High Cotton

This is a keeper

so is this one

and this one

I hope this is what Heaven looks like to Matt.
White cotton as far as he can see.
To say that we miss him would be an understatement
but because of the Lord's love for us,
we will see each other again someday.
I really want to make it to Heaven because there is
starting to be a lot of people up there that I really want to see again.

Great Wolf equals Great Time

We've been hearing Great Wolf this and Great Wolf that so we loaded up the kiddos and skipped town on Labor Day weekend. Which happened to be Dusty's long weekend, perfect timing.

The Lobby Fireplace

Kid's playground for Brier's sized kids. He only liked 2" and he could have gone on the big stuff with me and Dusty. :( Maybe next year. He cried and said he didn't want to be short no more. I told him. Me either.

I told Baylor to give me her best smile, this is what she threw out so I told her to try again...

and I got this so I told her fine, just swimming.

Completely worn out, her and me both. I highly recommend Great Wolf to anybody close to one.

Check out Sport Illustrated, Swimsuit Toddler Edition next month to see more of Baylor's trip.

Just like that...

my baby started school and he was NOT happy about it.

He survived and the hugs started

Then the gifts that we've been bribing him with. What?!?! Don't judge me. I had to do whatever it took to get him to go.

and my beautiful flowers my sweet sister-in-law Amy got me for surviving his first day of school.

Doesn't get much sweeter

I took this picture the other morning when I dropped my kids off at mom's. It looks so peaceful to me, like if you went and sat on that bench all your problems, worries, and heartbreaks would just go away.

dawg days of summer

I've developed Summeritis, I don't want to do much except sit on my back porch and enjoy the cool summer breezes in my rocking chair watching my kids run through sprinkler and jump naked on the trampoline. Doesn't get much better than sweet summer nights.

Until next time, stay cool.

Love/Hate Relationship

summer fun

Have baby, Will travel. I LOVE it!

I gave Dusty a slideshow DVD of pictures of him and the kids for Father Day. I didn't have as many of him with Baylor as I did of him and Brier. So I told him we had to change that for next year's slide show. And by the way that slide show was the best gift I could have ever given him. Don't tell him I told you but he was choking back tears, I could tell. Shhhh!

I think I'm going to do that for women next year for Father's Day gifts. It really was the best. I wish I could figure out an online hosting company that I could upload it in the format I've done it in to post here. I'll keep checking.
