Derek and I met in high school and I instantly fell in love. Derek took a little convincing, which came back around to him when he was trying to get me to marry him. He did, however, convince me and we have now been married for six and a half beautiful years. We have four wonderful and crazy children: Dathan, Blake, and Savanna, and Macady. I can't believe I'm old enough for this paragraph to be describing me.

Cluff's Pond

Savanna and Addy are starting to play cooperatively (within reason).

Blake didn't go much farther into the water than this (except when he tripped).

Dathan was a champion rower, especially when Bryant was acting as his motor on the back end.

Well, this is my first video ever, sorry it is sideways. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

Last but not least.....(Yes I did this backwards)

Pampering Mom for Mother's Day (yes painting my fingernails),
Graduating from preschool,
Making cheesey faces......
for our Memorial Day Picnic!

Continuing on....

Diving in the deep end,
Looking cute with cousins,
Riding the "Salsa Train" across the Gila Valley,
Posing on the Caboose,

Some of the things we've been doing lately...

Playing some serious soccer,
Getting good and muddy,
Enjoying the melodic sounds of the Slobberin' Kantaloupes,
Visiting and celebrating with old friends,

Savanna is to the age where she thinks she is so big. She is becoming a monkey just like her older brothers.
This is her being proud because she is sitting in a stadium chair that folds up by itself. She loved that. It entertained her through most of the game. She actually enjoyed when it would fold up and fold her in half. Such a funny little girl. 2.5 months to nursery.

This is about a third of all the paper airplanes we have in our house right now. Dathan is obsessed. And he won't let me throw any of them away (if I find one on the floor and he is not around it goes straight to file 13). He comes up with lots of different designs, some effective, some not. I do think he is a creative little guy.
