The poor kid all she wanted to do was touch the cake.

Digging In!!!!!

She really loved her cake.

The best way to get her clean was to just throw her in the bath tub :}

She loves her bath time.

How could you not love this sweet little one. She is such a joy to be around. She has such a great little personality. It is very hard to believe that she is already one. Where has the time gone??? She is such a beautiful baby and such a blessing. We Love You ADDIE!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Here goes my weekends off to soccer......

2011-09-28T17:42:00.001-07:00

Malia's soccer team has started their fall season and they are doing great they have won every game so far. They are 3-0. Malia has improved this year. She is really loving it and she has a really good coach. This year they are called the Blue Crushers!

First Day of Middle School!!!!!

2011-09-28T17:32:00.000-07:00

My Little Sleep Head!

Right before she got on the bus(You can see it in the corner) she got really nerves, but she has had no problem adjusting to switching classes. She loves it because it makes her day go by faster. Malia really loves Middle School. She is doing really good in school. She has done cheerleading and getting ready to do soccer in school. I went to her locker the other night to get a paper out of it and she didn't know we were going and I thought for sure that her locker would be a total mess, but to my surprise it was perfectly neat and organized. Just the way I like things!!!! And Yes I do know I am late on these, but better late than never ;-}

Vacation!!!!!

2011-08-10T09:10:00.000-07:00

Our first night we went to eat at Shorty Smalls! Yummy. We love that place.

We also went to the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield for a bit and then I got my fix at the Outlet Mall in Branson :)

The next day we went to White Water Waterpark. We had a blast. It was very nice and relaxing.

Oh and Yes I did do both of these slides!!!!! (But only 1 time each that was enough for me) Malia did them a few times.

The person on the Right side is Malia flying down it.

She is much braver than I. I could only do this once and I held my breath all the way down.

Here is a picture of me to prove I really was there :) You gotta love the guber behind me!

Here we are waiting for the Go-Karts!!! Oh yeah Baby!! Malia was tall enough to drive, but I still kicked both of their butts on all of the ones we went on!!!! (Rob did win one time but only because a kid caused me to wreck and I lost only because of that other wise I would have had him)

You can see one of these tracks in the background they were AWESOME!!!!!

Getting ready to go!!!!

Straping in only to get beat!!!

We also went to the Hatcher there and feed the fish! To bad you couldn't Fish there they had quiet a few big ones there!!! We had a great time it was a much needed vacation!!!!!

We are truly blessed to live so close to Sarah and her family. I love getting to see the kids grow. They are so sweet! Jackson is the happiest baby I have ever seen. Lexi is as rotten as her mom but I would not trade her for the world. I wished my Texas Sweeties lived closers so I could see them more. I am very very lucky girl to have so many beautiful nieces and nephews. I love them just as much as if they were my own babies.

D.A.R.E Graduation

2011-01-27T13:15:00.000-08:00

Malia had D.A.R.E Graduation Tuesday Night. It is hard to believe that she will be 11 and going to middle school next year. When I was sitting there listening to the guy give his speech I couldn't help but wonder how many of these students will remember this day and what it truly means. I can only pray that we have taught and raised our children well enough to always say no. It is a very scary world. I am extremely proud of my daughter.

My Little Snow Bunny:)

2011-01-26T11:24:00.000-08:00

We got about 10 inches of snow Last week and Malia had the best time playing out in it. I enjoyed watching her from our bedroom window:) It is to cold for me!

We took Malia to 5th grade camp yesterday. She was super excited to go but mommy was extremely nervous. She kept rubbing my arm on the way to the camp saying it will be ok. Then she told me she her stomach was a little nervous, but as soon as we got there she was perfectly fine. Her best friend pulled at the same time so she was happy. I hope I make it threw the week. It is always weird for her to be gone from us, but I am sure this is something she will never forget.

2010-08-18T07:53:00.000-07:00

She had a little trouble waking up luckly I was around with Camera in hand:)

Today was a very hard day. Malia started 5th grade her last year in elementary. I can not believe where the time has gone. She was extremely excited this morning to go see her friends.

My new family. Wedding day!

This is where we stayed in Herman. It was called Herman Hills Winery. We stayed in the cottages. They are very private and they have everything you could ever imagine from Hot tubs to 2 fire places. I give it 5 stars and recommended it to anyone looking for a good Bed and Breakfast.
