my cheeseball not to be confused as a cheesehead

So, this lil guy came to see me yesterday. Isn't he soooo cute!! Tiffany had to go to school so I kept Kason for her! :) He was such a good lil boy! Preston LOVES him and gives him tons of kisses! He was such a big help...to bad he will NEVER be a big brother...lol! He has such a sweet sweet smile!! :D

Catelyn calls Kason her "baby" or "son"..lol! She is such a good lil momma! She loves helping with babies! She is such a loving girl.

Today we let the girls "skip" school. They were so happy this morning when we told them they were not going to school. Catie kept telling everyone "Momma let me skip school today" lol...i said shhhh don't be telling everyone!! Anyways, we went to visit my sister and Papaw then went and surprised my mom at work. She had no idea that we were coming! The girl's wanted to stay and help Meme work!

We then went to visit Michael's grandparents.We could not get a great picture..lol. Preston was not having it. He was so sleepy! Pawpaw and Mary sold their house a few months ago and bought a very nice camper trailer (lucky us we got to buy their old...but very nice camper) they plan to travel all over the USA! They are leaving in a couple of days and will be gong for a few months. The girl's will miss them so much!! They are such great people! We love them so much!!
Savannah's "fake" smile!!!

Did you notice how this picture keeps repeating! I swear she always has a baby in her arms!! Preston does not always like for Catie to hold him...he likes to be on the go! He will let her know when he has had enough! He says TOP (STOP)..lol!


Michael feed Preston cheeseballs! P thought it was funny to through them across the kitchen! His daddy is obsessed with making Preston a football player so they are always throwing balls....well the cheeseball is just another ball to him...lol!!



My cheese ball...not to be confused as a cheesehead....lol!!

Meet the Dudley's

Meet the Dudley's!! AKA...Honey and Honey Paw (as the kid's call them.) We have been going to church with them for a few years now. We sit right next to them every Sunday! They have pretty much adopted the kiddos. We just love them to pieces! I email Mrs. Dudley all the time and me and Preston visit with them once a week.
I had a hair appt. Tuesday, so Mr. and Mrs. Dudley watched lil P for me. They always say he is soo good...I sure hope so..lol. They have a bowl of peanuts that Preston runs to as soon as he gets there..lol. He throws them everywhere!!! Friday my lil brother Zach spent the night with us. Preston and the girls love him to death! I love the look on Zach's face...he is like ok I love you too but enough with the kissing!!
Preston is at such a fun age! He loves to "read"! He brings us a book and wants us to read it to him but only let's us read about 2 pages and then he is off getting another book..lol.
Saturday I had bunco at my house. We had a great time and ate tons of yummy food! I am excited because my friend Alicia is playing with us full time now. I won a gift card to get a pedicure. I can't wait to use that!!

Today we went to church and then out to eat. I had a $20 dollar off coupon to Crazy 8 so I bought the girl's a few spring outfits. I love buying spring/summer clothes so much more than winter clothes. I love the bright colors and dresses!

Catch up week...

So. I am playing catch up here. I just have been too lazy to blog..lol. We had 6 inches of snow Sunday-Monday. The kids didn't go to school Monday and Tuesday. We played outside quite a bit. The girl's LOVED the snow! They had so much fun!!


Michael made a sled out of some old wood we had in the shop and hooked it up to our four-wheeler and OMGOSH we had a BLAST!!!!! Savannah is saying yeeeeehawwww right here and Catie is saying WOOOHOOOO!!! I even got on it and rode!


Preston didn't love or hate the snow. He just kinda stood in one spot..we had him so bundled up he couldn't hardly move! He tried eating it but don't think he liked it too much..lol. We did make snow ice-cream which was yummy and he did love that..haha!!


When we were not playing in the snow we were baking and drinking lots of hot chocolate. :)


The snow normally melts away pretty fast, but not this year. It stayed around for a week! I was pretty tired of it by the end of the week. Now that we got our snow I am very ready for spring!
Thursday we went to magnolia to see Michael's mom. We ate at the Flying Burger and it was absolutely delicious!!!! I think we may be getting one here in TXK soon...boy i sure hope so!! While we were in Magnolia I got a call from the school nurse saying Savannah was not feeling well and said her throat was hurting. My grandma went to get her since we were out of town and she went straight to bed. I got home and took her temp and it was 100.6. I figured she had strep throat since Catie just had it 2 weeks ago. I called Dr. Deskin Friday and he called her in Omnicef. She is feeling 100 percent now! I PRAY the sickness is out of my house now!

Preston's first haircut and BENTLEY

Preston got his very first haircut today.

He did so good. He sat so still and let Ms. Lorie cut away.

After his hair cut :) She really didn't have to cut too much.

And now to introduce the newest member of the family........ Bentley!!!!


He is a Great Pyrenees. He is 8 weeks old. He is going to be a HUGE dog...he will probably be about 32inc tall. I have read all about him online. They are very loyal to their families and they love kids....PERFECT!! Max didn't know what to think of him..lol



Preston loves him until he tries to get a hold of his sippy..lol. Preston would say TOP (STOP)...haha!!

Savannah has her lil friend Morgan over tonight and Catie is staying the night at Tatum's house. The girl's got report cards today. Catie had 2 B's and the rest are A's. I am super proud of her!! Savannah struggled last 9 weeks but she did soooo much better this 9 weeks. I think we still may hold her back in kindergarten though. She is one of the youngest kids in her class. She is a June baby....I think it would be best for her.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

So, I am super behind on blogging about Christmas but here we go....


Christmas Eve we celebrated with my Dad and Mom. We went to their house and opened gifts. The girl's got this cute kitchen set, pillow pets and new veggie tale's movies. They are in love with the kitchen set!! The kid's got so many big toys that I finally gave in and made the empty dinning room a play room. My camera died while we where at my parent's house so I didn't get to take many pics. Michael and I got MONEY...lol. Preston got a huge football tent, books, and trucks.


Christmas morning was the same as always. We woke up early and made sure the kid's stayed asleep or in their room until my Mom got to our house (they don't have to wait long...she gets here at 7.) The kid's came running into the dinning room and started screaming with joy! Preston got a 4-wheeler, a ride on back hoe, tons of trucks, books, my mom got him a HUGE ball/jump pit.


Catie got her very own net book!!! She was SOOOOOO excited!! She kept asking "is it REAL??" LOL! She got Little Mermaid movie, DS game, Wii game, PJ's, and too much other stuff to name.

Savannah got this adorable Doll House, Toy Story 3, DS game, my mom got the girl's a cute kid's table with 4 chairs, dual DVD player for the car.


I got Michael a wire welder, buck knife, Xbox game, and new shower head. He was extremely happy about the welder!!!


I got a sewing machine (and no I don't really know how to sew but my mom is teaching me..lol) digital pic frame, new silverware and Donkey Kong and Sims 3 for the Wii. My mom got us new house phones and a really cute personalized plate that ways Williams EST 2000..i love it!
Christmas afternoon my sister, her hubby and two boys came over. As did Michael's mom and step dad. We had Christmas lunch...burgers and hot dogs. We were all so tired of cooking we wanted something sweet and simple..lol! We had a wonderful Christmas with our great family!! Then Christmas night Preston started throwing up and shortly after so did Savannah. It lasted utill Sunday afternoon and then Michael started getting sick. By Monday everyone was better so we thought it had left our house, but then I started getting sick. It was NOT fun! Luckily Catelyn never got sick!! For New Year's my BFF's and their families came to our house and we ate pizza and played Dance Central for Kinect on Xbox. We had so much fun!! It was the best night! We danced and laughed at each other..lol!!


Jennifer shaking her groove thang! :)
