What! Snowing in March???

Now, this does not even seem right, snow in nearly April! Go away snow.
















Beasties are cuddling up today.















Trying on Jairus' tux.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter. The kids played and grownups hung out and ate! We couldn't do an egg hunt because the good old rain came for a visit, but it was fun just the same.

Jairus rockin' out.

A Long Day

Jairus had a big day today. He spent the day with his daddy, then went to his grandma & Papa's house to dye eggs with his cousins. Hopefully I will get some pictures from Carol or Sam to put on here to show you all.













I had some prep work to do for tomorrow, so I sent my boys and Soph into our room to watch a movie. They didn't last long as you can see.

Jairus' Tux

My big brother is getting married in May. Jairus is going to be the ring bearer, and I just ordered this tux for him. So cute. The tie is going to be a different color though.

The softer side of Duff.

I love when Duff is like this. Still, and quiet. So cute.

Almost Over

He will be home soon! And oh boy am I ready to see my husband! It has come to my attention how good of a husband I really do have. His absence has shown me how much support and help he gives me. Since he left, I have been constantly wanted and pulled, climbed and drooled on for affection from the beasts and the monster. When Tim is home, he is always pulling one of them away so I can have room to breathe; I never noticed before how much he shares the load of the home with me. Not to mention, I miss his presence. Sleeping next to him is MUCH more comfortable than sleeping in between 300 pounds of dog and a toddler!

Tim is doing well too. He is ready to be home. While in Georgia, he said he has learned a lot from the training he is going through- so that is good. He got to go see his friend Caleb (a soldier stationed with him in S. Carolina) this weekend, they worked out and saw a movie. While down there, he has gone hunting for wild pigs, and actually got to shoot at one, but didn't take him down. He is loving the weather out there and the polite Southern hospitality. He is currently getting his resume prepared to apply for a position with F.P.S. (federal protective service). Please pray for Tim, that God gives him favor with finding a new career path. It is so nerve racking to wonder how we are going to support our family after the military. God is good, I know He will take care of us, the not knowing how, where or when is the hard part. Patience has never been a quality of mine.

I am ready for his military service to be over. This family has had enough seperation to last a lifetime. I am thankful for his service, it has helped to shape Tim into the incredible man he is today. And let's face it, I have seen him in the military uniform for a while now, I am ready to see him in a Cop's uniform! Now that's hot! I told him he could be a firefighter and that would be equally hot, but Tim has no desire to fight fires. Oh well, Tim will be the hottest cop around! Lucky me!

Got Buzzed!

Got a new buzz cut! He did so good while the guy was shaving his head. I like it, he looks so big now!

Cousins hanging out~

I got to take Miah home with me last week! The kids had a good time. They ate popcorn and watched movies. They play pretty well together, Miah is a good big cousin.
