Our New Addition.

Here she is, one of the most adorable kittens ever! This is our new girl Zoey, the ratio between girls and boys is now equal. (Even if they are all animals, it still counts!) She is the sweetest thing. She loves to sleep on my chest, right under my chin. It doesn't really work with Andy though, he doesn't have much to hold her up! he..heee
Last weekend I went with some friends to the Women of Faith Convention in Indianapolis, IN. We had a blast, we left Friday and didn't get back home till Saturday night. It took a couple days to catch up on sleep. Those crazy girls had me eating pizza and swimming at 2 in the morning! We managed to get maybe 2 hours of sleep. The Convention was great as usual. It was spiritually rejuvenating and fun. If you have never heard of Anita Renfroe you need to check her out on YouTube. She is AMAZINGLY hilarious! I loved Nicole C. Mullen, she is pure talent from God. All of the women are, but mostly I love just being able to spend a weekend with Tracey & Kristy. We don't get to do much together, but it is always full of laughs when we do. Thanks for the great weekend girlies!

A lot to late!

Okay, so 2 weeks later I am finally posting a few pictures of our vacation. We went to South Haven, Mi. Stayed in a house for a week and spent most of our time at the beach. It was the most relaxation we have had in a long while! This first pictures was when we went blueberry picking. The boys had so much fun!

Trent's first touch of the water on his feet and he went running.....it was a tad bit chilly!

Trent's favorite thing, building sand castles. He never even went in the water....I was thinking of turning our backyard into a big sand pit.
Mason's first inking, for some reason the kid is just not into letting other people paint on him, but he was happy afterwards.

They had the biggest and best park there. We had a blast and it seems so far gone already, now that we are back to our hectic life. I have tons more pictures and scrapbook pages that I have done, I will try to post again soon. Thanks for looking and I hope everyone is having a good summer!

HIllbilly Swimming Pool!

I haven't posted much because It doesn't feel like we have very much "Big" news, but just like the title of my blog our life is filled with all the little moments that matter most. I have actually been feeling like I didn't have many events to scrapbook, but after looking through my photos I realized there are many just this last month to catch up on. One of my favorites is Our Hillbilly Swimming Pool, the boy's idea of course! Apparently a sandbox was not fun enough, so they took it upon themselves to fill it with water.

I thought catching Trent falling was too cute!

We even found fun on the big rock piles here in town, but then we were told to leave by the police officer.....my goodness they were just being boys playing in rocks!

I thought this was a neat picture with the flag in the background!

The boy's summer cuts! So cute and dirty by 9 am.

Last this ADORABLE picture of my niece Jessica. Since I don't have tons of good news for myself, I can at least share the great news that my brother Cole and My friend Jessica are both expecting little ones in December, and my SIL Kristie just had a baby girl yesterday. Lots of babies!

New Layouts

I thought I would add some of my recent layouts for those family and friends that haven't had a chance to be lured into my house and forced to see them!
Steph, Brett, Mason, & Trent at Cullom Park.

Trent & Brett playing at Cullom park.

Daddy was proud of this picture he took of his muscle boys in the tub.

Mason's many faces!

Trent's cute little run!

Our trip to Kentucky

Me, my Mother and the boys made a impromptu trip to Kentucky when my Great Grandmother passed away. We had a good time aside from the reason we went. I thought the boys looked adorable all dressed up. Mason was bored and wouldn't humor me with a smile.

Trent always pulls off the cutest smiles though!

The last day we went to a State park and went on a Cave tour. This ended up being one of the best pictures from the trip. Both the boys and my mom look great. Definitely Scrapworthy!
My brave boy. I honestly did not think he would feed a horse. I was a bit nervous myself, but I let him do it. I don't want him scared of everything. He loved it and the horses were gentle. The expression on his face is priceless!
Yes, My Mother even got me to love on the horse even though I am a bit scared of them!

Family photo day.

Well it was a BEAUTIFUL Sunday afternoon and we were all dressed in new summer clothes going to church, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to get a Family photo. Apparently I was the only one who liked this idea! My pictures are not in order, I still haven't figured out how to post correctly.


I can not wait to scrap these pics of Mason. I was using a new lens and I really love the quality of the pics. He looks so care-free.

My sexy hubby, I really like this one, he hardly ever gets any good pictures.
And this was at the end of the day when we told him it was time to go home, not so care-free anymore!
I LOVE!!!!! this picture. Ideally I wanted a close sweet picture but this is what they gave me. Trent was refusing to humor me with pictures, but I love the arms crossed and Mason with his hands in his pocket....well he poses now! So funny!
Out of only 2 family shots they let me take, this one came out pretty good considering!
Me & My boys.
Eric is a hard one to get good pictures, but I really like this one. We kept telling him to clean his face because we thought he had a drink mustache, but it was not coming off. Is it possible he could be getting a mustache....my gosh the kid is only 10!
This picture is a perfect one to finalize my post. Smile, be happy and have a great week!

Spring is in the air!

We are so happy for Spring weather! The boys have been outside all week, it has been beautiful, aside from the few days it was a little chilly. They have already picked our first spring flowers. We have been to parks, played baseball, blew bubbles, and enjoyed fresh sand in the sandbox. Oh yes they even picked ALOT of fresh worms that I accidentally dug up.

We ended up giving Eric his Bday present early, we gave him a WII, that thing is so cool. I am lovin the tennis, it is so much fun.

I have a few new scrapbook pages that I am dying to share, BUT, I am going to enter them in Memory Makers Masters so I cant put them online anywhere. Hopefully you will just have to see them in a magazine (I wish!)

Off to get the boys ready for school!
