Happy Memorial Day!

I want to start by thanking all of our military both present and past for their service to our country.  I am truly thankful for the freedoms we have been given!  I want to especially thank my husband and all of our friends and family that have served or are currently serving.  You mean the world to us!

We had a great weekend with family.  Saturday was raining and yucky, which is typical of Missouri Memorial Day weekend.  We went to my niece's graduation party, (woohoo, go Haylee! ), and had a great time visiting with family.  Our other niece, Ashley and her husband and daughter drove up from Oklahoma to surprise Haylee and surprised all of us, too!  It was so great to see them!
Then Sunday and Monday were so beautiful!  Monday we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to my mother-in-law's and swam and ate barbecue.  Yummy!  Burnt hot dogs are my favorite!

The day was so perfect being with Lee's family.  I am so blessed to have them in my life.  They are just so very good to me and my family:)

Reese and I ended the day with polishing our little piggies pink.  I sure do love those little toesies!

Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend with your families!!

My 3 favoritist people:)

I am once again sitting at home with my sick bubby.  We had snow days on Tuesday and Wednesday, but he still was running a fever yesterday, so we kept him home again today.  I have a call into the doc office and I am hoping they will change his antibiotic so we will see the improvement we need to see.  He is by far better today than any other day this week, but he needs to be 100%!  So, I am saying prayers that he gets better and soon!

So, I decided to post about my favorite people today. 

The first is my bubby!

This picture was taken in November on the very day that Ry won the CharacterPlus award for Polite.  He was put on the "Wall of Character" at his school and was recognized in an assembly.  We are SO very proud of him! 

And another of my favoritist people is my Sissy-girl!

This picture was taken on Christmas Eve and it is one of my most favorite!  This is what a Merry Christmas means to me.:)

Saving the best for last, is my wonderful husband and best friend, Lee!

This was taken on New year's Eve and it was the best pic I got of him.  I love when he has a scruffy beard and I made him buy this hat!  I love love love it on him!!  I am so very thankful for him in my life.  He is my rock and without him I would be lost!

So, there they are.  I praise the good Lord each and every day for these three people.
I am truly blessed:)

I love these kids!

So, I have been trying to post a video of Rylee, so when I figure it out, I will post it. It's darling:)

Anyway, we had a wonderful Labor Day weekend here full of a whole lot of nothing. Sometimes these times are the best! We hung out, bbqed, danced, played outside and just enjoyed life.

Last Thursday, my Aunt Donna and Grandma came into town for a funeral(sadly), but we got to spend some time with them that evening. Aunt Donna snapped this picture of us four generations at my Mom's house. I feel so completely blessed to have these women in my life.


Also, last week I was remminded of how great our God is. I was having a down week and needed some uplifting. So, not once, but twice in the same day no less, God showed me he was there. What an amazing and loving God we serve! The first was in the morning on the way to take Reesie to the sitter and the second was taken by my loving husband while I was at work and he told me that he was thinking of me.<3




And last, but definately not least, I will leave you with pictures of these kids I love. They are my life and my heart. They truly are my everything:)








I also have another video of them dancing from this weekend, so hopefully I can figure out how to upload it!

Hope you all had a great labor day!
