Father's Day

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Father's Day!!

We spent the day...

 at the park...

 rolling...

 down...

 the hill...

and...

 carving our initals in a tree...

finding...



 a heart shape in other trees!!

Finding snails,

 and crawl dads by the creek!

One of us wore tennis shoes...

and balanced across the creek!

While others...

put their cute little flip flops right in the water!!

Enjoying every minute of the day with...

Daddy!!

We were so grateful that we had the afternoon to glance over a fence...



listen to water falling...

walk on a trail...

and Thank God for what He has given us!!

Wednesday night scrimmage!!!!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME

BASEBALL?!

We are...

er...

We WERE...

until this blasted white S**T, er...

STUFF

showed up today!!!

I've been told twice today that this WILL in fact be the last snow of the season!!!  Are you kidding me??

It is 1 1/2 days away from April!!!

It BETTER be the last snow of the season!!!

If not....please be kind and spread the word....

Very cute, almost new, but slightly used, 3 full bathrooms, 5 bedroom ranch on 5+ acres for sale!!!  New owners must LOVE snow!!

I have the weekend off...

I woke up to the sun shinning!!

Not quite like this sunrise....

However the good news is...

the sun is shinning!!!

I woke up to my lovie acting CrAzY!!!

Not this kind of CrAzY...

More of a March Madness CrAzY!!!

(Thanks OSU) :(

I woke up this morning being swept off my feet!!!

Not this kind of swept off my feet...

More of a smell of coffee (already made), knowing laundry was being done (not by me) swept off my feet!!

I woke up this morning feeling blessed!!

Blessed that I am part of such an amazing family!!

And I have the weekend off and get to spend it with them!!!

Even if we are not walking across a beautiful beach...

We are together!  We are loved!  We love!

One Blessed Woman!!!

"Momma when I grow up I am going to be a Fireman!!!  And I will SAVE the city!!!  When Bubby grows up he is going to be a Police Officer, and when I am bad....he will arrest me!!!"

 He is SO stinkin' cute!!!

 "Hey Cash, you want to sit with Mommy and I and watch this movie?"

"Sorry Allie, No Can Do...I'm watchin' the race with my Dad!!"

 She is SO darn pretty!!!

 "Mommy is Austin asleep?"

"Yes, Cash he is!"

"GOOD!!!  Can you not wake him up for a long time so I can play his Xbox and he won't yell at me?"

 He is SO handsome!!!

...and me...I am one blessed woman!!!

Pictures and our new additions!

As promised....here are some pictures!!!

I threw this one of Bryer in, its not new....but O so cute!!!  He is just getting so big!  I will do a post on him soon!!  For now you can enjoy this one!!!!

I literally ran threw the house tonight, after picking up Allie and Cash and  taking AJ to baseball practice, cleaning the garage, and eating dinner...and snapped a few pictures!  Not great ones!  But those will come!!!

  My Austin!!!!

Princess Allie!!!

 

Chuggie!!

 

Vader!

 He was a gift from Santa!!  He is a bearded dragon!  Vader is really cool to watch, but does not take good pictures!  Partly because he moves really quick and partly because I don't take him out of his tank!  So this is taken through the glass :)

 

Kolbi!! 

 Kolbi is Johnny's puppy!!  He is so very proud of her!  She is part lab, part collie!  She is really cute and minds very well!!  She poops A LOT and she lives in the garage!!  This picture is deciving, because I let her in the house to get the picture!  No kidding, 3 shots into the "photo shoot" she pooped on the floor!!  Bad puppy!!!  Back outside she went :)

If your lucky maybe I will be back again tomorrow with some more pictures and for sure some Cash quotes!!  However I like to keep everyone on their toes waiting so just keep checking back!!!!

Catching up!

Are you shocked? I am!! Shocked that I have let so much time go by!!! I do apologize!! You see being a Momma of 3 VERY busy children, plus having a full time job, leaves little to no time for blogging!! I am learning a new life style now! Juggling kids, all of their activities, a house, dinner, a job, a husband and all the un-expected...whew!! It sure has been...well still is a learning experience! I am loving every second of it!! My job is so rewarding!! In so many ways! The fact that I am able to help, care for, love my residents is a reward in itself! Meeting new friends has been great! Not that I don't love my "circle" but coming out of my "circle" has led me to some AMAZING, truly wonderful friends!! I worked so hard through October-December and it paid of! I am now a full time employee, with benifits! I didn't need them, because Johnny has great benifits! Although we have never had dental or life insurance and now we do!! I am so proud of myself for finding something that I love! Now enough about me.... Austin: he is turning into quite the young man! He wears more cologne in a week than most men wear in a year :) Johnny is trying to tell him that less is more...yet every morning I feel like my house is the Hollister store!! He still continues to do very well in school! He had a great fall baseball season. We watched him actually come out of his shell in wrestling! And is now starting Club baseball for the school. Still an incredible big brother, and almost as tall as me! Allie: she is still the little princess!! Probably always will be! She also continues to do very well in school! She is not quite as active in sports as AJ. But loves her softball, and reading books! She is playing the trumpet for the 5th grade band! We are very lucky that she likes to practice with her door...closed :) No really at her winter concert, she did very well! She enjoys it, and that is what matters! This past weekend she and I went shopping! I have to tell you...she is quite the shopper!!! Like mother, like daughter! Cash: I know you have all been missing his little quotes!! I can't wait to post some!! Cash is full of life! The most energetic 4 year old I know! He loves his brother and sister...when they give him what he wants and play what he wants, when he wants, by his rules...period! Sad, although peaceful thing is...they do what he says! Ah who am I kidding! This is my blog why should I lie...WE ALL DO WHAT CASH SAYS!!! Cash spends his time with Papaw LaFever while I work!! They are great buddies!! And when Papaw LaFever can't keep him, he goes to Papaw Berkeley's and gives him a laugh or two!!! Cash keeps me on my toes and makes me tired :) Johnny: Still working! Thank God! Spends every other weekend playing Mr. Mom while I work. He does a GREAT job at this!! He has done more laundry since September than he has done our entire marriage!! Not to leave out that he cleans the house, cooks dinner, and is one heck of a grocery shopper!!! Okay, next blog I will post some new pictures!! We have 2 new additions to our family since I last blogged! And for sure some cute Cash quotes!!!

I'm Baaaaaaaack :)

Has it really been 2+ months since I last posted?!

Sorry to all who have been checking in! We have been some busy people!

If I thought you all had daaaaaays to hear about our last 2+ months I would give you the long version...I know you don't! So, here it is....

Our family has a TEENAGER!!!! Austin turned 13 in April! He is still the same Austin, with a little bit of teenage attitude!!!

Our family also has a 10 year old!!!! Allie turned 10 last week! She is still the same Allie, with a little bit more sass!!!

Happy Be-lated Mother's Day to all of the Mom's out there! I know I am blessed to have a Wonderful Mom!! And a Wonderful Mother -n- Law!!! In May I celebrated the BIG 33!!! I am still the same Kate, trying to be young at heart!!!

Also in May, I am very proud to tell you that I passed my state test and now I am officially an STNA, or a Nurse's go-getter!!! I am looking forward to continuing school, maybe in the fall, to reach an RN within the next couple years!!!

I have been working at the nursing home since April! I love it! I love the people I work with and I love my residents and I LOVE MY JOB!!!

On June 16, 2010
