This and That

I know I have been horrible at updating lately! We have been busy as usual. School takes up a lot of time. get home eat a snack, do homework, play, eat dinner then clean up and to bed. Goes so fast nights.:( But they both love it. Here are a few pictures

Mya and Hailey both LOVE their baths. Especially together. Jayce would rather shower now I guess he thinks that's a lot faster. He's so grown up!!

Mya has to help mommy do the dishes every time now. She pushes the bar stool over and climbs right up! As you can tell she enjoys it!

She is the MESSIEST eater right now, she would rather use her hands instead of the spoon!:)

This is our newest addition. Yes we almost have a farm I think. 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 rabbitts! The puppy is a puggle. Maddy!

This is my three cuties EARLY Saturday morning before going deer hunting. I can't believe my little girl likes to go too!! Jayce cannot sleep nights before I remember from last year. And friday night he was so excited he just could not fall asleep. They did not see anything but the two never complained. They're ready to go again.

Turkey Trot '09

My kids have been waiting for the turkey trot this year. Last year they had a blast and counted down the months. They are already started counting again. My parents have a camper at montgomery park and we get to camp for the weekend which makes it even more enjoyable. I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked but we just relaxed and enjoyed the weekend. I didn't worry about carrying my camera everywhere. Got a few though:)

Mya relaxing by the campfire

She loves to climb on this thing!

Hailey on Sat. night. She was really wearing down. Fell asleep right there around the fire:)

I don't think this little man would ever fall asleep anywhere but bed anymore. He's a go getter!

Hailey racing her turkey. She's right it the middle in the yellow

Mya's FIRST ride!

Hailey begged to take a ride with mya. When I let her mya did wonderful. So we actually got her a braclet then. She did stay sitting for the rides and loved them.

Loving it!!!

My two big kids:)

Mya loved to watch these rabbitts.

Hope you all are having a wonderful week!!

Adjusting

We are starting to adjust to this new routine now. It was a little difficult at first but now it's same ole same ole! Jayce and Hailey both love school, thank the Lord! And they are both doing wonderful! Jayce brought home a progress report last night, all A's except a B+ and a B the B was in handwriting, he has my handrwriting. not very neat. I told him I am very proud of him and he said but mom I got two B's. I said that is still very good as long as you are working as hard as you are. Oh and he still has 100% on spelling hasn't missed any on his spelling tests!! I had to brag a little:) Hailey seems to be doing well also. She did not have a progress report yet. She is so excited to get on the bus mornings. It makes it much easier when they are eager to go. Little miss Mya seems to enjoy the day with just mommy and her. She is a spoiled little stinker:) Hopefully the year keeps going like it is.

He's able, He's able

He's able, He's able, I know He's able
I know my Lord is able to carry me through.
I won't write out the whole song, but this has been in my head today. God is so good. I have some anxiety issues, some may know. But anyway I struggle with why I have this problem I pray and I pray for God to help me to let this go. I do trust God, I guess satan tries to get in again and make me worry. Anyway we had a rough long weekend, has to do with the people living in our rental house right next to us. Friday night The kids and I went to stay at mom's and I just was soooo nervous that it was making me sick. Well I prayed all night and finally sometime around 1:30 I just cried and said God I trust you please hold me. He was holding me I could just feel it. I felt such peace!! It was amazing!!! Thank you God for helping us through this weekend. If you all would please pray for the man. Satan does try to pull us down. Hopefully he will stay on the right track. Please pray for his wife that she will be ok and God will help her to make the right choices. Also please pray for us that we could help them out and know what God wants us to do in all this.
Thank you all,
Sonya

CORN!!

Let's see, where to start? I have skipped lot's that we have done lately. Sorry, just not enough time to update. I think i will just have to skip it and do last weeks events. Mya and I started off Monday of last week helping mom and dad freeze some corn. Mya did very well for the couple hours I was there. She watched and played fairly well. I love to get together and can and put things up for the winter. It's a nice time to talk and laugh. On Tuesday I picked the Jayce and Hailey up from school and we all went back to mammaw's to put some corn away for Ryan and Chelsa. My kids LOVE to freeze corn. I guess they are like me:) Anyway we stayed for a while and then we left before the cleanup, Ha! to get Jayce started on his homework and get everyone cleaned up for school the next day. Here are a few pic's

Digging in the corn ready to be cut!! Look at the pieces of corn on her face:)


There's my girl, that's my favorite part too:)



Miss Hailey Brooke watching grammy cut off corn


Yes Jayce cutting off corn. I know it looks dangerous, but he did not get hurt and he did very well. If you know Jayce you know that he will not give up, he likes to work and do just as we do.


Jayce showing Mya a worm

We did not do anything for our anniversary yet. We thought we would go on Sat. but Hailey ran fever most of the weekend so we will have to see. This weekend we will not be able to go either. We'll get to it eventually I hope. I won't let John forget! LOL!
Anyway Sunday we went to mom's for lunch, it was such a beautiful weekend and week so far this week. I took some pic's of the kids playing in the backyard at mom's.

My sweethearts!!



Now this picture is just hilarious!! Not sure what is going on! Hands on hips, HMM!!:)
I hear my little Mya waking up so time to go!

9 Wonderful Years!

This picture looks really bad on here but I had to put a wedding picture on. I didn't have time to scan it at mom's this week. So I just took a picture with my phone. Oh well!
This is our wedding day 9 years ago today!! Wow I can't belive it's been that long! It turned out perfect. It was an outdoor wedding at my parents house. My dad did a wonderful job with all the landscaping. He worked so hard. My mom did a lot too, I was only 19. I needed lot's of help. But I was in LOVE and determined to get married. I am very happy that we did! He is a wonderful husband and father to our 3 beautiful babies!!

Firsts for both my kids this year!!

I can't belive my baby girl is going to Kindergarten!!:() I have been a worry wart mommy lately. Trying not to let the kids see it. I had been praying and praying for these kids for oh I don't know how long before school started. So far they both like school. Jayce started in the big school this year he is in second grade! He doesn't say much but he never complains about school. He loves to go see his friends. One of the very few things he said about school was, you don't get seconds at lunch there. If you know Jayce you know that would be a big deal to him. He is a big eater! :) But I think he'll survive! Ha! He says his teacher is really nice too. Hailey loves school so far...... Hopefully it stays that way! She has been singing a song they learned today alllllll night! It is cute! Mya LOVES it. She dances along while Hailey sings. Anyway she was excited tonight saying Mrs. Jacobs said we are going to learn to read!! She has also been so excited that she gets to sit beside Avery and Trista in class! Oh and another very sweet thing my big boy did on the first day of school was, he sat by hailey that afternoon on the bus on the way home. He couldn't wait to see how hailey's day was:) Proud mamma!!

My big kids waiting on the bus!

Jayce my second grader:)

Mya and I were a little lost without the two big ones around! We played on the slide and played with the kitties of course. Her VERY favorite things to do!! We survived!

Mya goes on the slide all by herself now!

As you can see she LOVES these kittens!

My cutie patootie!
