What a fun evening for Reefs birthday. All our family came to Reefs barnyard festivities. Rain and Kennedi were the cutest animals you ever saw, and the farmers came in droves. The kids had a blast in the jumper, searching for eggs, attacking the tractor pinata, and playing in the pool. While the grown-ups had their own fun doing an egg toss, relaxing on the back porch, and there was the occasional grown man unable to resist the pinata. The only down-fall was that the birthday boy didn't get a good nap that day, and you know how important that can be on such a big day. You can tell a little by some of the pics.



Reef, you are such a precious blessing!

I braided Rains hair after the shower last night and she was amazed at the crimped results.

Summer evenings at the house. We were playing Rains made up game of leaf tag, but took a break for a treat.

Sitting by the pool in Galveston.

Rain took these pics of Daddy and Reef one morning a couple months ago. I love her perspective.

Teething biscuit. Need I say more.

Cinderella

Reef has carried Rains "People" around in his mouth like this ever since he was little. He particularly likes the one Rain has lovingly named "fro-head".

Waiting for a bird to "Poop on her lip"

Rain got a little bug this winter and Bobo came to cheer her up on Friday night :) Rain sure enjoyed decorating Bobos face with the face paints, and she loved the mouse on her tummy. She didn't want me to wash it off, and it's a good thing she didn't because it wasn't coming off easily. I just had to let it wear off.

Birthdays, mexican, and snow

Rain got this Ariel necklace from Laci and Jett that sings and
all she does all day long is push the button. She even keeps it
it a special box she made.


Rain recieved a precious apron with her name embroidered on
it. Thanks McKees! We use it all the time for arts and crafts.

Mommy and Rain

Bobo, you look so pretty!

Rain was so excited to get all dressed up as Ariel.

She even wanted to stay in character during the

party, as long as she could. My favorite memory

was her precious request for a birthday tunnel.

She wanted the whole family to make a tunnel that

she could run through while they sang happy birthday

and then she would end with blowing out the candles.

This was her idea completely and I was blown away.

Of course we all granted her request happily, and it

was such a precious moment.

Thanks Saads, for the beautiful outfiet.

Ariel and her daddy King Triton

We headed to Chickashaw one afternoon to get

these special slaw dogs from this little dinner, and

when we got there it was closed :( So we searched

for an alternative and found a great little mexican

restaurant. Reef got to enjoy his first tortillia and

he loved every bit of it.

Cousins! We went to Shoguns for daddys birthday.

Ice day in Ok

I can blog again! Thanks Brooke for the info. Look for new pics coming soon, its been a while :)

Granddaddys Hs

I sure was glad to get to see my horse Nugget one more time even though he was no where near the powerful and hard headed horse he once was. I wasn't prepared to see him looking like the "old man" that was before me. Although still stubborn, it was sweeter some how, and endearing. He was a good horse.

Daddy and Reef showing off their Carhartt gear. :)

Rain said that this stick was her fishing pole. She was ready to go!

Of course Rain wanted to reel the fish all by herself, and she actually got one with a little help from Daddy.

One of Daddys many catch of the day.

SWING. All Rain needed to hear.
