And at first glance one might think that Andrew is turning and Daddy is falling but the real truth is that Daddy was trying to pick something up while the 5 year old was driving the lawn mower...Even though the picture is blurry I think it is a great picture...

Daddy decided to mow the yard the other night and Andrew told him he wanted to help and really wanted to drive so he got too and was very excited to be helping dad..

And the great Rock Thrower was down for the count dreaming of bigger rocks to throw and who to throw them at besides the water ;)

Crashed in a matter of minutes after we got back from fishing and had his bath. Dreaming of more bigger fish ;)

The sun was sitting so we headed to the house with the kiddos and Andrew wanted me to take a picture of the sunset so I did. It was pretty that night out in the pasture.

My boys doing what they love to do...FISH..Andrew reeling in another 10 pounder.

Most Time

This is how Madison spent the fishing trip bent over finding the biggest possible rocks that she could carry and then getting as close to the water as she could to chunk them in...

Another One

Here is his other 10 pound fish..... lol

10 Pound Fish

When you see Andrew ask him about his 10 pound fish
that was this long. He got to where he would take them
from Daddy and then release them.

Biggest One

This was about the biggest that he caught on the bass...Andrew loved to watch him reel them in and then let them go. He would then throw his line out where Daddy released his so that he might catch Daddy's again.

Fishing Trip

The other night we took the kiddos fishing. We had a blast. Andrew was getting upset since he was not catching much but he ending up fishing with Daddy's pole and reeled in 3 little bass. Madison was on the go non stop and wanted to throw every rock she could find in the pond. The wind was blowing pretty hard and water was choppy but we did okay. This is one of the pictures that I love of the both of them..

bday suprise.

This year for my bday Paul surprised me and sent me 6 beautiful red roses and a balloon...I was totally surprised and very happy..I had to take some pictures of the roses...Just reminds me to stop and smell them from time to time..

Bang Trim

Sissy got her bangs trimmed that same day and believe it or not she set better then brother did and was very happy to show everyone her new haircut..

Heart Breaker...

Well this is the new do that Andrew got a couple of weeks ago complete with the spike in the front. He was very handsome looking and even told me he wanted a shirt like his friend Jackson that said "hot chicks dig me". Watch out girls when he decides that they are not gross anymore..

Caught Red Handed

Daddy's little girl...Loves her hats and his police car. She is doing what Andrew did when he was that age every police car or policman she sees is her Daddy..I love this picture.

Going to wait it out....

Well we have decided to just wait out the TV and when it goes out then figure out what we will do....What will we do without one?? Mommy would be happy things would be quite and would not have to watch three or four shows at one time...And would not have to sit through another Sponge Bob episode...The kiddos and Daddy would not be so happy...That's okay maybe this one will stay working for awhile...We can pray...

I am in Tulsa all day tomorrow for a professional customer service thingy..not really happy about it but hey ya have to do what you are told..Tonight have to find something other then my jeans to wear, and that could be interesting I have two sizes in the closet, too big or too small so not sure what I will come up with will see...Tomorrow night we are going to Cushing to the Italian restaurant over there for Joan's bday party, her bday is the 30th. Then back to Chris and Jen's for cake and ice cream. Andrew is going to stay with them overnight he is very very excited already figuring out what he is going to take and how long tomorrow night is from today..

Today is Paul's first day without his rookie, figure he is very very happy to have his car back to himself..

The kiddos are doing good so far...Andrew helped Daddy mow the yard last night and Maddie wanted nothing to do with the mower..They both helped me do chores last night..Maddie is feeling better except when I picked her up yesterday let's just say her teachers were very very glad to see her going home and they have been that way all week, she is very cranky think those teeth are giving her fits and heck that is just her personality if you have ever met our daughter, you will know with the "little tornado" is like :) ...Andrew is earning a quarter for things that he helps with all the way through and does not have to be asked a 100 times. This is something that he is really excited about. So if you ask him to do something and you hear "do I get a quarter for this" you will know why..

That's about it for now...Will see what the weekend brings....

Bad luck in 3's or 4's?

Okay this makes strike number 3 or is it 4 for us...our living room tv is trying to go out on us to the point that it turns it self off sometimes and then when you first turn in on it pops and crackles and so forth..1st the microwave, 2nd the washer, 3rd truck tires and 4th the TV. So guess if I redo the math (and for those that know me I can hear you all laughing or see you all smiling at this comment ) that makes strike 4 but don't really count the truck tires because it is outside the house...

So today Paul is contemplating on what to buy very hard decision an old fashion TV or the new "Manly" TV's LCD/Plasma....Keep the entertainment center or get ride of and buy a new one to accomadate the new TV...and so forth...Whatever happened to just going to the store and having one or two things of one item to pick from, made things a lot simpler...

And for Kristen and John Ray...I WAS not the person that fried the TV.....I will take blame for the first two appliances :)

We went fishing last night over at Granpa Roy's pond...We had a good time. Andrew was getting discouraged b/c he was not catching anything and Daddy was but Daddy helped him and he ended up catching 3 or 4 little ones. Which if you ask him he will tell you the one he caught weighed 10 pounds but was only about 4 inches long...I have pictures to prove all the fish that were caught it was way to windy and kinda chilly but we had a good time...Sister just wanted to throw rocks in the pond and did not want anything to do with the fish at all...

Keep thinking that we might get rain this week by the looks of things outside but think that God is just teasing us...You know this is Spring Break here so not sure what we might end up with before the week is over...

I am heading to Tulsa on Friday for some professional development seminar with customer service going to be an all day thing...Hate to miss a day of work but Friday's are are not so busy days so there might not be too much to catch up on when we all get back on Monday...Going to hate the fact that I can't walk but will just work out that night and not feel so guilty...or at least that is what I say now...

Other then that got Maddie on some antibotics yesterday she is trying to cut her two year molars and "as usually King Friday" she has a bad cough and sinus infection. She wore her new red shoes to daycare yesterday and came home with blisters so mommy put her in the new shoes today but with socks, they are like Crocs but not that brand and she loves them. Andrew is at daycare all week due to Spring Break and yesterday he got a treat his friend Jackson from school was there all day to play with him and he loved it.

That is it for now just wanted to give short (hehehe) summary of the last three days of our crazy life... Until next time...

Busy busy weekend..

Well the kiddos and I had a busy weekend..Jon and Randi and the kiddos came up for a short visit and we meet them and mom and dad at Joseppis for lunch on Sunday. It was good and the kids enjoyed visiting with each other. And I enjoyed seeing them all. Thanks for lunch Daddy... Then Andrew and I borrowed MK's brown truck (Thanks MK) and went and put out a round bale for our goats just the two of us and we got er done..And enjoyed each others company.

Then Sunday Mom, Trish and I meet with Tawni and Jamie to go over the wedding/grooms cake plans and got to eat some of Tawni's cake and were in heaven...The cakes are going to be great....

We did not have tball practice on Thursday night our friends from Chandler called and we went over to Cushing to the bowling alley and Andrew bowled for the first time and even got a strike. He love it and we had a blast...Madison fooled us all did not think that she could pick up a bowling ball but she proved us way wrong on that she went over and picked on up and then was going to try to bowl with it...Andrew is wanting to go back every night now...told him we will soon. He also has been earning quarters for helping out with the chores and the house so he has money burning a hole in his new wallet to spend on the machines at the bowling alley...

We start our softball placement games on the 30th and then we have another one on the 3rd of April. Still have not heard when Tball games will start. They do not practice this week due to Spring Break, so we practice again the following week..

Paul is done with his rookie as of last night so he is glad. He is helping his folks this week while he is off work and haul off some cattle to sale and then he works one day this week doing traffic. So not much of a weekend for him. He is wanting to get Andrew out on the boat at the lake to fish but not sure he will get that done this week...

That is about it for us this weekend..Kinda a break this week from ball stuff but there is enough other stuff to keep us busy and trying to keep our heads above water..
