Happy Birthday Harrison Howard

Happy 1st Birthday Harrison Howard! We started out the day with his picture on Michigan this Morning. He looked so cute. I keep singing, "Go shorty.....It's yer' birthday....We're gonna paaaty like it's yer birthday!!" One.... wow, how time flies. Harrison is chubby, cuddly, an always hungry, bundle of joy. He is a blessing. He adores Blase and his favorite monkey Oliver..Ollie for short. Ollie was a gift from Grandma and Aunt Sandy. He calls for Da da whan he wakes up, and every time we walk upstairs he looks at me and says,"Night Night?" Harrison is the love of our lives. Enjoy the pictures of Harrison...I have to bake his cake. Hope to blog again soon.

Our 1st tee ball game!

Our 1st tee ball game! Blase had his first game and we had so much fun and Blase did well. Doug is coaching with our friend/neighbor. We are having a riot. Blase likes it, but not as much as much as soccer and basketball. Right before the game coach Doug gave him a pep talk, and he listened intently. No runs were counted, it was 42 degrees, we all froze, but it was fun.

Happy Birthday Blase

Happy Birthday Blase! 5 years old already...where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was anticipating your arrival. The last five years have gone by so fast, but I have been blessed to be home with you and enjoy every part of your life. I remember the days that seemed to be forever...watching the wiggles, walking the mall, chasing you around the yard, changing many diapers. Now our season has changed good bye diapers....Hello t-ball, sleep overs with friends and now kindergarten. I love being your momma. I love your stories, the questions you ask, and the way you love Harrison. I am so thankful for you Blase Douglas. You are precious to me. Thank you for your tender heart and your love for Jesus. I love you poops! Happy 5Th Birthday!

We celebrated Blase and Harrison's birthday together. Blase was 5 on the 8Th and Harrison will be 1 on the 23rd. It was fun. The theme of the party was Sponge Bob, Scooby Doo, and Monster Jam. Only Blase! haha. The decoration were lovely, and seemed to mesh well. We did our first pinata, and of course it was hit. I didn't really want to do one, but that was the one thing Blase wanted. He said, "Mommy, can we pease have a PA Knot Ya?" I gave in simply because I love to hear him call it that. I was however selective on the treats. The kids got lots of crabby patties,chocolates and gummy worms. The cake was picture perfect. Harrison didn't really like the cake as much as I thought he would, but I thought it was delicious. I think I will still bake another cake for him on Friday. I love to celebrate! Doug's birthday is the 30Th so healthy eating is out for me this month. I never really thought about it until now,but how crazy is it that the 3 of them have birthdays in the same month. I think God knew how much I love emeralds!!I would like to thank Nick for capturing all the memories, while we entertained...you are great. I love and miss you all. Hope to see you soon. P.S. I also included a free hand drwing of El Toro Loco, Blase's favoite monster truck. I drew it, so we could play pin the nose ring on El Toro Loco..how did it look Mag?

Vaught Speed Way

Hello everyone! A new computer slowed me down, but now I am back in business. These are pictures from Virginia, when we all raced go karts. Vaught Motor Sports is the best place to get a go kart from. We had a blast! Thanks J. for all the hard work you did to make our trip fun. We love you!
