My Boy

This is my first attempt at making my background blurry. Not so shabby!

Sweet, Summertime

Hello Summer. The Booksh's plan on making the best of you!

Guess Who

Honeybees

Baylee and her BFF(Shyanne) were able to dance with the NO Honeybees. I must say they went over and beyond to make this fun for all children and all ages. They spray painted their hair and had jumps for the kids. It was awesome. A good time was had by all.

After the dance clinic, we went to Coyote Blues. Our new favorite Mexican place. It is sooo good. All of the kids were great the entire night. I was a little scared of taking all three alone to an event like that but it was great and I am so glad we had this opportunity. Parker had a little virus come on while we were eating so we had to rush home!

Life as I know it..

with two boys!

Awards Night

I am so proud of Baylee and Braden. They both earned the Gold Scholar awards this year. They have to maintain a 3.75-4.0 GPA to receive this award. They have worked so hard. Esp Braden. Making good grades doesn't come as easy for him as it does for Baylee. He has grown so much. I am so proud of both of them.

Field Trip 2012

I was able to go on Braden's final field trip of the year. We had such a great time. I am rarely able to just spend time alone with him and I was so excited to go. We went and saw the movie Pirates and then played a little while at the theatre with his friends. After we went and ate at Chick-fil-e. He is such a cheap date. He gets that from his daddy. It was a great day and I am so glad I was able to spend it alone with him.

TIGER CUBS AND WOLVES OH MY!

Well, it is official, this boy is no longer a Tiger Cub. He has crossed over to a Wolve. He has so enjoyed cub scouts this year. He learned a lot and had fun at all of the events. I have also enjoyed watching him grow and become a great sportsman at all of the events and just have a great time. The adult had to go up and paint their face and give them their tiger cub stripes. It was so cute.

I am one proud, blessed, busy mammma!

Mother's Day 2012

This sista can't complain about her Mother's Day. It was AWESOME! My wonderful husband bought me this beautiful ring. I LOVE IT! I have not taken it off since then. If the ring was not enough- He had a date night planned for us. We went out to dinner at Copeland's and had some dessert. We walked the mall and finished the date at barnes and noble. Oh it was so fun to sit and read a magazine without being disturbed. I def think that my was favorite part of the day.

On Mother's Day we stayed at home most of the day and then went fishing. I love to fish so that made my day. We spent the evening at my moms house celebrating with her. I am so blessed!

"FIRE"

Baylee was in her school play "Fire" on tuesday and thursday this week. It was a great play and pointed out many great points. One that really stuck was that only 10% of people volunteer to help. I really wonder how that is possible sometimes. How can some people not see they are needed? How can some people know they are needed and not help? It is very hard to volunteer with three small children but Johnathon and I remain faithful to volunteering at church and I try to volunteer at school when I can be there to help.

Baylee was our little fire fighter. She did so AWESOME on the stage! I guess since she was still all geared up from recital she was in the groove. Her teacher Mrs. Easley did her make up for the play. I did some of it but she finished it. What are we going to do without Mrs. Easley next year. She has been such an amazing teacher for Baylee and has encouraged her so much. Oh I get so sad thinking about 3rd grade. Baylee's class is so close and they have grown to depend on each other and she has made some life long friends this year. tear tear. Moving on! Have a GREAT Mother's Day weekend!

Recital Day

Happy 6th year of dance to my sweet girl! We are so very proud of this girl. This year she took hip hop and it took a little while to get used to. She enjoyed it but it was def a lot faster than what she was used to. We were in the 6pm recital this year so it was a long day. Baylee and I went to the 1pm show to have KK ready for her dances. Everything went great and Miss Machita puts on the best performance-hands down. No one can even compare. She is and AMAZING women and I am so blessed to be able to send my daughter to her studio. Happy 40th Year Machita & CO!!!!

Hi, my name is Samantha and I let my 2 year old sit and watch movie after movie because it keeps him quiet and keeps me sane! Oh and yes I remember saying my children would not sit in front of the TV. Parker may get bed sores soon or chair sore should I say! That's all for now!

Twin Tuesday

I am so happy that Baylee has found a sweet friend and has been able to enjoy her 2nd grade year with Shyanne. I pray for her to always have close good girls to surround her. I hope she makes lifelong friends from Elm school on up. I still talk to my 2nd grade friends almost weekly. It's a blessing.

Saturday Fun

Saturday Morning we went and had breakfast at Frank's. Probably my favorite breakfast place and I had been asking for my main man to take me there. I took off Saturday for Jaylin's recital. After breakfast we took the kids to AgMagic. They had so much fun. They are at a good age to enjoy a lot of the things there. Of course the best part are all of the cute baby animals. The goats and lambs were soooo cute! After AgMagic Baylee and I dropped the boys off and rushed on to Jaylin's recital. She did a great job and we are very proud of her! We are gearing up this week for our dance recital. It is always a fun time for me as a mom. I always wanted to dance or cheer. Until next time:)
