BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!

I'm getting the best birthday gift ever! My nephew is going to be born today! YIPPIE!
I'll post more later!

Birthday already?

It seems like just yesterday I celebrated my 30th birthday and while that was the milestone 31 seems a bit harder to swallow. When I turned 30 I declared that "my 30's would be even better than my 20's" and my 20's were great. So today (the day before my birthday) I have done a lot of thinking about my 20's and the things that I have done with the 1st year of my 30's to make this decade better.


In my 20's I:


~Got married

~Bought my first home

~Had Morgan


~Bought my 2nd home

~Had Claire


Those were the high points.




There are a few big things I accomplished this year.

~ I lost 20 lbs

~ I went back to school

~I watched Morgan graduate from pre~k


I think those are a good start. I have a few goals for my 30's and they are:

~Finish school and become a nurse

~Build or buy a new home

~Adopt a little boy

I don't know what the future holds for me but one thing I do know is God is in control of my life and I know he has great things in store for me!!

We celebrated my birthday early because my sister was due on the 19th and she thinks her doctor might induce her tomorrow (22nd) on my actual birthday. It would be very cool if he were born on my birthday or the day after (the 23rd is our grandma's birthday)
Here is a picture of me all dolled up for dinner!

And of course no blog would be complete with out a few pictures of my kiddo's. These are some from the zoo a few days ago.

Morgan's Pool Party

Morgan turned 5 two weeks ago but we just had her birthday party on Saturday. We rented the WT pool and them we went to the park for cake & gifts. It was a huge success, the kids loved it! I would say it is her best party yet!! Here are some pictures from the days festivities!

Our 1st Week of Summer!

The first week of summer has come and gone quickly but we had a great time!! We played all week and did very little house work, it was fun but I can't do that every week no matter how much I'd like to!




Here are a few shots of our fun!

We rode scooters, bikes, and buggy's in our P.J.'s!
So much fun!!

We had tea parties with real water!Thankfully it was warm.

We had slumber parties with sisters!

(I told them to pretend to be asleep, Claire thought it was too funny!)

That's better but the smiles are still there!

We are going to have so much fun this summer! I hope you like pictures because there will be many more!

Blessings to you through your summer!

Birthday & Graduation!!

Morgan's pre~K graduation was last week and she turned 5 on Sunday. My baby girl sure is growing fast. I remember her first night home from the hospital she cried all night so I called my mom and she came over and slept with Morgan on the couch so I could rest. (of course Morgan went right to sleep with my mom) When Morgan was 9 months old I had her at the doctors office and I saw her watching a little boy walking( I could tell she was thinking if he can do that so can I) when we got home she took her 1st steps! She spoke in sentences when she was 18 months old and has been learning things so fast ever since. Anyway yesterday we were at the park and she jumped from the platform to the 2nd rung on the monkey bars! She said I can do it because I'm 5 now mom. She also yells theres my school every time we pass Bivins. I sure love that girl!!

My favorite part of graduation was when I got to speak a blessing over Morgan! (if you look close you can see a tear in my eye)

Mother's day in OKC!

We went to Oklahoma for Caleb's grandma's 80th birthday! It was a good time. Only in Oklahoma can you get ticks standing in a parking lot. (not me, Caleb) On Mother's day we headed to the Zoo! I had a great day and got the sweetest card from the girls! It was a perfect day!
