Palin is One!










I am a little late in posting, and I have not posted Halloween pics yet. But this month we celebrated Palin turning ONE! This last year has flown by. I can not believe that she is ONE! Here are some of her ONE year old pics. Enjoy! Details on the party to come.

Cash's 5th birthday Party

Cash turned 5 this past week, and we celebrated with his birthday party on Saturday! We held the party at the community center by our house! It was great to have it there and made it really easy for set up and clean up! We had a CARS themed party this year.



Cash had two baseball games before his party, I was really worried that he was going to be too tired to enjoy his party, but he had a blast. We had a bounce house and he stayed in it the majority of the time, with all the other kids.






Mom made Palin a Lightning McQueen dress to wear to the party, so she matched all the decorations!





This is Cash's little friend Cheyenne. She is so cute and the yare so cute together! Maybe one day there will be wedding bells!



This year Cash started to get into Superheros, so he got lots of boy toys as I call them. We have Spiderman, Batman, Captain America, etc in our house now!



Cash needed a little help blowing out his candles, so dad had to help lift him up to blow out his candles. We had a great time at his party. Its had to believe that he is 5! Even harder to believe that Palin will be ONE in less than 2 months!

Red River New Mexico!

We went to Red River, New Mexico to the mountains for a week the beginning of July! It was nice to enjoy the cool weather and spend sometime with Toby's Parents and his brother. We rented a house there for the week and enjoyed riding 4 wheelers, hiking and just hanging out!
Cash made some friends at the gun fight show one afternoon!

There were mountains that we rode the 4wheelers up and there were all kinds of abandoned mines along the way that we were able to stop and look at.

It took two days and 20 hours to drive there. We drove the first day to Amarillo and got to eat at Big Texas. They had the worlds largest rocking chair that I have ever seen! They make Cash and Palin look small!


My favorite part of any 4wheeling is going through big water puddles! I love gettting covered in mud, its make the experience more fun I think.



Traveling with Kids we made lots of stops to let them play. Only is West Texas do you find a playground that tells you to watch for snakes while your kids are playing!





The house that we rented was awesome! It was huge and had plenty of room for everyone!


Look closely and you can see Palin!














This was taken about 530am the last morning that we were there to head home. Cash was less than amused to be up at that hour, you can tell my the look on his face. It was a great vacation!

5 Years and 9 Months

We took the kids to have thier pictures done the other day. Cash is turning 5 and Palin is 9 months old! Time is flying by. They are both growing so much, and so fast.

On a good note, I am changing positions next month, and will be on our nightshift! I will still be with McKesson, just in a new position. I am really excited and think that this will finally give me more time with the kids in the afternoon, and be able to be at things like Dr Appts, and Tball practice.

Cash started his last year in Pre-K yesterday, and his pal Will was supposed to start Kindergarten but his mom decided at the last minute to have him wait until next year, so Cash is excited to have him in his class again this year.


We finally go him to buy some boots! He never was interested but now he was! (Will wears them at school) So that probaley helped.

Palin... wow! What to say about her. She is a hoot. She is going to be the one that is into everything. Everytime that we turn around she is into something. She is now going after Cash and his toys all the time. He is learning that it may not be so cool now that she is mobile and can move where she wants to go!








We are having a blast and living each day. Seems like we are nonstop everyday with something! Just when I look foward to a weekend something gets planned, so looks like for us, that we will have some free weekends in November sometime! ha! Oh but wait, thats when Palin turns ONE!!

Helmet Time!

We took Palin to get her helmet on Monday. I am entering her in the calendar for the DOC BAND that they give out in the clinics to babies that have to wear the doc band calendar. Just trying to figure out what picture to use. Let me know what one you like?

Toby spent Monday night decorating her helmet so it would not be plain white and it would be fun!

The Last Month

Well, it seems like we have had something every weekend the last month. That may be because we really have. Cash started Tball last month, so that take up most of our Saturday mornings attending his games.
His Tball team is the Astros and he is really having fun with it. We have games through the rest of May. Before Tball started we had to get the bat, the glove and a tball bat. Oh yeah, and new Nike cleats to play in.

Tobys parents came down in April to watch a tball game and go to Kemah for the weekend. We headed down early one Sunday morning. The weather was great and we had a blast. We ate lunch at Landry's .

Cash and Toby's mom enjoyed riding some of the rides that they had and we all got super yummy funnels cakes for our snack before we left.

The following week, I took a couple days of vacation and we went to Galveston for a mini trip with the kids. We went to moody gardens and got to see a 4d movie. Let me say that this has to be the coolest experience ever.

Cash enjoyed his self. Toby and him rode the rides that were there and Palin and I hung out.


We went to the Aqauriuam, where we got to see Penguins and a real live octapus.

Before we left Cash wanted to go to the beach and see the water. So we parked and walked down to the water. It was a little chilly so there was no swimming for us. Just picture taking.

It was a busy April and May is becoming just as busy! Maybe this summer will slow down!
