Best Buddies

Trason Turns 4.........

......and mommy shed just a few tears! I can't believe my baby is 4. It really bothers me that my kids are growing up so fast, but what do you do?
We started the day out at McDonald's for lunch because daddy is working nights this week. We celebrated with daddy and then sent him off to work. Next we went and bought Trason some new BMX riding gloves (because the little man is flat out scary on his bike!) Then we went to Toys R Us and got Trason a new backpack for preschool :( and a new Thomas the Train. Then it was off to the mall to look for a new football jersey. After all the hard shopping, we all needed a shaved ice. After that, the kids informed me that they might possibly DIE if they didn't have something to eat, so we headed to Arctic Circle with Grandma Gay Lyn and Katie's family for a little more playland action. While we were at Arctic Circle, Grandma informed us that they had new kitten's at their house so we just had to go check them out. Jordy was just beside herself and informed me that she "loved the black and white one really bad!" and named her Oreo. I'm thinking Oreo just might be Jordy's birthday present in a couple weeks. So, that was our day. I'd say it was a pretty good one!

***Trason's new birthday present deserves a post all to itself. More on that later....

In Good Times and Bad...

I can't believe Roudy and I have been married 56 years today! Here's looking forward to 56 more...
Try to ignore the big ball of light in these pictures. Someday I'll figure out how to use my scanner and I won't have to take a picture of a picture! :)

P.S. Does anybody else notice that Roudy has aged a TON in the last 8 years and I still look exactly the same? Maybe that's just wishful thinking.... ;)

I've got a question for all of you...... There are some songs that I want that aren't on playlist. Does anybody know how to add a song on playlist?

Picture Overload

Since I've figured out Facebook, I've become blog lazy. It's so much easier to just put a few pics on Facebook! So, here are a bunch of pics of the summer so far....

Jaxon switch hitting because of his cast

Jaxon hitting the right way (even with a cast on!)

He's ready if that ball comes to him!

Jordy playing 1st base. She always got so excited and jumped up and down after the ball was hit! Notice her finger pointing the way for the runner to run?

Jordy was a butterfly

This was from our annual trip to Downata. I think Roudy is TRYING to be sexy....

The theme for the Downata reunion was Pirates. Here's my littlest (and naughtiest!) pirate, Trason

Doesn't he just look like trouble?

Jaxon and Konner... aka, Frick and Frack

This is from the 4th of July celebration that we always go to in Mackay.
