First Friends Halloween Party

Class at the Pumpkin Patch



Some of these pictures were taken by John Carter......


Hello Cowboy Mac

Mama being silly

John Carter's best friend Bailey-Bee


There's Sheriff Woody!

It's been a while since the last post. Needless to say, we've been busy. If you want to see new pics of the kids you can follow this link to Whitney Sheperd's blog www.photographybywhitney@blogspot.com. She's a terrific photographer. She's really got it together because it's only been a week and my disk is ready!!

I'll try to do better with my posts.

Some Older Pix

In these pictures the twins were just four months old and John Carter was a little over three. My how they've all changed in four months. John Carter looks more like a little man and the twins look like they're catching up with him. Next year it may look like I have triplets if they keep growing like they are!

Playing Catch Up

We've been so busy these past couple of months. I cant believe I haven't had time to blog! Here are a few pictures to keep you updated on what the boys look like...
The twins will be 8 months old on the 16th and John Carter will be 4 (yes 4 years old!) in November!! Time surely does fly.......


Davis (feeding himself sweet potatoes)

The boys experimenting with different food and utensils.


Little drummer boys

I think they look like little old men in this picture.

We're so blessed to have happy and healthy children.

Catching Up.....

We have been SO busy this month. 4th of July,
Birthday parties and on July 13th we welcomed
the first girl born in our family, Harper Claire.
Congratulations Aunt Brandy & Uncle Big-Will
The following are just random July pix to help us get caught up.


Eli "The Uni-Bomber"


Allie & the Boys



The day Eli finally held his bottle on his own.


My two pirates in their ship. Notice "Cap'n Jack is missing part of his arm.
We looked and looked for a hook, but never found one.

Kendall's Birthday Party at the river


4th of July at the river with Kendall


Eli's first dip in the Elk...Davis would have none of it!

We didn't know John Carter could swim

(luckily he still had his swim vest on)

when he and Mary Ellen (she's 5) decided

to jump in and swim across the river to meet

up with one of the boats that had just left. My little fish!


The tadpoles.

Ode to MJ

Like him or hate him he was an icon of my era and he made a difference in the world.....so thank you Michael Jackson for the great music, silver glove, moonwalk, and especially the cool parachute pants one little girl proudly wore in 1986!!

Special People

Mr. Harold and Mrs. Flo are two very special people in our lives. They have been very generous to us over the past few years and we are very appreciative of it. We consider them our babies extra set of grandparents. Recently they built John Carter a bird house and of course he wanted it painted ALL RED!! So, Mr. Harold did the wood work and Mrs. Flo painted and she also added a little white heart because she said John Carter was always in hers. Here are the pictures of the day they came over and put it up.

Just a side note...God puts special people in our lives for a reason. He lets them teach us life lessons that we will hopefully pass on to others one day. I truly believe in the concept of "Paying it Forward." So, thank you Mr. Harold and Mrs. Flo for always being so kind and thoughtful.

A pretty red birdhouse and three

special friends!

Fun in the Sun with Kendall

These little sillies are in love one minute and fighting the next.
Mrs. Amy and I think they'll probably get married since they
already act like it!
Thanks Miss Kendall for sharing your water slide with us.

The Twins are 5 Months Old!

This was the "happiest" picture I could get.
(Eli is on the left and Davis is on the right)



They're just not glad about growing older....

Turn up the volume and listen.....

The laughing babies on our playlist cracks us up because the boys are just starting to laugh like that. It's really the sweetest sound you'll ever hear......


Davis is eyeing Eli (like he does most of the time)


My silly boys....John Carter had been eating Cheeto's so he's sporting an orange mouth!


Their new favorite toys! For some reason they notice each other more when they have caps on.
They "talk" to each other and laugh out loud when they're in the excersaucers.


John Carter's new passion is turtle and frog hunting. Here he is showing his brothers his latest catch.....the poor frogs in our yard don't stand a chance.


This one kind of scares me....I call this "Devious Davis" and "Evil Eye Eli." John Carter has always been such a good child, but I think these two will be the death of Tim and me. I can already tell that they're going to gang up on us! (By the way, they're 4 months old and already weigh half of what John Carter weighs and he's 3 1/2!!) I'm scared for John Carter too because the two of them will probably be twice his size and I can only imagine what furniture is going to get broken around our house.....That's just life with boys I guess...
