A sibling? I think NOT!

I love to cook nice family dinners and have us all sit at the table and talk and eat and enjoy a great dinner with my boys. It's one of those simple things in life that I love. It's goes along with a full fridge and pantry and laundry being done and hanging in closets and put in drawers. Not that I'm good at doing all the above mentioned stuff but I like it when it gets done.

Last night I made a wonderful dinner! It was like it was thankgiving early! I made a whole chicken,(dang bird even came with the kneck) that I seasoned to perfection, and fresh corn on the cob and a green bean casarole with home grown green beans. Ahh, the perk of having farmers and ranchers bank with you and me being the nice gal I am they shared.

So last night as we are sitting around the table, after Andrew said the prayer and Austin repeating the last word of every sentence, enjoying the sound of the mmmm's and the ahhh's.
Andrew says out of no where, "I think you guys need to have another baby!" I swear I saw a green bean shoot out of Paul's nose when he said that, and I slightly choked a bit. I asked him, "and why do you think we need another baby?" He says, "I just want another brother to play with." "I don't think so buddy, momma and daddy like it just the way it is around here." To which my smart alike child says, "Okay, I'll take a sister then, I guess I could deal with a sister."

We didn't really know what to say after that. We just told to him eat his dinner and after that he could go out to ride his bike. Thankfully he hasn't brought it up again.

There's a new girl in my life.. Move over Sussa!

The great thinking Poppy!

Oh, My you people are sooo B-O-R-I-N-G!

Light of my life!

And here she is just a doll!

So this is the new girl in my life and she gets prettier everyday! These pictures are some that Sussa send my phone everyday... now she's forced to humor me and send me daily pictures of Poppy.

I love that gal! Sussa and Poppy and Uncle Jon (with no hair) are in Gorgia and I don't like them being that far away. Be careful guys!

Gonna make this weekend a fun one!

There are going to be so many good things done at our house this weekend!
We are taking the kids and Andrew's best friend Lizzie to Spalshway waterpark on saturday! Andrew has finally figured out how to ride his bike without training wheels so there will be bike riding and BBQing and as much fun as we can pack in!
Both Paul and i are off this weekend which is rare so we are gonna make a great time of it!
I'm so excited to spend this time with the kids and to see them having so much fun is gonna be awsome!

A very sad weekend...

As most people know our cat "Kitty" had 3 kittens.
Well this weekend 2 of them passed away and are now in "Kitty Heaven" with Jesus.
It was a terrible and sad weekend for us.

I will spare you guys the details but i tried my beast to save them, including giving a kitten mouth to mouth. Thankfully the boys didn't see the gore of part of what happend but we are all still so sad to have lost these two kittens. May they rest in peace...

Hopefully this last one will be okay and we can keep her.

Shenanagans part 2!

BABY POPPY IS HERE!!!

Finally after a long wait Baby Poppy is here! She was born May 22 at 2:19pm and is healthy and happy and soon to be spoiled rotten! Poor Sussa had a tough time getting out and they used the vacuum to get her out. Poor girl had a rough ride out to see this great big world and had some breathing problems but nothing that hanging out with her Momma and Annie can't fix.

I got the privaledge of staying with Melissa on friday night and we had way to much fun together for just having a baby. It was Poppy's first slumber party! we had tons of fun and shenanagans... hehe I know I spelled that wrong but it sounds funny...hehehehe

Here are a few good pictures of the hospital stay.
