Puppies Baseball and Kids-just pictures

First let me explain this picture- Remember that Lucky is part Boston Terrier and part Jack Russel Terrier.the day after Lilly gave birth-the kids woke up and found a jack russel terrier dog and a puppy outside that was boston terrier. The kids were so excited so they came to get me.

I went outside to check and it was a jack russel with a puppy that was identical to Lucky. Looks like Lucky has been "cheating on Lilly". Poor girl. LOL let me explain that too-Shawn asked where the puppies came from and I wasn't sure how to answer him so he answered himself- It's like you and dad-ya'll got married and had me and Kathy. So lucky and lilly got married and now she has to have babies. So below are all the puppies and kids in baseball and a few others..

Missing but tons of action

It has been awhile but it has not been because we have nothing going on-it's just been busy since Shawn's birthday.
This is our first full week of summer. Summer is my favorite season and I live for every day that the sun is out and there are no plans and I can just sit in my backyard and let the sun burn my skin and watch kids play and nothing weigh on my mind.
Since the last post we have had end of the year awards, track meet, my diploma is actually getting here in 3 weeks, me being sick, Bryan getting poison ivy and using LIME to kill it.
We also have had the luck of having 8 boston terrier puppies from the now married "lucky and lilly".
I am looking for a job and keep praying one will show that will work with my kids so they do not have to be sacraficed.
The decision to go to churchcamp has still not been decided-we want to find or rent a camper so that me and the kids will have a place to stay and not impose on anyone. But it does not look like that will happen.
Oh yeah plus baseball season-Gosh Shawn just played his last game yesterday which was amazing-he has grown soo much in the past few months. The team I coach with some friends and also Kathy's team may have a chance to go to playoffs-CRAZY!
Did I mention that I actually now have a degree. LOL yea I know it's just an associates and I still have 2 years before the bachelors but hey a few years ago I never thought I would get this far.
Kathy turns 8 in a few weeks and I have no idea what to do for her bday. I think we are planning another 4th of July Bash-which is my all time favorite holiday.
The kids have been sleeping in, and spending all day outside in their swimsuits-in and out of the pool and sprinkler, and Shawn is turning dark and his hair is getting lighter and Kathy is too.
Vacation Bible school starts Monday and I am teaching Kathy's class.
I have not talked to anyone lately just hanging out here and trying to figure out our summer and when we can plan things. OH I officially become a CASA advocate on the 10th- I am being sworn in at the courthouse in Hamilton or the bank because the courthouse is under construction.
Today, since it rained last night, I took the kids to see the movie UP-I think every family in America should see it. IT really hits home and makes everyone think about life and it is good for the adults to see it too-super cute and clean and just makes you realize what is really important in a time of today. We also saw The Night at the Museum 2-it was cute and okay there was some adult humor but it was ok.
I think that about sums everything up. Miss everyone and hope all is well-Best wishes and hollar later and I will post pics in a few minutes of puppies, baseball, and kids.

KAT AND I AT THE ZOO

I was able to make it to the zoo field trip with Kathy this year. It was fun and fast paced.

Here are a few pics of her and the zoo trip.

Happy Birthday Shawn

Shawn's birthday party was a blast and it was a full day.

Full of baseball, cooking, eating way too much and ended with roasting marshmellows and making smores.

Shawn had a blast and a total of 39 people were able to come. The party started at 6:30 and did not end until 11:45 that night.

First we went to baseball games-I am coaching Kathy's team and Bryan is coaching Shawn's team. So we are the Hico Bling and the Hico Hunters. To be honest the other coaches thought of the names and Bryan and I just agreed but it fits both teams well.

After the games we came home and prepared for the day-we had no idea what we were getting into. We invited a total of 45 and 39 showed.

Shawn had friends from baseball, and church and we had family there too.

Here are a few pictures of the monkey themed party-

Here's to another great and fun filled year of life!

Easter Fun

Easter was fun and exhausting.

The kids have way too much junk and sweets. It was fun hanging out with family. It was the first time that my family has been together in over a year. Kathy and Shawn finally got to see the baby twins-Eli and Landon. The twins were perfect and precious. They are a constant reminder for me that miracles can still happen and to be thankful for everyday that you have. I didn't get to do as much on the ranch as I wanted but the weather was awful. It rained one night and the wind did not stop-but it was still fun.
Kathy got out on Thursday afternoon so I took pictures from then til the end

OH and one is of Kathy with a busted lip-she fell down at school-I felt so bad for her. She did not get to eat anything at her Easter party-it looked awful. The pictures really do not show you how big her lip got. She iced it forever and even fell asleep on top of the ice pack and it looked even bigger after icing it over night.

All is well now and we are back to a busy week. Bryan and daddy and Lance and my uncle went fishing so pictures from that will be up soon.
