God Bless USA

We went to my parents for July fourth this year.  I always love july 4th…cooking out, eating watermelon, and of course it involves wearing RED and blue which happen to be some of my favorite colors. My dad grilled hamburgers…we had beans, sausage, fruit, and several desserts.  SOOOO yummy!!!!

The boys all ate together.  They looked so cute sitting together!We attempted to get a picture of my three children….ha! HA! HA!  That is next to impossible!!!!Look at that middle child CLOWNING around!!!!I never get a picture of my parents with the kids….Look at Larkin…she was happy about something!We picked up some sparklers on the way home.  I put Larkin down while we waited for it to get dark.  Guess who was NOT happy about the sparklers?  THat would be my little Campbell…he was scared!  Trigger LOVED them!!!!!Matt was asking Campbell if he wanted to hold the sparkler…do you see him backing up…he was also saying “no”!And then he came over to Mommy and held my hand!!!!  I wasn’t complaining!!!  love my little man!

It was a good day!!!  We enjoyed getting to visit with family, eat good food, and relax.

Fun with Zizzy

The boys LOVE when Zizzy comes over because that means LOTS of attention…They also LOVE going to Zizzy’s house.  They especially like when their cousins, Abby and Sydney are there!  This particular day they painted and watched a movie…and ate…and played!

I love that my children are so close to their grandparents.  They get to spend a lot of time with each set of grandparents and I am so thankful for that!

July…WOW

I can’t believe July has already begun.  I mean…where is the time going?!?  It seems like we have been nonstop busy with vacations, vbs, swimming lessons, TONS of dr.s appointments (and no one has even been sick…just lots of check ups with different drs), etc.  It seems that as soon as I get geared up to have a week with NOTHING planned, all of a sudden every day is filled with something. 

oh my goodness…my boys have been awful lately.  they are on a kick where they cry about EVERY SINGLE THING!  and it is really rather annoying and very, very tiring!  I mean, the two of them definitely cry more than Larkin.  I even took Trigger to the dr. today because I just knew there had to be something wrong…if I asked him, he would say “my froat (throat) hurts”.  Well, the dr. did say his throat is a little red…but probably from drainage…no major infection like strep…TIRED OF THE CRYING!

Sleeping Babies

I can’t help it…I love to see a baby sleeping!  There is just something so peaceful about it!!!!We love our video monitor…honestly, I am not sure how we survived without it for so long.  We got it right before Larkin was born and constantly look at it.  Campbell is hilarious when he sleeps.  He gets in some odd positions…

Toot, Toot

Im going to take a minute to toot my own horn.  HA!  No really, I was so impressed with myself a few weeks ago.  Our cleaning lady was coming to our house and I needed to get the kids out so she could actually get it clean.  Liz and Daddy were out of town and that’s usually where we go on cleaning days.  Normally it wouldn’t matter if they were there or not..we would just go hang out there.  However, their cleaning lady was going to be at their house too…SOOOO, I decided to venture out a little bit.  I took the kids to the park to play for about an hour.

Larkin fell asleep in the stroller.  Then, we packed up and headed to monroe.  I stopped by chickfila and got us something to eat.  We drove to Target and the boys ate their lunch while I fed Larkin. 

We went in Target to get a few things for me for our beach trip and for Campbell’s party (yes, these pictures are a few weeks old)…Then we left and drove home.  I have to say that ALL three have never been more well behaved.  I was so impressed with their behavior!  I am not going to say that they were perfect but they were very good!!!!! 

I know that most of you are probably shaking your head thinking that this trip was NO big deal but let me assure you, IT IS!!!!  ;)

love, Love, LOVE

My boys were headed into church one Sunday morning.  I stayed in the car to feed Larkin before going inside.  I snapped this picture of them walking inside.  It is truly such a blessing that I have a husband that guides us daily in our walk with our Lord…most nights, he puts both boys down and he has taught them to pray and Trigger is learning a love of reading the Bible.  I LOVE when I can put Trigger down and listen to his lengthy prayer.  He may be wild but he is learning from his daddy the importance of prayer and reading his bible.  I am so thankful to have a husband that takes the time to teach these things.

Lots of Help

I have two little helpers around our house.  Their names are: Trigger and Campbell. They like to do things like: fight over and squeeze Larkin (harder than necessary), play games with Larkin (while yanking arms and squeezing her hands a little too hard), keep her company while Mommy gets a few things done (and poke her in her face..including her eyes), put her paci in her mouth (even though she hasn’t cared for one for a couple of months), get diapers for me, etc.  The list could go on and on!

I sure love their love of their sister!!!  It really makes me smile!!!  Boys (and girls) better watch out.  Trigger Woodard is going to probably harm anyone that hurts (or looks) at his little sister.  He is sooo protective of her!  I think it’s the sweetest thing!
