"PROJECT TIME"

We collected a bunch of sticks on one of our little morning nature hikes and brought them home to make a sign for our pond area!! It turned out awesome the boys did a great job!!

"I'M FOW NOW ... I CAN WACE"

It's official .. Rhett Man is racing his 1st race this weekend now that he is four!!! I was saying how bummed we all are because Trey is going to miss this next race and its one of the coolest tracks of the season yadayadayada and Rhett told me with his serious face on ... "momma I'm fow now, I can wace ... wemember"!! So he has been practicin' on the track at home and he says he's ready to rock and roll on Saturday!!! I have to be honest though .. I'm pretty nervous!!!

"TREY'S ARM"

Went to the Dr. yesterday and finally got good news (I was beginning to dispise that darn dr's office as it always brought bad news)Trey's arm is healing great from surgery and Dr. Wall believes only 3 more weeks of cast!! Woooo Hooooo!! This is great news for Trey who is, although copeing very well and getting around fine with it, so ready to have it off so he can go back to his normal activities and maybe get one more swim in before the summer is gone, but also for mom who is tired of fighting shower time, trying to keep him somewhat calm so we dont have a re-injury and dealing with the stinky thing!! Never realized how much those things can reek .. my lord!!! So we are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that when we go back in 3 weeks the good news continues!!


Hopefully this is the last!!

"TOO BIG FOR HER BRITCHES"

Rilyn decided at dinner last night that the only way she was going to eat was to feed herself ... I figured this out after about 5 minutes of her screaming, saying no, slapping the fork out of my hand and repeated pointing .. until finally the light bulb went on in my head and I realized she was pointing at the fork!!! So I let her have at it!! She actually did an awesome job and got a lot more down the hatch than I expected!! I still feel like she is waaayyyy to little to already be feeding herself .. but I guess I will just have to suk it up!!

"READY TO GO TO SCHOOL WITH BRO"!!

Rilyn says she's ready to join bro at school today .. equipped with her lunch box, her bear bear and the cutest outfit in the world (thanks Aunt Lacey)!!!

"WATERMELON COOKIES"

the boys made watermelon cookies for football sunday ... they didn't turn out to be the prettiest things in the whole world but they sure were delicious!! and the best part is they had a BLAST making them (watermelon cut into shapes with cookie cutters, frosted with yogurt & topped with sprinkles) .. although daddy made sure to let me know that I need to extend my collection of cookie cutters .. hahahaha .. apparently flowers, hearts & roses dont make the cut, I was informed that I need some trucks,quads, etc...!!!

"VASECTOMY"

Well today was the big day .. poor Clayton finally went in for his vasectomy (HALLE-LU-YA, no more bundles of joy, love, poop, snot, spit up, attitude, etc .. etc .. for us) so anyways it went really well and he didn't feel hardly any pain just a little bit of uncomfortableness! The anxiety leading up to the whole ordeal was much worse than the actual procedure, atleast that's the story for now .. we'll see how he feels tomorrow!!! So..we are in the room ready to go (I wont go into details!!)waiting for doc to come in and start and we are just bsin' about this and that when i caught a glimpse of the magazine selection in the room ... ummm keep in mind we are in the vasectomy room!!! I couldn't help but photograph the irony!! LOL!!

"The Introduction"

I guess it only makes sense that I start off with a little family introduction ... we are a family of 6 ... I know crazy ... the typical question we get is .. "GOT KIDS" and the answer is "ABSOLUTELY" hahahaha!!

First we have Myself & Clayton, aka Daddy & Momma. Clayton is a total manly man who loves anything with a motor, fishing, tinkering around in his garage (for hours), Mr. fix it, and the best daddy & hubby in the world. As for me, well I am a lover of photography, crafts, football, sunshine and family.

Then there is Charlotte Rae, who is 8 and in 3rd grade. She is our girly girl who loves all "girl" stuff, Hannah Montana, movies and is an amazing pretender!! Then there is Trey Eugene who is 5 and just started Kindergarten this year. He is our follow the rules, by the book wants to know exactly whats going to happen and in what order, Mr. inquisitive, loves to play games (and always hands us our butts), the best big brother in the world, motor head. Next is Rhett Bradley who is 4. He is our Mr. personality with the ABSOLUTE BEST facial expressions, music lover, awnry, momma's official back scratcher, loves to work with daddy on all/any projects, a tad bit rebellious, independant little love. Last but not least there's Rilyn Kate, who is 1. There is no doubt in our minds that she is gonna give us a run for our money!! She thinks and knows that she is "queen b" around this household and boy o boy does she not only have daddy wrapped but both her brothers as well, so tight around that cute little finger of hers!! She knows exactly what she wants and has already mastered "no"!!

We also have two 4-legged members of the family ... Murphy (Bubba) our chocolate lab, who is a total spaz and a big duffis!! And Cloe our rotweiler, who is such a love but the biggest pain in the butt!!

So there is a little bit about our clan!!

" A Whole New World"

Sooooo ... I'm still havin some reservations to starting the whole blogging world, but with alot going on in the family, plenty to talk about and a little encouragement from Candis ... along with reading some other people's way cool blogs ... I'm jumpin in!!! We'll see where it takes me .. and if I can keep up with it .. lol!! In the beggining here I will probably have to do some back tracking but hopefully in due time I will get us up to date!! So with that being said .. I guess wish me luck!!
