Ohhh that dusty old farm

   Do your kids ever beg to go somewhere???  I'm speaking of a favorite place....well, my child, as in The Bit, loves a farm just up the road from Mayberry.  He loves Cedar Hill Farm.   I have been about 10 times and could do the gig blind folded.  Ohhh but since he looks forward to it so much I act like I love it just as big.

The Sister is 20 months old

Happy TwEnTy MoNtHs to this WILD CHILD!!!
Annie weighs roughly 25 pounds.  She wears a size 5 shoes, 18 months - 2T clothes, and a size 4 diapers.  Speaking of shoes, they might just be her most favoritest thing ever, and ice.
She still naps TWICE.  And all God's people said, "Hallelujah"!!!!!  Annie gets up about 6:00 and has her milk.  We eat breakfast and play until 8:00 when she has another bottle and a nap.  At 10:00 we usually run errands, get Bitty from school at 11:30, come home and eat lunch then at 12:45 another bottle and nap.  She sleeps until 2:40 when we have to go get Ford from school.  We play, eat supper, bathe, and have a bottle at 7:00 and go to bed.  I don't rock her like I did the boys.  We have our bottle, which I plan to continue until 2 years of age, and then I put her in bed.
She's a pretty terrible eater.  None of my kids eat good and it stresses me out.  She likes drinks, bananas, sausage muffins, chicken nuggets, french fries, ice cream, spaghetti, cookies, chips, junk food, Puddin's purple shakes (see pics), bagels, cereal on occasion, and who knows what else...
Annie is loud.  Annie loves being the center of attention.  She has everyone wrapped around her little finger... those brothers think she can do NO wrong.
She loves animals, outside, bath time, going places in the car, cooking, playing in my closet, helping Daddy mow, riding on the outside toys with Ford and Bitty, baby dolls, being held, snacks, popsicles, play driving the car, golf cart rides...
She's prissy and girly.  As soon as she wakes up she touches her head and says, "bow".  She loves jewelry, shoes, accessories, make up etc.  She also loves playing with boy toys because we all know we have plenty of them!
Speaking of spaghetti.....
We are thankful for this little bundle of joy!!!!!!!

Soccer stars

  It’s funny that roughly two months ago when Trey and I mentioned to the boys that they should play soccer there was panic.  Ford immediately stated that he didn’t want to play because that really wasn’t his sport.  He’s more into baseball, football, and basketball.  Then Bitty piggy backed on what Ford said because he was being a follower, I suppose, and said he wasn’t playing either.  Well, the last time I checked they don’t make the rules, they just abide by them, or are supposed to abide by them, so I signed them up.

   They were somewhat ticked when they learned that I signed them up, but like most things that don’t go their way, they got over it.  And will you know that BOTH boys ended up having a blast, scoring goals, and are SAD the season is over!  See, sometimes they don’t even know what they want to do.
That time your coach got on to you for screaming....
Green Dragons
These children went ALL season long and were UNDEFEATED!!!!!
Ford and Cooper... 3rd or 4th cousins
I'm proud of my little soccer stars!
