40th Wedding Anniversary

Since I am so behind on blogging I have a lot of things I want to share from the past 3 months. On May 25th my parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. We all clebrated at my sister's house in Tyler. This is a picture of my parents with all 8 of their grandkids. Their ages range from 11 to 1 year. Congratulations Mom and Dad you have a lot to be proud of!

Just a Swingin

We had a pretty uneventful day. When Mary Claire got up from her afternoon nap we played outside in the water. I caught all 3 of them swinging at the same time so I snapped a picture. Maddie thinks since Flint doesn't wear a shirt when he swims she doesn't have to either. Kearby only works half a day tomorrow and he has Friday off for the 4th. We are headed to the lake Friday to spend the 4th with the Howards. I hope everyone has a great long weekend!

Mexico

This is the first summer in 3 summers that we chose to vacation instead of play baseball. Mike and Cassie (Kearby's dad and step-mom)took us to Mexico. We had a gorgeous villa on the beach with a pool. We were near the little town of Tulum, about 90 miles south of Cancun. All of us went except for Mary Claire and my mom and sister so graciously keep her for 5 nights (thanks guys). It was Maddie's first plane ride which did not phase her. For those of you who know Maddie understand. Kearby's step sister and her family also went with us and Maddie had a great time playing with her girls. Flint and Kearby did big boy stuff like swim with dolphins, snorkel and kayak. Thanks Mike and Cassie for a fabulous vacation!!!!!!!

Where have I been????????

Wow! I sure have taken the time to read all my favorite blogs but I have not updated in nearly 3 months. I am sure I have no readers at this point.

First and foremost yesterday was my baby girl's 1st birthday. This year literally has flown by. Kearby and I are having a hard time with her turning 1. Since she is our last we want her to stay a baby. She is so precious and has been such a joy. God went above and beyond when he sent Mary Claire to us. We had a little party for her this past weekend with all her little cousins. She weighs exactly 20 pounds and loves to dance, stick her tongue out like a lizard and wave bye-bye. Her favorite person in the entire world is Flint. She goes crazy when she sees him.

Cowboy Day

Flint had western day at school today. Isn't he the most handsome thing you have ever seen. He couldn't wait to go to school and tell everyone that his "Big D" is a real cowboy since he wears boots and Wranglers every single day :)

I am 9 months old

Mary Claire had her 9 month check on Tuesday. The doctor said she is perfect. She weighs 18 lbs 3 oz and is 28 3/4 inches. She is in the 35% for weight and 90 % for height. She did not have to get any shots this time but they did prick her finger for blood and she did not even move or blink when they did it. That's a big change for me after having 2 very dramatic children. She is pulling up, crawling, sitting up and waves bye-bye. She will also "pat cakes".What a joy. I am so thankful for my healthy children!

Spring Break and Easter

We had a wonderful Spring Break and Easter. On Wednesday we headed to Tyler to see Sassie and Mikey. We got to spend a lot of time with our cousins , my sister and my sister-in-law. On Friday we headed home to spend Easter weekend with all the Flint cousins.
