It is a good reason

I haven't been a good blogger! We moved! Through packing, rearing of children, moving, being without internet...the blog has suffered!

Here are some photos of the kids in their new rooms.My pirate/monkey/jailbird! He did not want to be in his bed, even for a photo. He was all over the place, and this was the best I got.
This was his cowboy face!
Miss Thang.
The boys are sharing a room again. I love this photo. Can you tell which one is teething?

The below photos are from the old house, during the packing process. I gave Parker and Emaline a box and asked them to pack it for me. Really just trying to keep them busy. Parker packed his horses, LIKE THIS!
If you can't tell, they are all standing up in the bottom of the box. He cried when Bowden reached into the box and removed one of them, causing a domino effect.

And the below photos. It is really hard to pack when you have this on your legs! OR UNPACK for that matter!

July 4th!

These bad boys are ALL out of order, but come on! It is 1:13 AM!

My 2 big kids got their face painted at the Trophy Club carnival.

Parker did the spinning thing.
Bowden enjoyed his fan a bit!

The cousins.

The way the parade went! Bowden checking us out in the back from the front.



4 good friends.


And, just so you know it doesn't just happen once! HE CLIMBS INTO EVERYTHING! This time Parker was there, and the roof was OFF the barn this time.

Bowden's birthday party

Happy first birthday Bowden! We celebrated sweet B's birthday last Sunday at MIL's house!


Lauren and Lindsay

Mammy

MIL created this little arrangement with the invitation.

The table, but as I look at it, this picture was taken before I finished.
Stacey doing some grilling.
Jim (FIL) was gracious to share his birthday with Bowden's birthday party.


These cups were a hit! I made some lemonade and the kids just kept refilling at the spout! I wrote their names on them and probably saved a ton in juice boxes!





I love this photo. I took the cake away, and he relaxed!Then GOT REAL MAD, but not for long!
We had a pinata! The kids LOVED it! Bowden and Isaiah were some of the most excited!

Bowden would cheer and encourage everyone! I LOVE HIS FACE here!


Isaiah loved it!

Once the candy came out, Isaiah would bring candy piece by piece to nana.




Isaiah didn't want to leave the party!
The best kisser in the world puckering up!

More kisses!


I had to include the next 2 photos because this is what I am dealing with. Bowden loves to crawl with things in his hands, all over the house. He especially likes the WII controllers. I found this one in his fisher price hippo thing.And the above photo. Feel his pain, or mine! He crawls into everything! E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G! He even tried to crawl into a large gift bag today! He crawls into the dishwasher, the dryer, a basket, between chair lets, toys, and BARNS! I know I was a bad mom when I left him and went to get my camera, but COME ON! I had to document this!

A sweet family

Bowden's friend Jackson was born 1 week before he was. We got to celebrate with them right before they moved!
Bowden pushing J around!
Emaline loved Ms. Angela!
My friend!
And trouble. The 4 with out their little brothers. I wonder why I didn't think about putting the boys in the photo! Silly me. I will cherish this. and AG, this is the photo I am sending to callea! We love you!

You can see more photos of their family on the photo blog!

Happy Birthday Bowden!

You sweet thing. Today is your birthday! I was a mean mommy and took you for your 1 year appointment this morning! Your weight is in the 50th percentile, your height was above 75% and well, your head....above 95% to hold in all your brains! Bowden, you are a joy! I love to watch you throw a ball and chase it down, just to throw it in another direction and chase it down again. You love to crawl 90 miles an hour! Nothing seems slow for you. You love to pick up a remote and point it at the tv to change the channel. You like to crawl with things in your hands, making some lovely noise across the kitchen floor. Your brother and sister can make you laugh like no one else can. You aren't real big on eating big kid food, but you love your baby food. You don't like to be confined in your high chair or shopping cart. You can crawl out of each, and if you can't you let anyone around you know that you are unhappy! You ARE the best kisser in the world. You try to say what we are saying. You love to walk under tables by holding onto chairs or knees of the people sitting at the table. You LOVE to be outside. You DO NOT like to sleep. If you sleep in the car, you don't transfer very well, or sleep long after the transfer. TO this day, your daddy hasn't slept through the night since you were born. You have the best daddy in the world to get up with you EVERY TIME you let us know you are tired of being asleep or want a bed change!

I love you B man, B, stinker, best kisser, and my favorite, HOT STUFF.

tough day

Saying goodbye. to friends. to family. tough. day.

Don't get me started. Tears. Just stop it. I mean it. Don't DON'T cry one more tear Paige Pearson.

Father's Day gifts

We did some homemade gifts this year. We made blackberrys for Daddy and Buddy! I didn't think Bop would know what one was! I found this idea on another blog I have found and am addicted to the website. It might have come off of the sight with that new button down on my blog on the left. I thought some of you might enjoy that website! The kids totally helped with this project. I guess you can tell that from the keyboard. At first I laid my phone out and we were trying to match where the keys went, then I just gave up and told them to have it!
WE also made pen/pencil cans for the men at work. Also taken off of one of my new favorite blogs. I had to adjust it a bit and photoshop'd some scrap to make it fit. EMaline cut these out all by herself. In fact, that is what she is doing in the below post with the amazing outfit.

I hope you guys had a great Father's Day! I know we have the best daddy and grandfather's!
