MARCHing On...

Sometimes our happy-go-lucky

little guy does cry...

This time it was because HE wanted

to put his shoes on himself! ;)))

"ha ha mommy i won!!!"

He's always very quick to turn

back into his sweet self:)

And wins mommy back just.like.that!!!

But THEN...he sometimes has trouble

with hitting!  Here Dennis the Menace was

caught red handed!!!!!!!  Poor sister!:(

Of course he was acting out because

he didn't feel good;)))  hee hee!

That's what his grandmother said!!!

Big Huds has had more than his

fair share of ear infections. 

Even though a lot of the time

you wouldn't even know he had one. 

I'm not just letting him play with medicine

in these pics...I'm right there with him.

He's obsessed with getting lids off of things.

JEDI BROTHERS!!!

I LOVE raising two rough

and tumble boys!!!

The matching QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!

She can't be beat!:)))

Guest photographer...

My kids love to play games.
 It was SORRY this time...

"Let's go Mommy!"

Hudson LOVES Hadlee's Hello Kitty

purse that Aunt Kitty got for her.

Ella Bella LOVIN...cheeks and ALL!:)

Glancing up at his future bride;)

Twins...

Triplets;)))

This was cracking us up!!!

Could somebody PUH-leeeeeeze tell me

when MY baby grew up?!?

Sweet girls...

LOVE you, Hankeroo!!!!!

Hudson continues to love any type

of ball and especially wants to be

playing with whichever kind his

big brother is playing!!!

Down on one knee playing with

his baby bro!:))))

Guess what?  A guest photographer again................

SUCH a MESS!

I usually LAUGH OUT LOUD (LOL)

when I download pics and find a

series of pictures like this!!!

March 2nd was my 36th birthday.

The kids and daddy couldn't wait to give

me my presents and had to do it the night
before!  They were especially giddy

over one certain thing when Troy

brought it out.  I had a feeling it

had something to do with my Bieber Fever.

But to my surprise I opened the poster

and it was an Eclipse one?!?!?!?!? 

Totally NOT my thing!;)

Troy had grabbed this poster out

of the Bieber slot but it was in

the wrong spot!!!!!!!
They were crushed!:(  ha!

Walker, as usual, livened things up again;)))

And pretty much like that,

they were ALL out...in Mommy's bed, too!

I didn't even know my sweet students

 knew it was my birthday...

That afternoon my mother met Haddie,

 Hudson and I for lunch and a little shopping. 

My mother knew I wasn't real

thrilled about my birthday...

just didn't feel much like celebrating

with things not quite right

with Travis and our family. 

I cried off on and on all day long...

Travis has always been such a big

part of my birthday. 

In fact, last year he had to work

at Zeb's on my birthday so we

moved my birthday dinner there! 

As always, my mom brightened my day!

Mothers really do know best:)

Then later that afternoon when I got home...

my beautiful, incredible friends/hoodies

surprised me with the most amazing gift.

A Superman tin FILLED with a VERY 

generous amount of money to pay for

a few months of some crazy expensive

swabs that insurance was refusing to pay

for Trav's speech therapy.  These swabs 

are CRUCIAL to his healing 

and the hoodies wanted to make sure

that he could get them.

God bless their kindhearted,

thoughtful, and generous ways.

I am so blessed by them

and I love them like sisters.   

What's better on your birthday than just

spending time with your babies...

AND getting a fun cookie cake like this from them!!!

My family loves to celebrate each others'
birthdays.  It's such a great excuse to get
together and go out to eat.  I have not minded
celebrating any one else's birthdays
(like Macy & Logan's & my own kids)

like normal, but I just couldn't do mine this year.

Not without Travis.  I was happy to go eat

with just my family of five this year.

Lynna did NOT like this idea
and she insisted they join us!  ha!

The BIG 36!  Bring it!  I'm still so cool!  ;)))  ha!

Unfortunately during dinner, I got a call

that Travis had fallen at CNS and was having

to be taken to the ER and I had to tell Lynna.

(Crazy story why I was called)

Anyway, she had to rush out to drive

to Dallas.  Bless her heart.

So now here I am 36 years old!!!

Thankful to God for where I am at today and

most of all for SOOOOOOOOO

 very much in my life...

a wonderful husband, amazing children,

a supportive, incredible family and

the sweetest friends in the whole wide world. 

I am a lucky blessed girl!:)
