Texas Cup

Abby decided she wanted to go shoot at the Texas Cup. Jackson and Grace wanted to go shoot also so the parents loaded up and headed to Texas.  We had a great time and all three kids shot great, and also had a great time. All three kids at the Texas boarder of course you have to get at picture with the sign.

Abby getting her First place belt buckle she shot her personal best at this tournament a 456. She was so proud of herself and the accomplishments. She has a new clicker and also an eye patch now when she shoots, and both things started about three weeks ago.

Part of the team that came down Jackson first place, Abby first place, Grace third place, our great coach Mrs. Kathleen, and her son Bryce first place.  Way to go TEAM!!

Here are the kids out side of Texas Archery Academy in Plano, by the arrow. Had to take a picture there of course.

Basketball

Abby is loving playing basketball. She is trying very hard to understand, and shoot a basket. She has had no luck in making a basket, but she is trying her hardest and that is all we can ask. I am so proud of her. I am so thankful for her Godly coaches she has they work with them on there memory verse, and also the love of the game.

Abby you are doing so good. Your dad and I are very proud of you!!

A Very Long Time

It has been a very long time since I have blogged lately. So here it is.

1. We lost the baby Sept. 23rd. I guess that is why I was feeling more like myself. We know that it was God's plan for us to get pregnant and for us to lose the baby. It was a hard couple of weeks here, but we are getting better.
2. October came and we had Halloween the kids had a great time I will post pics. soon.
3. November we had Abby's birthday at Great Wolf lodge, and then we went to the American Girl Store because that is what she wanted to do. I can not believe that she is 8 years old now.
4. December has been very good to us. Mike has gotten his contract and is going to sign it. We are getting very excited about all this about to be over.

So that has been our life in a nutshell I will post pics. soon.

Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!

Feeling like myself

I am so happy that I am starting to feel more like myself today. Mike has been moonlighting to make extra money, one because I have been off work, and two we are trying to save money for when the baby is born. Today Abby and I made some cookies, and I even cleaned the house which I have not done for two weeks, man will Mike be surprised when he gets home. Well I hope the worst is over and I can get back to my usual self.

Morning Sickness

I know when you get pregnant you have morning sickness, but this is for the birds. I have not been this sick with the other two kids. I do not know if it is my age or what, but I will be glad when this is over. Mike has helped out a lot and so has my mom which I am very thankful that they live close by to come and help. My mom has had to take the kids to school a couple of times, because Mike can not be late or miss a day or he has to make them up and that puts us leaving residency longer, and we really do not want that since we already owe two weeks. The great thing is that he now only has to take call two times a block instead of four which helps out a lot because he is here at night. I just keep praying everyday that it will get better and just go away. I need to take kids to school, fix lunches for them, clean house, do laundry, and oh yea get the baby's room ready. I hope this goes away soon.

Well I can not believe this!!

I have been saying for a long time that I was done having kids. Our family is prefect with the two kids that we have. Well I guess God has other ideas. He has decided to bless us with one more. I called our family to let them know. Well everyone I tell all they do is laugh at us, because I have always said that I do not want anymore kids. I also guess that we will have to change the name of our blog, because of the new little one coming. I am trying to get used to this idea of having a new baby.

Jacob is 5

Jacob it is hard to believe that you are five years old today. We are so lucky to have you in our lives. We thank God everyday for you. You are one funny little boy. What have you done over the past five years.

• We have moved from Virginia to Oklahoma.
• We lived with grandma and grandpa for two years and you shared a room with Abby.
• We went to Disney after your Daddy graduated Medical School. You got to see Mater, and you were so upset, because Lighting was not there.
• We bought a house in Harrah, Oklahoma and you have your own room now, you have shared a room with Abby for four years. That was very hard on you to have to sleep by yourself. Now that is the only place you want to sleep is in your own bed.
• You love doing sport things you have done gymnastics, swimming, and played t-ball, you said that next year you would like to try and play football, and soccer.
• You graduated from Pre-K and will be going into Kindergarten this year.
• You love going to movies the last movie you saw was Toy Story 3 and you loved it.

This year for your birthday we are going to the races, and then next weekend we are going on a train trip to Dallas. That is what you wanted instead of a party.

Jacob age one. Your second birthday at the church. We were going to have it at the park, but it rained it out so we had it at Grandma's church.

Your third birthday was at our new house.

Your fourth birthday was at the Harrah Pool. You had a great time with all your cousins and friends from church and t-ball.

Hope you have a great Birthday this year and can not wait for the Birthdays you will have for the rest of your live.

Love,

Mom, Dad, and Abby
