A few things

Here are the boots Oakley got for her birthday. I forgot to take pictures of them the other day. She LOVES them and was way excited to have her own pair of cowboy boots!

Just a picture of me and Cade. Man I love this guy so freakin much!

 Kix being just like dad!

We were just hanging out last sunday and Kix came and climbed on top of me. Well within a couple minutes he was asleep! So I spent the next hour or so stuck like this while he had himself a nice nap!

Oakley's 7th Birthday

My little girl turned 7 yesterday! I can't believe that she is that old! I told her she could choose anything she wanted for dinner and she chose to go get pizza at the Pizza House. Then we came home and opened presents and had some cake. I love you Oakley, you make me so happy and I am so proud to be your mom!

Not my greatest cake, but it made her happy!

She was sooo excited to get a pillow pet! I don't think she has put it down since!

July Birthdays

The end of July we had a big birthday party for all of the July birthdays in our family. Mom used to be the only one, but in the last 3 years we have added 5 more! It was really fun to have everyone around (we missed you whitney). We had some pools out for the kids, had a BBQ, and opened presents. It was fun!

All the July birthday people

Opening presents

My ULTRA COOL brother!

Just chillaxin

My handsome dad

And beautiful mom

This is the cake I made for Kix for this birthday party. I thought it turned out so awesome! Thanks Tiffy for the idea!

Morgan and Cade decided to get into a frosting fight...I'm going to say that Cade won!

Thanks everyone for coming to the party and making it such a fun day! I love you all!

Oakleys Hair

My little Oakley has always had the prettiest, longest hair! She always gets comments wherever we go about how beautiful it is. And yes I am bragging about it! :) I did curlformers one day and then straightened it another. Here are some pics of how cute both ways turned out.

So I always trim her hair before school starts, and I was going to do that when she told me that she wanted to cut it all off! She was so excited to donate it to locks of love! I made her think about it for a week and when she still wanted to we made and appointment and went and cut it all off! It is so different, but super cute!  I am so proud of her for doing such an awesome thing! Thanks Crystal for cutting it for us!

That was one big, fat pony tail! She has the thickest hair ever!

It makes her look so much bigger to me!

It will be interesting to see if she still gets as many comments with it shorter. Or if it was mostly the length that people noticed. But her dark red color is the prettiest I have ever seen! I think she is beautiful no matter what kind of haircut she has!

Black Eye

Kix had a little fall on the 4th and ended up with a nice little shiner. It was pretty swollen that next day and then went a pretty green color! :) This kid of mine always has something going on....scrapes, bruises, and black eyes. Hopefully stitches and broken bones don't come next!

Swing Set

We bought the kids a swing set this year. They have been having a lot of fun on it!

 Gotta love these "cheesers"

I had to throw this picture in of them riding on the tractor.

This is probably the most used toy we have!





2 years old

Our little guy turned 2 earlier this month! I can't believe how fast time goes by. It doesn't seem like it was 2 years ago we brought this little guy into our family. And even though he is a "big boy" now he will always be my baby boy!

We had a birthday party for him at the BBQ on the 4th with Cade's family. I made him a dump truck cake and he had tons of fun opening his presents!

We got him this little red wagon and he jumped right in and was ready for rides!

He also had to eat his cake and ice cream in it!

Frosting face!

I love this little man of ours and I am so thankful that he is part of our family.
