Father's Day 2013

Hey y'all!

Oh how I am thankful for the wonderful men in my life who are dads! 

I am the only girl in my family, so I'm a huge Daddy's girl. This is the first year that I didn't get to spend this day with him so you can imagine how much I missed him. We sent him some cards and I got to Skype with him this morning so that made up for it. I can't explain how thankful I am for him. He has taught me so much and he has helped shape me into who I am today. He is my hero and always will be. He is such an inspiration to me and he's one of the most supportive people in my life. He's pretty much the bestest! :)

I've always been a Daddy's girl!

 

We had a great day celebrating my hubby as a daddy too! I am so blessed that God sent this guy my way and that he gave me 2 beautiful children! He's the best provider for our family and loves our children like no one else can. He gives his all everyday for my 2 babies and then comes home and plays and laughs with them. They both already look up to him so much and I know he can't be beat! 

We started a little early on Saturday by giving him his big gift since it had to be put together. So when he got home from work Saturday evening we surprised him with an outdoor fireplace and he so loves it of course! :) Then Sunday we began with giving him a little questionnaire Kadence and I made for him and gave him his cards and a jalapeno wrap holder thing for the grill. We ate breakfast and tagged along with him to check cattle (which we all loved!) After that and naps, we went off to North Platte to eat supper and grocery shop..ha! Overall it was a great day and Kadence couldn't tell him "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!" enough. 

We love him!

This was too fun! :)

My baby daddy! Ha!!

I am also thankful for my father-in-law, Curtis! He's welcomed me into their family like I'm his own daughter and I couldn't ask for a better man to be my kid's Papaw! Anytime we need anything he's the first one to offer help and has plenty of jokes to pass around too! He's just pretty great!!!

I've got to say I'm pretty blessed by all of these dads! :)

Where I blog from {link-up}

Hey y'all! :)



It's that time again to link-up with "The Good Life" hosted by Suzi over at chores and chandeliers and Kelsey at Keeping Up With Kelsey. This week's link-up is about where you (or well I) blog from.

My blogging spots aren't too exciting since I have 2 little ones who can't wonder too far off without my supervision, but they're happy spots! 

The first place is my comfy living room couch. Usually from here, I blog in the mornings while the kids watch cartoons and play. They stay busy so I can write, so it's the perfect place! 

The other place is the kitchen bar. Again, not too exciting..but when the kids are eating or taking naps, it's a great place to blog.

Well there it is. The marvelous, yet simple places I blog from. Hope y'all have a great rest of the week.

God Bless!

My Mom's visit!

Last week my mom came to see us! She stayed for 6 days and we loved every second of her being here! She got here on Friday and understandably she was pooped from driving, so Saturday we decided to make it a day on the town. We ventured to North Platte to eat, get our toes done, and do some shopping of course. Kadence wasn't too fond of the idea that a man (who was doing mine) was going to paint her toes so we finally convinced her to let the lady (who did my mom's) do them. She got them painted the same color as Grammy's and got some green jewels put on them. :)

Eating lunch..and of course KK had to be silly! ;)

Our Pedi's!

Momma/Daughter pic. :)

That evening Mom said she would watch the kids so Jeff and I could go out on a date night! YAY!!! We hadn't had a date night since I was 7 months pregnant with Beau so it was much needed even though I did miss the kids for that short time. We went to eat and watched the Hangover 3. Nothing too exciting but it was a great time for sure!!

I sure do love this man!!

Sunday rolled around, so we took mom on a tour of some farms around here and then Jeff decided he wanted me to go ride horses with him. I hadn't rode horse in a good 10 years so I was a little rusty, but it all came back to me pretty quick. :)

The rest of the week flew byl! Mom taught me how to use my sewing machine (of course I had to sew every piece of clothing that was torn..ha!), we did some house chores that was much needed, I caught back up to my running schedule, Beau stayed one night in her room to give me a break and got him back on track (thanks mom!), we watched a movie, watched the CMT Awards, played Candy Crush(ha!), and just spent time together! 

The love Grammy!!

My dad sent my mom some roses while she was here and she left one for KK and this was her reaction! ha!

Her last day here. :(

I've never been lived so far from my parents so it's been tough on us all, but it just makes visits like this sweeter! I'll always cherish those moments forever and ever!

Jase and Missy: Building a Foundation on Christ {Love me some Duck Dynasty!}

Today a few friends shared a video on Facebook that I just couldn't pass up sharing too. We (including our 3 year old daughter) love Duck Dynasty and this video just made me love them even more! These people are amazing and I was raised with the same values, so I can relate to them so much. I couldn't agree more with the comment "If everyone did things God's way, this world would be a better place." :)

Career Day!-{link-up}

Hey y'all! 

I'm linking up again with "The Good Life" hosted by Suzi and Kelsey. 


 

Today's link-up is about Career Day, so here's what I'm currently doing as a "job." 

My job doesn't include an income but it does include many memories. I'm a stay at home momma! I love this job and it's by far the most rewarding job I've ever had. Kadence and Beau keep me busy and I love everything about staying home. Some days/nights are easier than others, but I wouldn't trade it for the anything in the world! 

Kadence will more than likely start preschool in the fall and I'll continue staying with Beau until he's old enough to go to school. When that happens I'm hoping to be an elementary teacher. 

A few years ago I graduated from Amarillo College with my Associates Education degree as an Elementary Specialist. I'm hoping to gain my bachelor's degree in a few years so I can be a "real" teacher someday, but until then I'm going to be a happy housewife and a stay at home mom. :)

Hope y'all have a great remaining week! 

God Bless!

Five Question Friday! 5.31.13 {link-up}

It's finally Friday!!!! 

This week has been pretty good. I think Beau has developed baby insomnia, because he's been waking up every hour of the night all week so I've narrowed it down to growing pains or just being a momma's boy. I refuse to let him sleep with us because we just got Kadence out of our bed after 3 years of that business, so I just rock him or feed him till he falls asleep but after an hour, he's back up screaming! I'm thankful that my husband doesn't mind helping and for caffiene because without them I'd probably be a wreck right now.

Here's my little man sporting his first overalls.

On another note, we got 2.5 inches of rain this week and loved every drop. I love seeing all the green and the little baby corn popping up! :)
I started cleaning out flower beds and we officially got our garden ready over the weekend, so I know they loved the rain too.

Here's our tomatoes and cucumbers. We'll transplant them outside next week or so.

We got to experience Kadence's first rainbow too! :)

Mother's Day 2013 {A trip to Texas and back!}

For Mother's Day, I made a trip to Texas with my 2 babies! I've never traveled that far (400 miles/7 hrs) alone with my kids but we made it safe and sound with no drama. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every moment of visiting our families and friends. 

These are my nieces Raeleigh, Maggie, and Skye after playing t-ball. They're all on the same team sponsored by my dad! :)

 

Grandpa and Beau! My dad is so grateful to have a grandson after 4 granddaughters!

 

My sister-in-law, Tiffany and I got a girl's day with no kiddos! YAY!! :)

Now for Mother's Day! 

Me and my Momma! I couldn't be more blessed to be her daughter!!

My brothers and I with our mom!

 

My brothers decided we needed a "butt-pic"..so here it is! NERDS!!

Again, NERDS..but ya gotta love em! :)

Here's me and my babies. I don't know what I'd do without these 2!!

We have friends and family all over the Texas panhandle and I'm glad we got to visit with some of them!

This is my BFF Amy!

My oldest niece, Raeleigh at her field day. Best believe she rocked everything!!

The kids with my Nanny! We sure love her!!

This of course, is just a taste of all that happened but I'm glad that we got to take this trip for Mother's Day and to catch up with family and friends. We made it back home safe and sound despite Beau running fever, teething, and crying most of the way along with driving though Kansas with a big chance of a tornado sucking us up (which involved tears and calling my hubby to see which county we were in since I couldn't see any signs while watching the clouds spin and thinking we were for sure gonna end up on our side because of the wind)..yes it was dramatic, but we made it home and for that, I am beyond thankful!!!!

Oh..and when I got home this was sitting on our kitchen table..

My wonderful hubby got this for me for Mother's Day! Wish me luck..because I have no idea what I'm doing! Ha!

I am beyond blessed as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend! ♥
