Catchin up:-)

It had been a while so let me catch up.

Blake is one.. Can you believe it? I know this year has just flown by.  I can't believe that just last year on Feb. 5 We brought our sweet baby girl home, but although we were so excited we lost  a very special person the very Day we came home.  Grandma had been down for quit some time and on Feb. 5 around 10:00 a.m.  God called her home to be with him. Gosh, as a young child I remember sitting and rocking with her and listening to her sing sweet sweet tunes, she sure did one thing and that was teach us how to pray.  I remember her telling how she prayed for a blind cat and God healed the cat and restored all sight.. Is that not amazing it just takes faith and we are capable of the same things.  Amazing how God has brought this to my mind.  Well back to Blakeleigh for a moment:) We went for Blakeleigh's one year check up and Dr. Brannon there was a problem. A Problem? I have noticed any she was just perfect in my eyes, although not as quick as Kennleigh to walk, that was ok becasue they were two very unique little angels that God has placed in my care.  I am so proud of these two little angels words just can't describe my excitement for them calling me mama.  Dr. Brannon said that there was something wrong with Blakeleigh's Legs she was unsure if it be bone or muscle but she was definetly positive something was not right.. So what did I do, YOU GUESSED IT CRIED, AND CRIED SOME MORE. Dr. Brannon even had water in her eyes.   Kennleigh my sweet little girl threw her arms around me and said its okay Mama, God has you in his hands.  He will take care of you. Please don't cry..  Okay Okay, My three year old is stronger than me.. I was like ok Leigh, put your big girl panties on we can do this with God leading and Kennleigh helping me with her laughter and jokes.  We went to our appointment in Birmingham they agreed no braces for now, but come back in June.  I am here to tell you today tht Tissy is on the move.. Praise the Lord for his marvelous work. 

My first Birthday Party
We had such a fun filled weekend for Blakeleigh's birthday.  We went with the cousins to burger king on Thursday night, and then on Friday just a fun day playing around the house.  THe big day was Saturday we had her party at 5:00 P.M. and served Chicken, sugar free cake, birthday cake, fruit, fruit dip,and chips.  We had a great time at her party with all of her family and friends.  Again I say thank you to the ones who cam to Blakeleigh's Birthday.  After her party we left and went and took Blakeleigh and Kennleigh to the Rodeo to watch Bailey.  The girls love to watch Bailey bug compete:-)

March

The first weekend in March we signed Kennleigh up for her very first Horseshow. Thanks to Bailey, Aunt Stacey, and Uncle Junior they have got Kennleigh Back in the saddle.  After a fall the week after Blakeleigh was born Kennleigh fell off of spook and broke her arm.  It was pitiful, but she handled it well!  Now I am proud to say she has not let fear get her down. She climbed on Chief and her and Bailey ran Barrels, Poless, and Arena Race.  They got first place on the arena race:) This made me so happy to see the smiles on the Kennleigh's face.  Kennleigh is still practicing hard and she will be competing again this weekend..

Last weekend we colored Easter Eggs with Lexie and Breanna all the children had a blast.  They learned that if you mix colors it makes unique colors.  They could not get over how the warm water was changing colors.  They played extremly hard and had a great time dying eggs.

Phenix/ Georgia Trip
I am taking a class at phenix city and me and shane had to leave the girls with mom and mrs. Cathy for the weekend.  We got back Sunday afternoon, but it was a challenge being away from my girls that long.  I enjoy watching them grow and play everyday, and you don't realize how much you miss the late night talks, the bed time stories, watching second chances 1,000 times with Kennleigh.  It was a great weekend of learning though and it did give me and shane a few minutes to sit and eat dinner together without having to talk over the kids.  I love and enjoy the girls and it is great for parents to be able to spend time as well.  This was a great weekend for us to spend quality time. We even went over to Georgia and did some sight seeing and it was just a nice getaway.

I have enjoyed the last couple of days that Jonathan has come home to play until his mom Got off work.  I could just eat him up he is so adorable.  I know I may be his only aunt, but I hav to be the favorite!! Right? O yea sure he loves to come play on the cars and play with the blocks with Tissy.  He has nicknamed Blakeleigh (Tissy) I think it is so sweet.. I love when he comes to the house and grabs a book and says read EEE read.  Love it its priceless:) I may not have a little boy of my own but I have told Ash and She agree we must love each others babies like there ours.. It works perfect..  I have so many babies not bilogical only two of those but I love all of my neices and nephews as if they were my very own.  Aunt Leigh loves you Jon JOn, Lex, and Bre, :)
