Two Weeks of Birthday Parties- Paton

Well, for Paton's birthday party he thought of almost everything! He loves planning birthday parties, and although we like to keep things a surprise, we took almost all of his suggestions. He has quite an imagination, so it was a fun, yet challenging party to do. So....

Arghh! Welcome to Paton's Pirate Party!

We had a treasure hunt that had different pieces of a map hidden around the yard. Once he found all the pieces, he could see where the treasure was hidden. 

Special thanks to Michael for the outstanding photography~

Two Weeks of Birthday Parties- Mamalilly

We love to have my grandmother, Mamalilly up here and stay with us. The little ones love to sit on her lap and have her read book after book.... us older ones love to go "exploring" with her (driving around Edmond, Oklahoma city, and Guthrie looking for various shops and sometimes getting lost! :-)  Well, without further ado let me introduce Mamalilly and her Hawaiian party~ 

Two Weeks of Birthday Parties- Sarah

From March 24 to April 7 we had three birthday parties in our family: Sarah, my grandmother (aka Mamalilly), and Paton. Mamalilly came up and stayed with us and helped us with the preparations. In 2008 we started doing themed parties and we have had a lot of fun being creative and coming up with ideas. Alright, that's enough talking, on to the pictures!

    Happy Fourth Birthday Sarah!

What we've been up to...

Okay...It's been a while sense I last posted. I'm going to try to post more regularly, but it seems like there's either nothing going on to post about or we're so busy I don't have time!


The major thing we've been doing is gardening. We were blessed in our gardening last year, and we are doing it again this year! I love gardening! It is so wonderful to get our food straight from God...It reminds me that He is our provider and with His blessing the garden grows! We are getting lettuce and spinach now, our potatoes and green beans are coming up, we planted cucumbers and squash a week ago, and we just planted the tomatoes Wednesday. We are in the middle of making tomato cages right now...we learned our lesson about cheap tomato cages last year. :-)


Michael bought a little trailer off of Craigslist tonight to take his mower around in. Hopefully he will get some yard work jobs this summer!   


We are going to Texas this week and staying with some family for about four days. I'm hoping to get some good driving time in this trip ( yes, I still need hours in before I get my licence).


We've had some birthdays around here lately, and some big sewing projects to go along with them. It was a lot of fun and I hope to get some pictures up soon.


Well, I gotta run~

Whoa....

Running, soaring, speeding on by with no regard to people, places, or things...completely unaware and unconcerned with what direction its going...all it knows is that it must go and go fast...and that we must keep up with it. Who or what is this unruly master? Time.

But wait. Something has happened. I finally have outsmarted this oppressive slavedriver, and now, on a Saturday morning I have time to write a blog post! :-)

Hello everyone! After many gentle reminders from my dear friends about my blog I am finally doing it.

Hmm... Where to start?

Our family is all doing well other than some minor colds. We have had a lot of snow and ice here in Oklahoma, and we are all lookin' forward to spring, summer and the joys of gardening!

Brianna, Justin and I are getting ready for a piano recital next month. This is Justin's first recital and he is very excited!

Brianna and I just finished making baby quilts with our good friends the Chatham's.
