The Circus Birthday Party

On Friday we had a little "circus" birthday party for Conner and Caleb at the sprinkler park. Yeah for birthdays and friends!!!

Can't Stop Love

I found this with my brother Kyle on Saturday night in the Wal-mart parking lot.
Not that I am encouraging graffiti, but how cool is this??

Thoughts

• The Lord does not make mistakes. He did not create me by accident, rather he spent time with me.
• Find out who you are. It is hard to have friends when you do not know who you are.
• SIMPLIFY life. Clean out junk and clutter. Simplify goals and ambitions.
• Spend time just being Angie. Not cleaning, not reading, just being.
• Get to know your backyard. Spend time making it your own.
• Spend more time just loving the kids.
• Stop placing unrealistic expectations upon Angie. Just BE.
• Read scriptures more
• Exercise everyday

It is okay to listen to my heart. listen to what Angie needs and wants.

Stop running away from myself - start living my life!!!

Caleb's Birthday Pictures

We spent Caleb's birthday at the beach. How cool is it that we have a beach five minutes away from our house?? After our Texas days of having to drive at least thirty minutes for any form of nature, we are LOVING our new location :)

The boys had fun playing in the sand and the water. We had a little picnic and got really really messy!

We had such a great time! Yeah, Caleb is one years old!

One Year Older

In one year, we went from this:

to this:

Happy Birthday Caleb!!!!

-- Yes, Caleb is in a newborn gown.

Once There Was A Snowman - Conner's First Imaginary Friend!!!

The Snowman, Conner's imaginary friend, is the newest edition to our family. This snowman has special powers, he never breaks a sweat or starts to melt. He plays with us at home, at the park, and even in the car. The snowman is even put in "bummer time" when he hits, yells, or throws food. Conner even loves to help the snowman use the potty. To use the potty, Conner helps the snowman pull down his pants, he then lifts the snowman onto the potty, and even helps the snowman "aim". Tonight Conner was frantic because the Snowman's pee-pee was all over the bathroom, we had to get rags and clean it up! We love our imaginary Snowman friend!

Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman
Once there was a snowman who loved the Conner-man

Conner likes to play with him
play with him
play with him

Conner likes to play with him
all day long

Summer Fun at the Sprinkler Park

A couple weeks ago my friend took some cute cute pictures of my kiddos at the sprinkler park. They are simply too cute... I must share :)











I know I have been doing a lot of picture posting the last couple of days... just "trying" to get organized :)

When We're Helping We're Happy

We are almost done painting.... just one more wall to do.

We are grateful for our little helper :)

Conner is Awesome

"Conner is AWESOME!"
Said by Conner himself...

and I totally agree.
