Team Kids...

I help Bea w/the 4 year old during Wednesday night's team kids. It is so fun. They are all so cute! Sometimes a hand full but sweet kids. This week we had a birthday party for all the birthday's for the entire year. We took a few pics of the kids...

1st row...Bea, Heather, Isaac, Tommy & Tanner,
2nd row..Jayden, Cooper, Victoria & Elizabeth...



Tommy (he always has such cute stories to tell every week)


Tanner sometimes isn't happy having to come to class but he always has a good time.


Cooper is really excited that his mom is having a baby..


Heather & Jayden (This is the 1st night Heather has been in class since I started about a month ago but I did get to help her shop at the magic market for Christmas..she is very sweet. Jayden is a handful. She is really cute but you never know what she is going to do...)


Isaac is my neighbor and he is so adorable...funny and sweet


Victoria & Elizabeth ..these two are sooo loving. They give lots of hugs.

Red Hat Fundraiser

We had a really good time. We got a good laugh out of it. I am posting the pictures that I think will be ok to post...some of them the women were wearing some stuff I'm not sure they would want to many to see...that's why there was no men allowed this year.

This was before the show...Mel & Shannon did not want their pictures taken...


Me, being a good sport...I let mom take my pic...


Randy's sister, Lucinda...


My mom being a goofball..


Randy's mom, Helen, singing...she was in the other part of the program too but I'm not sure she would want me to post them... ;0)



This is how funny it was...this is Angie and Kathy, & Heather..


The classy Red Hatters...

oops, I forgot to post a few Easter pics...

Logan and Ashton (*Ashton asked my why I took so many pics of him. I told him it's because I miss him so much when he is in Chicago that I need them to remind me of him. Then he posed for all the pics I wanted...Seth on the other hand was a different story...see next photo)




Austin is to cool...


Cylee & Ashton w/Mimi


Cody's mugshot...;0)

Family Pictures....

We have never all had one big family picture made...until now. I have to admit we are a goodlooking bunch..we do have a couple missing. Lauren (Kelly's daughter) and John (Carrie's husband)...It seems its just to hard to get ALL of us actually in one place at one time...




Mom & Dad

Logan & Madison...


Special thanks to Crystal Seay. Excellent job on all our pictures.. You are a great photographer and a good friend.

Thanks again Crystal!!

Madison announced her faith to the world this morning...

We are sooo very happy for her. Pastor Al let me bring my camera to the back. ;) She decided she wanted to be baptized in the shirt that the church gave her. It has our church moto on the front but the back says I was dunked at First Baptist Church Pea Ridge. She thought being baptized in it will just make it even more special.

The first picture is when we were waiting...it's Madi & Pastor Al.


Right before...


right after...


Her friend, Sam, got baptized too. This is them right after...look how happy they are...I so remember that feeling...one of so much hope, love, peace...

What a nice day today....

We went to the park for a game of kickball. Of course this is as much as the girls would play...


I asked them to take some pictures w/my camera..and this is Duncan.


Kathy...we decided we might be to old for this game...


Logan...waiting for someone to kick it his way...


Randy making Kathy and I look bad...


Jonah is ready...thank goodness he was on our team..the little speed demon..


I was the pitcher most of the time but when I was in the field I ran my legs off...


and Charlie was to a time or two....

Madison

She is set on this Sunday. She will be baptized at the morning service. It starts at 9:30 am. FBC in Pea Ridge. She is soooo excited. Hope to see you there.

update and another busy weekend...

An update on everyone...;)
Logan has started baseball practice. We have been told there will be a lot of games this season so that should be fun. Randy and Logan have joined Dye Hard's gym and have started working out together. Logan really looks forward to it and I believe Randy does too even though he is completely exhausted when they get home. They have been doing it about a month now and Logan is to cute when he shows me his muscles and how his abs are coming along. He is at that age where his appearance is very important.
Madison is going to be baptized. Randy and I are thrilled and so happy for her. One of the questions Pastor Al asked her was when she was saved and it reminded me of her story. She was going to church w/her babysitter, Ina. She came home one night and was telling me all about how she was saved and how wonderful life was going to be. She was so cute. Then every friend, cousin, or whomever she could tell about it she would ask them if they were or wanted to be saved. She would say the prayer w/them and she would get sooo excited. As soon as she gets the date worked out I will let you all know in case you want to be there. ;)
Randy has not been working as much. They cut out his overtime. Which on one hand is good so that he can actually work a normal work week. When they have overtime (which used to be constant) he worked way to many hours. He has a lot more time at home now which is nice because he gets to be home by the time the kids get home from school. The downside is vacation is coming up and we sure could use that money. He hasn't had much going on other than work, church, and working out w/Logan. I'm hoping the weather will hurry up and actually be spring so he can play some golf. :)
As for me. I've just been working, hauling kids all over creation as usual and trying to lose some weight. I think it's one heck of an uphill battle. I'm hoping to lose 25 more lbs by vacation. Which is in 76 days...so keep me in your prayers on that. Lord knows I need the help.

Now, for the weekend. My goodness.. Friday we had Emily's surprise wedding shower at work and she was surprised! It was hard to keep it a secret considering we all share a pod! I have posted a pic of her and her soon to be hubby, John.

How cute are they?


We had a garage sale Saturday (trying to make a little money to put in the vacation fund) Jaelin was being goofy so I had to take her picture. For those of you that don't know Jaelin she is my friend Angie's daughter.

Jaelin


Also Saturday was the Pea Ridge High School Prom. I went out to Angie's to get some pictures of Jase before he left. He looked sooo handsome.

Jase and his prom date...(I'm so bad w/names I have forgotten her name, but she looked very pretty.)


Saturday night was the PLP banquet. My sister Tracy received a 20 year service award. I can't believe she's worked there the same amount of years I've been alive. *hehe


Randy and I (he was not to comfortable w/out his hat. See it on the table? Yep, he brought it and put it on as soon as the dinner and awards were over..)


Kelly & Kim (he had to be the jokester...)


Mom & Dad


I do not have a picture of John and Tracy because she was to good to sit w/us. ;)
