Picture Day

Well now we know why we do not have family pictures :) We attempted to take pictures on Sunday (zackary was going back to his dads so this is the only day we had) We took tons of shots but I think on most of them Riley was being a BOOGER and not smiling. Poor child he looked like her was so sad. Then when we were all done he was jumping around and posing and telling our friend Take my picture Look at me!! crazy Child I have I tell you!!!

He came home from being at papa's and Queenies for 10 days He arrived on Saturday and I had to carry him for a whole Hour cause he wanted to Momy to!! He was so excited to be home!!!

Saturday was our Huge Block Party at the Exchange We had a great turnout and met tons of people I love every stinkin minute of it!!! I did however forget to wear reapply sunscreen. I was out there from 1PM to 1030PM so I got a tad burned!! Oh Well we had a blast!

We had a 20 foot water slide and it was a hit, we had a ballon artist, and a face painter, as well as other bounce houses etc. So at the end of the night around 9 after most of the guests were gone I JUST HAD to go down the WATER SLIDE which then started it all. I grabbed a friend and said Lets Go and we went and next thing we knew EVERYONE (most everyone) started going down!! I had a young girl who was still there with her parents that said "I thought you were going to be a BORING ADULT" NOPE Not me!!! We broke all the RULES (DON'T Faint Friends LOL) and we were going head first, rolling etc............. We had a blast!!!!!!

I can NOT believe that school starts again soon!
It is time to start stressing over the first day of school outfit :)

I know my thoughts are a JUMBLED mess but that is my brain lately and well I am learning to be OK with that :)

Oh and if you will PRAY FOR MY GIRLIE we have to take her in to the Dr I think one of her shoulders is higher than the other which is a sign of scholosis which runs in Eli's family. I know it is not always a big deal but it could be.

Random things :)

Aren't they the cutest kids????? This is all the pictures Zack would comply with :) We have family pictures soon, We are not doing traditional pictures we will be doing more goofy unposed pictures I am so excited!



Riley is gone to Papa's again He would live there if I let him!!





From the reports I have heard he has been having a blast :)



Last night I got to see my good friends step out in faith I am so excited fo them and know they are obeying God. I am so excited to see the rollercoaster God has in store for them!!

School starts in about 1 month CRAZY!! I have been stressing about Riley and Preschool I really wanted him to go to preschool at this school up the street from my house and across the highway from our church office (whic is where we have most of our meetings), and we were too slow. We were number 7 on the wait list. This is a sought after school and his friend from the last preschool will be going there. Riley has been praying at night that he would get to go to this preschool......... So yesterday I got a a phone call and it was the preschool director she wanted to know if we still needed a preschool!!! I had other paperwork that I was going to drop off for another preschool on Monday so I am super EXCITED and it is just down the street from our house YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fireworks and rude people

I have figured it all out now!! Last night we went to Southlake to watch the fireworks and tonight we are meeting our friends in Denton to watch them! Southlake was nice I am a little sad to see the people there and how rude they are REALLY! One tween ran RIGHT INTO RILEY I being the kind person I am immediently said EXCUSE YOU...... It is one thing to run into me but mess with y babies and I am all over you! (Another reason I can not stand going to the mall there are to many people) OK so we keep walking around and we find a spot to stand and listen to the orchester they have there Zackary was sitting on the curb and this OLDER LADY Probaly 45ish set her chair up and kept moving it back until it was hitting him SERIOUSLY... I was MAD MAD MAD! So being the nice person I am I tell Zack to stand up and ask him quiet loudly Are you OK? He said yea Mom and I said I am so SORRY That that lady felt it neccesary to put her chair up and hit him UGHHHHHHHHH So Eli asked should we find another place where I responded Yes cause I might say some very UGLY things to this lady......

We found a spot to sit and watch the fireworks and if anyone KNOW Autumn they know she NEVER STOPS TALKING NEVER until Bedtime...... Well for 20-30 minutess last night she did not say a word while the fireworks were going off.......... Eli told me he thought that was some sort of record :) Riley and Zackary were not as amused as Autumn, Riley wanted to go shoot some fireworks out as did zackary.

I told Eli that we must have fireworks everyday so that I can get 20 minutes of peace and quiet from the girl!! (I really do not know who talks so much that she has learned from)

Happy 4th

AHHHHHHHHH

Wow I went to VBX last night at my "former" church and it was odd and awesome all at the same time :) Love it! It was awesome to see all my friends that I haven't had a chance or time to catch up with. Amazing feeling!

I am blessed to be part of such an amazing group of friends and family!

My husband is serving on a jury for a week. CRAZY I have never known anyone to actually sit on a jury. I am glad he is salary becaused it would be crazy to not be paid!

Zackary is at Disney World I am sure he is having a blast. Autumn is hormonal and she is only 6 YIKES!! And riley well he is still my sweet boy who thinks he is 20 and should only play with hammers and pocket knives! CRAZY Boy!!

Oh and our electricity was out yesterday when we got home it rained like crazy and stormed like crazy and all the way home Autumn said Thank goodness we have a garage door opener well it didn't work since we had no electricity. The other side of our street had electricity CRAZY!! And to top it off it was stinking HOT. And all the hotels that I would stay at were full so we opened all of our windows and tried to sleep. Around midnight the AC came on and I woke up and said Praise the Lord. It did help us teach great lessons to our kids about how other people live etc. I was not the happies camper and was proably pretty grumpy but we made t! The tree down the street however did not make it It was split down the middle crazy the storms came out of nowhere!

Off to break up yet another stinking fight between the 2 babies ARGGG

Friends!

We got out (Autumn and I) earlier this week, We left all of our responsibilities and went and had fun :) We went to see a sweet friend who just had a baby (well 5 weeks ago) and Autumn keeps telling me to have another baby UMMMMMMM NO!! We had a blast just chatting letting the girls play and giggle There is just something about girls giggling that is contagious!! So then we went to see one of my bestest friends and hung out there with her sweet girlie and her son who is also a great little man!! I still can not believe how big her kiddos have gotten!! WOW!! We then went to dinner together and then to HOBBY LOBBY but I may have to boycott Hobby Lobby until December. THEY HAVE THE CHRISTMAS STUFF OUT WHYYYYYYYYYYYY must they do that I mean I love Christmas but seriously it is JUNE!! Only JUNE 6 more months until Christmas. Seriously like all their decor, ornaments and all. CRAZY!! They also have their fall stuff out Summer has just begun people...... There should be a law against putting that stuff out this early. I hope they don't start Christmas music I really may have to go back to see my Pshyc.

OK off my soapbox HA!

My boy is comming home TODAY but they (Autumn and Riley ) are staying at their Queenies and Papas hotel overnight. I will have 2 less people to get out of bed at the crack of Dawn to go to church!

My hubby (who by the way is golfing this morning) woke up at 5 AM to get ready to golf, he was going to a friends house to pick him up and then driving to Burleson together. Well that sweet man had the NERVE to wake me up at 5AM and ask me if I remember how to get to their house and what street it was and what number it is.......... Seriously my brain DOES not function at 5 AM especially when we don't go to bed until 1AM!!

Alrighty back to work I go!!

Peace OUT!

Whew!!

What a month it has been!!

The last day of preschool, Graduation from Kinder, finshing 6th grade. WHEW!

I can not believe school is already out!

The Exchange is going GREAT! It is a very exciting and awesome to see what God is doing.

We have been thinking of selling our house, we decided to wait until all of our debt is paid.

Riley has gone to Eli's parents house for 1 week, I really think he is having a great time and not missing Mommy much! I am sad but happy that he wants to spend time with his grandparents and they are SPOILING him CRAZY!

It is weird only having 1 child here at the house and she is BORED!

Who would have ever guessed but my house is not as clean as I usually keep it, being Children Director takes a lot of time and planning!! I think Eli is suprised and my other friend thinks it is funny :)

I miss all my friends like crazy.

A good friend told me a long time ago not to be afraid of silence and I am learning that silence is a good thing!

My laptop hardrive has crashed 2 times in the last month and all my church stuf was on there......

OK there are my sporadic thoughts of the day

what has been going on?


Well lets see
Autumn can now ride her bike without training wheels, Riley is trying to perfect skateboarding. I am busy working with the Childrens ministry, and Eli is busy with work and whatever I need him to do!!! Love him so much :) Block party on Saturday that is in the works. i LOVE EVERYTHING GOING ON :)
Autumn is abou to be 6 WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN? Aghhhhh

Here she is as a newborn!!!! Isn't she the CUTEST little girlie in the world :)





And now 6 years later

She is still cute just a big drama queen :)
Ok so my life really revolves around those kiddos so I have a couple funny stories!!
First Riley walked up to Autumn (she was playing with playdo at the kitchen table) and he said Hey Autumn you have a spider web on your face. Autumn then YELLED and Riley told her I am just KIDDING!!
Next Autumn could not fall asleep the other night so she started crying. I told her to go to my bed and I would come lay down with her. So as we are laying in bed she started CRYING again. I told her to calm down it would be OK etc. She then proceeds to tell me WHAT IF I AM ONE OF THEOSE BUGS THAT DON'T SLEEP AT NIGHT. I reassured her she was not nocturnal and to close her eyes and rest. I then had to comeo ut to the living room with Eli and laughed so HARD!
Thats all I got now!
