Halle's Party

This past Saturday we went to Em's little friends party at a horse ranch in town. The girls had a blast, they took turns riding horses for about 1 hour, then they had a hay ride, hot dogs, cake and horse fun. The only bad thing was that Saturday a cold front came in and it was cold, and the wind was blowing, but my girls didn't seem to mind. They loved riding and petting the horses. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy. Special thanks to Kierstyn who remembered to bring her camera and took these pictures for us. I remembered, but didn't do it at that time and we didn't' realize we didn't have a camera until we drove up to the place. Thanks Kierstyn, these are great pictures!

Valentines Package From Granny and Pa Paw

This past Valentines day the kids got a package from my parents in the mail. They were excited to see what was in there. They each got a card, some clothes, and a movies about horses, which we watched that night. It turned out to be a really good film called "Second Chances." Here are some pictures of the action.Baby B with his card. He liked to eat his. The girls got ones that sing.

Here is a picture of their shirts and cards.
Thanks Granny and Pa Paw

Random Pictures

Here are some pictures of the last few weeks of the kids.

I have been looking for a baby bicycle seat that would go on my bike that Baby B and El can ride in, one for mine and one for B-daddy's. I was at Wal-mart after Christmas looking at things and came across them for $12 each. I snatched 2 of them. Later on when I was in the other Wal-mart I saw them in the bike section and they were over $30/each. Needless to say I was excited for my find. So B-daddy put them on this weekend and we went riding in our neighborhood. We were gone for over an hours. Em did good keeping up on her bike. And this is how Baby B felt about the whole situation!

El came in today and told me she was a cowgirl! She dressed her self, can you tell? The hat makes her a cowgirl!

She has done very well on the potty training issue. She is very stuburn, and I know she can do it. I told her that Mrs. Jamee doesn't want babies in her class and if she doesn't potty in the potty then she can't go to preschool in Mrs Jamee's class next year. I know what you are thinking preschool is in late Sept, but you have to understand nothing was getting through to her and I know she can do it. I am tired of buying pull ups and diapers for her. This past Friday was a day for the moms to go to preschool and have a valentine lunch with the preschoolers. So we all went to eat with Em. I told Jamee that it was working pretty good so far. El has had 1 accident a day, beacuse she was playing too long and loves to wear her new Dora panties she picked out. Jamee told EL that she was proud of her and that she could go to preschool next year if she keeps it up. El was on the potty later that day and she told me she was a "big girls, because Big girls get to go to Mrs Jamee's class."

This is for you Becky!

Ok Becky, I am finally posting some pictures of our home. The first picture is of the living room. The right side is the girls room, baby B's room and a jack n jill bath between their rooms. The Left side is a guest bath, guest room and a door to go up stairs for future growth.Living Room view from the island. That is Baby-B's head, he was sitting on the island doing a breathing treatment. He is now too big to sit in his Bumbo, he knows how to get out on his own.

Kitchen view from the living room, pardon the pantry door being opened. The opening to the Rt is to the garage, utility and the master room and bath.

Daddy Daughter Dance

B-Daddy took Em to the Daddy Daughter Dance at the Children's Museum this past Friday. Em was really excited to go. They had a great time. El can't wait to go next year, she told her daddy that she wants to go to the dance and get some flowers to go on her dress also. Next year he will be taking 2 little princesses. This years theme was a "Night of Enchantment." They had Cinderella, Bella and Sleeping Beauty there. Em was all excited when she came home that night!

Scoop

Ok, so here is the scoop. B-daddy and his business partner John have worked out a deal to buy one of the Re/Max Franchises in town. We had to wait till yesterday to say anything since none of the agents knew about it yet. Yesterday was their official first day.

The amazing thing is that they were going to try to put another franchise in, but that door was closed. So they started looking at options. This Re/Max had 5 owners and we were told that maybe 3 would be willing to sell. When they approached them they all came back saying they all wanted to sell! What a praise!!

We are excited to see what God has planned for us in this business. We think that a few of the agents are not pleased with this decision, but we know that God is in control and he will work out what needs to be worked out. Overall most of the 20 agents seem happy about the change.

Pray that B-Daddy and John will have guidance and wisdom on how to handle situations that will come up. May God be glorified in all our decisions!!
