They have blessed our lives, more than they will ever know!

This is a picture of two of the most Godly people I know.  Greg and Kim Byrd.  Greg was our Pastor in Texas and they were called to become missionaries and are now in Mexico.  This beautiful family is a very big part of our lives and we miss them greatly.  Greg and Kim have prayed with us, cried with us and are great inspiration of what God can do in a life!  I know I can always call on them whenever I need them.  I can't put into words how much I miss them.  I know these two people have been on their knees for us!

I love you guys!!

To you, my loyal readers........whoever you may be....  WELCOME!  feel free to comment!

much needed perfect weekend!

What a great weekend we had.  Daddy was home, we went to Chuckie Cheese, played outside and made flower headbands!!!
The sun was shining, the wind light and it was about 65 degrees!!!!  Just a really good weekend!!  I know I said that before but we rarely get Daddy ALL weekend!

 She liked this and the horse the best!

 Allison did not want to get off, she held on and screamed when we tried to get her off!!

 Vince still doesn't quite understand the games but he did get a lot of tickets.

 I guess I could have let Mark in the picture huh    hey, he was holding the camera!!! 

 I don't remember what we were looking at. 

 Vince's little friend Matthew came to visit. He just loves Vince's 4 wheeler.  we tied the wagon on and they had a blast.

We sat in the grass and the kids ran around us just laughing and having a great time.  Vince and Allison kept bringing me these flowers so I decided to make this!  I took about 15 pictures but she would not look at me! She 's busy watching the boys!  SHEESH.


I am almost finished with Allison's room, I am sending Mark to get her dresser later today but I'm not sure when he'll be here.  I am so excited!  I still need a few fillers but I hope to have it done soon.  Mark calls it her  "so girly it makes you wanna puke" room.   He loves it and he knows it!  I really miss East TX, It sure would be great to go to First Monday!!   I would kill to shop my vintage, shabby chic butt off!!!!

 She has been tilting her head like this a lot.

 I just love love love this smocked dress.  Notice the bunny, she loves this bunny.

 But Mommy, I neeeeddd  some hair!!!  She has the most annoying pitiful way of letting you know she's upset.  This girl is such a bratty drama queen.  What the problem really was is that the bad one Vince was taking her bunny away.  He flopped it back down on the table but she gets really angry at him when he touches it. 

 Running in circles on the deck waiting to go meet Daddy at Chic- Fil- A   and shopping for socks and undies at Target!  Allison ate a lot and Vince played a lot.  Then off to target. We went for socks and undies for the kids but came out with scrapbook stickers, 2 shirts, a fly swatter (much needed) the dogs next door use the back yard as a giant toilet that never gets picked up "go" outside and there are flies everywhere!  If you know me at all, i HATE flies!!!   Anyway, we got the undies, socks, an adorable bolster pillow with cute ribbon ends and little birdies (clearance from 19.99 to $ 4.00!!!!)  Mark just rolled his eyes at it when I showed him.  We got toothpaste, tooth brushes,  and a lot of other crap we really didn't need.

 She looks like such a big girl. 

 Vince is getting so big and looking like a young man.

 Like my wheels?

 Hey, Hey,  wanna pick me up?

 Still running

 He fell asleep like this and I thought it was tooo funny. ( Don't look at my vacuum, I never put it away.)

 Toaster strudel!

Thinking of a way to make a big mess but still eat most of it.


Well folks, the kids have awakened from peaceful slumber so I gotta go hide my wine finish my day.

Goodies from Kansas!

Thank you Ma'Maw and Pa Pa  Floyd  for the goodies!!
The quilt is so precious, Ma'Maw did a beautiful job.

A few pictures from this week

Allison ready for Vince's 4 year check up (she almost always points her toes like that!).  When we got to the Doctor' office she nearly climbed up Marks neck!  Poor thing.  She hid under the exam table when Dr. Rosser came in.  He's really a cute great doctor!

Anyway, Vince got 4 shots and a clean bill of health! 

 He really wanted to sport this nappy hairstyle to the Dr. but mommy said no and we got a comb.

 I love this picture! wish she didn't have that nasty passie!

 Vince started Mothers day out at a local church and he goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-2.  I took this much needed mommy time  opportunity to teach Allie boo how to nap in her OWN bed.  Gee, with Vince gone she took right to it! My little devil angelic, sweet, dream come true, daughter of mine now sleeps in her bed from 7:30pm until the butt crack of dawn 6:30 am. and 2 hours a day nap usually around 11:30 or 12.

 She LOVES LOVES did I mention LOVES her Pottery Barn bunny.  She puts it's foot on her eye to sleep!!!!  really, look deep into the plethora of pink and you can see it.  IT IS ALWAYS on her eye like that!  I really need to get her another one, this one is only 6 months old and it looks as if she's had it the entire  15 months of her life!!!

 Vince is a master picture messer upper face maker.  He has a trillion of them and uses them on a daily basis.

I have no idea why she looks so sad........breaks your heart doesn't it?  love the tiny little clasped hands and pointy toes.

Just in case you didn't know or were wondering!
