Riding time

Here are Partrick and Josh, they were racing!!

My Bear Bear is 3!

I cannot believe today is Jareds 3rd birthday! Where has the time gone? I cant say its been easy, cause it hasn't but he has such a sweet face and gives the best kisses and hugs. He for sure is the last child and boy does he act like it! I love that he talks all the time and wants to do whatever his brothers are doing, even if its riding 4 wheelers! He makes me laugh and cry all at the same time. So Happy Birthday Jared Russell!! We love you!!

Catching Up

What a long couple of weeks! I dont even know where to start, so I will start with the most recent. Today Ali from the Biggest Loser is coming to Odessa to share her story. I am really looking forward to this. Joshua has had a fever for a couple days, but it finally went away last night and he is still fever free. I have had a head cold for a couple days. Friday I went home early and slept for 3 hours, then that night I went to bed at 10:30 while Don went over to his friends house, he let me sleep in until 10:15 am, I felt alot better, guess I just needed sleep. I've been doing alot of book fair stuff, the big book fair is tuesday, My Bear Bears birthday! The big 3! I cannot believe he is going to be 3! We've been doing some outside work to try and make our yard look nice. We are going to be starting to put new siding on our house, were going to start with the back first. Yesterday Don took the boys up riding, a friend of Parker and a friend of Patricks, so there were a load of boys up there riding around. They all had so much fun! I kept my windows open and cleaned, it was nice! This week it is suppose to hit the 80's outside! FINALLY!! We have another busy week. Joshua starts t-ball on tuesday, then my softball on wednesday, then t-ball on thursday, birthday party on friday, then of course the walk a thon sunday, always something! My mom leaves on wednesday, so we will have her dogs for 2 weeks, could be a long 2 weeks, or a fast 2 weeks =) We went over to the west side for a night visit, it was short, too short, next time will be longer. We had Easter, Joyces birthday and Jareds birthday, it was a nice visit, the boys did amazing in the van! Well I'm going to get ready to head up to the school to watch Ali, so Happy Sunday!

4 wheelers, races and gray hairs!

Patrick almost finished his race, he was so worn out! He did about 30 miles! We took everyone up to where they ride and put Josh on his 4 wheeler, I could not even get a goodbye out of him and he was out! He took a break when his hands hurt, then right back on! Andrew my nephew was on Parkers 4 wheeler and LOVED it! Ryan rode Dons dirt bike and scared everyone lol! We BBQ'd some steaks and ate lots of food. It was a really good day!

Crazy busy

Don followed Patrick the whole time!

Patrick did cut Joshuas head off but you get the jist!

So I just wanted to post some pictures of our week. Patrick and Don did amazing in the White Knuckle Race. Patrick got a trophy!! They were both so wiped out that they just fell asleep! Joshua got a 4 wheeler, well its not all his, its all the grandkids, he LOVES it! He zips by going as fast as we let him! The big race is tomorrow, Patrick is doing it, but not Don, they are doing the Family Poker run together. So just wanted to share some pics. Its been a long frustrating week, but I will leave that for another post!!
