Swimming @ Self Creek

After the birthday party, I took the boys to the lake & let them swim a little while!!

Rhett's 1st Birthday

Rhett Butler turned 1 today!!! I must say he looks more like his daddy than any of them! He was so cute with his cake! Ryleigh is definately a daddy"s girl!

Rustin, Ryleigh, & Rhett Simmons

The boys are in Oklahoma with Meemee and Paw so me, Heath, and Sissy went to Jeremy Ty's and Lesley's to see Rustin, Ryleigh, and Rhett! They are getting so big. I can't believe how much they've grown since last I saw them! Rustin nearly hugged me into! Ryleigh even let me hold her, and Rhett is such a happy baby! I need to go see them more. Everybody gets too busy and we do not see eachother enough! New Year's resolution- go see my family more!

LEARNING TO DRIVE IN GRANNY LOIS

Today I also wanted to get Sissy better aquainted with drivin'. So, who better to drive in than Granny Lois. She did really well(Katelynd and Granny Lois). I let her drive the back roads up to Daddy's. She drove about 10 miles. We didn't get in the ditch one single time!! The only surprise was the start after the stops, Katelynd likes to peel out. Sissy says it's not her it's the Jack Julian in the truck!!

PLAY DAY

Well today was a busy; however, fun day for all of us in different ways. Heath and the boys went to Broken Bow for Dakoda's 3rd birthday.Me and the girls went to Roberta's, supposedly to paint the background for Katelynd's Queen thing next Friday. However, me and Roberta did most of the work and the girls played on the go-cart!!They had the best time. It made me wish I was that young and carefree again!!If you look close, you can see how muddy the girls got!

SMOKEY THE BEAR & FIRETRUCK

JakJak got to see Smokey the Bear yesterday. Here is a pic of Jak and Smokey. Today the class got to see a firetruck. Jak's best friend is Easton, the little boy with a mohawk standing beside him.

DOUBLE THE TROUBLE

I finally got a chance to re-post Tuesday's spirit day. The kids had to dress alike with someone; thus, double the trouble. Dalton and Jackson were twins and Sissy and Ash were twins. These kids really are "double the trouble"!!

BLUE WHITE DAY

This is Friday, the last day of Spirit Week. Today is blue and white day; so, here's a pic of the kids this morning. I don't know what i am goin to do about Jak's bad attitude in the morning. I guess he will just keep it since he gets it from his daddy and i haven't changed his morning personality in 13 years!!

Red, White, and Blue Day

Yesterday the kids had to wear something red, white, and blue. Bubba had me put his blue hair gel in his hair. He really likes to wear that blue stuff since he got his flat top. Of course, JakJak is as happy as he usually is about these morning pics!! Sissy went casual and comfortable!

WESTERN DAY

Today is western day; so, the kids dressed in their cowboy/cowgirl clothes. Jackson actually smiled in a picture(which only makes me wonder what he has done)! Dalton says he looks like a train robber(good luck to Mrs. Shelton in getting him to pull that bandanna down)! Sissy always looks pretty, no matter what she wears!! Some posts got deleted so i will re-post when i get a chance.

CRAZY SOCK DAY!!

Today is the first day of spirit week. The kids had to find some wild socks to wear, so this is a picture of their crazy socks!!

Boys will be Boys

We were camped this weekend and while Heath and I were packing up the camper, Shelly got these pics of our boys chasing some of the local geese. I wish I knew what was going through their minds!! They both saw the geese and with no words spoken between them, they took off chasing them!! Ahhhh, boys will be boys!

Scientific!!

Bubba got his new glasses today. He says he looks very scientific; and, I will have to agree. He does look very handsome in his new specks. He is adjusting well to being able to see better. He is excited to show off his new look at school next week. I hope the other kids take to his new glasses as well as he has!! He is such a handsome young man;and , becoming more mature with every passing day!!

My! How fast they grow!!

These are pics of Katelynd with her best friend, Ashley! I cried when Heath found these and we were forced to look at how much my little girl has grown up. This is all happening way too fast! Just thought I would let everybody else see these: those of you with little girls, look how much they can grow in only 5 years!!

OUR NEW BLOG!!

We are finally catching up with technology. I know that's hard to believe with Heath being on top of all computer stuff; however, it's true! So here we go! Katelynd is now 11 years old and growing so much that she is almost as tall as me! Dalton is in the middle at the age of 7. And then there's Jackson... our firecracker, our keep you busy, our always on the go 4 year old!! They are all pretty special in very different ways and now we can keep everyone informed on our everyday happenings! We are really excited and hope that all of our families enjoy this blog of our adventures in this life that began when we had our first date 13 years ago! WOW, time sure flies when you are madly in love!!!
