The V's of Texas!

I am so blessed!

Matthew is 3 months!

Time seems to be picking up speed!

Soooo Precious.

The best taken care of baby =)

He smiles so much now. We love him so much.

He has got such a contagious smile!

"Hi everyone! I really want to see what this is all about!"

This is after the sing yesterday. Michael, Cameron and Jeremy with Eric's help built themselves a shelter and a warm fire and spent the night under the stars.

I don't think either Eric or I slept much, we kept checking on them to make sure everything stayed under control. Notice Michael in his green sleeping bag on the edge of the shelter.

Sometime in the early morning the dog decided that the back of the tent looked like a good place to curl up. She sat on Michael's head and almost collapsed their shelter. Dumb dog!=)

It felt like Newfoundland!

Well O.K. I have never been to the Artic Circle, I mean Newfoundland but...

it felt like it! =)

At least what I imagine NF feels like. LOL

Our kiddos had so much fun.

It was ice, so the kids actually could slide in their shoes.

This is before playing football in the snow.

Elyse was hilarious, her beenee kept falling over her eyes but,

she still was having fun going 1 mile per hour.

Matthew is so much fun!!!

Matthew gets so many kissess... sometimes I really have to tell the kids to "Give him space."

Even thou it is trying, I am glad it's this way and not the other way around. =)

I love this picture of the three. Especially Jeremy. He is pretty proud of Matthew.

Matthew has such a contagious smile. I love saying his name... Matthew.

Not Matt but, Mattew. =)

My Little Man

Here he comes! Today was his first day working for Homestead Cabinetry and Woodworks.

He has been wanting to have a job and we have allowed him to work as long as he can keep up with school too.

He is still so little. I'm not crying!

No need for words...sigh.....

Elyse's 5th birthday

Our birthday girl and her yearly roses from her daddy.

This year she got spoiled because she didn't just get her number in years in roses, this time she got a whole dozen!

Elyse makes me smile.

Her personality reminds us of the little mouse from "If you give a mouse a cookie"

She is a wonderful little girl and I am so thankful to the Lord for her.

I couldn't imagine life without her... especially with a house full of boys! =)

Beautiful...

I think everyone knows how much Elyse loves to chew gum...

She got at least 5 packets of gum!!!

She was very excited. I guess she has gum to last a lifetime!!! =) or at least till next week.=)

Girls' Tea Party at Kerry Roy's

Left to right...Marcail W., Anne H., Elyse, and Kerry.

Such perfect little girls!!!

Not!!!

I think I was 6 years old when I wore this dress.

I was a flower girl in my Uncle Victor and Aunt Margarita's wedding.

Jamye served them hot tea or hot chocolate with, pastries and quiches.

I think that the tea set was hers since she was 8 years old.

Very nicely decorated!!!

Made me wish I was a little girl again. =)

All the girls seemed to really enjoy themselves.
