Days like this…

For some reason, Ty has decided to be a little challenging.  I keep thinking he might be learning it at pre-school (which he started last week) or that he just doesn’t feel well or something – anything… I need some explanation, because up until now, he has literally been the perfect little boy.  He never...

August 29, 2007 - 1:23 pm cynthia - it never hurts to "vent"...most of the time it's more than helpful! us "moms" have to do that, you know ? hang in there...jackson is like your son, most of the time he's an angel and has been for what seems like forever...probably just a "stage"! but then there are the times when i wonder who's child is this ?

The more I seek you…

I’m not one to push my ideals or beliefs on others…
I don’t even make it to church very often…
I pray every day.
I pray for my children and my children’s children.  I pray for my husband.
I have very strong beliefs… even if you don’t see them very often.  This I had to share.
I was so moved...

Road trip to the Arbuckles

Okay, I said we had a totally busy weekend!  I wasn’t kidding!  After Friday night at the race track, we got up Saturday morning, piddled around a bit, got in the van, and headed South.  We were takin’ a road trip!  First stop…Tishomingo, Oklahoma to visit my family.  They’re in the process of building a...

Race Night – OK State Fair Speedway

We’ve had the busiest weekend!  Normally, we’re low key around here and are pretty much homebodies.  However, this weekend, we went all out!  Josh and I had been talking about taking Ty to the dirt track races for most of the summer and had never made it there until this weekend.  We planned ahead and...

August 27, 2007 - 8:44 am Meliss - Ooh, I love the smell of the dirt track! The last time I went to the local track, Tony Stewart showed up and raced with the local guys! It was quite a thrill. Love your pictures!!

August 27, 2007 - 1:39 pm cynthia - so glad to know you guys are as "red" as us!

Photo fun around the house and Great Grandma Shirley

Today, for some reason, I was in a picture-taking mood.  I was outside in my pjs this morning just lookin’ for something to shoot.  The poor dogs are always my loyal subjects – today it was Josie, our chocolate lab.  Ty gets to where he runs from me when I have the camera – today...

Wes Owen – 6 months

It’s time… 
Everyone says Wes gets a little neglected on the blog.  So, this time, he gets his own post.  This week my smallest little guy turned 6 months old.  He’s the funniest little thing – really has some personality.  He laughs mostly at his brother and not so much for Mom and Dad.  But,...

If you haven’t seen this yet, you have to…  I’m still laughing! 
But, before you watch…

I’m a sweet God-fearing gal that doesn’t condone teaching youngins to curse, drink, or act rudely.  I just really like to laugh!!! 
So, don’t hold this against me!  It’s unsual for me to share interesting tidbits like this, especially...

Pre-School

Yesterday was Ty’s first day of pre-school/mother’s day out.  It’s the first time ever, really, that he’s been away from me without being watched by a relative (mostly grandma).  I’d been prepping him for a week about how much fun school was going to be (remember he’s only 2 1/2).  He really has no idea...

August 22, 2007 - 12:51 pm cynthia - oh...i feel for you AND HIM, that first day was such a bummer...for me ! jackson actually had a blast...he's such the socialite!!! good for you for sticking to it...sometimes there is no easy way, even when it seems so horrible (although i didn't have the kicking and screaming thing...thank goodness!) from the photos..he looked "so ready" ! little did he know....right ? love that verse too!
