a NEW blog Post!!

So, tonight I checked my blogs like I always do and I had an urge to write a blog!! I went back to see when the last time I updated on the blog and it was back in March. Holy cow. so much has occured since March! Just a brief update on the past few months.
- tara got married!! we went to georgia for about a week and it was alot of fun but alot of work as well. Mikel wasn't able to go so I went with the two youngest. we got to fly, so Anna liked flying in the airplane!




-clint got married! we went to destin, fl!! we had a family vacation the week after so we got to spend some time on the beach and lots of fun stuff. truely enjoyed the time with aunt and uncle and cousins! it was a great family vacay and Mikel was able to go so it was awesome :) how could you go wrong with being in FL for a week and a half!


-the girls started school in early Aug. they both seem to be loving it!

Mikel just started a new position at work and so far he is loving it. and so am I! he comes home early some days and has a flexible schedule.
Ashlee just started back tball for the fall season! this will be her last season playing tball. her team is going to move up to machine pitch in the spring!! its going to be fun! we are looking forward to the fall and some good things coming up. We are planning on going to the great wolf lodge for fall break. I am also looking forward to our anniversary sunday/mission conference at church in October as well. My little man is growing up so fast. He is talking in his own language with a little bit of english every now and then...hehe! i'm finally starting to see the difference in having a boy. he is a boy for sure! he loves playing in the dirt and throwing things. anything he picks up lately, it gets tossed at his full strength. he has got into trouble several times for throwing toys at his sisters. I think we are both loving the time we are getting to spend together while the girls are at school! he can be such a sweet boy at times if he wants! that's all my rambling for now. I just type my thoughts as they come to me while I'm writing a blog, so you see why its so random! lol.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
It has been a great year for me! Of course, it's had the not so good moments but overall I would say that 2010 was pretty good for me!
2010 Highlights for ME
1. JETT's arrival in April
2. New house in Feb
3. many, many more little blessings

We had a great Christmas and enjoyed spending time with family and friends throughout the season! The girls were so much fun this year as they are getting older and got so excited! Jett surprised me. I didn't think he would have much to do with opening gifts, but he LOVED it! He would just tear into the paper and play and play with it! He didn't really care about what was inside the package but loved the tearing of paper.LOL
This year my cousin Tara was able to come home from Georgia for over 2 weeks. It has been so much fun hanging out with her. I miss her so much and wish one day she would be able to move back home. We grew up together and hopefully one day we will be able to live close again!

I am looking forward to 2011 and all it has in store for us! Back to normal routine in just a few short days and I'm not looking forward to it. As the girls will go back to school, the holidays over, tara goes home, and I go back to work........doesn't sound like much fun to me but its life and look forward to the next year ahead of us as we begin 2011!
Happy New Year!

So its August 31st...

So its August 31st, just one day before the beginning of September! As I sit here thinking of how its already almost September, I look back on this year so far and all I can say is that I am blessed!

At the beginning, back in January I remember feeling down and wanting so much and just trying to be patient and wait on the Lord's perfect timing. I was so very anxious to sell our house and move. April was getting close and we were still in the same house and my baby was going to come soon and would have no nursery. Ever since the shooting just a couple houses down the street and we were awake for it all, Mikel and I didn't really sleep one peaceful night again. I just felt scared and unsecured in that house/neighborhood from November until we finally got a offer on the house at the end of January! Praise the Lord. I look back and am SO very thankful because the way the housing market is right now we could have been still waiting to sell the house. I am so THANKFUL God provided a buyer for that house and we SOLD it without any problems! Although, I do miss my grandma just right around the corner.

Another thing, as I look back at this year so far. I remember looking for houses the next weekend after we got the offer. The price range we started looking in, I found NOTHING I would be happy with and thankful I didn't settle with one of those houses. After looking the whole weekend, I had an eye on 2 houses in my neighborhood now that at the time was over our budget. I decided I just wanted to go look at them so we did and the minute I walked into our house now, Mikel and I knew this was the house! Praise the Lord we were able to afford it and are loving it and still amazed at how God works because I would never imagine I would be living here. As a child, I lived in apartments, trailers, very small houses and so even through my house today isn't huge, I feel VERY blessed to be living here and my heart is so thankful because its in a great area and we are in a great school district!

Then soon after the move, my little baby boy came along! He is the BEST baby ever!! I am so thankful God gave him to Mikel and I as well! He completes our family!
So there you go, just a little bit of how thankful I am today as we begin the fall of the year. Thus far, God has blessed me and pray the rest of the year goes as great! I know its getting ready to get better too, cause its almost my birthday on Sept 7!! Yea, I will be 26! LOL
I can't wait to decorate for the fall in our new house!!! I love decorating for fall and Christmas! my 2 favorites!

Summer is Over....

Summer is offically over for Ashlee. She has now started kindergarten!! Her school has ALL DAY kindergarten! She is loving it. She has already made several new friends and seems to be adjusting to it well! She does have 2 small complaints...lol she doesn't like "brain break" or as she says it is "nap time" and she says the cafeteria food line smells so she won't eat in the cafeteria food and demands she take her own lunch everyday.
I am adjusting to Ash being gone the majority of the day. We leave for school at 8:30 and go to pick her up at 3:30 so pretty much I feel she is home for just a few hours before she has to go to bed :(
Anna and I both miss having our Ashlee around the house during the day. Although, it is nice not having the constant fighting and arguing between the sisters.
Jett is doing very well. He is 4 month already. Time really does pass so fast. At his 4 month check which was 2 weeks early he weighed 14 pounds and 2 ounces. He is doing well! He is now rolling over and reaching for things to put in his mouth. He is an amazing good baby! hardly ever does he really cry out. sleeps through the night....just a all around great baby. 3rd time is the CHARM! LOL

Summer

Just a little update on us.
We have been busy busy as usual! Lots of things going on and time passing by so very fast. We are getting used to being a family of 5! I didn't think it would slow me down as much, but in all honesty I believe it does. I used to leave the house in a drop of a hat, now I think twice about if I really need to go somewhere. It just seems like it takes forever to get all 3 kids dressed and around without wearing me out. LOL This summer we have added a small pop up swimming pool and a trampoline to our backyard! the girls are really enjoying them both! they were the girl's bday presents this year. Speaking of birthdays Ashlee just turned 5 on the 21 of June and Anna is turning 3 on the 21 of July. We just had their birthday party last week! This year we did a joint party and it turned out good. It sure was a lot easier and cheaper but I'm not sure Ashlee didn't steal the show. At Anna's age right now she really didn't care and actually doesn't really even realize much about birthdays yet. On Ashlee's actual bday we went out to frontier city with our family and had some birthday cookies and she enjoyed being the spotlight that day. Unfortunately, our church has VBS on Anna's actual birthday. I think we will go to the park and do something fun for her during the day so she will feel extra special on her day! I promised her a Yo Gabba Gabba cake on her actual bday so I will have to come up with something. If anyone of you have watched it, the show is a bit annoying. She wanted her party yo gabba gabba, but I convinced her to do something different for her party. The girls had a Jessie, Toy Story party! It turned out to be super cute! Rae did a great job with the cake!
Since Ashlee turned 5, she will start kindergarten at the end of Aug. I can't believe she will already be going to school. I feel like I just got out of school and shouldn't have a child already starting school. time really goes by so fast.
Our little boy, Jett is already almost 3 months old :( I cant believe how fast he has grown. I no longer have a little skinny boy. At his 2 month check up he weighed 12lbs 2ozs. He went from 5% at birth to 55% at 2 months! He definitely caught up and is a very healthy boy!! He will be rolling over soon! He moves around all over when he is in the floor! It wont be long!
Anna will get to go to VBS this year! She is getting so big! She is our family clown. she is constantly making us laugh! from sticking her head in the toilet to wash the soap, walking around target with a women shoe that's is huge on her and refuses to take off, and a new one tonight Jesus peed the bed. I dont know about the last one, but that's what she told us....LOL She is a handful! definitely the middle child.
One last thing, a prayer request. Please pray for Ashley Kate (she is the niece of Chuck and Rae, our assiocate pastor) She is in severe rejection of her transplanted organ and needs lots of prayers. Please pray for her family as well as they are separated while Ashley and her mom are in the hospital in NE and her dad, brother and sister are at home in TX. Here is her blog if you want to read more ashleyadamsjournal.blogspot.com

A Quick Post...

First of all, just looked at last date of last post and it was almost exactly a month ago. LOL

Well, in the last month, our lives have changed! We now have our precious little son...Jett Mikel! He was born on April 21st, 2010 at 6:19pm weighing 5 pounds 9 ounces, and 20 inches long! He is a little guy but oh so sweet! Just a little side note, all my children are born on the 21st of different months!

I will leave you with a picture of my little man...

2 months later...

Well, almost 2 months later, I finally decide to update my blog! So many things have happened in the last 2 months. It has went by so incredibly fast but all is good! As most of you know, we are moved into our new home in Edmond! We LOVE it! We love our house, neighborhood, everything. Well, maybe not the new payment on our new house...lol! Closing went well on our previous house. I'm oh so thankful to be out of that house and part of town. I feel so much secure and safer. We moved the weekend before our actual closing date due some work issues with Mikel and being during the week, so we stayed with my in laws for almost a week and were able to do some painting of the walls in our new house before we actually moved into the house. Every single wall in our home was white and I couldn't stand it so paint went on the walls right away. Overall, our move went very smoothly and we are loving our new house and couldn't be happier!

Moving on...so our baby boy is due in less than a MONTH. OMG, time has went by so fast and I can't believe I am going to be the mother of 3. Holy Moly! In the last couple of days, I think the reality of Jett almost being here has really sank in. Although, I'm excited to meet my baby boy, it makes me so sad that Anna is not going to be my baby anymore. She is still a baby to me! I feel like I am forcing her to grow up and become bigger. Which kinda scares me because I felt this same way with Ashlee right before Anna was born, so I know labor must be coming soon. For some reason, me being pregnant with our 3rd child, does not seem real. Even though I feel it, I just can't come to realization I am going to have an infant in less than a month and have 3 kids. I'm in denial. LOL! Like its not actually going to happen. I feel like I'm in a dream. I know I will adjust but I'm really having a hard time with this one. I don't know maybe just my pregnancy hormones kicking in.
Also, I begin to think about labor and I have to fight the tears back. Knowing that my mom is not going to be there coaching me through labor is heartbreaking. She was there at both of my girl's birth encouraging me to keep pushing...I can hear her now saying "come on Whitnee, she is almost out" "just one more push" Even though, it got a bit annoying at times when I heard it over and over again, I will miss it. I know its going to hurt, not being able to share that special occasion with her but I have faith that God will help me through the time just like the other times when I think how can I do this without a mom by my side. Thankfully, I have a wonderful husband and family that will be right by my side to share this birth of our son!

Today was my baby shower for Jett! We had a great outcome of people at my house and it was overly crowded but I'm so thankful for all that came and for the many gifts I received! I haven't had a chance yet to sit down and look through everything, so tomorrow that's what I will be doing! I know I got like 4 or so of the same line of this monkey stuff at target...lol so some of it will have to go back to target.

The girls are doing great! Tball season has started back up for the spring, so we just added that back into our busy schedule. Ash loves playing ball so its worth it! Anna will be playing in fall if we choose to let her...she loves to get out there and practice with her sister but I'm not quite sure I'm ready to have 2 children playing sports, but how can you let one and not the other. But maybe we will wait till next spring. Who knows...like we don't already have enough going on in our lives... Ashlee has kindergarten enrollment coming up the first week of April. We are so excited to get her enrolled and started in her new school. We are in Deer Creek school district which happens to be the #1 academic school district in Oklahoma. that was a big plus to buying our new home!

Ok, I think that's enough of my ramblings for right now......I'm guessing my next blog will be started with a picture of baby Jett........who knows I might actually blog more often but I wouldn't count on it!
Until a month or maybe 2, Hope everyone is doing great!
Whitnee

A Month Later..

Things have changed in our lives! About a week ago, we accepted a contract on our house! We are SUPER excited to sell our home and move to Edmond! It has been a long time coming and so glad its finally going to be here next month! I knew if I waited on God's perfect timing, it would eventually happen and it did! Our house was on the market for about 3 1/2 months, which isn't that long in today's economy but it felt like forever. Our scheduled closing date is Febuary 25!

This last weekend, we spent the ENTIRE weekend looking for homes in Edmond. After looking at numerous homes in weekend in a certain price range, I wasn't satisfied at all and didn't want to settle for something and be unhappy for the next several years. Thankfully, I didn't! We decided to move up to another price range and after looking at just a few houses I found this one...


I loved it from the minute I walked in the door, well actually I loved it when we pulled in the drive! So, after looking at it and then one more we decided that was the home we wanted. We both prayed about it and felt peace that this was the home we wanted and would be satisfied with for several years. So, the next day, we made an offer. We found out today that they accepted our offer and its OURS pending all the financing and such! We are thrilled and can't wait to move! We are scheduled to do back to back closing on the 25th! Please pray everything works out smoothly with the close of our current home and the new one!

Our baby boy will be here in less than 3 short months already! I can't believe this pregnancy has gone by so quick. I am doing really good and trying to enjoy this last part of my last pregnancy. We also just purchased the fabric for his OU crib bedding to be made! I can't wait to see it and begin working on his room, since now I know he will actually have a room. I was beginning to wonder for a while if he would be sharing one with mommy and daddy...LOL! Anyway, the girls are doing great!
Please keep us in your prayers as we make this adjustment and that all goes well!
Until next month....LOL I really wish I would take the time to update more often. Maybe one day...

Christmas is here.......

Well, so much for staying current with my blog...LOL! Its only been about 3 weeks, not too bad I guess.
I can't believe Christmas is almost here. Its this WEEK. Holy Cow, where did December go to? Its definitely been a busy December for us. Lots of shopping, Christmas parties, Matthew West concert :) birthdays, aunt visiting, basketball game, and the list could go on.

An update on our house, we are putting new carpet and laminate flooring in next week :) We are hoping this will help sell it! We have only had one showing this entire month and that was yesterday, the lady liked it but isn't preapproved so it may have potential! My patience has got a little better, but I'm still ready to be out of here, one of these days I know it will happen!

This week is going to be an extremely busy week for us. We have to fit in so many Christmas gatherings that it is going to be hectic but it will be fun! Christmas eve morning, we will spend with my sister and kids making cookies for Santa. Christmas eve afternoon and some of evening we will spend time with Mikel's parents and then go back to my dad's to celebrate with them that evening a little as well. We plan on spending the night at Twin lakes with my sister's family, and of course my dad and Ladonna are right next door. For the last several years, my sister and I and our families have stayed together on Christmas eve allowing the kids to wake up together in their matching jammies to open all the gifts! Its fun! Christmas afternoon we will then go to my aunt and uncles for lunch, THEN that evening we will head to Missouri to spend the weekend at Mikel's grandparents and the rest of the family in Missouri! All in all, its going to be fun! Oh yeah, we have one more celebration we have not yet worked out a time for yet. I have to say its the toughest, because its with my brother and his son and my sister, which is when we used to celebrate Christmas with my mom. My brother and I have different dads if your wondering why its a different gathering. This will be my 3rd Christmas without my mom and its not any easier than the last 2 years. It still hurts when I'm doing my Christmas gift checklist to make sure I have bought for everyone and my mom's name isn't on here. Instead, all I can do is take Christmas flowers to her grave. Its the little things that bring you to tears and makes me wonder why its that way. When my oldest daughter says Mom, I miss Granny and I have to hold back the tears in front of my daughter. Pray for me and my siblings during Christmas for I know its tough for them too.

Today, I bought the first little shirt and blanket for my baby boy! Its BLUE! I'm still in shock that I'm actually having a boy! Although, I am very excited to be having a BOY, pink is just much more cuter. I guess because that's all I'm used too. LOL The girls were excited to look for their little brother something when we were shopping this morning! Anna really had no clue but she was picking up blue stuff. She would say "for brother" It was cute! I can't believe I am already over half way done with this pregnancy. I am trying to enjoy it and take it all in because this is it. I just recently starting feeling him vividly, which I love the feeling. No one else has felt him just yet, but it won't be too long.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Waiting on God's perfect timing....

These last few days I have found myself to be really struggling with waiting on God's perfect timing. Thus causing me to be stressed and depressed because our house isn't selling when I want it too. I feel like God is trying to teach me patience and to wait on his timing and not my own. It is proving to be SO difficult for me right now. I want to be moved where I can be close to my friends, close to church, feel like I'm in a more secure area, be able to start on my baby boy's room, Ashlee to be able to go to school that she loves very much, and I could go on and on. I'm very eager to get moved and I want it NOW, so pray for me that God will help me through this time.

Other than that, not much else is going on. I am letting this house situation steal my joy. I wish I could just put it aside and go on and wait for God's timing. We did put up our Christmas tree on Monday after my doctor's appt which I weighed and I had lost one more pound! A total of -3 pounds since pre-pregnancy weight :) The girls had a great time putting the ornaments on the tree and putting up some of the decorations. Speaking of decorations, I pulled out our stockings and the white beads on them had yellowed. :( so no stockings this year which is OK because i have to by all new ones next year because we will have our little baby boy and I have to have them all matching.

Since my sister moved to Perkins about a month ago, I stopped baby sitting my niece and nephew meaning no extra money for me. Therefore, I HAVE to stay at home more to save on gas. I thought I would enjoy staying at home all the time with my girls, but I should have known better. I have always been the one "on the go" all the time. Heck, I used to take all 4 kids to target just to go somewhere. I think I was crazy. Any how, I miss watching my Jake and seeing both of them everyday. Although, I hated getting up early every morning to drive to Edmond, I truly miss doing it now. I would have liked to do it part time, that would have been perfect. But oh well, Jacob is making the adjustment to a daycare and I am trying to make the adjustment to staying home all the time.

OK, enough about all my problems because I guarantee I could go on and on with them and no one wants to read about this........lol! PRAY FOR ME AND OUR HOUSE PLEASE!!!
I will leave you with a few pictures of my girls!

Its a..

BOY! Yea! I am still shocked doesn't seem real that I am really going to have a little baby boy! The party was fun and I am glad I waited just a few hours. I was so nervous and when it was time, I didn't want to cut it and face the reality. Thankfully, it was a boy and that is what we both truely wanted. this baby will definitey be our last, so we are very thankful God choose to give us a baby boy!

Here are a few pictures thats to my friend that took them for me!

A quick little update!!

Today, I had my big 18 week ultrasound where they check everything. The ultrasound tech said everything looked great and the baby was being very cooperative! Which is a first for me, the girls were not very cooperative when I had my 18 week ultrasound. Ashlee would not move around or uncross her little legs. I remember them having me get up and jump up and down and all sorts. We had to leave the ultrasound not knowing what she was...I was very sad, esp. it being my first child. We ended up going to other place and we found out there, thankfully!

Well, today we didn't find out the sex of the baby right then. We had the tech put it in the envelope and we took it straight to Rae so she could make our gender cake that I am patiently waiting to cut into in the next few hours!

My sister is having us a little gender party at a restaurant and then for dessert, we will either have pink or blue cake!

Mikel and I are pretty much convinced its another little girl. We shall find out soon........
I will post later with the results! Wish us luck!

Operation Christmas Child

Our sunday school class decided this year to participate in Operation Christmas Child! Its a great program and I was excited when I found out we were particapating as s.s class! I had previously heard about it, so was grateful we choose to do it!

If you don't know what it is, its an organization through Samaritan's Purse. You fill an empty shoe box with items for a child in need and they will deliver them to children in poverty in different countries. Very cool! If you get a chance take a look at website....http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/index/

This week I took the girls to fill the shoe box we filled! I explained to both of them what we were doing. Ashlee understood to an extent and Anna had no clue. She thought we were buying all the stuff for her...lol. It was very sweet watching Ashlee pick out what she wanted to send to the little girl. She didn't quite understand why we had to send it to her and we couldn't just take it to her...oh how I wish one day we would be able to go to a foreign country to work with children less fortunate.

Our Sunday school class had a packing party fellowship tonight. It was lots of fun! The kids got to decorate the shoe boxes before they are delivered to the drop off site. When you choose to do a shoe box, they ask for a small donation for shipping and other expenses. If you are able to do the donation online, they will send you an email and you can track where your shoe box goes! I thought that was pretty neat! So, one day we will know where are shoe box was delivered!

I enjoyed this experience and hopefully taught Ashlee a little bit about giving! I am so excited for this Christmas! I was inspired by a song named "Give this Christmas Away" by Matthew West (of course!) LOL! But it really does have a good message and it will encourage your heart to give something this Christmas instead of focusing on receiving. It has encouraged me to ask myself what I can give to others than just to my family and friends......maybe just prayers or something else, I don't know. What will you give away this Christmas?

Busy, But fun day!

Whoa, today has been a busy but fun day!

We began our day by waking up late, which was so nice! :) We had plans to meet some friends at the zoo, so we geared up and headed out to the zoo! Which I didn't gear up to well, because my girls both wanted to wear dresses, so I let them but I walked out the door with no jackets and they had short shelves. Geez, what am I thinking, its November and no jacket? We had lots of fun as always and of course I enjoyed my taco salad! They have such good ones there!

By the time we were leaving Ash was begging for Caylea and Carolina to stay the night, so I gave into her begging but we had been planning on doing it soon anyway!

The girls had lots of fun playing together!

After they were laying down watching a movie, I began my wonderful school work! As you will see in the first picture!

I am going to try to stay updated with pictures and all on what is going on in our life. Maybe tomorrow I will do a catch up on our life in the last couple of months but until then, hope you enjoy the pictures!

Hello Friends!

So...Will I ever get in the hang of blogging? I don't know, but I want too!

Just thought I would let you guys know I am still here and I read your blogs all the time! Ok, I'm too tired to type tonight....lol that's my life...always too tired.

Hopefully, tomorrow I will update on what is going on in the life of the little hoggs, Mikel and I!

Until then, GOODNIGHT!

Big News...

Hi!
As most of you know, we are expecting our 3rd child in April of next year. It came by bit of a surprise, but we are excited about it! Its going to be hard, but I guess I will learn just like all the other mother's of 3 do. We are hoping for a boy, but I will be fine with another little girl. Poor daddy though, if he gets stuck with 3 girls. LOL. So that's the biggest news going on in our family right now!

Ashlee is going to Pre-K and I think she likes it. She fights me in the morning and tells me its boring, but I think that's only because she is not a morning person and doesn't want to be messed with when I'm trying to get her around. When I pick her up from school she is happy and says she had a good day, so who knows. On Fridays, they do "Friday cooking" and "show & tell" so she likes going to school on Fridays.
We just kicked off our fall ball season of softball last week. This league is a whole different story. Its actually softball with ALL girls! No parents go out on the field and they actually throw the ball to make outs. So, Ash isn't quite used to this yet, but she is learning and its a good thing she is on this team and this league because she is progressing and it seems as we are actually playing "ball". They even have parent score keepers. LOL

Anna, well not much is going on with her. She is talking more and more everyday. She thinks she has to do everything Ash does. She thinks she is just as big as Ash as well. Ash does it, so does Anna. I love my little girls!

Mikel and I are trying to prepare our house to sell. With us expecting another child, there really is no way we can stay in this 2 bedroom house anymore. 2 bedrooms and 3 children doesn't work very well. Its cluttered enough with just us 4, try adding another one. NO WAY. So, I am excited to move to Edmond finally! We live 90% of our life in Edmond, so this will help out so much. We just pray we can find something we can afford.

These last few weeks my heart has been heavy about missing my mom. I wanted so bad to be able to call her to tell her I'm pregnant, but I can't. Her birthday would have been tomorrow, I want to tell her Happy Birthday, but I cant. She was there with me during every moment when I gave birth to my 2 children, this birth she will not be there to help me through the labor and pain. I could go on and on... its not easy living life without a mom when your only 25 and trying to raise a family. anyways, pray for me.

Last weekend, Mikel and I got the opportunity to go to Dallas for the weekend without our kids. It was a nice time and I enjoyed spending time with my husband. Although, the Sooners lost, it was still a fun weekend.

Ok, that's enough rambling for now. I sure wish I had more time to blog. I feel like our life right now is so busy and by the end of the evening I am worn out and ready for bed.

Happy Weekend!

End of Summer has come...

Hi guys!
Its time for my once a month blog. LOL! I really want to try to blog more. I just need to put the time and effort into blogging! Well summer is pretty over, its been a good one! busy busy every weekend. I believe we had at least one event every weekend which kept us very busy. We spent some time at the lake, twin lakes, and many many birthday parties.

Ashlee begins K-4/Pre-k this coming Monday. She goes to meet her teacher on Friday and she is very excited about going to school! I can't believe I have a school age child already. We have been trying to get prepared for school to start by getting school supplies, school clothes, haircut, and etc.
Well, the haircut did not turn out exactly how I wanted it to turn out. We went in for just a trim, maybe 1 to 2 inches off and left with 4 to 5 inches off and it was a total mess. I had to call the manager and request a different stylist to fix Ash's hair. So, today we went in and the new stylist got her fixed up but another inch had to come off. It looks cute, but I wasn't prepared for Ash to have short hair :( OH well, I guess it will eventually grow back. By the way, I went to a very well known cute little child boutique to get it trying to avoid this very occurrence.

Along with school starting, we are also starting a new season of softball tball. I don't really know the difference, but I think her team will be mostly girls this season. Anyhow, we are very excited to start a new season. It just adds to our busy schedule!

As far as Anna goes, she is as ornery as ever. She is talking more and more each day. She loves her babies and plays babies constantly. Not much else going on with her.

Mikel and I just recently made a BIG commitment. We are now doing the youth at our church. We were previously teaching the High school Sunday school, but now we are doing it all. High school and JV both and for every services. We are excited about this opportunity God had gave us. We are looking forward to what God is going to do in our youth.

I am going to post a few pictures of my girls that I took last week!
Hope to blog again soon!
