"Are you awake?"

Braden woke up from taking a nap yesterday and I went in his room to check on him. He was just laying there chatting. I said "Are you awake?" He said "No, not really.... God just ruined my nap." I asked him "How did God ruin your nap?" He said "Because he wouldn't talk to me. I always talk to him, but he never answers me." I tried to explain that God doesn't have to speak out loud to us. He speaks to our hearts. He just said "OOHH."

I am so truly blessed to have such amazing children.
Thank you God!!

Sunshine... Finally

After 21 days straight of nothing but rain... we finally had a beautiful day with SUNSHINE!!!!! We took the boat out and put out some trot lines and caught 7 catfish!! The kids were so glad to finally be outside. They wanted to swim so bad, but the lake is still way to cold to swim. It was a great day at the lake =)


Kali loves helping daddy with the trot lines

They wanted to jump in so bad....LOL

Braden decided to just swim in the boat!!

Kali Marie

Man... I just saw a fish THIS BIG!!!!

Traffic Jam Dilmma

On our way home from OKC on Mother's Day we had a little dilemma!! We got stuck in traffic on the turnpike in construction. We went 6 miles in ONE hour!! Brad and Braden had to pee REALLY REALLY bad. We were no where near an exit to get off. So.... Brad decides to pull off on the shoulder..... He took Braden down a hill, behind some trees.. in the rain.. to pee!!!! I am sure we were great entertainment for a few minutes.... LOL
(A dilemma is a situation in which a choice must be made between alternative courses of action or argument...... LOL )

Happy Easter!!

We had a great Easter weekend with family. We colored eggs at Grampy's and went to church with him. Then we went to Mangum and had lunch at Aunt Ann's... then on to Granite to hunt eggs at Aunt Shirley's!! The kids Uncle Hank also decided to suprise everyone and fly in from Chicago for the weekend. It was a very busy weekend, but we were very blessed to be able to spend it with family.


The Easter bunny came!!

Lots of goodies

Happy Birthday Kali!!

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!

Kali absolutely LOVED her room and her new quilt her Nana made!! She was VERY surprised!! She cried for about 15 minutes. Every minute I spent working to get her room done was well worth it just for her reaction when she saw it!!

Still a work in progress

I am still working on a few things and Nana is still hard at work on her quilt. It is slowly coming together!! It is BRIGHT and CRAZY ans she will absolutely LOVE it!!! She is all about making a fashion statement and BLING BLING ... LOL.

Kali's Birthday Surprise

Kali decided she wanted her room redone this year for her birthday instead of having a big party. So, I decided I would do it and surprise her!! She picked out bedding from Pottery Barn that is $300.00 and I told her that IF I bought it for her.. she would sleep in it until she is 35!!! Of course she said OK... but I said NO WAY!! I am not spending that much on a bed spread. So....... I went to several fabric stores and picked out fabric that was similar to the one quilt she wants. And then I talked her Nana into making her a quilt. The kids spent the week in Lone Wolf at their Mammy and Pappy's. I worked very hard all week painting and getting everything in her room perfect!! I hope she is VERY surprised!!
