Easter

The easter bunny brought the kids this. The buckets in front of the wagon are from my mom and dad.

We went camping for Easter this year. We went to sand cove and had lots of fun. My dad and mom Ben and I and kids and My brother Reece and his wife Meagan and there kids. The weather was nice and we all enjoyed our selves. We fished for crawdads and caught quite a few. But we never cooked and ate them. Ben's brother came for just a little bit and ended up taking them home with him. We raced boats made out of whatever we could find that would float. That was lots of fun. The Easter bunny came and left the kids some fun toys they enjoyed playing with them and with there cousins. Ben and Patton left and came back with one lonely fish and Patton loved it and was so excited. I even got pictures of him trying to kiss it. We had lots of fun and I hated to come home to face everyday life but so life goes on. Thanks to all the family we had fun and appreciate all of you for everything. Sad not to have those of you who usually come but it was bound to happen eventually. We did miss you had hope you had fun where your adventures took you.

They were looking at a frog that someone caught.

These are the boats we made to have some fun. We put them in the canal to race them. It was lots of fun. In the following order from left to right Bens, mine, reeces, and parkers. Ben was the one that won but it was sure fun. When we were done my dad and meagan both made one to race against us. My dad won that time.

She is such a poser. She didn't even know I was taking a picture of her. How adorable.

And of course the picture of patton kissing the fish!

Addilee's birthday party!

Addilee's birthday party went off like a bang! She had lots of fun and enjoyed every minute of it. She got lots of presents and had lots of fun spending time with family. We got her a new bike which she was in dire need of. Her legs were getting to long for the smaller one she received last year for her birthday. She also got some dress up clothes and jewelry. I made her a princess cake this year which was lots of fun and I loved the way it turned out. She loved it also and that is all that really matters. I would like to thank all the family that came and supported Addilee on her birthday it really means a lot. HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY ADDILEE!!! We love you!

Happy Birthday Addilee!!!!

WOW I can't believe this day is already here the years go by so fast. Addilee is getting so big now she turned 4 this year. She can do so many things which only comes with growing up. Some of the things she can do is:
she can ride a bike with no training wheels and has been for about a year now.
she can say all of her ABC's and can even recognize some of the letters.
she can count but sometimes gets her numbers mixed up after about 15.
she goes to preschool twice a week and loves it.
she is the best big sister anyone could ask for. She loves her brother and sister. they are her best friends.
She is a social butterfly. She loves people and will talk any one's ear's off.
She loves FAMILY. She especially loves her grandmas. She can do so many things I really don't know what else to put. She says the funniest things sometimes and make her family laugh a lot. She loves books and loves to be read to. The older she gets the more girly she gets.
We love you Addilee and love having you as part of our family. You are definitely one of the lights in our lives. We don't know what we would do with out you. Thanks for all you do you are such a big helper and I love that most of the time. I love how you watch out for you brother and sister all the time and play so good with them. I can't believe you are growing up so fast. We love you and hope you had a good day.

New project......

This was my new project and I love it. My friend came over and kept me busy while I was waiting for the news on Aspen. It was fun to put together and visit with my friend. Thanks Jayme I really appreciate all that you do for me. You are a great friend in fact one of the best. Just so you know the picture doesn't do it any justice. It turned out so cute.

Great News!

Okay for those of you who actually read my blog. On the last post I said I would up date everyone with what has been going on well I finally got the news I had been hoping for. To start Aspen has been really sick lately seems to be getting everything that comes around. Plus to top it off she is a little small for her age so we have been check ups quite a bit lately to see what is going on. Well the decided to have her blood drawn to check to make sure everything was working like it should. Well got the results back and they weren't good her platelet count was really high. So we had it checked again and it was even higher. When I say high I mean high the average person has like 400-450 platelet count in there blood and aspen was 700 something the first time it was checked and 800 something the second time it was checked. So we had to wait a couple of weeks to get it checked again to see if it was only high because she had been sick. So this week was the couple of weeks mark and we had it checked and it was back to normal which was like 360 or something like that. I am so thankful and so happy for now. We have to go back to have her white blood cell count done because it wasn't were it should be. But back to the platelet count thing when they called and told me it was high the second time they told me it was high because one she had been sick and it hadn't had time to drop back down or two because she had cancer. My heart sank and I instantly starting crying. I finally made it through these couple of weeks and it was well worth the news I got. Now to just hope that her white blood cell count is normal so we wont have to go down that unexplored street. I am keeping my fingers crossed and my prayers constantly going. I will except any news I get because she is my baby but I only want it to be good news.
