to happen *L*!!! You'll see why.....






HAHA They most definitely enjoyed this activity. Thankfully MeMe got a new pool liner Saturday so the pool was working on filling up.... it was the perfect fullness for the kids. So we let them get in it and "wash" off.
I'll leave you with a few videos to enjoy :)!!

Gosh It Has Been A WHILE!!!

It has been a while since I have last blogged. Not sure if anyone has missed it or not :)!! But I figured I'd at least update myself on the past few days for future enjoyment.

This past weekend was our annual Rattlesnake Rodeo! I look forward to this every year. I enjoy walking round and round the stadium seeing the same tent after the same tent and the same faces year after year :)!! I mostly love to go for the food. Funnel cakes, Carmel apples, Corn Dogs, Chicken on a stick, lemonade, etc. I have helped work the gates at the rodeo the past 3 years. I really enjoy it.

The only down side to this past Friday nights rodeo.... weather!!! I took this picture right when I got there.... it was a rainy mess.


Not long after I was there the weather started getting worse and worse.... and all of a sudden the tornado sirens were going off. The craziest thing though... people were still coming up wanting to buy tickets. Friday nights performance was Travis Tritt..... so people were coming from all over to watch him perform for only $20 regardless of some tornado. Thankfully we were in a block building so we felt as safe there as we would have anywhere. My Mom was idk.... about 10 or less miles from where I was and she took this picture of one of the tornados. CRAZY!!!

Thankfully the weather stopped and Travis performed. We had planned on going to watch Papa run the 5K run for the rode Saturday morning and then spend the day at the rodeo. WEll...... we woke up to a very messy morning. Raining and mushy. We did not want to go to the stadium and walk in the mush and get soaked with 3 small kids. So we decided to go to Dothan and car shop :)!

Here's a picture of Little Tiny while I was getting ready. Like she really needed some Diet Mt Dew huh??? *L*!! She was enjoying it though.

And there's Papa...... he did great in the run!




He would have gotten a better time but he had to get some grandbabies sugars :)!!!

We met up with all of the racers at the high school after they finished. We were proud of Papa!

My handsome hubby and Kman at the high school....

Sophie ended up wanting to spend the day with Papa after the run.... so the other 2 went with us and off to Dothan we went. We had a wonderful day. It was just so time consuming looking at vehicles..... so we didn't get a lot accomplished that we needed to. We did have a wonderful lunch at TGIFridays :)!! Great environment for kiddos. Kyle had a crawfish boil at church that afternoon, so the kiddos and I came on home and spent the rest of the afternoon playing with MeMe.

I had to get this picture... this was on the way to Dothan. I love this part about little boys.... when he has to go, he has to go..... and it's so easy. Kyle was cracking up laughing the whole time :)!! WE were just pulled off the interstate hehe!

Sunday afternoon was beautiful! We bought the kids new kites at Sams so Kyle kept trying to help them fly them.... but the wind just wasn't blowing enough.








Monday afternoon Heidi went to her friend, Oki's house to play with Oki and Presley. They had a wonderful time.... and even did their homework :)!



Yesterday Kyle, Heidi, and I went to Dothan to a DR appointment. After the appointment we went to Target and spent too much money :( but got some new stuff for the house. We then met some friends at Long Horn and had a fun and as always very laughable supper. Then we all went to the mall. Tried so hard to find me an Easter dress.... but no such luck :(!!

Mom got the babies from school for us. They went to BigMama's and had a picnic :)!! Mom texted me pictures of them there. So cute *L*!



She said they found some cement turtle here *L*!

This was at long horn. Heidi wanted me to send this picture to Papa. Oh..... we bought Kyle a work car the beginning of the week. Anyway we have decided to ride it more when he is home to save gas since my "bus" is so expensive. So we took it yesterday to Dothan..... when we were coming out of target with a HUGE rug, mounds of pillows, etc... in the buggy, Kyle then decided to "remind" me that we were on the car *L*! I am so used to my suburban and fitting everything in it. Thankfully we got everything crammed in and of course Heidi loved being squshed like a sardine.

While I was in Kohl's looking at their dresses, Heidi had a good time with my phone..... I can't help but smile when I see these pictures.





This afternoon the babies were SOOOOOOO ILL! I don't know why. Maybe they didn't rest well at school or something? I don't know. But as ill as they were we knew it wouldn't be fair for us to take them to church for their teachers to look after. So we stayed at home and missed Wednesday Night church for the first time in a while :( !! We don't like to do that.

Anyway.... the babies have parties tomorrow at daycare. So here are their treats they are taking... thanks Pinterest for the inspiration :)!!


Enjoy the short videos :)!!
