Home Sweet Home!

The people renting our house moved out, so we got to MOVE BACK HOME!! We are all so excited to be home. It seems so much bigger and nicer after living in a basement and small rental for a year! There is definately no better feeling than being home!

Brad 32nd Birthday

Brad turned 32 this year! We had a little party at his mom's and had his favorite taco dinner. I am so proud to be his wife and happy that we still have fun together!

Happy 10th Anniversary!

For our 10th anniversary this year I got Brad a new wedding ring (not even from a pawn store) and he got me a trip across the US in a helicopter. It was my first time in a helicopter EVER and it took us 20 hours of flying time, over a 4 day period. It was so fun and amazing. We went through 10 states: Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Oaklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and UT. It was so great to experience what Brad does for work and see the country at 500 ft above the ground.
Some things I learned:
-When people say that there are swamps in Fl they mean for hundres of miles there are swamps. The entire first day we flew over swamp land!
-Texas is HUGE! But also it is very FLAT! I never knew how flat it is.
-People are sincerely nice the further South East you go. People are still nice in the West, but not as genuine, more like they HAVE to be nice to you.
-Sulfer Springs, TX has nothing! Not a Taxi, shuttle bus, or anything! Don't Go there!
-Ruston, LA has the biggest rocking chair I have ever seen in my life! At least 50+ feet high!
-I love to TRAVEL
-AND THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOM!!!

Emily's First Haircut!

It has been a long time coming, but finally Emily got her first hair cut. It was very long and stringy and in desperate need of help. I took her into my wonderful stylist Jana and she fixed her up so cute! And since it had been a while, Izzy and MaKayla got their hair done too! It was like Exctreme makeover for my kids! Emily was so excited watching MaKayla get her haircut she couldn't wait for her turn!

She did so good and held so still (for about 5 seconds at a time) Jana did a great job with her!

The end result was PERFECT! A cute little A-line bob!

Izzy couldn't wait for her turn either, she hates her hair long cause it hurts so bad to brush it, so she wanted it all cut off short.

So she got a cute little bob too! SO Adorable!

MaKayla is still growing her hair long, she got her hair all trimmed up and looking so cute! She looks so grown up I can't believe it!

Emily's 2nd Birthday

Emily turned 2 in Feb. We let her relax and open presents as she wanted all day and play with them. I can't believe how big she is getting, she is so funny and sweet (most of the time) we are so proud of her!

Izzy's first quilt

Izzy got a sewing machine for Christamas and some fabric. She knew imediately she wanted to use it to make Emily a quilt for her birthday. I directed her and helped with the binding a little and she did ALL the rest. She even tied all but the center alone, she is a natural and it turned out so cute!
