We had a good time. It was the first time that we could have a party at our home. We had 53 Friends and family that come to see little Gavin on is big day. It was all good but Gavin was not feeling good and at the and he got sick. Not the way we hoped it would be but we all had a good time.

He was not to sick to kiss. Sorry I know the photo is not a good one but I had to put it on.
I am going to bad. the boys have there first day of school tomorrow so I will have a post on it.

Happy b-day Gavin.

Our little Gavin is 2. He is getting so big so fast. Gavin has a way to make a bad day in to a good day. I love to see how he is growing more and more every day but is also sad. He likes to try to did every thing that the big boys do. Gavin we all love you.
We have a lot of photos from his party I will put on SOON.

A Day off from the new house.

I feel like this is all we have been doing. Look at little Gavin he is a big help.Tylar look just like his day in this photo. .Christian do all of this wall (with some help) and he will tell you that he did it.

So the boys and I needed a day off. We want to the Zoo today what some of our friends and there kids. There was 3 moms and 9 kids. All the kids were soooooooo good. We tried to get a good photo of all the kids but we only could get some of them.

Who do you admire most?

I would say that I most admire my dad. My dad died 7 years ago and I miss him a lot. He was the one that I could go to and know that no matter what I did he would love me. I look at my boys and I see my dad this is so funny because I am adopted. I would be one happy mom if my boys grow up to be like my dad. I want to grow up to be like my dad too:)

My favorite cousin on my hubby's side in Ohio would have to be Brittany and Jim because they are the only ones that I talk to but I love them all.

I am back and this is long.

SORRY we have been on vacation. I will stare with telling you about the week before our vacation. Travis' uncle came in town for work so we got to see him. The boys had a good time with him and he taught them a new thing. Can you guess what it was? It was how to put their finger in their nose. Now you can see why my boys love him (and we love him to), he is a cool uncle. Here is a photo of Christian and uncle Micah.
We had a lot going on this week. One of the big things is that Christian got his ear pierced, Yes I only said Christian. Tylar did not want his ear pierced. This made Dad and I happy because it is one of the first things that they have done different. Here is a photo of Christian's ear.

The boys also had there first hot dog and kool-aid sale. They did a good job and made $30.
Gavin helped also. He would get the hot dogs and run and eat them! I have a lot more going on but I need to go to bed so I will put more on soon.

A new home!

We are buying are first home. We have been in a two bedroom one bathroom Apartment for the last 6 years. As you know we have three kids so two bedrooms is just to small. So I should be so happy, but I am so stressed out. There is a lot to buying a house. We had a hard time finding a house that was in the neighborhood and that was a good pries. We did find one but it needs a lot of work. It has 21/2 bathrooms and 4 bedroom. Just the house for us. I am the kind of person that likes to have thing done in my time and as you all know that is not how buying a house works. So pray for me that I do not get to stressed out. We will close on the 11th of July of all goes will. Here is a photo of the new house.

I will put more on as I know more.
