So Busy...

I will cherish this picture for ever!!
Why is there red dirt everywhere, Mommy?!

Do I get paid for this?!

They really do love each other and I love them more than words can express!

I haven't had time to blog in so long...

Life is crazy busy as always...

Spring Break was a blast.

I took the kids to Oklahoma to visit some incredible friends! Most of you know that OK is where my heart lies and this time was even harder to come home. I'm pretty sure most of my family knows I would move back in a heartbeat but I would never take the kids away from Justin or the family. Anyway, the weather was cool on most days, so shorts and flip flops shouldn't have been packed. Oh well... I always overpack! We did lots of things. First... my kids are amazing travelers in the car. We only stopped twice on the way there and our first leg ended in Miami! Thank you to Brandon and Mindy for letting us stay with you and for having a cook-out. It was great to see everyone! Next was a short stop in Tulsa to see Miss Jessi Faye. We took the kids to Incredible Pizza for the afternoon. Haley hit the jackpot on a slot machine and won first place with Jessi racing go-carts. Drew played skiball and putt-putt. He had a gallery watching him hit hole in one after hole in one! We then drove to Hinton where we stayed with the Burns' family. I met Roy and Melena 10 years ago thru their son Josh. We've stayed so close. They hadn't seen Haley since Justin and my wedding and had never met Drew. Can we stay spoiled?!?! They treat me like a daughter and spoiled the kids like their grandchildren. Melena took all week off work to hang out with us. Trips to the zoo, shopping, the Science Museum and so much more. Roy also bought the kids toys!! Drew loved seeing all the dozers and equipment at some of the job sites. I can't express how much I love this family. I'm heading back out there on Memorial weekend and then JW will be here for my grandma's wedding in June.

Grandma's wedding is another crazy story, but I'm happy for her. I have so much to blog about and can't even think right now...

Haley is tumbling with Kenzie Jayde and loves it! Drew is playing baseball for the first time. We also just signed him up for Kindergarten. I can't believe my kiddos are now 7 & 5... that just makes me closer to 30! Yep... less than 5 months away!! I'm still on track to be in the best shape of my life!! I'm proud of myself for sticking to this!!

Job Interview went great... should know something in the next couple of weeks!! Looked at a house... wasn't meant to be! I think I was set on the location more than the house. We are going to keep looking and by "WE"... I mean the kids and me! Just to clarify before I get a phone call!

What else... all this rain stinks!! A little would have been just fine, but I'm ready to help dad in the field some more!! Cody: "I wish every girl could drive a tractor like you!" He made me smile. I love being a farmer's daughter!

Just so everyone knows... As soon as I can... I'm going back to Musselman! I hate it for the kids, but I talked to them a lot about it. No part of me wants to keep Lowder. I've thought about hyphenating, leaving it alone, dropping it, making Musselman my middle name, etc... and I'm changing it! It's best for me!

Above are a few pictures from Oklahoma! Enjoy!

I love my kids!!
