New Baby Journey!

Journey Faith!

3/12/2012

This is one of my dear friend's baby girl.

Jessica has 4 older boys and she finally got this baby girl. She weighed 8.8 and 20 inches long.

She has her babies at birthing center and she only pushed for 8 mins. The babies cord also broke, but everything was fine....

Hannah could not get out of the chair, she loved to "pet" the baby!

Ahhhh, the love in the air....
Addy finally got to hold her!

Blessings on baby Journey!

Day One of Spring Break!

What a way to start of Spring Break!

In line with 10,000 other spring breakers at SIX FLAGS!

I knew it was going to be a really crazy day when I-20 was backed up just to exit Six Flags drive....

But we had a blast. We stood in line for 1 hour and 45 minutes to ride the Texas Giant, which I have to say was really fun and very scary. I rode it with my head all the way back touching the head rest and with one eye opened! But I am still young enough to ride that crazy ride!

We had a fun time, but my favorite part of that day was Papasittos!

This is Markelle, Brittany and Addy as we ate there!

Day 2 of Spring Break

This was my favorite day! Fort Richardson State Park in Jacksboro. We meet my Aunt Susan and Uncle Richard who were already camping up there for the week with their kids and grand kids. We took our lunches and stayed up there most of the day.

This state park has an awesome old Fort from the 1860's. Which still has the original hospital and several other buildings still standing. We have been up there several times and just love the whole park and the history behind it. So neat!

This is the front of the old hospital, which you can go in and tour...

Here is BB, Cousin Elizabeth, Jude, Hannah, Addy and Elijah.

This is where the prisoners where kept. you can still see the outline of each holding cell.

This is an old train depot from 1901.

This is an old bridge.

Yep that's BB headed up to the top.... Had I not told her to come down, she would have went to the top! Oh BB, you always give mom a Heart Attack!

This is camp...

Sisters!

This is Jude. He is the most laid back, sweet, gentle, 150% boy and he loves wheels! That is a good overall general description on this little man! So Fun to watch him play!

Wheels, Wheels and Wheels

Oh yeah and he loves mud! What kid doesn't.... LOL

So fun!

Hannah is tanning!

BB loves to ride....

They also have a beautiful park!

Get closer you guys!

Oh Hannah, thanks for showing us your tongue, with 3 its so hard to get that perfect pic!

I give up:)

SHHHHHHH! there might be a fish....

No just minnows, HA!

My BB!

Strike a pose!

Cheese!

So much fun! So looking forward to spring and summer!

These are such good times!

Day 3 of Spring Break

Well Spring Break kinda came to a halt!

BB ended up getting sick with strep throat, and so we are just resting the rest of the week. Which is good with me, I could get caught up on some things at the house. The plus side is that we did not miss any school!

"Poor BB, I wish BB was not sick, I need to play with her!"

Hannah's words! Love it!

We Love you BB!

Its a Family Affair!

Its Garden Time! We believe its safe to say Winter is over and so its time to plant our garden. Chuck tilled it and we let it set for a day or two allowing the sun to dry it out after our long and much needed rain:)

The girls planted okra, green beans, red and white potatoes and some onions.

We will wait on our tomato and jalapeno plants....

Everyone grab a partner.....

Brenley's favorite spot, in the dirt....
Hannah liked patting the seeds in.

Now we just have to wait and watch it grow!

SleepOver!

Girls, Girls and Girls!

The only one missing is BB! Addy had some girls spend the night and this was the next morning!

Poor Chuck!!! That might have been why he left at 5:30AM to go fishing.... poor guy! I don't blame him! LOL

I have a TEENAGER in the HOUSE!

Happy Birthday to the Greatest Teenager I know!

Yes, Addy my baby girl has turned 13! I think I am still in Shock!

We had a HUGE Surprise Birthday for her with 13 of her friends at Olive Garden Friday night.

She had no idea, it was so perfect, the look on her face was priceless:)

She was so Happy to see her friends. She was thinking that it was just her family!
Opening her gifts!

Then they made her dress up like a duck and walk around the whole restaurant... So Funny!

Poor Chuck, he was smack dab in the middle of the chaos of girls.

Before....

After....

You can see Chuck falling to the ground... HaHa!

Then to top off the night, another friend of hers was also having her birthday dinner in FWorth and her mom had gotten her a limo so they decided to come and pick up this rowdy bunch and drive them to the movies!

These girls screamed so loud, it was Crazy!

It was such a fun night! I was so glad Addison had a wonderful Surprise. I enjoyed hanging out with them until 1:oo in the morning!

Good Times for sure!

Then Saturday we had the Family Birthday party!

Sharon my friend made an Awesome Cake!

Then Sunday her actual Birthday, Chuck and I took her to Papasittos for her special Purity Ring Ceremony!

That was the most neatest, Proud and special moment of my life!

After watching the movie Courageous, it touched Chuck and I to give Addison a purity ring and just let her know that we trust her and that if she would trust us with her heart we would take care of her until she marries that man God has for her and to remain pure until that day!

Chuck and I are so honored that the Lord with give us such a special daughter to raise and to cherish! These are the moments you wish you could freeze time!

We Love you so much Addy!

Happy Birthday and Blessings on you all year!

True Love Waits!

Have a beautiful week!

And let everything that has breath praise the LORD!

:)

Sisters!

What a great group of Girls!

This was before church yesterday morning and it was so nice and feeling like spring! Loving this weather so much. We are at such a great age with all the girls. Addy turning 13, Brenley about to be 8 at the end of this month, and Hannah 3. They all get a long pretty well. The two youngest fight the most, and mostly over silly and senseless things. But I try to deal with each fight diligently and get them to make up. But they all get along more than not. As different as their ages are, I try to make them as close as they can be.

Chuck and I are so blessed to have 3 Independent, Self-sufficient, smart group of Ladies!

This was lunch last week at BB's school!

Crazy Gals!
