Guess What???

Well I would really like to tell you but I think she says it better. Click on the link and see what is going on over at the McDonald's blog!

The weather has been great latley - we have been able to get outside a little and even play in the water some. Here are some pictures of the boys with our friends Rosa and Logan. They were having a good time playing.

Here are some pictures from the Ball Park. Karl plays on a John Deere team and Braxton LOVES to go and watch. He like to talk to Karl the whole way through and then run the bases at the end. I think I am going to have a sports kid on my hands. Enjoy!

Forgot One

For some reason this one took a little while to get loaded. I do realize it is a little long but they are just so cute - not personal opinion at all!!
Here is a video of the boys. Enjoy!

Been a while

Here are some videos of the boys from the last week or so. It has been nice here so we can get outside everyday (that is a lovely thing). They boys are still running like crazy. One thing is for sure - there is never a dull moment around here. Hope you enjoy!

Brazos loves LOVES loves bubbles. So for his birthday we got him a bubble machine. When I turn it on he chases the bubbles. Here is video of him going!!


Here is a video of the boys one morning before breakfast. Brazos was really laughing at Braxton before I got the camera out. But here it is anyway. They really like to be outside.



This last one is a video of Braxton leading a song in Bible class on Wednesday night. My batteries went out early on, but it is still real cute so here you go anyway.

Mother's Day

I so wanted to have this really great post ready and I did not get it done. I wanted to tell you all about how wonderful my mom is and what she means to me. I wanted to have all these cool pictures and such but I did not get it done. So here I sit wanting to tell you so much and I just don't have the words to say so.

Mom, thanks for all your love and support. Thanks for showing us how to live as good Christian women. For being the example of what a mom should be. Thanks for always putting God first, Dad second and us later. I am glad that you set the example of what a marriage should be and how to live. Thanks for showing us how to love unconditionally. You are such a wonderful woman and friend. Thanks for everything.

To my mother in law. Thanks for the example that you have set for us. For the way you raised your son and they way you taught him to love God. I am so thankful for the value that you put on God and on family. I hope that I can raise my family to be strong and know the value of examples.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there - I hope you all enjoyed your day!

Playing together, Blue Ice Cream and Working with Dad

First let me say that Kanyon had surgery today and it went well. Praise God for that. He is still in Dallas and will be there for a little while. You can keep up with him and add your name to the prayer list on their blog.

Braxton and Brazos have been playing together really well lately. Here are some pictures of them and the fun!

Prayers Needed

Kanyon is having a rough time right now. Please pray for hims little body and his parents as they deal with this. You can keep up with them on their blog.
Thanks for all the prayers that have been offered so far, they are appreciated. Please take time in the next couple of days and say some special prayers for Kanyon.
Thanks!

ELMO anyone?

Well Saturday we had our official birthday party for Brazos. We invited all of his friends from church and it was a lot of fun. We had planned to have it at the house but with the rain we moved everything to the church building so that we would have plenty of room.

Brazos had a lot of fun and really enjoyed digging into the cake. Here are some pictures from the fun day.

Cake anyone?

I made two personal cakes just in case some small fingers got into the cake before we actually had the party.
Here is the other personal cake.
Another view.
Then the cake for everyone - ELMO!

Here are some pictures from the party.
The Peter girls.
All the kids - can you see Brazos in the middle.

Here is a video of Brazos eating his cake.

Happy Birthday Little One

I am just amazed at how fast the last year has gone. My little boy is a year old today. He is growing so fast!! Here are some pictures of the birthday boy (thought you might enjoy some video as well)

Here is a year in review - Just look at where we were a year ago. My how time flies

Zoo

We went to the zoo today. We have had some really nice weather the last couple of days, so we took advantage today and took a trip across town to the zoo. The boys did real well. We had a really good time with Rosa and Logan as well. Here are a couple of pictures of our trip. I will try to post more in the next couple of days.

As requested

So I know that some of you are going to get tired of the videos but the grandparents really seem to be enjoying them. Braxton also likes to watch himself on the computer over and over again. His favorite blogs to check are the ones with videos. He likes to watch them and then say - play that again mommy. Too cute.

The boys are really getting bigger. In these videos you can see some progression. Brazos is crawling all over the yard in one and walking in the next and they were taken about 4 days apart. He is finally decided that walking will be okay with him. He is really trying to scoot now. But when he needs to get away from big brother fast he drops and crawls as fast as he can.

Enjoy!! I am going to put some new pictures out later as well. Might be today and then again it might be tomorrow.

Back in Business

My new computer arrived on Monday and I have trying to catch up ever since. I am so thankful to have a new computer and I am learing all about Windows Vista. Thanks Andy for making sure everything is okay and that I can not destroy this one. We did buy the 3 year - spill proof warrenty on this one.

I do need some e-mail address from you. I had them all saved in my outlook and I can not get them back. I did get some of my inofrmation off the other computer (like my pictures) yea. But not my addresses. Please e-mail me at lyneil@aggienetwork.com and let me know what your e-mail is.

Also, I know you are tired about hearing about all my stuff, but Tupperware is having some really good sales this week. They end on Friday. If you are interested let me know and I will send you an e-mail with an attachment of all the specials.

Have a great day and I will post some pictures later.

Wanna Know What I did This Weekend?

Well, let me tell you. Women of Faith came to Des Moines and I (we) went. Lisa, Andrea and I went to a very uplifting WOF confrenece. I have heard a lot about it and have never been able to go, but after this weekend I will try not to miss another. It was so wonderful to see so many ladies gathered in one place with one thing on thier mind and that was to worship God.

The speakers were INCREDIBLE!!! They did a tremendous job. I am still playing some of the words, songs, and expressions over and over in my mind. It was great to spend time with my sister in Christ and to be uplifted at the same time.

I know that the confrence is headed your way over the next few months. Let me ecourage you to go and see how awesome it is to see 12,000 women gethered together to praise God.

Some of my favirties from the weekned were, Anita Renfroe, Nicole C Mullens, Shelia Walsh, and Patsy Clairmont. I will not tell you much other than that because some of you will be able to go and experience this for yourself and I do not want to spoil it for you. But it was amazing!!

The theme this year is Amazing Freedom and I will tell you that it is so wonderful to hear all the ways that we can be free. Free from sin, free from guilt, and free form ourselves. If you can I want to encourage you to attend you will be glad you did.

Happy Birthday Cheryl

I really hope this works. Braxton wanted to tell Aunt Cheryl Happy Birthday. Have a great day.

Easter Pictures

Here are some pictures I took of the boys at Easter. These were taken at the egg hunt at church. It was a very chili afternoon. It did not get above 40 that day. We had over 1,000 eggs for about 20 kids, needless to say they all made a hall. They boys did well and really had a great time.

I have more pictures of Easter morning and them opening their Easter Baskets but they are on Andrea's camera so I will have to post them later.

My new computer should be here next week. I am really excited to get a computer upstairs again. One good note is that the geek squad were able to get all of my pictures and files off of the other computer!!! Saved by the geek squad!!

I will try to post more pictures soon.
By the way if you have not seen the videos yet, take a look. I was so proud to figure it out. I hope to have more of those to post soon. I think the grandparents might enjoy them.

Braxton finding eggs

Are you ready to hunt eggs?

Braxton wanted to hunt with the big kids even though we had a separate place set up for the little ones. So we let him. He is such a big boy.

Pictures

We finally have had some good weather where we could get outside and play. Here are some random pictures of the boys playing outside yesterday. They have really enjoyed being about to get out. I have enjoyed it as well. I like that they can run out there and not tear anything up. Enjoy! More to come.
