The girls were so excited to dress up and eat candy. They wanted to be princesses this year, which was super easy for me. I found these adorable royal princess dresses at Cracker Barrel for $20, cheaper than most princess dress-up dresses from Walmart. I loved the fact that they were long sleeved and different than just Disney dresses. We decided that Emerson could be a royal knight. We've only done family costumes one year, but we will totally be doing them next year, because the girls kept asking what we were going to be and I know they would love us all dressed up...maybe as the Ingalls?!?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The day before Halloween we went to Kyle's work for their annual Family Halloween party. We love where Kyle works, they are always doing neat things for the kids, Kyle is able to work from home on Tuesday mornings, and they offer great benefits!<br />

Then we came home and at our own little homeschool party. We guessed the number of candy corns, went bobbing for apples, played scarecrow toss, ate popcorn, listened to fun Halloween music, ate pumpkin shaped pasta, and watched Monsters Inc. Super fun day! I'm all about creating memories, traditions, and fun!</div>

Then we headed to our sweet friends house, the Cuchens, for supper, group trick-or-treating, and a viewing of The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Poor Finley, about 10 minutes into trick-or-treating her tummy started hurting so she and Kyle went back to the Cuchens' house and rested, told stories, and Kyle played the piano for her. They ended up having a really fun time. But I hated we weren't together. </div>

We came home and put the kiddos to bed and Kyle and I snuck some of their candy while relaxing in front of the tv. Such a fun night!<br />

2010: Finley was a strawberry fairy and Rowynn (who was a month old) was a little monster. We went to our playgroup party and spent the night at home. That year was all about survival<br />
<br />
2011: Our only year (so far) of family costumes. Kyle was the ring leader and lion tamer, I was a cotton candy vendor, Rowynn was cotton candy, and Finley was a clown. We went to a playgroup party, to the fields, out to dinner with the Sraders and trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.<br />
<br />
2012: The girls were little red riding hood and Emerson (who was 4 weeks old) wore a skeleton onesie. Fun at the fields and trick-0r-treating.<br />

2013: What fun we had!</td></tr>

I set up this little apple store for the kids. I bought a tri-fold board from the dollar store, but a hole in the center, stapled some black construction paper and apples we already had and bam, instant apple store...not to be confused with an Apple/Mac store...which is frowned upon in this house! I also dug out our apple/fall books, and set up a little sensory bin with other goodies. Such a big hit. The girls played apple store for a solid three weeks. And Finley learned to spell "apple." Nice. </div>

I hid foam pumpkins around the house for the girls to find. They brought them back to their "pumpkin patch" (green construction paper) and we counted to see who had the most, who had the least, we skip counted them by 2's and 3's, made math sentences and so much more. What a easy and fun way to practice our math skills!</div>

Jeez-o these months are flying by!<br />
<br />
About a week after Emerson turned one we had a little party for his local family and friends at the local pumpkin patch. Our family loves going to the Flower Mound Pumpkin patch every year so it was the perfect spot for our little guy's party. <br />
<br />
We had so much fun with our sweet friends!<br />

The crisp air, the yummy smells, the beautiful colors...it all speaks to my soul. I love the freshness of the cool air, the cozy clothes, and the pumpkin spice lattes! Fall is just a magical time. One of my favorite fall traditions is to visit the pumpkin patch with my sweet family. When the kiddos get older I look forward to taking vacations during the fall (another perk of homeschooling, we can travel anytime!) For now, we'll stick to backyard camp-outs, pumpkin patch fun, and fall festivals. <br />

Although we can't travel during this most magical time, we can enjoy learning about fall festivals around the world. A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by Priority One Jets. They would soon be featuring an exciting blog post, sharing unique fall festivals from around the world, and a fun fall recipe and asked if I would share. We always love trying new recipes and going on adventures from the comfort of our home, so I was in. <br />
<br />
Check the link below to view some exciting festivals around the world. <br />

<br />
I love learning about the National Apple Harvest Festival, that looks fun! My girls would love to visit a real apple farm, but for now the beautiful pictures will do. And how cool would the Paris Autumn Festival be?!? Paris in the fall, magical indeed!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The girls LOVE helping out in the kitchen, so they were thrilled to try this new apple recipe. As we were slicing the apples the girls kept collecting the apple seeds and running outside to plant them. Finley kept saying she hoped they would have apple trees in the spring. They even watered the seeds...poor girls. I tried to explain that we didn't have the right soil or environment for apple trees.<br />
<br />
<br />
So important to cook with kids and this recipe was super easy and fun. <br />

It was so yummy! I forgot to add the honey, but after a few bites Finley reminded me and it really made the difference!<br />

Emerson turned one and got two parties! The first was a "Little Man" party with our sweet family, held the day after Rowynn's party. I wanted to do two separate parties this year, but since my family are all from out of town we decided to have a small family party on Sunday and a friend party the next week. That way our family didn't have to come in twice in a month, and our friends didn't have to go to 2 parties in 1 weekend. </div>

We rented the gazebo in downtown Carrollton and hosted a little man party, with a little game, presents, smash cake, and blueberry muffins. Then we walked to Babe's for some yummy lunch, made a visit to the small candy store and then sadly said goodbye to our family. We then went to the mall to let Emerson ride the carousel for the first time (and the girls rode of course too).<br />

I am not okay with this. At.all. Maybe because he is our last baby and the season of birthing babies is over, maybe because his first year was a blur, or perhaps because he my boy...but whatever it is, I'm not okay with him turning one. It went by too fast. How is he one? How is the season of my life which includes being pregnant and having babies is already over? When you start young (I was 23 when Finley was born) I guess sometimes your family is complete at a younger age (I was 26 when Emerson was born). It's still tough to deal with. I miss the snuggly newborn stage, not so much the sleep deprivation, but the cuteness, yes. <br />
<br />
But I digress...while I'm sad that my baby boy is already 1, I'm also pretty happy with how my family looks. Our family is complete and beautiful. I also kind of love being out of the newborn stage. It's tough and we've been in baby mode for the past several years. <br />

This guy. Emerson. He.is.just.wonderful. The best baby, hands down. The sweetest guy around. There's definitely something about a Mom and her boy. I just love that little guy. He is a perfect mix of me and Kyle and is all boy. He is curious, loves to explore, and loves to make messes. He is so full of joy, so happy. He is sleeping through the night, with 1-2 naps daily. Usually his morning nap last about 1.5 hours and his afternoon nap 2-2.5 hours. He is eating solids and drinking whole milk. He is pulling up, but not standing or doing much crusing. That's okay. Finley was running at 12 months, but Rowynn didn't walk until around 14-15 months. And honestly, I'm going to miss having a wee one crawl around so I'm in no hurry to see him walk. He can say "Momma," "Dada," "Milk," and sometimes says "FFfff" for Finley and "RoRo." He loves to play with trucks, is usually carrying a music toy, sleeps with his little fox and glo-worm and loves to squeal and scream. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
For the past couple of years she has been obsessed with her frog Scentsy buddy that her Aunt Tina got her. She loves frogs and the first color she learned was "froggie" (green). So we decided to do a party around her love of Mr. Froggie and her purple Ellie, while also incorporating some of her other favorites. <br />

Since Rowynn LOVES to cook/bake one of the activities was to have the kiddos decorate their own cupcakes. I set aside some frosting and had lots of different sprinkles on hand. They loved it! I also at frog hats (thanks Maile) and frog aprons (dollar tree) for them to wear to protect their clothing. </div>

We also did a "Lily Pad Hop." Basically musical chairs with lily pad cut outs I got at the dollar store this past summer. I placed some lily pads on the floor in a circle and we listened to the "Frog Song" while the kids hopped around. I made some of the big kids--my sister (she's 25), my dad, and Terrance put a balloon between their knees so they had to frog hop. This was a huge hit. We played it several times and the kids loved it. <br />

Swat the flies was another fun game. I found this ridiculously cute frog bubble machine at Walmart over the summer. I had no idea how I was going to use it at the party when I bought it. I just knew that it was cute, green, and a frog. And that Rowynn loves bubbles. At the same time I found green frog shaped fly swatters in two packs. Picked them up too. A few days before the party I got the idea to have the bubbles be "flies" that the kids had to swat (pop) with the fly swatter. THEY.LOVED.IT. And the bubble machine was pretty awesome...it produced some major bubbles. <br />

Feed the Frog. I found this frog bath toy organizer and knew I could use it for something! Well I hid plastic flies around the house and the kids could search for them throughout the party. Once found they would take it to the frog and place in the mesh pocket. They got a chocolate coin (another one of Rowynn's favorites) each time they "fed the frog."<br />

Each kiddo walked away with some pretty sweet favors! I'm a sucker for favors, they're my favorite part. They each got: a frog hat, a frog apron, a pink princess wand, a wooden fire truck (Rowynn has a slight obsession with fire trucks), a frog snack cup, a plastic jumping frog, and a CD with a ton of Rowynn's favorite songs (over 20 songs)!<br />

Can you believe it?!? How is she three?! How????? Our sweet surprise...I found out I was pregnant with Rowynn a week after Finley turned 7 months. Talk about shocked! I was in disbelief for a while. But now, life just wouldn't be the same. That little girl is so loved! She is my delicate little flower who carries a very tender heart. She is very observant and picks up on moods and tones easily. She is full of joy but only on her terms. She doesn't like crowds and is in her element at home. Although she has come out of her shell a ton, having an outgoing big sister will do that! She is loving Puggles (Awana) and dance class and is becoming more and more fearless, especially at the playground. She adores her baby brother and always refers to him as "Baby." She is a sweet soul who loves bananas and bread, her purple blanket, drawing pictures of princesses, cooking, dancing, and all kinds of animals. <br />
<br />
She is so smart and is learning her letters and letter sounds, can spell her name and most of Finley's name, can count to 12, knows the days of the week, how to crack an egg, make a pb&j, make her bed, and loves playing Uno. <br />
<br />
For her special day Daddy surprised her (and the rest of us) with donuts. And of course she had chocolate milk.<br />

We have been "homeschooling" (preschool) since Finley was about 13 months...well technically we've been teaching her since she was a newborn. We've always done educational activities at home and when I look back at all we've done; thematic units, crafts, journals, sensory bins, tot trays, etc, I can't believe how much we've done and how quickly the years have passed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About a year and a half ago we finally made the decision to officially homeschool. That was a hard and stressful decision to make. We prayed about it, talked to fellow homeschoolers, read, researched, prayed, prayed, and prayed! When we finally made the decision, and although scary, it was incredibly peaceful. We know this is what God has called us to and we are loving it! I love being able to be home with my lovies and teach them. We have so much fun....yes, some days I just want to scream/cry/run away, but most days I just look around and can't believe how fun this is. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a breakdown of the kinds of activities we do each day. This is a look into our week. I love reading blog posts about other homeschool families and thought I would post about our experience. We do year round school and try to school everyday, but at least 4 days a week. </div>

We start our morning with our calendar work. We sing our Days of the Week & Months of the Year songs and the girls pull out their calendar from their purple binders. Finley writes the date and Rowynn traces the number. </div>

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Words Their Way</span></u></strong><br />
I used this book (Words Their Way) in one of my education courses and several months ago Maile reminded me of it. I ordered the teacher's version and we have LOVED it! It has letter sound and picture sorts (that Finley used and now Rowynn is working on) and word family sorts. I usually put up our new words in our pocket chart and Finley spends the week making the words with letter tiles, letter blocks, and magnetic letters, writing them and sorting them. At the end of the week she glues her sort and I give her a spelling test. Rowynn recently started this and all week we practice the letter sound sort and she does worksheets and tracing sheets on those letters. At the end of the week she glues her sort. <br />

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Sight Words</span></u></strong><br />
Sight words are words that need to be memorized in order for a child to be a more fluent reader. I ordered these dvds and flashcards from Preschool Prep several months ago and am amazed at how quickly Finley has learned her sight words. We watch the dvds after lunch or in the evening and I'll lay out the flashcards for the girls to find as the words appear on the screen. I also made a these worksheets that feature our sight words. One sheet has them find their sight words and color them a certain color and the other has them write and build their words.<br />

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Bob Books</span></u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also have Bob Books and little scholastic readers that the girls read. We have two sticker charts for the girls to keep track of their reading. Finley is working on Bob books that feature many of her sight words and word families. Rowynn enjoys reading her little scholastic readers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are simple stories that we read to her and she basically memorizes and then reads to us. Great first steps to reading! I also have been having Finley copy a Bob Book to practice writing and punctuation. It's a great independent, quiet activity for her to do. </div>

We have several kid Bibles that we love to read stories out of. We also have the Read & Share Bible on DVD and the girls love watching the "Jesus movie." Both girls are in Awana and we have a verse, story, and activity that we do every week for Cubbies/Puggles. We have done a Days of Creation unit, which was a big hit and we will do again soon. We also have some felt pieces that we use to recreate bible stories. <br />

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Classical Conversations</span></u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our main curriculum that we use with Finley is called Classical Conversations. Finley and I go together every Tuesday morning to our CC group and learn new material that we spend the week reviewing and practing. History, Latin, Geography, Math, English, Science, Bible, Art, and Timeline are what we learn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of it is rote memorization which allows the kiddos to form "pegs" of knowledge that they can later build on and pull from. I compare it to kids learning to sing the "ABC" song. When you learn that as a child, you have no idea what you are learning. You don't know what letters look like, what sounds they make, or that they work together to form words. But even as an adult if someone asks you what comes before "J" you are going to at least hum part of the song in your head. Same thing with CC. The kids learn material by singing songs and with motions. Material that they can later build upon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every week they have to give a presentation. So far Finley given a presentation about herself, recited a favorite poem, summarized her favorite book, and talked about a famous inventor. They end each presentation with "That's the end of my presentation, do you have any questions or comments for me?" <strong>So.stinkin.cute.</strong> And she has learned to skip count 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 7's, and 8's. She has learned Latin endings for 1st conjugation perfect and imperfect tense She can find all the continents, oceans, several European waters, Western European countries, and several European rivers. She has memorized history sentences about William the Conqueror, the Crusades, Charlemagne, and the Magna Carter. She has learned 7 types of biomes, three types of consumers, parts of the food chain, and the natural cycles. She has learned about drawing and mirror images. She has learned 8 parts of speech, what a pronoun is, pronoun order, and nominative pronouns. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I mention we are only on week 4?!?! I feel like I am learning so much! And Finley is loving it! It's a lot of information but little minds are capable of so much!</div>

We had just gotten back from spending 4 days in Louisiana so it was nice to have some down time. On Tuesday, after Classical Conversations we took the kiddos to Gatti Town for lunch. They were running a special on the all you can eat buffet so win-win! The place was deserted, we were the only ones there at first. About halfway through lunch a couple of other families showed up. We had so much fun. We ate lunch while watching Lady and the Tramp and then played and played and played! The girls giggled and ran all around playing games, bowling, and riding the rides. Emerson loved crawling around and pushing buttons. <br />

After lunch we walked over to Half Priced Books. We are a book-loving family so we all had a ball! At one point we lost Emerson (little fella is a fast crawler) and the girls wanted to read every book in there. We walked away with couple of books...restraint at its finest! We sped home and got the girls ready for dance class. What a busy day!</div>

On Wednesday we had a full day of homeschooling. And boy, let me tell you, homeschooling with Kyle home to help was much easier! He was able to play with Emerson while I worked with the girls, he cleaned up our messes, and generally helped out. I wish he could be home with us every morning! </div>

On Thursday I came down with the most awful, horrible, no-good stomach virus. It was not pretty. I hated to be sick during our little staycation but I was so glad Kyle was home. I pretty much stayed in bed all day. It was rough. </div>

By Friday I was feeling much better so we drove to Ft. Worth to drop off Emerson at Grandpa & Grandma Davis' house so we could take the girls to their first ever movie. Planes! They loved it. I think their favorite part was the snacks! After that we spent a couple of hours visiting with Kyle's parents and then left the girls to spend the night with them. Kyle, E, and I headed home and enjoyed a laid back night. </div>

Two sweet friends taught several 5 and 6 year olds and Maile and I taught some pretty neat 3 and 4 year olds once a week for about 6 weeks. Each week we learned read a story, did a craft, and learned a new song and bible verse. My girls loved it! Nothing better than hearing your kiddos sing about Jesus and His love! I loved getting to love on some sweet kiddos each week. <br />

At the end of the summer we had the kids perform two songs at church. We were so happy Grandma & Grandpa Davis came to watch. They all did such a wonderful job. Finley even at an impromptu solo complete with jazz hands. Bless her sweet soul. I could not stop laughing at her performance. And Rowynn was just as cute. These girls are natural born performers. </div>

Nothing like a sweet view of the piney woods. I forget how much I miss them...and trees...and the peace and quiet. It's in my blood and calls to my soul. I just love being surrounded by tall trees. When they are thin and strong and sway; their tall branches meeting the sky, it's home, it's my childhood. Crunching on leaves the size of my hand and kicking pine cones. I love the smell of pine and sap. The sounds that are oh so specific to a country night. I absolutely love city living but a part of me will always long for the calm woods. Until it's 8 p.m. and everything is closed and I have to drive an hour to the nearest Target...cause Target calls to my soul too.</div>

A couple of weeks ago Kyle took off on Friday and we planned a special family day! We had discovered this cute little boutique that offered Tea Time for little girls and knew that our little princesses would love it! So we made our way to Grapevine for Cupcakes & Tea. We got there early and right across the street was a wonderful little Farmers Market. We scored some local honey, peaches, blackberries, strawberries, tomatoes, and pickled okra. The kids loves sampling all the goodies and playing in the gazebo. </div>

After that we headed to the little shop. We had invited Grandma to come to tea with us so she met us there and the boys (Grandpa, Kyle, & Emerson continued shopping at the market). </div>

We had the best time! The girls got to get dressed up and we all piled on the accessories. The girls also got their nails painted and make-up. They had a blast digging through all the hats, feather boas, jewelry, crowns, and wands, twirling in front of the mirror, and picking out hats for us to wear. </div>

After we were all transformed into princesses, we all sat at the cutest (pinkest), most girly little table. We all choose our cupcakes and the were served yummy tea. We all had so much fun. I loved watching the girls pick up the dainty little teacups and push their boas out of the way to get to the cupcake. Such a special time! They also had a little table set up with coloring pages, dress up dolls, and books. </div>

After our tea party we headed over to the Gaylord Texan to walk around and eat lunch! We normally go to the Gaylord at Christmas, so it was fun seeing it during the summer. <br />

<br />
Finley took swimming lessons for the fist time in June at our local rec center. My little fearless fish did excellent. She is just like her Mommy and LOVES water! She had so much fun and I loved watching her jump, dive, splash, kick, go under water, and learn. It was a bit of a beating to go to the water park every day for two weeks (Monday-Thursday), especially since the first week was also when Kyle was out of town. And we stayed and played after lessons a couple of the days. That's right. Me all by myself, at a water park, with a (barely) 4 year old, 2.5 year old, and 8 month old. Fun times!!! Thankfully there were some sweet friends there who lent a hand...or two! So blessed by all our sweet friends. <br />

<br />
On the last day, "Show Off Day," I was dreadfully sick. Like kill me now sick. Kyle & I were both down with food poisoning or something. I lost 3 lbs in about 12 hours. We were so incredibly sick. Thankfully Kyle's mom, Sandra, came over to watch the kiddos so Kyle & I could rest. But I'm a bit stubborn and was determined to take Finley and to her last lesson and watch. <br />
<br />
Y'all, I thought I was going to die. A couple of times I wished for it. When you are sick, sitting out in 100 degree weather is not the smartest thing. I sat there..I watched, I clapped, I took videos, and I tried not to pass out. On the last day parents were allowed to watch from the lower deck and get closer. Yea, I just stayed sitting down on the upper deck and tried not to barf. I'm sure her teacher thought I didn't care at all, because I don't really remember much. <br />
<br />
Some of the videos are a bit shaky...remember I was trying not to pass out!<br />

I've had contributor privileges to this blog for a long time, but I don't think I've ever actually used it before. I've been thinking about this particular post for a while, though, and wanted to invade her blog and let everyone know the kind of woman I'm blessed to have married.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
__________________ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On the rare occasions that you see a stay at home mom in movies, they're usually comedies. The wife is often standing in the middle of a room with a number of kids running around her, all of them acting like brats. The mom usually has something stuck in her hair, a baby in her arms screaming at the top of its lungs, while she just stands, defeated, questioning her life choices. And when the husband invariably comes home, she just glares at him. Where you don't see stay at home moms very often are in romance dramas. I guess that's not what people want to see in those kind of movies.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, as someone married to one of these amazing women, I'll let you in on a little secret. Being a stay at home mom is <em>sexy</em>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sure, there are some days that she can barely find a break in the day to pee, much less take a shower. But even on those hectic days, when I walk in the door she's not angry at me for burdening her with all of these children. She comes up to me, and every day she wraps her arms around me and kisses me. Every day as soon as I come home. She smiles. She's excited. And during the day, she begs me to come home, but not so I can take over so she can go out and take a break. Could she use a break? Sure. But that's not what she's wanting. She misses me, and wants to see me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The thing is, Wendy tells me all the time that she wants the relationship between us to come before the kids. She loves me more than the kids. And that's really saying something, because she adores those kids. She wants us to be solid first, because if that doesn't happen, we'll never be who we should be for our kids. Wendy loves me. She invests in me. She's passionate about me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You see? Being a stay at home mom is sexy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The great thing about having a woman like Wendy at home during the day, especially for someone as absentminded as I am, is that she can keep my head on straight. I don't know how many times I've forgotten to do something at work, only to have Wendy remind me. How does she know to do this? Well, after the hug and kiss when I get home, she always asks me what happened at work. This isn't an idle question. She really wants to know. She actually listens as I rattle on about whatever is going on at AMX, and she gives her thoughts and advice. She's my secretary, my advisor, and my confidant. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The thing about Wendy is that she is a biblical example of a serving wife. In these modern times, people have a different idea of what womanhood means, and not all of it is bad. Society is remembering again that women are strong and capable. That's biblical. Look at Proverbs 31. That talks about a wife buying fields and making good decisions for her family. That's not some wallflower. And that's Wendy. But she also puts me first, and submits to my leadership. And that all comes from her. It's nothing I laid down. It's something important to her. She consistently puts my desires, my wants, and my needs before her own. Let me tell you. That kind of attitude is really attractive.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like I said. Being a stay at home mom is sexy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, it's not just her attitude towards me. Do our kids act up and try to test their boundaries? Sure. They're four, two, and 10 months. Pushing past boundaries is what kids do, especially at those ages. But when our kids to act up, Wendy takes them into their room, punishes them, and then talks to them about their actions. She tells them that not only is acting like that disobedient to Mommy and Daddy (which makes us sad), it also is a sin before God. She tells the girls about sin, and models Christ's forgiveness by hugging and kissing them and reminding them that she'll always love them, no matter what they do.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I never worry about my kids growing up to be menaces to society. It's hard being away from them during the day, to have so little time with them during the week. However, I don't have to worry about what's being poured into them while I'm not there. I know Wendy's there, praying with them, playing with them, and investing in them just like she does with me. This lets me focus on work, and I can trust that Wendy is teaching them about the important things: beauty, goodness, and truth. Feeling secure on the home front is immeasurably important to success at work and at life.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's also very sexy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, it's not all punishment at our house. In fact, Wendy makes life at our house a lot of fun. I could start listing examples, but really, just go back and look at the other posts on this blog. Can you imagine what life is like at this house? Our kids have it good! If we had absolutely nothing, our kids would still have a great childhood. Wendy would find a way. She's fun, crazy, goofy, imaginative, and full of laughter. No matter how tired she is, she always has a smile for our kids. When our kids are older, they won't remember a mom that was always tired or busy. They'll remember a mom who smiled when they walked into a room. They'll remember how much she loved them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That's what it really all comes down to. Wendy is so full of love for our family. It comes through in every single second of her day. It drives all the little things and the big things that she does for our household. Without her, everything would break down. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just see how things go for me and the kids when she leaves for a couple hours. On too rare occasions, Wendy gets to hang with a friend without kids in tow. I'll stay at home with the kids, and while I do try to keep things running and "do things," a lot of the time it's survival mode. I just try to make sure the kids are still alive and the house is still intact when she gets home. It takes every ounce of my effort to accomplish even this. Without Wendy, things don't last around here very long. And all of the work she does (and she works HARD) is because she loves us all so deeply.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And you know what? Love is sexy.</div>

I have friends that have done this in years past, and I was always too embarrassed to go...but when you have 5 people in your family, you quickly get over any embarrassment and get your free food on! Kyle dressed up and went by himself for breakfast and lunch and the kiddos and I went for lunch, then we all went for supper. <br />
<br />
All together we consumed nearly $60 in free food. Worth it!! Besides, dignity and pride kind of go out the window...you know, once you've been peed/pooped/vomited on, struggled to breast feed in public, threatened your child with their life in the middle of the store, or sang Wheels on the Bus 15 times loudly and animated in the grocery store. <br />
<br />
Finley very matter of factly told me that she was not "Finley," but "Finley Cow" for the day. And of course that meant that the rest of us were "Rowynn Cow, Baby Cow, Mommy Cow, and Daddy Cow." Only my kiddos can call me "Mommy Cow" repeatedly, and only when I'm actually dressed as a cow. <br />

The week before the girls and I made several patriotic crafts, we talked about our country, flag, and recited the Pledge of Allegiance several times. On the 4th we made Patriotic Cupcakes and joined some friends at a Freedom Festival that featured food trucks, games, bounce houses, a band, splash area and of course fireworks! We enjoyed walking around and cooled off with some Kona Ice Sno Cones. It was actually a nice night, not hot at all. We found a spot on the hill and the kids ran around playing with their glow sticks and later we all enjoyed the beautiful fireworks. <br />

The next day, Friday, the family loaded up and we drove to Louisiana to spend the weekend at my parents house. That night we celebrated several family birthdays, my sisters, her hubby, and his brother and grandma. My grandparents, Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, and brother-in-law's family all joined us for hot dogs, hamburgers, and lots of yummy goodness. The kids splashed in their small pool, we all rode the golf cart, and did fireworks. Super fun night! <br />

Such a neat experience for the kids and a great learning activity! We always order from Insect Lore and have been super pleased with everything. You get a cup of about 5 caterpillars complete with food for them. After a few days the caterpillars make their way to the top of the lid and form chrysalises. After a couple of days you tape the paper holding the chrysalises to the inside of the butterfly habitat. Did you know that the cocoons will shake if the feel threatened? It's their way to protect themselves in nature. Pretty cool. Anyway, a few days later they emerge as butterflies. We feed our butterflies sugar water (use the included dropper and place water on fresh flower petals), and orange slices. After about 4 days we release our butterflies. <br />

After a nice meal of Catfish we discovered we had a flat! Boo! So blessed that no one was hurt before we could get it replaced and thankful for such sweet in-laws!<br />
<br />
I am so blessed by many fathers in my life. My Daddy is such an amazing man; so giving, tender-hearted, goofy, and always supportive. He has always been there for us and when I was younger, and many of my friends' parents were going through divorces, my Dad became the Dad to many of my friends. He was always so present and active in everything we were doing, a total hands-on Dad. Because of the way he loved his wife and girls, I was secure in who I was. I knew what qualities I wanted in a husband and because of that, I have the most amazing husband who is an exceptional Daddy. <br />
<br />
My father-in-law is an exceptional man. He is one of the wisest men that I know. He is gentle and strong at the same time, kind and so generous. He has the most giving spirit and loves his family so much. He is incredibly thoughtful and would do anything for his family. He is an excellent cook and loves his grandbabies! He values his friendship with his son, and is such an encouragement to Kyle & I. He has always treated me like a daughter and is the reason Kyle & I are married. He and Sandra led me to Jesus many years ago and then gave me the most loving husband. I am forever grateful <br />
<br />
Kyle is amazing. Before we had kids he had little to no experience with kids. He had no siblings, had never changed a diaper, nothing. You would never know that by the way he has taking to fatherhood; with finesse and ease. He is a super dad. He loves all of us fiercely. We pretty much have to kick him out the door every morning so he's not late to work (and we are always sad to see him leave) and he rushes home every day. He has NEVER put his career before us. He works hard and really enjoys his job but doesn't let his career define him. He is a godly man who encourages, supports, and loves with all his heart. He is up in the middle of the night with crying babies, changes diapers, cooks, helps clean, introduces his kids to poetry, fun books, new experiences, teaches them to cook, his so patient, plays with them, sings, helps plan parties, values everything I do, every single day (even if most days the only thing I've managed is to keep every one alive!) He always makes me feel loved and beautiful and is truly my best friend. We are always giggling together, enjoy the same things, and just love hanging out together. I can be myself more when I am with him. I just love that man and love the way he loves us!!!<br />

I wanted to capture some candid moments with my sweet babies. The session was fabulous, we love Kimberly! She was able to get some sweet shots and was so great! As soon as my pictures came in Kyle said he wanted pictures with his babies too! And so we had pictures of Kyle and the kids for his Father's Day gift. They all turned out so wonderful!!!<br />

I've always wanted to get into running and do a 5K (and maybe a marathon) and I thought this would be a fun one to do for my first 5k. I wanted something relaxed, where I could go at my own pace and enjoy myself. Run or Dye was just that! It isn't timed and was such a blast! Everyone was super nice and happy and it was just a great atmosphere. I told my sister about it and we decided to do it together. I was super pumped to have my little sis join me! <br />
<br />
The kids and I went the day before to pick up our packets and swag bags! We each got a back pack, t-shirt, a bag of dye, a couple of temporary tattoos, bracelet, and then I bought us more dye and some sunglasses. <br />

We got up super early and headed down to the train station. I kept asking myself why I was up so early on a Saturday....why did I wake my kids up 2 hours earlier than they normally wake up? Why was I going to run/walk 3ish miles? Why did I think this would be fun? And I paid for this? What was I thinking?!?<br />
<br />
Anyway, so we rode the train to Fair Park...which was fun until about 5 stops before Fair Park...by the time we got to our stop there were approximately 5321 people on our little section of the train. Like for realizes..so.many.people. And we had a double and single stroller to try and maneuver. Fun times. So we made it and headed to the starting line. <br />

<br />
The people. Oh.the.people. I have no idea how many people were doing this 5k, but I saw peeps with numbers 0138 and peeps with number 84567.....so yea. At the starting line they sent groups of 500-700 people every 5 minutes for about two hours. <br />
<br />
They had a DJ at the starting line and people were singing, throwing dye, laughing, and just generally having a great time. Once the race started they had dye stations every half mile where people would throw dye on you. It was so fun. I knew it would be, but had no idea how much fun. It was nice to step outside my role as Mommy and just do something for me. I had some fun one on one time with my sis. My days are spent with little kids, and all that comes with that and I sometimes forget that I'm also a 27 year old woman who needs some time to myself! I love my days at home with the kids, but it was nice to get some time to do something fun with my sister. <br />

Here is the end of year gift we made for Mrs. Lisa. I had to go to three different fast food restuarants to find the right drink holder but many weird looks later I was successful! Thanks Taco Bueno! I filled a mason jar with bird seed and glued a dollar store bird nest on top, bought a cute tumbler and filled it with drink packets, filled the carrier with tissue paper, wrapped it in craft tape, added a flower, and wrote a note on a paint strip that was in my purse...and had Finley sign her name! Super cute...I got a ton of compliments on it at class from the other moms. </div>

A few months ago I saw this super cute thing on Pinterest and just knew I had to do it for my kiddos. I bought this book on sale at Target and will have every teacher, coach, etc sign it for Finley and give it to her once she graduates. Since we plan on homeschooling I wanted to include dance teachers and coaches so it's not just a book with notes from me! So Mrs. Lisa was our first teacher to sign it. I'll get books for the other two kiddos once they start dance/sports. </div>
