family updates....

It has been brought to my attention that it looks as though I am just a little bias with my posting...

And I'll admit it is sometimes easy to get wrapped up in the one the is under foot 24/7, but I do have current pictures of our beautiful daughters, so let me share them with you now.

Cassie graduated from Bastrop High School on May 8, 2009! She is now looking forward to future and whatever that might hold.

The proud dad with our baby girl!




Sydney completed the 7th grade this year and is growing up before our eye also. She did a great job in her classes. But I know she is SO glad that school is over for the summer. She is at this moment in Sparkman with Grandmother and Grandaddy. She told me the other day that she has been waiting months for summer to get here so she could go and spend time with them. She doesn't get to see them as much as she would like, even though it's only a 2 hour drive, we seem to stay pretty busy most week-ends.

Paul went to Bastrop and took pictures of Cassie before her prom, Sydney rode with him, so he was able to snap one of the two of them. (being bias again) Aren't them beautiful?! I think so, and they take pretty good pictures.

Paul and I are the same as always, never enough hours in the days, but thankful that we have the day to try and the health to give it a shot. God has blessed us with 3 amazing children, each unique in his/her own way.

Puppy love.....

Every once in awhile I let Jasper bring Patches with to run quick errands, we are waiting in line at Baker's at this time. Jasper had to take Patches' picture too, poor patches....she is so good with him; just wiggled out with him sticking the camera in her face the whole way! She is a good natured puppy, he wags her around alot! And for the most part she takes it. Of course she likes riding in the car seat too, she gets to lick all over him and there is not much either of us can do. I yell, no alot, and Jasper giggles.....it is never boring around our house. Patches has fast become a part of the family, of course I learned real fast that it was alot like a new baby in the house again! But this last week has gone better, she has let me sleep until 3 am and even 5 am! For all those that believe that every boy should have a puppy, I have a few words of advise! First, fore worn the mom if it's her first in a long time! And remember, little boys are HARD on everything, including animals! Other than that, it has even been fun at times! They play and run and are starting to get along better every day. Now, if I could just convince them both to potty train....small steps, right?

Easter weekend

riding in the firetruck at fun day at Mt Olive. He enjoyed it, but rode the whole time with his hands over his ears!

Hope everyone had a great Easter and enjoyed the family and egg hunts! I took Jasper to Mt Olive for their children's day on the Saturday before, he was not overly interested in the games but liked the duck pond. When it came time to hunt eggs, he went with all the kids, but put the eggs in others baskets, go figure, guess so he could play on the slides faster if he didn't have to keep up with eggs?

The picture of all 3 of us is after church, Jasper is not to thrilled to have to sit still, just wants to change and eat! The girls came to Sparkman after we were out of our dress up clothes. Of course I thought Jasper was THE most handsome man around.
