Mother's Day 2012

I am a mom.  I'm happy, sad, grouchy, frustrated, loved, joyful, thankful, a giver, a taker, a yeller, a calm voice.....so many things...but above all, I am BLESSED to be a mom to two of the sweetest, stinkiest, crazy, LOUD, fun, whiney, lovey boys I know.  I pray daily that I will be a good and Godly example to them.

Zoo Trip!

After the fun day in Elgin eating crawdads, we went to the zoo to pet an elephant!  I'm pretty sure this makes me the best Aunt ever!

Wiley and Grant...sweet cousins!
You can also see Kendal with her Uncle Justin!

Wiley, Grant, Van and Kendal....waiting to go see the Elephants!

Well...I tried to get them all looking while the elephant was doing something cool!

Can you see her foot up on the rail???  Pretty cool!

Crawd-N-Rods 2012

We went to Elgin way back in May to go to Crawds-N-Rods.  It is the annual fund raiser for the Elgin Fire Department.  There is a crawdad broil, a car show and they also have a carnival.   It is always a fun time and this year we took along my parents, my niece and nephew.  Here are a few of the fun memories that we had!
