Mya's Birtday Party

We finally had a Birthday Party for miss Mya! We had put it off because my parents were in Florida over her B-day. Then it just never worked for someone the next weeks. We did it last weekend and it was beautiful weather. She loved just playing outside with family mostly!


Here's the B-day girls with her bubbles. She is so facinated with these.

Mammaw Knepp made the cake. We loved it. Mya especially:)Jayce couldn't wait to pull it out and see what happened:) All boy.

I can't believe my baby is 2!! :( They do grow up WAY TOO fast!!


My three sweethearts:) Yummy frosting.


She is a pro at opening gifts, she rips the paper right off. Hailey was always slow and likes to take her time. Mya is more like Jayce, doesn't waste any time at all!


Her favorite gift was the twin sister dolls that talk to each other. OF course MORE babies.


We spent most of the time outside. Here is Pappaw Raber jumping with the kiddos!!


Playing badmitten


We enjoyed celebrating our sweetheart! It's just sad that the time goes so fast.

Easter 2010!

It is another BEAUTIFUL day!! I have my windows open and it feels wonderful:) It's back to a regular monday:( Jayce and Hailey went to school today, and they were just fine with it, no complaining. I can't wait for summer break. I love having them all home with me!

We had a very good easter. It was a nice day out and the sunrise service at church was so touching! The youths skit especially touched my heart. We had a yummy breakfast afterwards and then headed to mom's to spend time with our family:) Corbin's first time there!! The kids were sooo happy to see him and Brycen they LOVE LOVE LOVE them both!!! After lunch we came home and Mya and I took a little nap. He He! While daddy went fishing and Jayce and Hailey played baseball with their aunt and uncle and gramma and grampa Raber! Then we spent the rest of the evening at home together:) So nice!! I have a few pictures from our day.

Spring Break 2010!!!

It has been a WoNdErFuL spring break! I'm not ready for the kids to go back to school:( It was such beautiful weather. We had lot's of things to do. Monday we just relaxed around home, played outside and hailey had gymnastics that evening. Tuesday I had to work. Wendsday we went to the park. Thursday Jayce and pappaw went fishing and the girls and I played outside AGAIN!! :) Then we went putt-putting when daddy came home. Today we went to mason's for lunch, eye doctor to pick out Jayce's new glasses and wal-mart. This evening we went to mom's and dyed some eggs. Hopefully tommorow the rain will stay away so the kids can hunt easter eggs at the gastof. Then a wedding tommorow night. Of course Sunrise service Sunday morning. Wow! We are BUSY!!
I have a few pictures I need to update. We stayed at a hotel last weekend during basketball state. We swam and swam and swam some more:)
Jayce barely comes up to breathe!!


Mya never did like water before but fell in LOVE with it there. Now she wants to "swim" all the time.





Daddy and his two kids watching the basketball games while in the pool



This is my little viking fan at the game on Saturday!
These next pictures are from Mason's today. Jayce HAD to eat in the car beside the tray. LOL! Mom and I sat at a table so it would be easier to feed the girls.



Tonight we dyed eggs and Mya had sooo much fun.







It is a little crazy to dye eggs with a 2 year old and yes Mya and I have blue legs!! She was reaching to get something and poured a whole cup of dye on her and I! YUCK!! It was quite a disaster. Oh well hopefully it will come off before the wedding tommorow night. Yikes, I think people would look at me funny if I have a blue foot and leg.;) It was a lot of fun though.
Have a wonderful Easter Weekend!

Well let's see we have been busy as usual. But I LOVE LOVE this time of the year. Spring is here and we are preparing for all the summer fun:) Hailey has had softball open gym and Jayce has had his first baseball practice this year already! I love watching them play. My Lillies are blooming it's just a wonderful time of year. Hopefully all my kids asthma problems will stay away during the summer. They have had a rough winter with it this time:( But we are blessed, nothing major. We can handle that. Thank you my dear God:) Mya Faith is 2 now! And can say it very well! We had a little celebration of cupcakes with just us on the day of her b-day. We will have a party with the family hopefully soon now. My parents were in Florida. She loved it even though. Everytime someone would sing Happy B-day she'd smile REAL big and say "ME"!



Now let me tell ya we have a TRUE Barr-Reeve fan! Hailey Brooke LOVES to celebrate all these wins. She has to go to the celebrations also:) She is very very excited for Indy this weekend, and yes we are going. It is a nice excuse to stay in a motel for the night too!
She has to have her face painted and daddy does a very good job!
Mya says "ME" of course so she gets some too:)

Silly girl!

Here's my little BR fans Saturday night. Jayce was not there he did not feel the best he started with his asthma again.

Last week one day our dog was barking and barking so we checked it out. This is what we found!








YIKES!! EWW!!!


The kids were facinated.



Here is Mya taking one of her many bubble baths! Her favorite thing to do!




Hopefully the weather will warm up again this week!

Lovin this weather!

Like lots of others we have been out enjoying this WONDERFUL weather! I can't wait for it to stay warm. We have been fighting colds for the last couple weeks, but it doesn't seem near as bad when the weather is warm and it's sunny out:) I can already tell Mya will be a handfull outside this summer she just wanders off. In this pic from today you can tell she has to take a baby out and take it with her wherever she goes. Even if it is more difficult to do things. In just a couple weeks my older 2 will be on spring break. I can't wait. We will love every minute of staying up late and not worrying about school work:)

Big Weekend:)

Wow, we had a lot going on over the weekend! Friday poor Jayce had to go to school and Hailey got to stay home. Kindergarten Round-up. The girls and I went to Evansville Children's Museum with Jessica and her girls. It was a lot of fun. Hailey has talked about it nonstop since:) We even ate at Chuckee Cheese afterwards. Yum!!! Isabelle and Mya became friends on the way there. They held hands and shared snacks.






Best Friends!!





This was Mya's favorite part. She wanted to stay there all day.




Some very smart girls. Teamwork, it helps you balance a LOT longer:)

Digging for Dinasour Bones.
We arrived home JUST in time to get Jayce off the bus. Spent some time with the kids, then John and I headed to Ryan and Chelsa's. I couldn't stand it I had to go see them again. The kids went to my parents house, which they love. I got to spend time with my two nephews and Ryan and Chelsa OF COURSE. I love you to guys.


Me and C


John took a picture of me reading to the two boys. Then we went to Wal-Mart and home. Saturday we hung out around home and then went to John's parents and played cards. Sunday we went to church, mom's for lunch, then Hailey and I went to a bridal shower then to John's parents again for dinner and more cards. My two oldest LOVE to play cards. Jayce likes rook and I don't even know how to play that. That was our wonderful weekend! Now it's finally March and I am even more anxious for Spring to get here:)
