A new Year!!!!

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.It was never between you and them anyway.

--Mother Teresa--
I hope everyone has a great new year and many new great friends and memories. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Christmas Morning

THE TRAMPOLINE!!!!!! Jaxson told his dad as he did a back flip, don't you see the rules right here dad it says that is not allowed! I hope he keeps that honesty and diligence to follow the rules throughout his life!!! SO our sweet kids slept in until about 8 which was such a gift due to the fact that we were up until almost 2AM! They woke up and went straight out to the living room. Jaxson yelled out what is all this string! Santa set a trap! Well he had left a note to follow the string to their gift! Here is what was waiting outside and they are so ecstatic!

Here they are with a ball of the string out of the pantry~!

Mya trying to help her brother!

The note!!! Santa doesn't write very good apparently! We had a wonderful day of family and friends, fun times and of course great food! Our kids and family are truly the best gift we have and I am so blessed with all I have in my life. More to come.......

Christmas Eve

I am attempting to catch up for memory sake and we will have to start with most recent. Here is our happy girl saying "ank qu" thank you in Whit terms. She loved the gifts and lights and music of course!

Here is my drunk appearing husband who just won the stacking chairs game and we needed to take a photo to send in to the company! He worked on this for quite sometime and finally did it all by himself which I don't know is legal anyways! What a fun game though for sure! Both of the kids had a great time thanks grandma and grandpa!

Here is our little buk! We call her that a lot of the time it kinda stuck from Jaxson. So Buk got a puppy talks and sings and she loves it a lot!!!!

What a happy smiling face and we can't get enough of her and her spunky personality we are in for quite some sass!!!!

Here is our handsome man with nothing but Lego's of course. He is the master and had this put together in a matter of 1 hour. All by himself for that matter too! He has such focus and drive and has his little tongue out and finishes in no time just by following the map or directions as most would call them!

Little miss got a fancy new barbie and Dora card and new PJ's. Dora too that she loves so much. She of course had to have all of her belongings in a bag. We call her the bag lady because she cannot leave the house without 2-3 bags full of random trinkets! We love you lainey!

The 3 musketeers in their new Christmas jammies! So sweet and cute and clean!!! Love cute clean kids more than most!!!!

Our happy little fam no Christmas cards this year so from our family to yours hope you had a fantastic day and a great new year to come! Enjoy the season and remember we love you !!!!!

Big Family Pics

I was so touched by this sweet video and the reminder it is this season!

Wild ride

Anyone want a wild ride from this guy? Well he is actually home today and I am enjoying having his sweet voice around. He is sick and coughing but will be better asap hopefully the steroids kick in. He has been having too much fun on this thing and speeding in the wind of dirt. Oh well I guess as long as he is happy and hopefully will be healthy soon too!
Ad got this steal at a garage sale for $30. Him and his brother worked on redoing the engine and now it works. A little bit of a bumpy ride but fun anyway!

Baths anyone???

Well this has been the scene lately on Sunday nights at Bobba's. The three little's get a bath and into their warm PJ's for the fall asleep in the car preparations. They love it and are sooooooo cute! I am grateful and hope they will be the best of friends!

Pretty Princess

Here she is the cutest dancer in the town. She showed off on Saturday and her ballet!

Plia???? Well she loves to do this and twirl and twirl. Isn't she sweet!

Brother came too, and was so proud of her!

Standin in line with the other princesses. Not so sure of what to expect with all these people looking at them.

Me and my little beauty. I am so proud to be her mom!

Crowned with cuteness and a gummy smile! You did a great job and were the star of the show. We were so happy you had fun. Bobba and Jaycie, Lucas and grandpa and Aunt Stephanie came to watch. You also had some friends come from church what a cheering section, all because we love you!!!!!!

Happy day 4 year old

Mya had a great birthday week with cousins and family and presents!!!!!!


We went bowling to celebrate with a couple of her cousins and all the kids did great with the super roller stand. She even got a couple spares!!!!! Here is her sweet aunt giving her a birthday squench!


She was so excited to open all her girly gifts!!!!!!

She also had a party just for her on Sunday before her birthday and got a straw ba berry cake!

Here's our pro bowler!

Here is part of the crew. They love to be together and had a great time making their nicknames for their bowling title!
Some of the loot, barbie, tea set, books, clothes, fishing jewels game, and markers with a Dora book!
So happy with her cake! It tasted marvelous too, I must say!
The morning of post doughnut eating! She was so excited and put on her birthday clothes right away.

Having a bit of a cough at this time OOPS!
Havin a second course, still hungry~



Good morning birthday girl who is soooooo happy and does look like this most mornings. A lot of detangler and water help to tame the crazy hair! Happy Birthday Lanes!

Surprise

So yes I turned the big 30 and my sweet husband planned a great party for just me!!!! My cousin was here for a couple weeks and has never been around for my birthday and I mentioned to her I wanted a Luau. SHe wanted to have a party so bad and actually didn't find out about this one until the day of because she knew she wouldv'e spilled the beans.

Well then I told Ad never mind we don't need anything. He told me he had reservations for that night and to dress nice.

We went to Vogue and had a romantic and delicious meal and started to leave. I asked him if he wanted to get a movie or go shopping. He said no we should get home. That is not my husband and I was a little suspicious.
I came home and into the house and it was so dark. My cousin was home with the kids and I was shocked to see everyone yell and jump out. I was more shocked to hear that Ad took my phone and tried to call all the people he noticed in my phone to invite.
My cousin and mom and sisters pulled it off with decor and cake and food. So many of the people I love and care about were there and I did feel so special. I was instantly so grateful to have all these great people in my life! Old friends from high school, church friends, work friends, family and lots of kids.

I was sad that my dad couldn't be there and Kyle and his family, but it was a great party!

The kids played and a bonfire was had too. Lots of chatting and eating and of course a delish cake! Thanks for the company a sweet cards and gifts, I am so blessed! Thanks babe for all your delegating and secret keeping I will remember it forever!

Girls

Well I love these girls to pieces and enjoy the way they play together and make me smile. Since brother is at school all day the girls have special time with me! We recently have gone shopping, lunch dates, to the library, and just snuggled on the couch.
I am so grateful for my time I have at home with them and the sweet moments I get to witness. Mya gets on the bus in the morning and Whit just waves and smiles and waves some more. Mya always makes sure to give "winee" a kiss and hug before she leaves and Whit loves it!

Whit is getting so fun and walking all over the place she got a little bit of her nappy hair cut off tonight and I am hoping for a fast re-growth!!!! She loves to eat and will continue until everyone is done, so we have learned not to start feeding her early. She is going to be my handful child getting into everything and opening every cupboard!
These girls are soooooo into music and shake their booty whenever they hear a beat! We have had Christmas tunes on all day and they love to have a dance around the house.
I am trying to catch up but I need a lot of pics downloaded.
See ya later.

7 already

Well yes I am catching up and realized I never posted about the actual day of J's birthday. The happy man woke up to a sprinkle doughnut and a gift and was so happy!

The cute matching girls going to get Bubba at school.

All 3 of them sliding down together! I love how Jaxson is so loving and caring with his sister's.

A train ride only for kids for the 2 big kids! Bobba came along for the day because J wanted a shopping day with her!

Posing in front of the store so anxious to go in!
Mya doesn't know where to stand and he is being a tease and making her upset! Brotherly love for sure!

What a sweet birthday boy and proud sister!

Home after a long day and Jaxson begging to put his birthday present from Bobba together! What a project for Dad and son. They had a great time and were so proud of the finished product!
