Monday Memories

Here is Samantha with one of her great ideas

Thank girl is so creative

I look forward to years to come and what she ends up doing...

For her slumber party she wants me and her me me to do everyones hair

So

She wanted me to style it a variety of ways and take pictures

So then there can be a slide show that everyone can pick from

Here is one of eight styles

Love that Baylen and Bo play so well together while I am getting dinner ready

Well, atlest right here they are....

Love the little parade of animals that Baylen has done

Bo said

This is so much better then watching tv because my brain does not turn to jello

Three more of Samantha's creations for her invites...
Choir Program...Bo sang his little heart out
He wanted cookies at the end

Sam getting an award for going to atlanta and singing with a group at the choral festival

Daddy and Piper after the Doggie Dash

She ran in honor of Walker...fighting for a cure for cancer

So proud of her

The only dog that beat her was name Riley

pretty amazing....and that dog Riley

was born the same week Riely passed away last year....

Start of the race

Baylen saw that Bo had a stick

so he got one too

the biggest one out there

He was even making the same sounds that Bo makes

I love this picuture

look at Baylens face

One of my favorites of him!

Got rid of the stick right after this shot

I think you can tell what he is about to do

After the doggie dash we went to an art festival

Here are the kids making fun things from HomeDepot

Baylen is doing his own thing in the back ground

The library had a birthday party

the cake was yummy

Bert thought so too

Baylen carries Bert most places

Here are the kids reactions after I tried to take them into the storytelling room

for a music jam

Sam: "Really mom, no, really?"

Bo: "Ah, I am so not going in there..do you think we are babies?"

I was rolling I was laughing SO hard....

Here come the tears

Samantha and her friend Savanaha before their first dance

Barrow Elementary Dance for Relay for Life

Sam was dancing for grammy and walker

She looks SOOO pretty here

I know I am partial,

but really

she is precious

When I picked her up she said it was the most fun she had had in her LIFE

she was so red...

Sam brought home ramsey the ram from shcool

She loved to pose her

Field Trip to the fire station with Bo's class

There actually was a real fire

Great trip

I loved being with Bo

Treasure the times when your kids want you on a field trip

Down time with Piper

Enjoying some cake

Here is what can happen in five seconds...

Clean room...walk out

crash

walk in

yes

wow!

Samantha's tickets that she has earned

She never wants to spend them

I love this system that we have been using

The kids get a ticket at the end of the day if they do all of their chores

they owe me a ticket if they do not

They also earn tickets for doing extra work or beign extra good

they can also loose them for not so good behavior

Then

They can use the tickets to have friends over...go to special places etc

Each ticket also is valued at 50 cents so they can add them up to buy things

Working for a while now

Pretty cool you can go to Lego.com and get patterns to make cook stuff with lego's

Here is my clown...the kids were kinda impressed

Many Blessings

Many Many Blessings
To many to count

that is why I just tell God

thank you

through out the day

all day

We just journey together

It is quite a journey

and I am finding how much better it is

when you let Him drive

instead of fighting for the wheel

I may not like or agree with the road we are one

But Everytime I look back at the trip

I get it

and apprecaite it

and know that we must keep moving forward

and smile
