Mary Michael's First Birthday!

We had a busy weekend and it started off with a soccer game on Saturday, which we won. The Falcon's remain undefeated! We then jetted down to Lufkin for Mim's First Birthday! I still can't believe she is one, well technically not until Wednesday but still!



Christie and Mom did a great job with everything it looked so pretty!!



Her precious cake!



The kitchen that Christie and Cragg got her.



Sweet B man!



Big B gave the kiddos golf cart rides!



Mary Michael had fun playing in her cake, but she didn't get to messy!



Jack and Mim's ended the day playing in her kitchen.



It was the perfect party for a princess! She had a great day with lots of friends and family! Happy First Birthday Lady! Your Aunt Bee loves you soooo much!!!!

Easter Egg Hunt

On Thursday Barrett had his Easter Egg hunt at school. I was a bit sad this was his last egg hunt at First Kids. I can't believe he will be in Kindergarten next year!

Here is Barrett on our way to school he is looking sooo grown up to me!!



Jack was NOT digging these bunny ears at all!



Here is the class patiently waiting for the eggs to be hidden.





Barrett and his best girlfriend Sophia!



I love how he leans in and poses for pictures. There is no doubt he is my child. LOL!!





It was a fun morning!!

The old is new again!

On Wednesday the boys and I played out in the yard with some "old toys". Barrett's ride on RZR had been sitting out in the weather and hadn't been charged in ages. We had also brought out Barrett's old ride on four wheeler for Jack to ride on. We charged them both up, and somehow they both miraculously worked! We spent all Wednesday afternoon having a ball, with as Barrett called them the old toys. I love how kids can have something for a day and the next day it's old??



Thank goodness Barrett's ride on had a seat belt! Jack wanted to ride so bad, but B's toy goes surprisingly fast. Barrett reminded me of the seat belt, so I agreed to let Jack take a spin with him. Whoa! Jack's eyes were as big as saucers when they took off. They boys had a blast outside!!



Later that evening Paw Paw came over to keep Jack while Ryan and I took Barrett to see a movie!



We saw it in 3-D. Barrett was not to crazy about the glasses, they were HUGE on him. He had a hard time keeping them on, these were like RayBan Wayfarers not the old paper kind. Who knew? We had a great time and he LOVED the movie!!

A Day at the Dealership

Today after Jack and I had run a million errands in Tyler; and then picked up B from school, we headed to the dealership. My car had a light on and we went to have it checked out. Barrett LOVES to go up to the dealership and work with his Daddy. On our way there Barrett says: "Mom, have you ever been to the dealership? I can show you around." Me: "Uhh, YEAH. I only worked there for four years buddy, I think I'm good on the tour."

So while they guys checked out my car we rode around on the golf cart and explored the dealership. It is a little boys paradise. Cars, Trucks, Tools, so much to do and so much to get into trouble in!!



Barrett helped to guys wash my car, and one of his old four wheelers that we got out of storage for Jack. The man was in his element!!





Notice the popcorn in his hands. The popcorn and candy machines might be another big draw to the dealerships too! He tucked a towel into his jeans and said, "Mom I'm a worker man now." Too much I tell ya, the boy is too much!

First T-Ball Practice!

Monday Barrett had his first t-ball practice. Let me start by saying I have been dreading this day for years, maybe since I found out that my bun in the oven was a boy. See, let me explain. For those who don't know me really well, I am not the ballpark kind of girl. No offense if you are, but I grew up with a sister and we didn't frequent the ball much, errr, ever. I am more of the dance/gymnastics type. To make matters worse my husbands brother Kolby, is a super ball player. All four of my nephews are great ball players on select teams. If you don't know what a select team is, well come back for tomorrows post. My point is that my son or sons rather, are going to want to play ball like the rest of the family. Who knew baseball was a year long sport????



So anyhow, we had our first practice with the DRAGONS. Barrett was so excited and he did really well! With two boys, I knew this day was coming. I am going to suck it up and embrace my inner baseball mom!



The pictures are terrible I only had the phone, not to mention the wild man I was chasing around the ball park!



I have to admit I am a bit excited to see my little man all dressed up in his uniform, how cute will he be in those teenie baseball pants! Love it!!

Confetti Eggs and Birthday Sunday

Sunday morning started off with a bang, or crack actually. My Mom and Barrett found some confetti eggs at the store and first thing Sunday morning Barrett was busting eggs outside on the porch. He started off on his own head, then I turned around and saw that he had Jack outside and was cracking the eggs all over him. Next was Mary Michael, everyone got a little confetti. The babies couldn't figure out what exactly the confetti was, but they had fun playing in it!







The rest of our Sunday was filled with birthday parties. The first party was my nephew Breece's 5th birthday. He had a "Willy Wonka" themed birthday party. The boys had fun eating candy, bouncing in the bounce house, and playing with their cousins!!







That evening after his golf tournament Daddy joined us for Nana's birthday celebration. He drove down from Lindale and made it just in time for dinner at Del Rio. We had a full house at dinner. It had been a long time since we have all gotten together for dinner. We had 7 little boys at dinner it was WILD!! It would have been 8 but Jack stayed home it was to late for him. We got to meet Kolby's new girlfriend Megan, she was brave for coming with all those kiddos!! We had a great time and Nana loved having us all together!

Busy Saturday!

We had a busy Saturday! We got up bright and early for Barrett's soccer game. The Falcons pulled of another win and Barrett played hard. It was so windy at the game! I wasn't prepared, I was a little cold.







After the game, the boys and I headed to Lufkin. Ryan had to stay in Lindale for a few work things, he was coming to meet us later. I was helping with a wedding shower for one of my best friends Patti. I drove like a mad woman and we made it to L-town just in time for the shower. It was so great seeing all the girls! And yes, I am the dork who forgot to take my camera to the shower so NO pictures. It was beautiful. The cake, the flowers, every thing was just great. Thanks to Karen and Judy for letting us use their house!!

After the shower we headed over to my cousin Julie's new condo that she is moving in to. It is so cute! Everything is pink and girlie, and I mean everything! She even has pink pots and pans!! I want her to redo my house, but I'm guessing since I'm the only girl in the house that won't be happening!!

After our long day the boys and I were worn out. My Dad picked up dinner from one of my favorite places the "Hole in One". My chicken fried tuna was wonderful! We had a busy but FUN Saturday, it was great to be at Big B and SuSu's house!!
