leading up to Christmas

I usually have a lot more Christmas spirit but this year I just didn't really get into it. I have no reason other than I just didn't really feel like it... lol. And I feel like every person in my life has more than everything they need and want, and what's fun buying people things they just think of because they have to think of something to tell you so you can spend money. I do have small children so I had to suck it up and try to make it magical for them. :)

Cayson's first time to see Santa and he had no tears!

Jaxi third time to see Santa and first time with no tears!

Preston first time to see Santa and he had no clue what was going on so he had no tears :)

Cayson and daddy decorating the tree. Miss Jaxxi was bossing us about where to put stuff on the tree telling everyone to be careful.

Daddy and Jaxxi at Rhema Bible College looking at lights.

They have a lighted tunnel that blinks to music Jaxxi loved it!

I love my kids and they are what made my Christmas season!

Boo HAHA

We went to Tulsa's annual Boo HAHA parade last Sunday! Jaxxi loves parades and getting all the candy :)

This was the only pic I got of mister Preston getting fed at his 1st Boo HAHA parade.

We are trying to teach Jaxxi to be a good parade watcher. LOL like to wave at everyone and smile :)

Pumpkin Patch number 2

This past weekend we went to Bixby, OK  to another pumpkin patch with my sister and my new baby nephew Preston! We had been planning it all October and didn't get to go until the last weekend it was open!

She's not so sure about the hay.

Jaxxi and Cayson with Nana

We were trying to get Nana with all her little grand kids but that didn't happen very easy!

Jaxxi was trying to comfort baby Preston!

My two cuties playing with a big pumpkin!

Cayson loved the pumpkins! and tried to eat the hay. :)

Our second trip was just as fun as our first. Our babies are growing so fast. There were so many years I wasn't sure I would ever have this. I'm so blessed and thankful for it all!

Mason Pumpkin Patch

A couple of weekends ago we went to a small pumpkin patch in Mason, OK. It wasn't planned, and Jaxxi had been playing all day so she's looking kinda rough :)

She thought the Pumpkins were neat!

This was the best I picture I got of the two of them.

We didn't actually get to do the corn maze... But hey we got a picture :)

My little pumpkin :)

Hay Jump

We met up with our older cousins and Katy helped Jaxxi through the junior maze.

Jaxxi learning how to milk a cow!

She was scared at first but then she realized it wouldn't bite. :)

They had these balls to do races on! They had a blast!

My Nephew Derrick helping baby girl jump really fast!

We got spend about an hour having fun and it was perfect fall weather! I can't get enough

Weekend!

This spring the weather has been so bizarre but I'm still glad it's spring time! That means we start back up with Play days! Jaxxi was so excited to get back in the arena!

Daddy helping her run the poles!

Waiting her turn on "Bell"

Miss Madison on her new horse "Run"

It was so cold we mostly just set out in the truck, but it was still fun to resume are Friday night activity.

On Saturday some of my family decided to help out a cause for foster care with a mile walk called "Walk a Mile in my shoes" I think I cried most of the morning to see my family not only support me and Shane in our journey to fostering and adopting, but also see them help kids out in a way that they can! I encourage you if you can't do anything Prayer is so needed in each of these children's lives!

Jaxxi and Madison trying to stay warm before the walk.

The crew :)

Some of the donated suit case!

Sunday we had a lazy day playing outside! Jaxxi tied up her "horse" and was feeding it :)

On Saturday we threw Jaxxi's second birthday party! It's hard to believe that she is already two! There are quite a few pics sorry in advance!

These are the invites I decided to use they are so cute!

Love that I can use all this in her room afterwards!
