My dad made this amazinzg swingset in Colorado then drove it down here and assembled it for us.  It was awesome having him here.  The swing is too tall for the girls to pump themselves.  When I push them I have to grab the seat and let it pull me off the ground so I can give them a good push.  It makes me laugh ,especially when I miss.  Jacob likes to twist up the swing and let it go until they can barely hang, laughing so hard there is no noise and drool coming out the side of their mouths.  There is a big pole to slide down.

Here it is, almost seven glorious months since thebirth of baby Jordyn and I am just getting back to blog land. i wasn't sure anyone would read our blog and i was disheartened. i checked in a couple weeks ago, and lo and behold, five blessed friends had left messages. Hope was rekindled in my heart and after reading a couple other friends blogs, i realized what a blessing i think they are. I love seeing pictures. So, if any of you happen to grace us with your presence on our blog again and you have a blog, please let me know, I will be sure to follow. Like I said, seven months have passed. The baby is sitting well on her own for the last couple months, she scoots her feet around if i "walk" with her, and she is pulling herself over trying to get around. i think she will be crawling in no time. She is a happy baby. I can hear her banging her toys around in the next room. She is safe from the other two for now, as they are eating the neighbor out of popcicles. the icky, sti...

hello out there in blog land. this is a short description of our family. We are five plus a dog, two horses and a fish named Morty, thats right, Morty, not Marty, Morty. Lilly is very particular about this. Jacob and I were married in Denver, Colorado, in 2002, or was is 2003, jacob would know for sure. We have three girls, Lillian (Lilly,), Joslyn (Josi) and the smallest though she will probably be the tallest when all is said and done, Jordyn (a.k.a. "the baby"). We live in Choctaw Oklahoma. Our German Shepherd's name is Brewster. The neighbor's dog also spends quit most of its time here and lilly calls it "lil' fella" although we figured out he is a she. The horses names are Woodrow and Maggie. Maggie was a stray. yes, a stray horse. It happens quite a lot here, actually. We love making cookies and reading stories and going to the park. That's it for now, i have to make lunch, or so the kids tell me. the pictures are of crystals on grass in our b...

I forgot I had written back in October, here I go again. Joslyn(10)  is NOT doing cheerleading, she is trying out softball.  Ashlyn decided she wanted to be a soccer "pro" so I signed her up a week ago, then she declared she wants to stay with gymnastics and not be a soccer "pro." Now she wants me to buy gymnastic equipment and "coach" her at home.  She is intense, that is for sure.  She has been practicing her cart-wheels in the living room, only crashing into the dog cage once, having a total melt down Friday night because she was so tired and couldn't get the cart-wheel just right.  By Sunday evening, she was flying through the air with legs straight up, usually making a feet first landing.  We are trying to find a dance studio for Jordyn.  She is not competitive, she is a bit of  a free spirit and dancing might be fun for her.  Lilly is going to do golf for the Middle School this spring today: we went to church, the kids are in new class...
