New York..New York!

I just got back from New York, I went up a week ago yesterday to hang out with Bart's brother, Kyle, his wife, Tara, Bart's mom, Carol and two very adorable boys, Jackson and Kacey. Bart came up on Wednesday and we drove to PA on Friday for one of his friends wedding. I feel like I have been around the world in a week, but I think the big city makes you feel like that...we were in Brooklyn, Coney Island one day, then went into the City one day, then to a VERY remote place in PA (so remote we didn't have phone service). Oh, did I mention those baby boys are stinken adorable...now I am HOME and I love it in AR. I can't imagine calling anywhere else HOME!

G-pa Schad 90th B-day!

We went to St. Louis over Labor Day and had a fabulous time with the Schad family. Palmer and Hunter were able to be together, Bart and Kyle were able to be together and I had some babies to hold!! Everyone was happy.

Time with H~

What a CRAZY 4 days trying to keep a 6 year old boy busy and cool! We did it all..cooked, rode bikes, went fishing (he caught 3 on his own), played soccer, went to the Zone, went to the Collins house for fun on Sat night..and I am tired! Hunter is definately 100% like his father, he constantly has to be moving and doing something...they both get bored fast!

Because I said so...

Have you seen this movie? It's got Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore and Lauren Graham(love her, she played on Gilmore Girls, loved that show). It is such a good chick flick..I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it!

Dad & Son

I just love this picture and it is so rare that I can get these guys to cooperate with me and my camera. They were watching baseball and wearing their Braves hats to give them good luck! Hunter is growing up so fast and I know Bart misses him on a daily basis!

On the Road Again...

Bart and I have been traveling so much lately for work...our schedule the last couple of weeks went like this....New Smyrna Beach to Sarasota to Destin to Gulf Shores to New Smyrna Beach (and Bart is now in Fargo, ND and will head to Sarasota after that). The beaches are totally different in each spot. Here are some pics from the nights we spent at each spot.

Simple Shadowbox

Here are a couple Shadowboxes I made..they are pretty simple. They serve the purpose and it's hard to make a shadowbox for a guy and make it pretty!

Hunter and his IDOG

Not sure if you have ever seen this thing - IDOG - or not, but is a pretty cool thing. You plug your IPOD into it and it plays the music as a speaker...wags its tail...barks when you don't pay attention to it...growls when you pull on his tail...moves his ears. Hunter absolutely loved it, he would take it in his room and it occupied him for atleast two hours (the longest he has done much at our house by himself).

My life has been so crazzzy lately I haven't had time to update my blog - AC brought this to my attention. This was the weekend of July 6th. That was a busy weekend with Hunter but it was probably the calmest one we have had in a month. Hunter enjoyed shooting off fireworks and he was so persistent on shooting them off on his own(luckily we didn't have any of the big dangerous ones). We went to the lake a couple times and my neice, Elizabeth joined us one afternoon. Hunter wore Bart out saying "throw me! throw me!" over&over!

4th of July

I went to my moms to watch the Flippin Fireworks Tuesday night and they were great. Mom invited her chuuch family to come over, my sister and her kids were there and the Collins family came over too! I am so blessed to have so many great people in my life and be able to spend the holidays with them. The only problem..I was missing the 3 most important people in my life!

Last night Sammi and I drove up to the top of the road to watch the Bull Shoals Fireworks. I sat out the moonroof, watched and they were wonderful! I think the Flippin show was better....
