a life less crazy

Where do I start ?I think my title says it all . We want our lives to be simple and carefree and who in there right mind don't. But you see if you have kids you have to throw in clubs that they are in like 4-h , or Church with youth groups or V.B.S Plays (That by the grace of god get put together in a week and go off perfect), ( that's my baby off the far right side) Then you put school field trips which we always try to go to! Because we have never missed one.Even if we have had fifteen things to do! We have always taught them a life worth living is having fun and being loved by those around you.
We have all grown up (well me since I was 23 and the boys for as long as they could walk)being a part of The Story of Jesus! This in itself takes up a big part of the year. I have always told the boys that we are apart of something bigger than we will ever know and even as tired as we may get there are people who come to the lord just because of a word or a scene that may have touch them,and we were apart of that in their lives.
Then comes Family.I love my Family and don't know what I would ever do without them. We seem to have a Birthday party, or Baby Shower, Or someone Graduating every other weekend. I would not trade it for nothing because I am lucky enough to have two family because I have my church family too! They are two really great bunches of people who I couldn't live without!
So I guess what I am saying is that no craziness would be good but I love my life and feel the crazy times just add to the fun!! Thanks for listening and love to you all!!

my birthday and my babies birthday

My birthday surprise from my boys! Daddy and my guys made me a very good supper on my b.day and then we had a big cook out over at mom and douggies'.I am so bad though because I didn't take any pics over there! We all had a good b.day month. I turned 34 on the 16th and my babies turned 11 on the first! Then my very good friend Joy took me out for a girls night out at Chili's ! So over all I had a good 34th to say the least. Thanks be to everybody!

last day of summer, first day if school


My garrett on his first day of fourth grade. He has done real good,and has a great teacher. She came out to the truck the other day and told scott he(being garrett) was on of the best kids in class! They surprise us everyday! My ry ry. This was his first day of fifth grade ,yes you noticed right they are in two different grades. They got split up in 2nd grade. It has worked out better than i thought it would . His teacher also says he is a very well behaved kid! ( i wonder sometimes if they are talkin' about my kids or getting them mixed up with someone elses') just kidding i know my boys are good!
This was the first day of Highschool , I don't know who was more scared codi or me? He has done real well over the past couple weeks. He is not my baby no more. They grow up so fast!It blows my mind that he will done with school in another three years!

This was our last night in v.a., this sunset was so pretty.It felt so good just to get away for awhile! I miss the barn were they used to live but you never got sunsets like this there!!

Scott and I at a cave that was on the side of the road! It was pretty neat but i wasn't going in!

This was all of us trying to walk across the river! slippery and rough rocks lined the ground and was hard to walk on. This is me ,scott,and garrett! this place is so pretty and the water was cold!



more fam vaca pics and stories

When we finally got there one of the first things the boys wanted to do was go for a ride in paw paws jeep! we went down to the river for some r.and r.!
Ryan was out before we hit the traffic! Little skunk I wish i could have slept through it too! Atleast it was one less mouth going mommy when is it going to move? ( over and over ...)





Traffic we hit in north carolina on the way up! we were stuck for about 30 or 40 mins. at a snails pace. Talk about a moment I was ready to scream! We had a good morning up until this time!
