The Stache!

Commonly refered to as a “mustache”. There are many types of staches….some staches are BIG, some are small…some are young, some are old.

Joshua’s daddy got him a pack of “staches” for his birthday. And being a funny boy….he LOVED them. We had the “papa stache” the “stern general” the “friendly barber” and the “ev”. Jenna loved her new stache, until she discovered that with little effort she could actually lick it. What fun!

Other interesting staches….

What’s Black and White & Red all over?

PETRA’S BABY SHOWER!!!!!!!!!!!

The Food was delicious!!! Allison and her mom did a wonderful job with all of the food and the beautiful cake! :)

Jenna & Delaney enjoyed all of the attention & playing with each other. Although, it was much different from the other day….Delaney would scream and lil Jenna would just pucker out that bottom lip. so sad.

This was one of the cutest games!!! & Much harder than it looks I might add. well…have you ever tried to dress a baby blind folded?? – and at 3am in the dark DOES count!!! :) Petra was actually one of the top winners!!! GO PAY! Baby Newkirk is set to go... (if she's ok with lookin like a naked 80’s dance instructor)

10 Things about me

1. My shower last night was amazing, (1st shower at home in a week) needless to say, I was in there for a LONG time.
2. I say my favorite color is pink, but really I’m totally in love with EVERY color in the rainbow!
3. When I was little, I couldn’t say cotton ball…they were cockle balls.
4. I have one tattoo on my right foot (have had it for 6 years) and still the other day I thought it was on the left foot. ha!
5. This blog is my way of keeping track and looking back on my life…since apparently I don't have much time to scrapbook anymore. (now that my scrapbooking room is finished)
6. Many things make me gag….the smell of beer, cigarettes, and spoiled milk. The words crusty, creamy and oozy.
7. I'm nauseous thinking about #6.
8. I’m gifted with the number of best friends I have. You know who you are…I LOVE YOU ALL & would do ANYTHING in the world for you!
9. This weekend is SOOO busy…so if you need me, and we don't already have plans…chances are it will be best to find me on Monday. Unless you know you’re in #8. ;)
10. I love the lord with all of my heart and soul.

Spring is in the air.

I took the boys to Kanawha State Forest this weekend. What a BEAUTIFUL day it was! We had a lil picnic in the park, the kids played in the creek & then we headed over to the shooting range. We all had a wonderful time. Ahh…Spring is in the air!

I kept saying “its only a matter of minutes before someone falls in the creek”. I was so right!!!! Joshua fell right on his butt and had to wear his wet clothes the rest of the day. poor boy!

Curious Jenna

Sometimes I forget to go in Jenna’s room and actually play. So, we spent the evening in there the other day and it was great. We had so much fun. Play. Laugh. Learn.

Cautious of the stroller/walker…Jenna decided to give it a shot. And whatda ya know? SHE LOVED IT!

Discover Engineering - Two Oh Oh Nine!

Discover Engineering has become an annual event for us. The boys (Joe & Joshua) LOVE all of the science experiments and of course the homemade ice cream! Little Jenna even enjoyed it this year. She played in the water with Mommy, Pay Pay & Baby Newkirk (name soon to be announced). If you haven't gone to DE at the CC….we recommend going!! :)

Long Day….zZzZz
