Amy and Brian

My cousin AKA sister:) is getting married in August. She and her fiance live in Texas (where Amy is finishing up her doctorate and then moving back to Arkansas to be closer to her favorite cousin/sister/best friend:). Her and Brian came up for the weekend for a wedding shower and we thought we'd take a few pictures. These pictures were taken at the lake in Guy. Sonny and Betty have the most beautiful back yard!!! Here are some of my favorite pics... there's also one of my niece Jacey (couldn't you just eat her up in that John Deere hat:).

Sweet Surprise, Cute Tee and Short Temper

Cameron bought me the prettiest flowers today:). My birthday is Sunday so he thought he would get me something sweet to kick off the birthday weekend:).


We got Piper some really cute onsies at Target the other night:) This one is one of my favs... it says DADDY ROCKS and sings to me:) how sweet and appropriate!


Ugghhhh... I hate my flesh. I despise losing my temper and seem to do it often with sweet Parker. I think it's because he's so much like me with all of his passions and energy. He is sooo passionate about life which is super fun but he's also just as passionate when he's upset and I try so hard not to lose my cool with him but unfortunately I fail all too often. I screamed at him today before nap time so when he got up I apologized and told him I wanted to pray with him and ask God to forgive mommy... only problem is I probably should've turned off Word Girl first:)... Do you all have kiddos with entirely different personalities and find it difficult sometimes to handle?

Mr. Personality

These videos are sooo sweet of little Parker. In the first one he's being a RoCk StAr and in the second he's singing to
Sweet Piper:). I really wish I could freeze these moments forever!

2 months, dirty words, diaper update

It's hard to believe that Sissy is already 8 weeks old! She's doing great! Her favorite thing is to be swaddled. She immediately stops fussing once we start to swaddle her. It's so sweet. She still sleeps in bed with Cam and I and I just love snuggling with her in the morning:). Parker is still ridiculously crazy about her. This is pretty much what Piper looks like all day...

Parker's face is permanently glued to hers with a kiss:)

I've been trying to prepare Andrew for Kindergarten. He really is sweet and innocent and I'm just wanting him to be prepared for some kiddos that might not be very obedient and say ugly things. I told him that some kids might say ugly words sometimes. He and Parker were like, "what kind of ugly words?" Andrew said, "You mean like stupid or maybe they'll say that the teacher has poopoo on her head". I said, "Yea, something like that":).
Cloth diapering is still going great. I've only dried the diapers in the dryer once, all other times were on the line. I'm still washing every 2 days but sometimes am able to wait until the 3rd. Since I'm cloth diapering, I decided to make my own baby wipes, too. I just cut up a couple of baby towels and make a mixture out of baby soap and water in a big glad bowl. It's much easier than disposable wipes because I can just throw them in the diaper pail instead of making a trip to the trash can. I thought I would probably use disposables every now and again but since I started cloth diapering 6 weeks ago, I've only used about 2 disposable diapers.
Just had to add this pic.. we went swimming the other day for a LONG time and Andrew's hands looked like the hands of an old man:).

One of my biggest fears has come true...

I am so terrified of spiders. I think every spider I see is a black widow, tarantula or brown recluse:). Cam always thinks I'm ridiculous. Well, I killed a spider the other day that I really thought was a brown recluse but I threw it away so I couldn't show him. Our bug guy was scheduled to come today and Cam told me right before we go to bed that he has a couple of spiders for the bug guy to look at to see if they are brown recluse!!! AAAAAHHHHH!! Needless to say, I literally didn't sleep at all. I kept thinking spiders were in our sheets. Well, the bug guy confirmed that we do have brown recluse. I'm sooo scared. Spiders just paralyze me with fear!! And the boys have been playing in every dark, undisturbed place we have today.. like they're just trying to get bit!! Cam, trying to make it better sends me this from Wikipedia "this spider is not aggressive and usually bites only when pressed against the skin, such as when tangled up within clothes, bath towels, or in bedding"... Is he crazy, that only made it worst!! Now I'm horrified to get in bed or dry off with a towel.

Just for fun (at my husband's expense:)

While I was filling out the police report and waiting to finish up at the wreck, a lady came up and said, "Hello Doogie Howser" to Cameron:). It was so funny! He gets that a lot but he also gets called several others. So who do you think he looks like?




And by the way, he said it was okay if I posted this but did request I add who he really looked like (hehehe:).

Monday morning

The house smells great because I'm making this, thanks Jennifer. Poor Cam is at work and is going to miss out:( We miss him!! He was off work 3 days last week which was VERY helpful because of our wreck. I've had a constant headache since and my neck is horrible:(. Maybe I should call Dr. Parker, he's currently playing doc with Piper. It's sweet:) He's got some of his toy tools and is fixing her. She doesn't seem to mind.
We don't really have anything planned for today, hopefully it will be a nice, lazy Monday.
