This is what happens when Abbi is in charge

Abbi was "watching" her little brother while we watched a movie. They usually behave and get along and almost always get into something. This time is was hair gel....

Christmas in January

December was a busy month for us we were all over the place. We spent Christmas in Branson and had an awesome time but there was still one more Christmas to be had. We went to Dardanelle to have Christmas with Aunt Carla, Uncle Tom, and Granny. Abbi and Jackson love going to Dardanelle. They get to run wild and of course their favorite cooking with Aunt Carla.
We exchanges gifts with everyone and the kiddos racked up. Jackson got a Razorback football uniform. That was the best gift ever!!! He was so excited and surprised. He hasn't really taken it off since he got it. Abbi loves plastic/rubber bracelets with funny sayings on them. These are got ticket items and very hard to find, but Aunt Carla accomplished her mission. Abbi
got a box full of bracelets and earrings.
We are very blessed to be surrounded by family, mine and Brandon's. I couldn't be more pleased to have my kids grow up with family.

I Love these Faces!!

No matter how often they talk back, throw fits, or fight with each other.... I love them! I love them to the end of the earth and back, to the moon and back, to infinity. Life catches up with us and days pass, but I'll never forget to tell these absolutely perfect kiddos how much I love them!

Here we go again!

I am pretty sure for the last two years I said that I was going to be better at blogging. So, I've decided that I am going to look at this from another angle... I am going to be better at blogging for my kids... There, I can't screw up right? Well wish me luck.

Fun with Friends

Every weekend we get together with friends and their kiddos. Sherrice and Cryssie went to school with me at John Brown. We built an instant connection and have been friends every since. We are sisters by choice, therefore making our kids cousins. They are definitely growing up together. Sherrice has Spencer and Cryssie has Tabitha and Chloe. The ages range from 4 to 11. Most of the time Abbi and Spencer seclude themselves and the others run ragged. Here are a few pics from our get togethers.



Chloe has many talents.



Dirty little cuties.



He does bathe, I promise. ;-)

Jackson didn't make it all night. He fell asleep in Spencer's bed.

Woo Pig Sooie!

We LOVE Razorback football. This year we bought a tailgate pass for the home games. We tailgate with a large group at Pratt Place Barn in Fayetteville. It's beautiful and it has real toilets!! We don't have season tickets so we buy them at the stadium. This time Abbi and I sat across the stadium from Brandon and Jackson. We were both lucky enough to sit close to friends.

Cooking with Carla

We took a trip to Dardanelle to throw Brandon's Grandma a suprise 75th birthday party. It was a perfect weekend. Abbi and Jackson love going to Aunt Carla, Uncle Tom, and Granny's. They play with the cows, gather eggs from the chickens, run from roosters and help Aunt Carla cook. We are always treated to a traditional Sunday morning breakfast. Eggs fresh from the chickens, homemade biscuits with gravy and Abbi's favorite chocolate gravy. Here are some pics from Abbi and Jackson cooking with Aunt Carla.
