"May" I have your attention...

This is the "random" stuff that is just everyday life for us!
Our high tech girls playing with our iPhones.

Zoe pushing SB

We decided to get brave and let the girls push the "little buggies" at the grocery store. It was a success and they LOVED it!

I fixed muffins one day. I left them on the counter and come back to this...

Hummm, wonder what happened? Mouse? Nope, I caught her in action...

Oh well, at least she ate!

The girls stole my phone again...

Hannah put on my heels one day and it was too cute!

We went to the park to play one afternoon.

Hannah, our not so brave child, decided to climb up this by herself!

Hayley, well is Hayley, playing in the sand. She can't just play, she has to lay in it too!

Hannah taking a picture of me!

Well, Hayley woke up cold even though it's like 105 outside...

This is one of my FAVORITES EVER! I told the girls to go get ready because we were going to the store. Well, they came out like this...

Hayley sporting the Cinderella dress complete with matching bow and pink rain boots!

Hannah, wearing her Barbie bakers apron with matching flower bow!

Yes, I let them wear them to the store because they were so proud of getting ready.

Pudding anyone?

Happy girl!

Play date at the park with Peyton!

Silly girl!

Hacked!

SB wasn't feeling well so we went to the doctor. Wouldn't know it by looking at her.

After her shot, she was OUT!

The girls LOVE to help me water the flowers.

Sweet Hayley.

Silly Hannah.

Hayley, so cute with her piggy tails!

SB is so very proud she can climb in the big chair by herself!

May was fun and eventful, can't wait to see what June has in store for us!

Visit to Nannie & Papaw's

The girls and I headed to Nannie and Papaw's house this weekend. I was supposed to go to Canton on Thursday while the girls stayed with Nannie and Papaw. Then, we were headed to Nano and Big Daddy's for a couple of days. Buuuut, I have three kids so plans get changed ALL the time! On Wednesday night about 3am Hannah woke up with croup (ALWAYS happens at 3am). So, I didn't get to go to Canton. We instead woke up and played around Nannie and Papaw's for a few hours before we left for home. We took them out to feed the cows and they LOVED it. Well, at first, we couldn't find them so Papaw loaded them up and drove around to find them and they followed them back to the house.

Papaw went and got some horse apples off the tree to feed them (the cows love them).

Eating a horse apple.

YUMMY!

What's this...

Hannah throwing the apples to them.

Trying to pet them.

Even though I didn't get to go to Canton, we made memories and it was fun!

Maci's Dance Recital

Seems like there has been a lot going on in Hamburg so we've been making trips up there. This trip was for Maci's dance recital. We went early so we could spend some time playing. Everyone had to work so I had the five kids until someone got home.
SB having a drink!

The girls swinging.

Sarah Beth having a snack.

That night, we went to Maci's recital. I wasn't sure how the girls would do. I knew the twins would like to watch Maci but didn't know about the other dancers. Well, much to my surprise, they did PERFECT! Cecil Ray had to leave with SB because she just didn't want to sit still and quiet.

Hannah watching EVERY move...

Telling me I need to clap.

Hannah wanted to take a picture of these girls.

I didn't get any pictures of Maci dancing for some reason. Probable because I was watching the twins dance in the isles.  It was priceless and so fun to watch. Daddy better get ready for all the glitter and costumes!

We tried to get a picture of the girls afterwards.

Can't say we didn't try. We had fun and Maci did GREAT!

Memorial Day Weekend

We didn't do much for Memorial Day Weekend. We went to breakfast Saturday morning (when we saw the gator). Then church on Sunday...

Notice the twins bows...they wanted to pick out their own bows. Hannah purple and Hayley green!

Then, on Monday, we decided to do an act of service to a retired serviceman. Mr. Cullen Keith is a wonderfully sweet man in our church who has had a stroke recently. We decided to bake him some goodies!

Burly but SB was there too!

GATOR!

So, we were driving to breakfast this morning and I was just looking out the window while crossing the creek at the front of our neighborhood and saw this...

AN ALLIGATOR!!

Look right in the middle of the picture and you will see his head. We pulled over and watched him for a little while. It was neat and scary at the same time. He rolled one time and that was cool. A police officer pulled over to see if we needed help and he got out and looked. Said he wouldn't call anyone since it appeared to be under 8ft. long. Apparently, anything under 8ft. isn't considered dangerous and they leave them there. Well, I'm pretty sure a 7ft. alligator could eat my dog, kids and me! Anyway, it was neat to see and I just hope we don't see him in our neighborhood wondering around!

O-Line Senior Dinner

We had the O-Line Seniors over for dinner and a special gift. "Parker" was the first "football boy" to come over and the girls had a special tea party set up for him. He was such a good sport and played along.

Then, after dinner, Tyson and Parker played ring around the rosie with the twins.

We were missing one football boy, but when we had them over at the beginning of the season, we took this same picture.

(Jonathan was missing)

We had a steak dinner with dessert. I made them a picture frame with a picture taken during the season with the O-Line and Coach Cossey. And, we got them each a personalized Bible. Mama Cossey is going to miss this group of boys!

Family Fun Night & Ice Cream

We had family fun night with the church and it was SO HOT! CR was going to go with me but at the last minute decided not to so I took off with the three girls and my homemade ice cream not knowing what to expect. Well, it was an experience to say the least. There was a bounce house for the kids and the twins loved it, I was HOT! Hannah had to go tee-tee so she just climbed out of the bounce house, pulled her pants down and went in the grass...EMBARRASSING!! So, then it was time to eat. We got in line waited and waited for 30 min to get to the front and find out they were out of food (the preachers wife and kids were behind us with her kids, so I'm sure he heard about it too)! Then, magically when all the men came in from skeet shooting, food was served...UPSET is NOT how I'd describe my feelings! So, since we didn't have food, my kids ate ice cream for dinner. Only 4 people brought ice cream for like 300 people so I made sure I served us FIRST! Anyway, that was OK and then, we went back outside to play. I got a few pictures...

Sarah Beth just going with the flow.

I really wanted a "girls" photo...

This was the best one.

Then, I wanted the three of them in a picture with these pretty flowers.

Well, that didn't go so well. The kids had fun which is all that matters. Not sure I will be going again without taking my own food though.

Mommy's Day 2012

We didn't do much for Mother's Day this year. First, the girls and CR brought me breakfast in bed, gave me a card with money to go shopping ALONE and we went to church.
Hayley, Sarah Beth, Me, & Hannah

Then, after church, we went to the park, played and ate lunch.

Sarah Beth in a bubble!

Beautiful Hannah

Sweet Little Hayley

SB is getting REALLY good at climbing on the equipment.

Hannah decided to take some pictures...

We only have one picture of Hayley because she is NONSTOP on the playground!

After the park, we went home for a long nap, had pizza for dinner and called it a night. Nothing big, just time with my little family, that's what I wanted.
