Happy Birthday Megan!

Waiting on our first Baby... It's a girl!! Peyton Mae 1st Birthday 2nd Birthday 3rd Birthday 4th Birthday Happy 5th Birthday Peyton Mae! I Love You!

Our trip to Oklahoma and Kansas was Great. We had a fabulous time visiting Katie and Jeromy and seeing everyone at the Redneck Bash. I have tons of pictures from our trip and have decided to start with the random ones... Random thoughts about Oklahoma... The Formal Gardens at OSU. Pretty special place to me... Matt proposed to me on the left circle flower bed. At least I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I don't remember anything he said... These signs annoy me. They are before every bridge in the state. Common Sense? I would think so. Katie says no, not around here. Oklahoma can be slightly backwards. I guess this place isn't in Oklahoma. It's Sandstone Gardens in Joplin, MO. But I remember when they built it. I think it is so beautiful. I pass it twice every time we go to Oklahoma. Some day I will stop and check it out. Oklahoma really is pretty. Check out the sky. I think this is a gorgeous picture... Just saying... Katie and Jeromy live at the end of this ...

It's hard to believe that just a few short months ago, we were in Mexico. I want to go back. I wish someone else would get married there. It was so fun... Anyway... We are celebrating Katie and Jeromy's wedding this weekend! With a Redneck Wedding Bash! Can't wait to post pictures of the girls in their outfits. Think beer and camo! I do. Mr. and Mrs. Jones!! Me, Katie and Shannon Me and Matt Katie and Jeromy

For the next 9 days... We will be Fishing... Swimming... Laughing... Playing with the Pups... Playing in the Sprinkler... Celebrating Birthdays... Jeromy's is the 19th... Happy Birthday Jeromy Jerm! Hanging out with Jeromy and Katie... Being Silly... Having a photo shoot on Campus... Got to the the annual "spot where Daddy Proposed to Mommy" shot... They should be worn out by the time we head home... I bet they will be!! Now, you can really be jealous!!

We are going to Kansas!! We are playing with Emmy, Hunter and Hayden right now!! Be Jealous! Our visit last year... Hayden was just a tiny babe... Now she's 1!! All the kids together. I will try for a better picture this year! We needed shade for the babe! So excited to be visiting! Too bad Marc is missing all the fun...

I sure am glad Goober graduated from college. Now the Hinds clan is going to the Cards game tomorrow!! Happy Graduation Goober! We got all inclusive tickets! All the nachos we can eat. All the beer we can drink...I wonder if they cut people off at ball games. I think Matt and Tyler may try to find out. It should be pretty fun!!!! But maybe the best part will be that we get air conditioning if we want it. HOORAY! Our last trip to the ball park. This was Kalee's first Cards Game! Aunt Stacey went with us!!

I am obsessed. These are the greatest cookies of all time. Now available all the time!!! Keebler COCONUT DREAMS! EXACTLY, EXACTLY like Girl Scout cookies...Samoas, or caramel delights, whatever they are calling them these days. I am addicted, and it's so great. I need to stay out of the cookie aisle.

I have been VERY busy trying to get ready to leave town for 10 days... So I am going to do a catch-all randomness here. Some more pictures from the Mouse House. Lily is a little water bug. She was cracking me up. I guess she likes the taste of salt water, cuz her tongue was out the whole time. She just floated around the pool happily all day. When she wanted to get somewhere she just kicked her little legs and was off. I think she might like the water. I think... Ava has the cutest swim suit. She wanted a yellow one and Nan found this one. I love the TUTU! Also...FYI...these life vest things are THE GREATEST! They are simply amazing for the kids. They don't let them fall forwards into the water.  Seriously, if you are looking for something for swimming, get one!! See them at Target here   Peyton just relaxing. She was jumping in the pool all by herself by the time we left. OH...she also swam to me in the shallow end all by herself!!! No life vest. No touching (cuz she couldn'...
