Cowboy

Myles got lots of cool things for his birthday, but one of them was a cowboy gun(from Papa Bob and Auntie Robin) which you can use to "shoot" cans off a log complete with sound effects! Now everyday is cowboy day! Myles even sleeps with his cowboy gun.
It's a good thing we have this guy 'cause we need someone to keep us safe when Daddy's at work!

Myles even sported the hat while doing his school work(the gun wasn't far away either!)

Aren't those nice d's, by the way:).

My first baby

I haven't written just about Kyra in a while. There's lots to tell, lots to be thankful for- more to come on all that...But for now I'm grateful for what God is showing me about myself, through her. Kyra, more than the other kids so far, is most like me. This is sometimes good and sometimes bad:). Sometimes fun, and sometimes not very fun. But as I tell her, God has put us in a family together to help each other become more like Jesus. And for that I am very very grateful!

Because She's Cute:)

According to Hayley...

"Girl Cheese"

Big Man Around Here

Somehow, our boy turned 5 last week!! He makes us laugh, tells funny jokes, wants to live with Mommy even when he's married, is always wrapping up his toys to give away to friends as "presents", is so so sweet to his baby sister, loves to hit baseballs with Daddy, likes to sneek up on people and shoot them with his dart gun, adds blue to our world of pink:)...

We love you, Myles!
At Toys R Us getting his birthday balloon!
Myles wanted a "sports party" which turned into a "baseball party"!

Before the party...

Daddy and the crew!!

Today I'm 5!!!

The new shark bike from Daddy and Mommy.

Daddy pitched and we played a good old fashioned baseball game. It was boys against girls and all the kids(and some adults) got to take turns hitting homeruns!! Myles has a killer swing:)!

Cousin Reese hitting her first pinata!

Myles and his little buddy Wyatt- high 5's for the boys team!

We couldn't find a baseball pinata and Myles wanted the football one, so this is what we ended up with!

My favorite boy!

My favorite man and favorite boy!

"Sluggers"

Ready to break this thing open!

A very fun day celebrating 5 years of Myles...can't imagine life without him. He's such a blessing and we can't wait to see what God has in store for him!

Cousins!

How fun to have our Louisiana cousins here for a few days! The kids had a blast playing at the park, having dart gun wars, and building forts. We wish we saw them much much more!! Here's Papa with the crew at Inn 'n Out.
The Floyd grandkids(minus Loni:(-we missed you Loni)!
Myles cried for 40 minutes on the way home from dropping L and L off. He was very tired and very sad!

Hayley G. turns 3!

Can't believe it's been 3 years since we prayed and prayed for Hayley's health and birth. She's our sweet, full of life, mischievious, beautiful, smart girl and what could make New Year's Eve more fun than to celebrate her birthday!!

Since we weren't going to have enough sugar the rest of the day(hahaha), we started by taking the kids out for doughnuts!

Hayley's favorite: chocolate with sprinkles

Sisterly love!

Hayley wanted an Olivia the pig party and for once the cupcakes actually turned out really cute!

All the Olivias

Waiting for the party to start...

All the party friends! Daddy says, "You know your birthday is too close to Christmas when all your birthday presents are put under the tree!"

The big girl bike from Mommy and Daddy complete with helmet, bell, and horn from Mema! People will hear her coming for miles:)!

New Year's Day...trying out the new bike!

And now she's 3! Can't wait to see what this year holds...

Frozen!

Sophy is 10 months and I want to freeze her just like this for at least 5 years:). She's at such a fun age...she plays and interacts with everyone, she laughs, she gives kisses, she's everywhere which makes her much happier than when she was stuck in one spot:), and she eats everything(she shows up Myles at every meal!). Please don't grow up too fast!!

Kisses through the window!
First Christmas
