Naughty OR Nice?

 

The boys were excited for this picture until Brittany actually started pulling those lights!
 
I hope everyone else is enjoying some family time this Christmas season.

A day in the life: Cotton Planting

Image
It's 10:54pm on a Tuesday.  Doug is still planting away at the field.  My dedicated, hard working, passionate farmer has been known to log some long days.  The past few weeks I realize just how often.  We miss him when he's not home for supper with us. My eyes grow weary waiting on him to get home safely.  The kids ask when Daddy will be home. I say, I'm not sure and Brittany comments, "That means late".   The point is this.  We realize the importance of his passion and dedication, but the outside world sometimes does not. I know during planting and harvest season that he will not be able to go to family gatherings, watch our kids' sporting events, or jump in the car for a family outing. The kids and I eat supper alone and now that Summer is here we sit up and wait for him to walk in the door!   He keeps a high stress level from now until the crop is harvested. So we savor our time with him when we ...

Because I love our love the most . . .

It's been ten years since we said I DO , really? "Are you serious?" - This was my answer when Doug asked me to marry him. I know I'm a pathetic idiot. I was just in shock that he really wanted to marry me. I quickly said yes before he had a chance to really think about my silly question! Now, before I blubber on about how wonderful ten years of marriage is, let me say; it's not all rainbows and butterflies. We've had a few bumps and hiccups along the way, but those have truly made our relationship grow stronger. In our newlywed stage we would occasionally list out why we loved each other. Like for instance; I love the way you leave your laundry on the floor instead of in the hamper or I love the way you burn my fried chicken. You know . . . those type love sayings - just kidding (on the why I love you part because we did say those things too)! So to the love of my life, here are a few reasons I love you! Daddy . . . You accepted this tit...

Six months + Three busy kids = A much needed Summer!

Image
Wow, we have been super busy lately and blessed along with way with so many family memories!! Cannot believe it's June already. In January we celebrated our first born son's 8th Birthday. Lockwood loves to help me plan and I'm so thankful that he does. His birthday is 10 short days after Christmas so we whipped up his choice of a Duck Dynasty themed party. Complete with DIY yarn beards and duck calls! February brought us this beautiful 15 year old, a permit, lots of basketball games, and a weekend trip with her girlfriends. We are so proud of the young lady she is becoming! While we're talking about February - our all time favorite sport came in season, SOCCER! All three kids started practice and the boys kicked off their season of Rec. March winds blew up a whirlwind of busy on-the-go-on-the-go-on-the-go . . . Most weeks consisted of at least 4 soccer games and practice in-between. Did I mention that I coached them all? The bo...
