Mississippi State and a visit from the Tooth Fairy!

Yesterday, James finally let me pull his very loose tooth.  He started to yell and right about the time he started to yell I handed him his tooth. All attempts at yelling stopped and smiles and giggles took over! He was one happy kiddo!! To top off that excitement, we took the boys to their first college game--MSU vs. Troy. Those boys cheered their little hearts out for MSU! Even though we were very much surrounded by Troy fans it didn't stop those boys from cheering for their team with everything they had! I was fully expecting all of them or at the very least one of them waking up with no voice. However, they all woke up with their vocal cords working properly and James proved that by screaming to let us know that the Tooth Fairy had visited him!

Pool Time

The boys love to swim and it is the perfect way to work off excess energy when we are all finished with homeschool for the day!

Three Little Monkeys....

The Week After

The week after a vacation is always rough. You wish you didn't have to leave your vacation destination and getting back to "reality" just isn't all that exciting on its own. To help the boys get through this awkward time, Steven started teaching them the basics of stained glass. :)

Happy Father's Day

As a little girl, I always dreamed of marrying my "soul mate". Someone who understood my querkiness and even thought it was cute. I also wanted someone who would be a great father. I found him the day I met Steven. He was everything I dreamed of :) We have had four beautiful children and even made it through hard times that some couples could not withstand. I am thankful God made him for me and I am thankful that God allowed me to watch and participate in the lives of our three sons, who by the way are carbon copies of their father. We all have a guardian angel named Gracie to watch over us as well. FYI: the pictures did not load in the order that I would have liked them to load :)

To My Sweet Husband on Father's Day!

First beach trip....James was there he just wasn't ready to come out and play quite yet :)

I want to give a shout out to my mother-in-law Liz for sending this picture to me years ago!!

Our little O!! He was so very sick when he was first born that we didn't get a boat load of pics of him at first!

Ian showing us his "mean face" lol

I'm not sure who gave me these pictures of Steven but you can see a bit of all three of our boys in that top picture of him!

Ahh yes you can't truly claim a Scottish and Irish lineage if you don't have a kilt....or at least that is what Steven told me :)

 

Swimming!!

The boys get in the pool everyday. They usually don't fight or disagree when they are all in the pool! I guess that is why I strongly encourage them to get in the pool when I'm home lol!
