Toad Suck 2010

Despite the terrible weather this weekend we were able to make it to the Toad Suck festival. For those of you that don't know....that is the actual name of the event, I don't just call it that for fun!
My two of my best friends from high school were able to meet me and help with the kids.

Here is Caroline playing in the huge sand box. She had a great time. She got to eat cotton candy, snow cones, and corn dogs. For those of you who really know Caroline, you know that the food at a carnival would make her most happy!

Here is my friend Amelia. She is a great help with the kiddos!

This is the first time Kristen has held Graham. I think he liked her!

And finally.....me and my sweet baby boy!

It's Almost Lake Time!

This weekend we drove up the Choctaw area of Greer's Ferry Lake. It's only about 20 minutes from the farm. We wanted to check out the camping sites. Natalie was visiting so she came along too. We walked in the water, dug in the sand, and played on the playground. Caroline and Graham had a great time and we all are very excited to go camping soon!


Graham is checking out the sand. As long as he had his pacie in his mouth he didn't try to eat it!

Graham loves it when his daddy tickles him!

Family at the Farm

I am a little late on this post. A couple of weeks ago we had a get-together at the farm with some of the Bridges family. We had a nice lunch and let all the kiddos play while the adults got to visit and catch up. I didn't get a lot of pictures because I was busy with Graham. He decided to get stranger-anxiety and did not want to be put down.

This is Graham during the only time he was put down. I had to be right there.



These are my awesome cousins, Natalie and Matthew. They moved to Rogers last year. I miss them so much!

Here is Jason and Kohen.

Matthew, Shelley, and Natalie.

Caroline and her cousin, Maddie. They are both very girly. They have on their "princess dresses" and are playing with the Phelan's new pupppies.

Here is Caroline making brownies for dessert!

These last pictures don't fit with others but I wanted to add them. The kids play so well together! I can't believe how sweet Caroline can be to him.

Under the Table Again!

Graham has been rolling around for the last month or so. Now his scooting all the time....especially backwards. For some reason he likes to scoot underneath things. I always find him halfway under the couch. This morning he kept getting under this table-toy.




This picture is after his nap. I set him on the blanket for just a minute. When I came back he was under the table yet again!

Flowers and Veggies

Just a quick post. I am going to attempt to plant a garden this year. I have no idea what I am doing. I just know that my Grandaddy would be proud! I hope to have lots of yummy veggies but will settle for just getting a few this year. I really hope something grows! These pictures aren't of the garden but we are working on the front flower bed.....again I have no clue?!

Graham's Jumparoo

Caroline loved her jumparoo when was a baby. She would jump for hours! I loved it because I could actually cook supper or do laundry with interruptions! I hope Graham will be the same way. I picked this one up yesterday. It didn't take him any time to learn how to use it. I had it on the lowest setting but think I may have move it up a little bit. Graham is tall!

His favorite part is trying to bat at the birds hanging from the palm trees!

Zoo and Grill Outs!

Last week we went to the zoo with my cousin Stephanie and her little boy, Kohen. The kids had a great time. It was the perfect weather for a day outside. Below are some pictures of the kids.

Aren't the boys adorable in their hats?!

This is Kohen. Looks like he is having a good time!

The next night we all went to Stephie's new house to grill out with Stephie and Jason, Scott and Kristen, and Kohen. The kids played pretty hard and had a good time. We can't wait until the summer to play in the new pool with Kohen!
