Wow where have I been?

I have been really bad lately about posting. I'm sorry! Life has been pretty busy for us since Whitnee turned there. I will do a catch up with pictures like I always do. It seems to work best. I will start with our sweet little girls 3rd birthday party.

Mommy and the sweet birthday girl.

We made Whitnee's cake/cupcakes this year. I'm so happy with how they turned out! Stevie and Brian came over Thursday to help decorate and I would be so lost with out them helping. They turned out so so cute!

Whtinee with some of her friends.. Do you know how had it is to get 3 3yr olds to all look at the camera at the same time. :D

Whitnee got a swing set for her birthday and was soo happy! This girl would swing all day if we let her!

A couple weeks later we took my niece Hannah to Silver Dollar City. She went with is last year at Christmas time, and we told her that we would take her again this summer when she could actually ride more rides. We had so much fun with her!

Oh Hannah, always being silly!

Headed to dinner..

Michael had vaca at the end of the month so we took Whitnee and her friend Hailey to the Tulsa Zoo.

I freaking love the faces the girls are making in this picture! HAHA

I sure do love this little girl! She makes my heart melt!

So sleepy!

As you can tell life has been pretty good for us this past couple of weeks! It was nice having the hubby off work for a week. Whitnee enjoyed having her daddy around more. We have now gotten back into our routine. That and I also realized that as of this month Whitnee has been potty trained for year! WOW! Seems like just yesterday we started the adventure! Our first day of Training, that is a link to the first post I made about her going potty.

Well I hope you are all enjoying your summer! 

Getting Caught up

Wow it's been way to long since my last post, so let me get everyone caught up. On Easter Sunday we had a a new pastor and his family come to our church and preach in view of a call. The following Sunday we welcomed him in as our new Sr. Pastor.  I'm so excited to see what God is going to do through him. We have gotten the opportunity to speak with him about his vision for our church and if we are all willing God will be doing GREAT things!

On Easter Sunday we went to Michael's parents house and celebrated with them. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Our little family. I love Whitnee's silly cheese. :D

Whitnee and her Aunt Kisa. Pretty sure that is Chocolate on Whitnee's face. :D

We then got to dye Eggs. This was the first year Whitnee got to do it. She was a pro and even did it double handed. :D

The finished product. We then took them outside and hid them so Whitnee could find them.

A couple weeks back we took a trip to the Gentry Zoo. It's a great drive thru zoo that also has a petting zoo. Well Whitnee LOVES going and I see us going a lot this summer! We of course had to take a friend with us!

We also went to the Razorback Red and White Game. I love going to this every year because it's family friendly and free! Whitnee got to dance with the big blow up Hog, and one of the majorettes. It was he sweetest thing ever! She was so excited!

She also got to give loven to Sooie, so thankful she isn't afraid of the people dressed up as things! She LOVES them!

And then of course loven had to be given to Pork Chop.

So we have been a busy family but isn't that what spring and summer is all about? We are so blessed to be able to get out and do things like this as a family! We are looking forward to going to Branson this Sat as a family, it'll be the first time Whitnee has gone this season and I'm excited 'cause she should be tall enough to ride some rides she wasn't able to ride last year! We are also going with some friends. It's going to be a great weekend! I will try and do better about keeping the blog updated that way the next time it's not so long. :D I hope you all are enjoying the spring and I'm looking forward to summer! 



Gentry Zoo, Cloth Diapers, Guys and Dolls, 2 weeks of Potty Training

The title of this blog pretty much sums up my weekend. It was a very busy one. Friday late morning early afternoon we went to the Gentry Zoo, Whitnee loved it and even touched the snake, something I will not do. So the Gentry Zoo is a 4 mile drive through zoo, and then you can get out and pet some animals. Stevie went with us so Whitnee was able to sit in her lap and enjoy the ride even better. Hailey sat in the back and was my picture taker. Here a couple of pics from our trip



Whitnee and Stevie, you would never know Whitnee once didn't like Stevie



Hailey doing what she does, being cute!



Sat Stephen and Chas invited me to go to a cloth diaper class with them, Michael and I have talked about doing cloth diapers with our next kid. I was like 95% sure that I wanted to do it but just had a couple doubts in my mind, well after gong to the class I have no doubt in my mind that's what we are going to do next time. It's going to be a great money saver!

Later Sat night I went to dinner and to see Guys and Dolls with Ami, her birthday is this month, and that's what we did to celebrate it, it was nice to get out just us girls and the show was AMAZING!

Today markes the 2nd week of potty training, we havn't had any problems with going pee, she hasn't had any accidents in some time, however she did have a poop accident this morning. :( I think it just kinda came and she didn't make it to the potty. I've moved the potty into the bathroom where it's suppose to be so that may be part of the problem. The bathroom isn't to far away but I think she was use to it being right there closee when she needed it. All in all I'm so proud of her and I'm not expecting her to be perfect all the time.

This week is hopefully going to be pretty laid back for us.. since we had Hailey last week I wanna lay low this week at home and get us back in our groove. :D I however we be seeing Harry Potter at midnight and I'm soo excited! All in all it's going to be a great week I'm sure!
