WHAT'S UP!!!!!!!

I know, pick yourself off the floor, it has been awhile since I have updated my blog. Well, I have been busy..... okay I am lazy. Lots has happened since the last time I wrote. We have had some heartache and also some blessings in our lives within the last couple of months. All I have to say is "Hold on, you never know what is around the corner, but enjoy the ride!"

The kids are growing up so fast. I can't believe that Ryen Paige will be 5 in just a few short days and Jack will be 1. Ryen will be starting Kindergarten and Carter will be in the 3rd Grade. I can't believe it. I can remember when I was in 3rd Grade and Mrs. Blake was my teacher. I swear it was just yesterday.

This weekend has been very much jammed back. We had Ryen's B-day party at a little park and invited a few of her friends. It was stressful trying to get everything ready, but it was fun. We did have a little accident though. Carter was taking Jack down the slide and Jack's leg got stuck under Carter as they went down. Jack screamed and screamed and wouldn't put any weight on his leg. We were concerned and so we took him to the doctor today. He now is a proud owner of a splint and it has to wear it for a few days. The doctor just called us and told us that the X-rays showed that he didn't fracture his leg, which we are thrilled about, but Jack has to wear the splint until the swelling goes down. If he won't stand after the swelling is down, we have to take him to a specialist. We are praying he will be able to stand without any problems. We will see.

Here is his doing patty cakes while I am trying to get his picture. He was such a good boy when we were at the doctor's office. I was very proud of him. By the way, Kim, Jack only weighs 22 pounds, what is Halster at now?

He feel asleep on the way home. I couldn't resist this picture. Ryen had given him her duck to make him feel better. It was cute of her. Carter just kept apologizing to him. He feels horrible about it but we keep telling him that it was an accident.

Here is Ryen's High School Musical Cake. She picked it out herself. She loved it and all the kids loved it. It was gone within a matter of minutes.

Here are all of Ryen's little friends, except for Hayley. She was over making friends with some other kids.

Ryen the birthday girl. She had a lot of fun at her party. I was happy that the weather was nice and the park wasn't packed with lots of people. I think the kids enjoyed themselves.

I want to wish my "Sweet Pea" a Happy Birthday!!! I love you so much. I can't imagine my life without you. You are such a sweet little girl. I know I tease you about how mean and nasty you are but I love that you are that way. You don't let anyone walk all over you and you aren't afraid of things, yet you are so sweet and tell us all the time that you love us the mostest. Five years ago, I had no idea what a blessing I was going to be receiving. You are my little girl, my only little girl, and I love you so much.

Well..... I have lots to say but I must end. I will try to keep up on my blog, but I am not promising anything.

By the way, "Thanks" Mom and Doyle, Hailie, Joe Ann, and Eddie for coming to Ryen's Birthday party. We loved having you and I know that it made Ryen's day to have you all there. I love my family and how supportitive they are. You all are the best!!!!!
