Happy Birthday, in memory of....

Today is one of the saddest\happiest days in our lives. Its hard to believe we now greive on a day that we used to celebrate as one of the best days of the year and used to bring so much happiness. Today, Mike, Farren's dad, would have been 34 years old. And god given, it would have been our 8 year anniversary. It saddens me to know that my daughter is in so much pain on this day and that she only got 8, almost 9 short years with him. That could never be long enough. He is forever in our hearts and in our thoughts. We try to talk about him often. And there are so many traits in her that are a spitting image of him. Its crazy how much she is like him without his influence being here in person. I miss and think of his family often on this day, and thank god that I still have a relationship with them. They will forever be the only people I think will understand the feelings that come with this day. I hope Mike understands how much he was loved, and how much is truly missed here on this earth. What I wouldn't give to be able to call him and have him make me laugh.

Happy Birthday Mike!

 Love this picture, and how much they loved each other.

Keagans 4 year check up!



Can't believe my little stinker turned 4 already. I just realized that I never posted her check up info, so better late then never right? Anywho, she did amazing at the doctor, I was so proud of her. They had a Kinect in the waiting room, so she was able to play "Kinect Adventures" while we were waiting. Once back they weighed her in at 34 pounds and she was 39.5 inches tall. =) She is perfectly proportionate according to Dr. Yee. She did have to get 5 shots. =( But she took them like a champ and only shed a brief tear while they were giving them to her. Afterwards, she gladly took her sucker, (and one for bubba), and we were on our way. Later, she decided that she deserved Bubba's sucker since she several 'boo-boo's" on her legs. So, she had two suckers for the day. I still can't believe my little stinker has grown up so much!

And a little flash back to when my stinker was a baby. =)

Isn't she a cutie??

Farren's 13th Birthday party....

Saturday, we had Farren's 13th birthday party....whoa....this momma is getting old. =( I can't believe she is in her teen years now. In just a few short years she will be graduating and going off to college. What a sad sad day, well for me at least. Anyways, we had a wonderful turnout. She got lots of stuff as well as lots and lots of money. I think she got in the ballpark of about $350.00. i don't ever remember getting that at her age. But at least you know she is loved. We had lots of family, friends, and other little teen girls over. It was loud, fun, and crazy. The perfect party. We enjoyed some punch, hot dogs, homeade fries, and chips and dip. Our cake was a huge hit, and Farren absolutely loved it and the colors. The girls had a water balloon fight, and ended up using the water hose and the bucket as well. It was so much fun watching them chase after each other and squealing when they got wet. Some of the girls have already hit "that" stage, and did not want to get wet or mess up there hair. Boo, just do it, its all in fun, I say. It WAS lots of fun until I was talking and realized they were sneaking up behind and dumped a huge bucket of water all over me. Farren said,"Its like when you win a game mom, and you dump the gatorade all over the coach. Well, your the coach mom." Awwwww, how sweet is that. I'll take water any day down the back for that. All in all, is was lots of fun. And 5 girls stayed the night after. They had lots of fun and stayed up the majority of the night. Who didn't' though at there age?

Anyways, Happy Birthday my first born child, Mommy loves you so very much!

Happy 13th!!!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy! {2010}

Daddy's birthday this year fell on Easter Sunday. He turned the big 2-8!!!! Daddy's getting old.=) We went out to eat at Rockfish friday night, just the two of us, it was really nice. Then, when we got back to the house, there was a group of friends and family waiting for us as a suprise for Chris. We had alot of fun hanging out and got to see some old friends! Thank you to all of those who came. Saturday morning, we went and had breakfast, picked up the kiddos and headed home. Chris's friend, Ben, came over and we hung out outside for the majority of the day. Some of you may know, I wrecked Chris's bike on this day. He had taken me for a ride, and I wanted to go again. I used to have a bike of my own, so he told me to take it myself. Well, my bike was a 250, and his is a 750, MUCH BIGGER!!!! When I tried to turn the corner, I felt as if I was going to fall over because it was so heavy, so I continued going straight. Straight INTO my neighbors car that is. I think I broke a couple of ribs and have some scrapes and bruises. Far better then it could of been. So, I would like to say, soooooooo sorry for wrecking your bike on your birthday weekend Daddy!! Sunday, we had Easter, and then had a few drinks at the house to celebrate Chris's birthday. All in all, I think he had a great birthday. Oh, and he played with his new toy all weekend outside. Mommy got him a Traxxas Revo, and RC car....a very expensive one. =)

Love you babe!!

Keagan turns 2!!

2 years old?????

Where did the time go for my little fairy? Keagans birthday is always hard because it follows right after christmas. Hard to plan between christmas and new years, hard to find presents she didn't get a christmas, and hard to differentiate it from christmas. Luckily, mommy has a december birthday, and my mother did an excellent job of all those things, so I have a little insight. =) My poor baby actually got sick on christmas day, and was not up for much of anything for about 5-6 days. I ended up taking her to the doctor ON her actual birthday....poor baby. What a horrible way to spend your birthday. She had a viral infection and basically we were told it would run its course in 7-10 days. She didn't want to open presents, eat, drink, move, watch tv, dance, play with bubba.....nothing. I have never seen a sickness take that kind of toll on her. It was horrible. So, needless to say, here actual birthday wasn't much of a birthday at all. Luckily, she was feeling much much better by her party the following weekend. We had a huge Tinkerbell party! Some of the little girls dressed up like fairies! It was so much fun! It just reminds me why I love having little girls all over again. We had a huge turnout and lots and lots of presents! Thank you everyone who showed up and for all the gifts! Keagan was definitely blessed in that department. And she absolutely loved opening each and every one! Between birthday and christmas, mommy is still trying to find room for everything. I already need a bigger house. =) After presents we ate some pizza, and some yummy cake!! And ofcourse watched the cowboys game, alot of our guests came dressed and prepared.

I can't believe that my little baby has blossomed into a little toddler already!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Keaganbear!!
