John turns 24!!

John and kaydence have very close birthdays and it is a lot of fun to celebrate these events together. whenever i ask john what he wants for his birthday he says he already had everything and kaydence was the best gift of all. i am so grateful for my husband and i want him to know how much i love him and appreciate how hard he works for us to have a good life. we were able to go out to dinner on his birthday and he chose tgi Fridays and it was really good and a lot of fun. thanks meme and the girls for watching kaydence. John I love you with all my heart and Happy birthday to my Man and a happy new year to celebrate being 24 and no matter what i will always be older and wiser than you.

My baby is 1!!!!!

kaydence had a birthday yesterday and she is 1 i cant believe it and i am so glad that we made it through the 1st year with great expectations.

Here she is snuggling with john on his birthday which was the 21st of august and being that she is 1 she never snuggles anymore so this is so sweet.

Buying cakes is getting expensive so i got creative and this is the result. one is for her to eat and one is for the rest of us.

I love her smiles and she is such a happy baby. she also has 8 teeth now so the smile is getting full.

Songs of the times!

So i was looking at everybodys blogs and nisa had a song on hers from the day she was born so here are some of our hits. these are the #1 songs on that day of that year.


Sherrill B-day September 17,1981- Endless love by Diana ross and lionel Richie
John b-day August 21,1984- Ghostbusters by Ray parker Jr.
Kaydence b-day August 23, 2007- Beautiful girls by sean kinston

our own place

This weekend we are moving into our own place and it is so exciting to start over and begin our new arkansas life. kaydence got another 2 teeth so that bring s the tally up to 8. she has evolved so much she says "what" and yes and she has discovered that when you give her a kiss if she sticks her tongue out she gets quite the reaction. we are excited i will put lots oof pictures up next week after i get settled and the batteries charged.love everyone and miss you.

Kaydence dancing has evolved

kaydence loves to dance when she hears music its on. I love how her dance has evolved.

Pink Toes

Kaydence is Climbing the stairs now. Roni thought it would be cute to paint her toe nails and this is the result.

Drive to Arkansas

The car is packed and we are ready to go if only we new what was ahead. 30 hours in the car humidity and the same songs on the radio over and over.

Laughlin

she is ready to go. ROAD TRIP

Arizona Pretty Flat

She looks like a chipmunk when she eats her graham crackers and i love this pic

In albequerqe we stopped for dinner and all there buildings have flat roofs I have never seen that before.

we let her out of her chair every stop we made and she loved to play in the car.

Arizona and texas pretty much looked like this the whole way very flat.

this was almost to the border of texas and oklahoma, biggest cross i have ever seen

30hours in the car does this to a kid. she tried escaping the seat belt.

i havent paid 3.69 a gallon for like 4 months i cant even remember under 4.00

its hard to see but the mural on the building was pretty cool

This one is for brent sorry its not a better picture it is so hard taking pictures when john is driving 75 mph. Oklahoma city

I have never seen so much green in my whole life it is beautiful.

Visit to California Before the Big Move

John and i went to California to say our goodbyes before the big journey to Arkansas and we celebrated kaydences 1st b-day a little early and my parents 28th wedding anniversary, and we took a family portrait. thank you to my family for always spoiling us and taking care of us when we need it. While we were there we also got to celebrate Aunt lori and uncle billies retirement and we got to see the entire family. it was a good way to go out seeing everybody.

The Jurassic park sized bugs

so in the previous post i spoke of bugs and here is the proof. this is the monster that john was afraid of and the top picture is what is left of the broom. we sacrificed the actual broom part to the trees cause that is where it flew while john was swinging it.

We Did it!!!

we are officially in Arkansas and it is so pretty here. of course with greatness comes grossness, the bugs are the size of golf balls and seeing john get attacked by one is pretty freakin hilarious. the humidity is not that bad only when you are loading and unloading a trailer. i have never seen so many trees in my life and they are beautiful. the trees are filled with Katydids and they make a very loud noise that is almost but not quite relaxing. The Katydids are really big grasshoppers, i now know why all the houses have covered screen porches. i could definatley enjoy the outside if i knew that there were no bugs crawling all over me. John started work today and has already called to tell me he loves it and he is so happy and less stressed. i am excited to see what a forty hour work week looks like cause he was working about 70 a week before for the same money. we will be home hunting in the weeks to come so i will keep you all updated on everything. I will also post pictures as soon as i unpack my camera cord.

Its Official

On monday we are leaving to move to Arkansas and i will not have my computer for at least 5 days so i will post a whole bunch after we get there. i will take lots of pictures and i will even have stories to tell. it has been so long since i went on a road trip this long and its a first with my new family. heres a couple of cute pics of us just to get you through the next week or so.

To eat or Not to Eat!!!!

Kaydence usually loves her vegetables and she eats an assortment. but lately i get this reaction from her. it is pretty cute when you think that your 9month old really can understand you. she is almost 11 months now and time has gone by so fast. i miss my newborn but am thrilled to interact with her the way that we do.

kaydence misses dani and niki.

I was checking my emails and kaydence saw some pics of the girls and started to go nuts. this is what i caught on tape. she loves you too meme but i dont have any pictures of you so maybe we could get some in the future.

Happy 4th of July!!!!

We spent the morning with everybody and grammers took ben and kaydence on wagon rides all over. then we went over to the park for the hot dog festival and we visited with lots of old and new friends. after that we came home to rest for a little bit and i had to apply aloe vera on myself and kaydence cause as hard as i tried to stay out of the sun, it still found us. Then at about 7:30 we went to the church where we saw lots of family and at 9 we watched the fireworks. kaydence loved it and said lots of oohs and aaahs. overall it was a good day and we are so greatful for the men and women who are serving in our country so that it can be great.

swimming with ben ben

Papa and grandma got Ben and kaydence a little pool. kaydence did not like it too much cause it was cold but she sure looked cute in her little swimsuit. Benjamin on the other hand loved it and splashed all of us and pranced around in it all morning. thank you for the sweet swimming pool. many more adventures to come.

great grandparents

Kaydence and i came up to California to visit with my parents and my sisters. we all drove down to sand canyon and met my grandparents and had a picnic lunch. we had a blast and got to play with great parents
kaydence has only seen them one other time so it was fun. we love grandpa and grandma Davies and hope to spend many more Sunday afternoons with them. thank you for the great day.
