Playing Catch Up

2010-02-17T23:13:00.011-05:00

I dont know if it is normal or not to feel like we are always playing catch up. It is now the middle of February and I haven't even posted any Christmas, Justin's 9th B-day, snow days. It just keeps piling up. Everyone says when they all get in school there will be plenty of time to get caught up, I dont know if I agree w/ that. Once they all get in school they will all be old enough to participate in school activities and sports. Busy days coming soon. Here are a few pictures of playing catch up. Jaelynn picked out her outfit for her Valentine party.
Take my picture mommy! Poor girl look at her feet nothing but Monster trucks. She doesn't have a chance. She is excited for her new girly room she is getting at the new house.
Are we done yet.

Cutie pie. Too bad she didn't smile, she is toothless. 2 on top 2 on bottom.

Morgan Shad. His little hands were freezing. He got up and had a blast.

Justin turned 9 on Jan. 17th. He had a party with family and friends at Gattitown. What a wonderful young man. His cousins came down from IL and had a sleepover. Happy Birthday baby boy!
MONSTER JAM LUCAS OIL STADIUM JAN. 30
So the story behind why we went to Indy for Monster Jam goes. We watch monster jam @6am and 4pm almost everyday on TV. My kids love it. Sawyer especially. He has like 50 monster jam trucks. He can name the drivers and all the trucks names. He wanted to go watch them live, so me and a friend took our kids to Monster Jam in Evansville. Very disappointing. Not a good show at all. Granted my kids watch it on TV so to see the show in Evansville they were sad. So I get online and seethat they are coming to Indy. Scott was coming in that weekend anyway so we arranged to have Morgan and Mason taken care of and off we went. It was a blast and a much better show.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAWYER

2009-11-18T11:39:00.007-05:00

SAWYER IS 4

What an amazing kid this little man is. His eyes truly brighten my day. He dazzles when he smiles and has the truest heart. Sawyer is content most of the time and can entertain himself, unlike some of his siblings he enjoys alone time. Dont underestimate him though he still has the Wall-Mason temper. It comes when you least expect it with this little guy. We love you Sawyer and are enjoying watching your little life everyday. Happy 4th Birthday November 4, 2005.When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday he said he wanted to go to the zoo. So off to the Evansville zoo. It was a perfect Saturday in November with temps up to 70. Scott had to work so Memaw and Pappy Mason went along with us. It was a great day and Sawyer had a wonderful time.

Sawyer wanted cupcakes for his birthday, blew out his candle and asked for ice cream. He is not to thrilled about cake and cupcakes. Ice cream it was.
For 2 months Sawyer came into our room after being tucked in for the night and told us he wanted the side to side dump truck for his birthday. He seen Rocky the singing and dancing dump truck on a commercial back in September and every since has been asking every night for it. Here you go buddy have fun.
Happy birthday Sawyer. Jaelynn, Sawyer and Sadler.

Pumpkin Patch

2009-10-16T16:04:00.007-04:00

PUMPKIN PATCH

Mom and I decided to take the kids to the only Pumpkin Patch we know of and it is like 1 1/2 hours away. The kids are on fall break and it is of course raining. It was fun. We were the only ones there and we walked through mud and water to the field of pumpkins. The kids all picked their pumpkin and the nice lady wiped and cleaned their pumpkins off for them. Of course they picked pumpkins that were to big for them to carry so mom and I were trying to juggle a baby and pumpkins wading through mud and water. Fun Times. Justin was a huge help. Scott wanted to come with us but his father is having double bypass heart surgery so everyone pray for him. Here are a few pics from our adventure.

Everyone sporting their Nike winter coats.

SADLER AND PAPPY WALL

GREAT-GRANDMA WALL

Wow it is hard to imagine it was that long ago that we had Sadler in Colorado. It is a great symbol of the love we had for Denver. Sadler is a constant reminder of the wonderful time we spent there. Sadler really wanted to go to the motocross park and ride his dirt bike with all his buddies but it was non stop raining for like 5 days and practice was canceled so we went to Scott's dads and had some people there. He had a blast playing nerf guns and swimming in the make shift lake in Kenny's back yard. All the rain had flooded the ditches and made a huge water hole and of course all of them found it. I think it turned out pretty good to be thrown together so quickly. We love this little man so much and I truly hope he keeps his contagious personality and emotional side. We love you baby.

CHEERTASTIC

2009-10-02T23:42:00.004-04:00

Okay so I never would of thought I would have a cheerleader daughter. Who knows maybe this is just a phase with her age and all her little friends. Hopefully a phase. I guess it wont be to bad just as long as it doesnt come in the way of Softball and basketball and her riding. Anyways here are a few pics of her cheering for Justin playing for the Broncos.

Family Labor Day Weekend

Happy Birthday Jaelynn Riley

Everyone woke up early and wished Jaelynn a happy 7th birthday. She was not expecting anything b/c she knew her party was on Saturday. She came down the stairs and seen her pretty flowers her daddy got her and some presents to open before school. She was so excited. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter. She lightens our lives with her smile and sometimes makes us want to pull our hair out. We love her so much and hope she has a wonderful birthday and weekend celebration.

Waiting to leave for school.

She wanted to wear a dress for her celebration at school. Pappy and Memaw took her out to eat during lunch and brought back a cookie cake for her class.

She got some polly pockets and a few other small gifts to hold her over until Sat.

Another day in the wonderful Wall life

2009-08-30T14:57:00.007-04:00

We have enjoyed having land again. Our kids are so free out there. You would not believe the behavior difference when they are out there. Just so content and happy. It seems to be taking forever to renovate the house but I am trying to be patient. Scott is doing an excellent job and doing everything exactly how I want. We can not wait to be living on our farm. Here are a few pictures of the kids playing out on the land. Sorry Sawyer mommy didnt catch one with you.

Jaelynn has claimed miss Willow as her first very own horse. Willow is not broke for riding yet so Jaelynn goes everyday and plays with her and sits on her back. She says she is getting her ready for when the trainer will ride her. She loves her Willow.
My special baby girl.

I really hope Willow stays nice and quiet after her training. She is very mellow right now and is going to make a great kids horse but you never know she is still very young.

Justin (8) got his new helmet and pads. He is so excited to be playing tackle.

Mason and Sadler giving Clyde some loving.

Morgan watching Sawyer climb a very big tree. Morgan wanted up there with him.

Mason trying to climb the tree like Sawyer.

I was trying to catch a cute moment with the boys. By the time I got my camera UFC had broken out.

Morgan in deep thought.

Mason and Morgan being naughty and climbing on the gate. That is a rule on a farm. You are not allowed to climb on the gates. They are mad at mommy.
Sadler, as usual riding his 4-wheeler or dirt bike. He chose his 4 wheeler today.

Boob Tube (What)

2009-08-07T23:27:00.002-04:00

Okay so I will catch up on pictures soon but first thing's first. Who or should I say what kind of Mother would wear a Boob Tube to their son's football practice. I mean come on. I just can not grip the concept. I mean on a date w/ hubby, boyfriend trying to look sexy that is one thing. Out with friends, socializing, looking for a hubby, boyfriend trying to look sexy okay but at your son's football practice It made me sick. If I, OMG I just wanted to ask her what the heck she was thinking. There were kids for one but husbands, fathers, grandfathers and they were not watching their son's practice that is for sure. I just dont understand. Maybe it is me, of course it is me so I will take the blame for thinking this way but I would never nor would I ever allow my daughter to. You can not even go to your son's football practice with out coming home disgusted. Sorry had to vent. Catch up soon.

OMG They are 2

2009-06-12T15:37:00.003-04:00

Today is Morgan and Mason's Birthday. I can remember watching the sun come up after just watching it go down. Having 2 at a time is a lot of work. Once the boys started walking I wanted them to be babies again. But now that they are 2 and becoming toddlers they are even more work. They go in opposite directions and turn to each other and laugh b/c they know I am only 1 person. On the other hand I am excited for them to get older. Only 2 more left to potty train. Almost done with high chairs. No more cribs. It is an exciting feeling when you know your family is complete. All the baby stuff can be gone. Anyways Happy Birthday Morgan and Mason. My babies for life. We love you.

Pappy Mason with L to R. Sawyer 3, Mason and Morgan 2.

Be Prepared

2009-02-03T23:51:00.005-05:00

The kids were freezing with out the power so they were huddled up

under Daddy's Down comforter.
Sawyer (3) playing in the back yard. He didnt last to long.

I had to hurry to catch this picture. Mason loves his daddy's shoes.

It doesnt have to be his boots just anything that is Scott's. He doesnt even

touch mine or the older kids just Daddy's.

Sadler (4) went everywhere this week with Justin and Jaelynn

he is getting so big he hangs out with the older 2 now

Jaelynn (6) showing off her icicle she got.
Justin (8) and Sadler eating their icicles.
We went out and actually found some snow jackets and pants left. We got them on
clearance so they were alot warmer after this day.
Poor Jaelynn had a sledding accident on Saturday. She came so fast down this huge hill face first in to the railing of a gazebo. She split 2 rails. Pushed her 2 front teeth back into her gums. It did alot of gum damage but no nerve so she just looked sad and was really sore. Her lips were huge. We took her to the Dentist yesterday and everything is ok. Poor baby I felt so awful I couldnt get to her quick enough. Love you sissy I am so sorry.

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY

JUSTIN

My little man is becoming a young man. I can not believe he is 8. We had his

party at Pump It UP and invited a few family and friends. Scott took him to Laser Tag and he

loved it. It was a great day for him.

Justin is such a good example for his friends and siblings. He enjoys so much of life.

He loves riding his dirt bike and 4 wheelers. He is so excited to move out to our property.

He loves anything to do with outside. He enjoys basketball, baseball, loves wrestling and

likes riding horses. (doesnt really have a choice on that one)

We love this young man and are enjoying watching who he is becoming.

Jaelynn Riley holding her cousin Anna.

Grandpa Mason holding his first namesake Rowan Evrit.
No one could believe the babies were only 19 months. Scott only had to help them go
up this huge inflatable slide and it was on. They screamed when we had to leave.
It was pretty neat there were 5 sets of twins at Justin's party not including my dad.
But his twin wasnt there so we didnt count him.
Grandma Mason with Mason. What a grandma!

Sadler had crazy hair day one day in January so he wanted

me to take a picture and put it on here. What a cutie!

Yes he went to school with his face dirty and dried snot.

Didnt even notice it until I seen the picture. Awful Mom!

Happy Holidays

2008-12-26T22:57:00.003-05:00

Well here is a picture from Christmas Day of the whole family. I can not believe I am actually in it but here it is. I have so many pictures from the last few days I need to figure out how to do a slide show. So until then everyone have a happy new year!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

2008-12-02T15:03:00.010-05:00

What a beautiful day our Thanksgiving was in Southern Indiana. We went home to our house in Newburgh for the long weekend. We spent Thanksgiving Day at Scott's family's. It was so pretty outside we got some amazing pictures at Scott's mom's house we are going to use for our Christmas cards. The kids got to ride their dirt bikes and 4 wheelers at Scott's dad's house and his grandmother made a wonderful Thanksgiving Feast. We had my family Thanksgiving on Friday at our house in Newburgh. My brother and his wife and twin babies and Jake and his wife came. It was an absolute great day until Scott got called in to work for that night and the next. We didnt miss him much we partied and played games. Fun Times. Missed you babe. Here are some pictures of the kids from our weekend. Happy Holidays!

Cute little guys I can not believe they are almost 18 months.

Morgan Shad, he is such a awesome little guy. He takes after Sadler alot. Very Emotional.

Mason Reid, curls, curls and more curls. Never expected curls. What a dream child. Mason takes after Sawyer alot. Very good but very evil!

What cute little guys we are going to use some of these pictures for the babies 18 month pictures. They had so much fun just playing in the leaves.

I think we are using this for our Christmas cards. Everyone actually was enjoying their picture taking which is very unusual. Someone is always upset.

Or someone is being a goofball. Justin could not keep his tongue in his mouth. Almost every picture it was out.

Sadler Dean, him and Morgan just happened to be together wrestling so I snapped just in time to make it look like he was giving his little brother some lovin. NOT. Are all brothers joint at the hip but yet are not happy unless they are wrestling? I wonder if mine are the only ones?

Sawyer Randall, blue eyed beauty. His eyes just shine. Thanks Kenny for the eyes. He fits right in with the crowd. I can not believe I did not have 1 boy that was not different. I guess I have not given them much time to be different but basically so far they are all falling in the footsteps of their older brother.

Jaelynn Riley, of course we are posing in this picture. She was the first one to say get the camera Mommy I want a picture of me in the tree. What an angel she is but we have started the sassy talk backing. Oh my goodness I could do with out the drama and sassyness of girls. But I would never trade her for a second.

Oh and I was wondering if all boys were that way. I guess they dont have a choice when their dad starts it. Scott is such a great father. We are really trying hard to figure Jaelynn out but other than that it is all good. Sorry Justin I didnt get any good pictures of him by himself but we still love him just as much. He is our rock and he is such a good little guy. I actually was upstairs the other day and his door was locked and I asked him to open it and to my surprise there was a little neighbor girl in there with him and he was changing right in front of her. School clothes to play clothes and didnt think a thing about it. Boys will be Boys. He now knows that is not appropriate.

Happy Birthday Dad

2008-12-02T14:40:00.004-05:00

I am so blessed to have such wonderful parents. I just wanted to take a quick entry and thank my parents so much for everything they have ever done for me and my family. I am very loved and I hope I do 1/2 as good as they did in raising our kids. My dad just turned 58 and we got to be with him on his birthday and it means alot to me that he is a better grandfather then he even was a dad. My kids adore him as do I. Love you mom and dad hope to see you soon.

Sawyer turns 3

2008-12-02T14:08:00.004-05:00

Yes this entry is a little late. Sawyer turned 3 on Nov. 4. He is such an amazing little man. He brightens our house with his amazing blue eyes and gorgeous smile. He looks alot like his papaw Wall. He had a good birthday. We have small family birthdays for now. Everyone is still content with out the big birthday bashes. He is doing great with the potty training. He goes to a pre-pre-school class 2x a week and he loves it. He is not the most out spoken kid but when he has something to say he takes his time and is very articulated. Here are some pictures of his birthday and some we are using as his 3 year pictures.

Sawyer was learning how to hold up 3 fingers.

He is really into monster trucks and Iron Man. (He was Iron Man for Halloween)

The Best Weekend Ever!

2008-10-20T21:36:00.008-04:00

I can honestly say this was the best weekend our family of 8 has ever shared. Our Saturday started out with a trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. What a great zoo our circle city offers. Everyone was on wonderful behavior and even the babies did great. We left the zoo about 3 or so and everyone passed out in the car like 5 minutes after we left. Scott and I decided to do our pumpkin patch adventure. So we went to a local orchard that is an amazing place. The kids all woke up grouchy. The babies were hysterical not getting a good nap but as soon as we got on the wagon ride back to the pumpkin patch everything was great. The kids loved the tractor pulling us and all the little bumps we went over. Our pumpkin patch adventure finally got over about 6. Here are some pictures of our amazing day with our truly blessed family.

My beautiful babies!

This was Justin's favorite part of the zoo. It is so cool Indy Zoo has a dolphin show.

This adorable monkey was Jaelynn's favorite. It looks so comfy.

You can see it on his face. The seal going back and forth made Sadler hysterically laugh. It was so funny.

Sadler and Sawyer loved the roller coaster. It was their first time on one.

Sawyer loved it!!

What a cutie!

OFF TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH

Morgan loved the big pumpkins. He tried to sit on them and was laughing and trying to pick them up. It was so funny. He is alot like Sadler already. He is a very emotional little man.

One minute he is extremely happy the next NOT!

SEE

Mason loved it when we finally got to the pumpkins. He would pick on up and hold it for a while. He would attempt to walk with them. Then he would pick up another and walk around with it. Smiling the whole time he thought he was a big boy.

What an awesome family I am so blessed with.

First Set Of Stiches

2008-10-13T21:52:00.005-04:00

So we are officailly irresponsible parents! (some would say) Well our little man Sawyer has gotten the first set of stiches for our family. We had to take him to the ER last friday night b/c his lip and everything around him was full of blood. He needed 3 stiches on the outside and 3 on the inside to sew his lip back up. Well we didnt have time to call anyone to stay with the kids and Scott didnt want to stick him in the car seat so the whole family went to the ER. It was Friday night and supposed to be movie night so Justin grabbed a movie on the way out and we dropped them off and went and got a pizza and had movie night in the truck. Awful some would say but we have a 20 inch TV in the truck so the movie time wasnt to bad. What is bad is that we were in the truck until 1:00 AM. 6 hours. My kids are such troopers. Sawyer didnt cry at all. Not for the IV, Cat Scan, Stitches nothing. Yes I guess you get a cat scan now for busting your lip open. They wouldnt let him leave until he would talk. I guess they thought he had head trauma b/c he wouldnt speak. He is a very stubborn little guy. So Scott called me at midnight and said he couldnt get him to talk in front of the nurses and so we switched and I went in and a few minutes after Mommy was in there he softly said "mommy I want to go home" so we did finally. I hope he doesnt have to go thru that again. For that matter any of us! No more Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. Here are some pictures of the little guy. It is pretty gross, Sorry.

Nice food! Yuck

Justin wrote this letter to his baby brother

Jaelynn wrote this letter to her baby brother.

Another Set Of Twins

2008-10-13T21:40:00.004-04:00

Well as all of you probably know my dad is a twin. My dad has first cousin twins, natural triplets way back and of course my Mason and Morgan. Well my younger brother Josh and his wife Jen (yes there is another Jennifer Mason now! cool huh!) welcomed their boy/girl twins on July 18. I am an awful Aunt that I am just now putting pictures of them and they are 12 weeks now. Anyhow here are my beautiful and adorable niece and nephew Anna Cosette and Rowan Evrit.

Thought I had a minute

2008-09-30T13:52:00.003-04:00

Sadler wanted to go to the creek for his birthday. He just turned 4.
Mason Reid (he has curls)
Morgan Shad my burger butt.

Well I thought I would have just a second to sit down and update my blog but OH NO! A baby has started stirring around upstairs and now is sitting in his crib singing and waiting for me to come get him. Always happens right when you want them to take a 3 hour nap and after 1 hour they are up. Anyways everyone is great here. We moved into another home we are leasing while we are getting ready to start building ours. We found out 2 weeks ago the home Scott's company had originally leased for us to move up here was being foreclosed on and we had 2 weeks to get out. Crazy but luckily we found one in Pittsboro where our farm is and the kids will go to the school they would eventually be in anyways. It all worked out just a lot of work and now a lot of unorganized stuff just laying everywhere. It is all good! Sorry so short will try to catch up more later. Love and miss everyone. Here are just a few pictures.

We are finally ONE

2008-06-23T13:46:00.007-04:00

Well my baby boys turned 1 year old on June 12. They had so much fun. They were not to crazy about their cake. The other kids were more excited for them. They woke up and each put a present in a bag and basically carried it around with them all day waiting for the babies to be able to open them.
Summer is or is not here yet? Weather wise I don't know but activity wise definitely yes. Who says a 7 and 5 year old are to practice and have games and be gone 4 and 5 evenings a week. It is exhausting. Scott has been working 7 days a week for 12 - 14 hours a day finishing this job up so it has been crazy. Thank goodness for grandma. She has been helping alot. (Thanks MOM)
So here are some pictures to keep ya current on the Wall Gang. Also some of my girls that have to live at the barn.

Morgan Shad

Mason Reid

What cuties

Scott got to enjoy just Sadler and Sawyer for a little golf one afternoon while babies were napping and Justin and Jaelynn went to the pool with a friend. It is so nice when you get alone time.

Sadler is upset b/c he can not find the ball he hit. He is our little drama boy. What a personality he traits. It turned out okay Daddy found it for him.

Mr. Sawyer riding his bike. He is fearless on it and scares me to death.

What a wonderful father my kids have. Being a parent is so hard but it is the moments you get to enjoy that make it all worth it. For Father's Day each kid got to pick something special they wanted to do with just Daddy. Scott surprised Justin with taking him fishing early in the morning before everyone woke up with Donuts and chocolate milk. He was in heaven. He had so much fun. Well when they got home and everyone else heard what he got to do they wanted to do the same thing. Sadler was the only one different he wanted to go ride his 4-wheeler at the land. So Jaelynn went and then Sawyer got to fish. They are still talking about it. Scott loved the one on one time with them. Happy Father's Day.

This is Ms. Sequin. She is a blue roan quarter horse yearling. She has one blue eye and is such a sweet filly. I hope to have her for a long time.

This is Fancy. Her name says it all. She is such a doll. She is a bay roan quarter horse. She is 2 years old and I hope she will be the kids horse someday.

9 Months have come and gone.

2008-04-01T08:23:00.008-04:00

What a whirlwind the last 9 months have been. I truly can not believe my baby boys are 9 months old. They are so fun. Mason is crawling all over and pulling up on everything. Yesterday he started letting go of one item to go to the next. It is amazing I love this little guy he is such a mamma's boy. His smile brightens the day with his one little tooth. Morgan is now crawling all over he pulls up on things but likes to sit on his knees. He is our talker he is saying mama, dada, baba, bye bye, and the other day my mom said he was saying memaw. We took the babies and big kids to Portrait Innovations to get their belated Easter picture I take yearly. They did wonderful although I am very well loosing my mind. I totally scheduled the pictures on a Wed. during school b/c I thought it was Spring Break week. Well Monday morning before comes and it is like 10:00 am and Justin's school calls to see where he is. Needless to say wrong week. So he had a fever on Wed and we went ahead and got the pictures anyway. Now Spring Break is here and we are enjoying being home together and not having to be anywhere. It has been over 3 months since I updated hopefully it will not be another 3. Love y'all.

Happy Spring everyone. The boys all got a crew cut the day after these. Their hair was so long.
Thank you mom for color coordinating everyone. They look so cute. What were we thinking. I was asked that the other day by a gentleman at the stable we board at and I just smiled and said obviously we weren't.

How blessed we are to have such healthy, beautiful children. It is so hard raising these little angels and how fortunate we are to have been in trusted to keep them safe and guide them to do what is right.

What cuties. These babies are so sweet and so cute. I am so happy we have them in our family.

Mason Reid, my little sweetheart. He is so smart and keeps us saying "I can not believe he just did that" We adore this little guy.

Morgan Shad. Look at this smile. He is always such a bright happy boy. He is a little aggressive but so sweet. He is loves to give kisses and show off his 5 teeth. What a joy he gives us.

Chistmas PJ pictures

2007-12-17T20:56:00.000-05:00

I had decided to take the kids Christmas pictures at home instead of paying to blame someone else for not getting all six of them to smile at the same time. Well so I tried to make it as different as possible then what they are used to. So we did Christmas pajama pictures. I bought everyone pj's for Christmas morning so everyone picked a pair and we got started. Justin does not wear much to bed so a white T-shirt was his PJ's. Tension spans were a tad bit longer but only by a fraction. Believe it or not the oldest was the start to the melting of Wall's. Justin just was having a hard time as you can see.

This is the picture we used on the cards.

Sneak preview I just sent them out today.

What a beautiful daughter we have been blessed with. We love this little angel more then words and I can not believe how fast she is growing. I want her to stay 5 forever. She has become such a little helper and I really do not know what I would do with out her when My mom is not here. She keeps Sadler and Sawyer entertained and when the babies are crying she is right there playing pat a cake or singing Rudolf. Such a gift she is.

Well over the Indianapolis area everything was canceled on Sunday. Coming from Denver we could not believe they were canceling before we even had an inch of snow. Well the foot of snow was maybe 5 or so inches. Anyways we spent our Sunday doing family stuff of which included going sledding. Scott remembered some man made hills at a Industrial Park where we had seen people riding 4 wheelers and motorcycles before. So we headed over there to test the hills. They were to much for Sadler and Sawyer. But Justin and Jaelynn loved them and Scott to. It was a lot of fun. I got a little camera happy, Sorry!

Justin was going down before Scott and the others got half up the hill.

He looks like he is king of the mountain. Do you see our brave Sadler behind Justin going down headfirst. He was loving it and said Wah Hooo when he got to the bottom.
Jaelynn lasted a lot longer then I thought. She was freezing but stuck it out with the boys.

A little glimpse of how big the hill was.

Does he look comfy. Not to cold yet. Sawyer only lasted 20 minutes or so.
What a snow bundled cutie.
There they all go at it again.
I was dying laughing when I seen this picture. Sawyer was loving it, he was just so cold.

Sawyer's Birthday Pictures

2007-11-27T13:07:00.000-05:00

Well we didn't get to many great pictures but he sure had fun and made everyone laugh taking the ones they did get. He basically played catch the entire photo session. O well. Here are a few pictures from his 2 year old photos.

After about 10 seconds he was done so he started to destruct the photo set. Which was just a white background. Needless to say the props were not far from coming out.

This is what Sawyer looks like when I love you mommy. I am being a good, good boy.

This is Sawyer with his, you better watch out cuz I am coming to get you look.

Like I said here comes the props. Just to try to get him to sit still. Nope wasn't happening the Motorcycle got scooted away and the enormous puppy got body slammed. At least all I had there was Jaelynn so it was not to bad of an experience.

No Thanksgiving Pictures

2007-11-27T12:43:00.000-05:00

I am such a brat. What a wonderful holiday to capture on photo or video and I don't get any. Well I will at least journal the great time we had. My dad was in for 10 days and we enjoyed him and my mom so much. My brother Josh came in for the T-day and the kids adore him. We went out of town to Kentucky to visit Scott's family and my baby brother Jake was coming in to visit us at Josh's house in Newburgh, IN. Right across the Ohio river from KY. The kids love Jake and he brought his dog Finnegan so they could play with him. It was hilarious, Sadler loves dogs and he was entertained for over an hour. Megan had to stay in Lexington b/c she was on call. We missed you Megan. We got to visit Scott's brother Chris and his wife and baby boy Aiden. What a cutie! We enjoyed our visit with our favorite friends the King family. We feel so at home at their place. They have 5 boys (2 sets of twins) and the kids love playing over there. Thank you Megan for giving up your house for us to play. All in All it was a great holiday and we look forward to seeing everyone at Christmas. Here are a few pictures from a week or so ago.

The babies fell asleep on memaw's lap while watching the older kids doing a dance routine to the Jonas Brothers CD.

(L) Morgan and (R) Mason posing in their cute outfits.

Life is so busy

2007-11-07T05:58:00.000-05:00

I wanted to say how proud we are of my brother Jake. He got sworn in yesterday as a Lawyer. Go Jake. He is my baby brother and he lives with his wife Megan and puppy Finnegan in Lexington, KY. She is a neurologist resident and working very hard. We love them both and are anxious to see them (and Finnegan) over the holidays.

On that note my other brother Josh just recently got engaged to Jenn (2) that is what she goes by. It is really neat we will have another Jennifer Mason in the family. The name dwindled for 10 years and now it will be back. They just returned from vacation to New York City visiting Mom and Dad. She had a blast and I think Josh had fun too!

Well while I am on here I will post a few pictures.

Pappy Mason visiting over the Columbus Day holiday. They let them off work for anything in NYC. Well thank you cuz we loved having him.

Pappy's girl.

It's the two pumkins. Pappy and Sadler call each other the pumkin. It is so cute. Sadler adores his grandpa and I know the feeling is mutual. Right dad?

Scott cut up one of his camo shirts for Justin to be a hunter for Halloween. We had serious issues with him this year cuz I refused to purchase any costumes b/c my mom got so many this summer at garage sales. I felt awful but come on when you have 2 or 3 each to choose from. Well being the stubborn Wall that he is he chose none and daddy made him one.

PUMPKIN CARVING FUN!!!!! Scott always looks forward to this time each year. (Not) It seems each year we are adding another kid for him to continuously tell to get back. That is all I heard for like an hour. He is so meticulous about everything he does that time just seems to stand still for the little ones. Anyways we only got one pumpkin done instead of 5. That is okay it turned out to be fun and the pumpkin looked awesome. Thank you babe!

HALLOWEEN CUTIES

As you can see our costumes are not very impressive this year. No one wanted to wear anything we had. We had the cutest pirate costume for Sawyer and he would wear nothing. We barely got clothes on him to go trick or treating. He was a motocross rider. He was wearing a helmet but not for long. Sadler was Jeff Gordon (nascar driver) Jaelynn was a colts cheerleader and Justin decided to wear a power ranger outfit but wouldn't wear the mask. Owell. The babies were babies.
Justin's coaches were so surprised how well he did in the post season. He was in flag football this year but two of the coaches did an extended league with pads and tackle. Justin came out of his shell. He definitely loves the contact. Chasing flags is no fun was his comment I wanna hit someone. Well at least it is a sport. Anyways we were very proud of him for trying as hard as he did. We love him very much he is such a wonderful young man.

SAWYER IS 2

2007-11-06T14:36:00.000-05:00

Sawyer's birthday was Sunday Nov. 4th. I can not believe he is 2 already. He has grown up so much since his brothers were born. He is talking fairly well and sleeping in a big boy bed. He really wants to be potty trained like Sadler is doing but mommy is not interested in taking that challenge on yet. He loves riding Justin and Jaelynn's 4 - wheelers. We adore him so much and he gives us much hapiness and joy. He has a very sombering personality. Not many hugs and kisses but watch out for the rath of Sawyer when he gets angry. He is really into books and playing play doh. He got a scooter for his birthday cuz we were tired of him fighting with Sadler over his that he got for his birthday. It is crazy he just turned 2 and rides like a pro. Here are some pictures from his birthday.

New pictures

2007-10-26T13:29:00.000-04:00

Okay so the four younger boys are all resting at the same time. Wow that will probably never happen again. Anyways so my mom and Scott and anyone close to me has blamed my lack of journal entries due to my searching for a horse. Well they are probably right b/c we decided on one on Monday and since then this is my second entry. Go figure. Okay back to kids. I got Jaelynn's 5 yr. old pictures, Sadler's 3 yr old pictures and the babies 3 month old pictures done over a month ago and not many people have seen them in fact I am just now cutting them up. So here it goes.
My Jaelynn
This little lady is well just that a little lady. She is such a wonderful daughter. She is a wonderful big sister and she keeps Justin in line also. She is very thoughtful and cares deeply what others are feeling. She is strong willed but gets very upset if she thinks she has hurt your feelings. She is in pre-Kindergarten but she does Justin's 1st grade homework with him. She is trying to figure out how he is reading and when she does something it is usually by memory. She is brilliant by my opinion. She loves school and of course is thriving. She is in dance and is great at that. She is very graceful which she did not get from me. Memaw Mason's gift to her I guess. Her new thing is riding horses. I got them into horse lessons over a month ago and her and Justin are loving it. My bestest, bestest friend loaned us her bomb proof horse that she has owned since his birth and the kids are loving it. Jaelynn still rides a 39 year old mare named sissy. She has the swayest back I have ever seen on a horse. It is adorable to see her riding Sissy. Jaelynn had a wonderful birthday. Just a family party where her cousins got to come over. I love this angel so much and am so excited to see what her 5th year of life has to bring.

I could not figure out how to rotate this picture but it was to cute not to put on.

Mr. Sadler (the pumpkin)

This little guy is such a joy. He still has the most awesome personality of any person I have ever met. He can keep anyone hysterically laughing and the next second be hysterically crying. So emotional this little man. He enjoyed his 3rd birthday party. It was a family occasion and his cake was Diego. He doesnt like much TV but that is one of his shows he will actually watch. He just enjoyed the last two weekends in KY where we visited Scott's family. Sadler has decided that Jaelynn's 50cc 4 wheeler is now his. He is riding like he was born on it. It is so cute. Scott of course turned the throttle down and you have to basically push him to get it going but he loves it. He thinks he is so big. I am enjoying him so much now that he can talk and tell me what he wants instead of crying all the time. There is alot of crying still but not near as much. He likes the horses also although he doesnt get to go to the barn as often he enjoys it when he gets to ride. I was afraid that a few of the kids would not share the same interest in horses that I do but so far they all do. We are lucky in that aspect they like what I like and what Scott does. Jeeping, 4 wheelers, baseball ectt..... Anyways I can not believe he has turned 3 and here is a few pictures of him.

My baby boys

I can not say enough about these little guys. I am sure trying to enjoy them. They are so good and I hope they always stay so sweet. These pictures are of them at 3 months and they are now 4 1/2 so they have grown alot. Mason is such a little sweetie and such a good baby. He has the cutest personality and the prettiest smile ever. He is rolling over and sitting in his saucer seat. My Morgan is a little more demanding. He has reflux pretty bad and stays a little uncomfortable. Despite this he is still a happy baby and smiles all the time. He is rolling over and loves sitting in his saucer also. I will try to put thier 6 month pictures and stats on when they are done. Here are thier pictures. They were not very thrilled to have these taken.

Morgan is on the left and Mason on the right.

Time really does fly!

2007-10-25T13:19:00.000-04:00

I can not believe it has been 6 weeks since I updated this. Well there will not be any pictures added due to my computer falling apart so Scott wiped it out and they are all on some memory stick or something that I dont care to learn how to operate. So our lives have obviously been crazy busy. We have been out of town the last 2 weekends visiting family in KY. Thank you Kenny for letting us take over your house!! The kids have been nasty sick with everything from Sinus infection, ear infection, croup (no idea how to spell) fever, Cough. It has been a sick October. Everyone is doing much better thank goodness.
We are supposed to be breaking ground on our house soon. This county we are in is ridiculous with its permits and such. Anyways hopefully sooner then later. The kids have been enjoying riding our loaner horse from Anna. Thank you so much!!! They are doing really well. I am proud. We have been looking at a 6 year old mare that I think we might get. She reminds me of my first horse Joker. We shall see. Scott says it will take the place of all my gifts that I would recieve from now until 1 year. That is fine with me.
Justin is playing an extended football season with pads. He likes the knocking and hitting. He says mommy it is alot more fun when you get to tackle.
Sadler turned 3 and Sawyer will be 2 on the 4th. They are my stinkers. God love um!
Well hopefully I can update some pictures on here before long.
Have a wonderful Halloween!

Surviving Another Week

2007-09-11T17:10:00.000-04:00

So yesterday (monday September 10) was Scott's birthday. My mom and I took Jaelynn to her first dance class and she loved it like we knew she would. We get home and eat and have cake and ice cream and all say why we are thankful for daddy. It was the cutest thing. Anyways Scott decides it is time to put our inflatable bounce town in the back yard away for the year. It had rained and they were all wet. So he decides to hang them up for a few days on the swing set. (Wife's idea). Well he finds mice underneath the inflatables. It was hilarious to see him showing the kids these mice. So Justin comes in and gets the fish net and wants his dad to catch one. Scott loves this! As you can see in the pictures he catches the mouse and they release it in the bean field. It was so funny.

So here is everyone trying to catch the mice with the fish net. Sadler and Sawyer wanted to touch it so bad. Scott was laughing so hard.
Here is the trash can where the mouse is residing for the moment. Trying to keep the kids hands out of the trash can was really hard.
Here is Mr. Mouse, Disgusting

My Jaelynn posing before school. She loves the camera.

Well my baby boys are 13 weeks today. I took Morgan to the Doctor he has not been eating very well for the past few days. She says he has an ear infection ( the diagnosis for every thing) we will see. They are trying so hard to roll over. They don't get to lay down very often for being trampled but also b/c of the constant spitting up they do. Morgan is much worse then Mason. They will eventually get to.

My camera was messing up. Both babies had just woken up and were hungry.

Sorry such a shotty picture. Morgan is on the L and Mason on R.

My Morgan I hope he gets better quickly. I guess he will get a little TLC for the next few days.

I could not get Mason to smile. He was a little ticked off that he wasn't getting fed.

My camera makes me so mad. I should really take a class and learn how to use it.

Justin stayed home today as you can see he wasn't feeling very well unlike his brother who was cheesing hard.

What A Weekend

2007-09-04T14:19:00.000-04:00

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. Ours was sooooo busy. It began with my dad, Jake, Megan and their dog Finnegan and Josh and Jennifer coming in. It is always so wonderful to have family come in. Well, we had a family picnic in which we invited extended family to come. It is so nice to live close enough now that they can come for a long day. After the picnic everyone came over to celebrate Jaelynn's 5th birthday with some yummy cup cakes. The kids had a blast and didn't want the party to end.

Sunday was Jaelynn's official birthday and we got to spend it with family. So Monday was spent like another Saturday. Lots of swimming and park playing and anything pertaining to being outside. We had a great weekend.
Tuesday morning comes and reality hits. Scott is up at his normal time still hobbling around from his knee surgery he had last Tuesday, Justin has ended up in our bed which wakes the babies up that are still in the bed with me, which wakes me up still sitting up waiting on the babies to finish eating to put them back in their bed. Well they never made it. So I look over and it is 7:30. I had my alarm set for 6:30 so maybe I could go to the bathroom and brush my teeth before the day got started but not now. It was close but Justin made it out the door on time. So I pass my laundry room on the way to get Sawyer out of bed, He is my late sleeper, and I notice the massive (I mean huge, massive, extraordinarily large) pile of dirty clothes in the laundry room. I guess that is what happens when you have company in and every thing is dropped. It will eventually get caught up.

So my baby boys are 12 weeks old today. They will officially be 3 months on Sept. 12 so I will get their pictures taken sometime between now and then. They are laughing out loud and trying so hard to roll over. They go to the Dr. on Sept. 15 so I will give weight and height updates then. Sawyer is 22 months today. This little guy is something else. His major thing right now is starting to talk. (Talk back that is) Favorite word is NO. Anything that has liquid in it ends up on the floor. It is such a cool game to him. I included some pictures of this weekend. LOL.

Jaelynn and her (second) cousin Scout. Jaelynn calls Scout her sister b/c she doesn't have one. The are so cute together.

My 5 year old beautiful baby girl. Where does time go?

Scout's daddy Ricky holding the cupcakes. Sadler is sure eyeing them.

Now all you need are your pink cowgirl boots and a pony. Maybe next year!

Mommy's cousin Amelia and Jaelynn. Two beautiful ladies.

Jaelynn, Sunday morning birthday breakfast in her new night gown.

My Sadler. He is my emotional one. As you can see from the picture he was hysterically crying before hysterically laughing. It is either 1 or 10 no in between.

What a handsome little guy. It is hard to believe he will be 3 in a few days.

Can you see the meanness in this kid. What a hand full.

We are so proud of this young man. He received all good marks from school the month of August. In return he chose to get a pair of heely shoes. It took him maybe (at the most) half a day to learn how to use them. He loves them. He totally wanted to wear them to school today to show his teacher. We know he will keep up the good work and who knows what he will choose this month. Keep up the hard work Justin! He always tries to look a little GQ in his pictures.

4 Sets of twins

2007-08-30T00:53:00.000-04:00

Okay so lets just say it was my set that was not counted. I was feeding my boys who decided to get up 2 hours early for their night feeding meaning there will more then likely be another. And I realize there were 4 sets of twins at our dinner we had. So to clarify there were 20 kids to 5 families, 8 are twins . Good night for now.

Falling Behind

2007-08-29T17:18:00.000-04:00

So yes today is Wednesday and I missed my entry for the babies turning 11 weeks. Well I think it is okay to skip an update for them this week. I wanted everyone to know that since last weeks carpooling kids everywhere entry life has settled down a bit. Justin is riding the bus to school and home. My neighbor (also has a 1st grader) swings by in the morning and picks Justin up and takes him to the bus stop. The little boy attends the neighboring school but they still ride the bus together. Jaelynn (attending afternoon kinderskills) gets picked up from another little girl in her class named Jaelyn's mother. I am giving her a little gas money to pick her up and drop her off. How sweet. Oh yah! and I pulled Sadler out of the PDO class. We are going to have little friends come over to the house for him to play with while Sawyer naps so we don't have to pay for him to play. (why didnt I think of that before well lack of ??????) So we have it nice now.
We had a nice weekend, we took the kids to a little inflatable play place and they had a blast and we had several awesome families over for dinner and that was fun. Scott told his coworker we had a little get together and there was like 20 kids there and his coworker replies "I bet half were yours". No Greg only 6 were ours and there were 3 sets of twins included. We had a wonderful time and we are so thankful they tolerate us.
Scott had minor knee surgery yesterday (wonder why I am a day behind?) and he is doing good his coworkers flipped out this morning when they arrived at work and seen he was already there. He had a few meetings he didn't want to miss. ( So he says, I know he was avoiding being home with 4 little ones, me and a mother in law) Who could blame him? Work it is.
Justin only has 2 more days he has to come home from school with red apples (the best mark he can get in a day) and he gets his healy shoes. ( I have no idea how they are spelt) He is so excited and he has worked so hard. Unlike Jaelynn who gets a pair in a few days for it just being her B-Day. I can not believe my little angel girl is turning 5. It does not seem possible.
I will try to catch an opportunity to take a picture of the babies and enter it.

First taste of Chauffeur life.

2007-08-21T16:43:00.000-04:00

The hair bow dilemma, Jaelynn is starting to have a say so in what she wears and how she does her hair. Well I finally got her to wear this hair bow with her dress. What drama!

What a beautiful little girl. She is so excited to have started school. I love that she enjoys it.

So the life of a domestic chauffeur. Take Justin to the bus stop, take Sadler to preschool, pick Sadler up and drop Jaelynn off, pick Jaelynn up, then almost home and pick Justin up at bus stop. Then we are off to after school activities. Crazy, no wonder nothing gets done. What an insane schedule but I love it. Jaelynn's first day of Kinder skills was today and she loved it. Sadler will go on Friday for the first time. I had to switch him to morning b/c I would have been paying for him to go and take a nap. Obviously I wasn't told that when I initially signed him up.

Mason and Morgan are 10 weeks today. They are growing so fast. They have found their arms and hands and tongues (as seen in the pictures). They are sleeping okay they usually get up 1-2 times and go right back to sleep. I am looking forward to them sitting up and getting mobile.

Mason and Morgan (sleeping of course)
I cant believe I got both of them sticking their tongues out. Mason (R) woke up stuck his tongue out and went right back to sleep. Mason (L) was cheezing while I was singing to him taking the pictures.
What an adorable smile. I was lucky to catch him gummin it! Morgan snoozing.

Another Tuesday makes 9 weeks

2007-08-14T21:39:00.000-04:00

Another Tuesday has came and went and my little men are 9 weeks old. They went for their 2 month check up yesterday and everything is right on track. Morgan is weighing in at 12 lb 8 oz and 22 3/4 inches. Mason is a little heavier at 13 lbs even and 23 3/4 inches long. Mason is around the 75 % on weight and height and Morgan is right at 50 % on weight and height. I figured it would take a little longer to catch up to singletons the same age. We are excited to see what the next month brings with the development of these guys.

I was afraid I would not get to make this entry on Tuesday b/c of all the activities going on. Justin started school yesterday and loves it. I am going to let him ride the bus for the first time tomorrow. I have to just let him do it. He is so excited and I figure less gas I am paying for. Jaelynn had gymnastics tonight and her first soccer practice. She loved it. Mom and I went and took the babies with us and had a great time chatting and then took Jaelynn out for dinner. It was wonderful just us girls and 2 wonderfully behaved baby boys. This weekend is going to be a fun challenge with Jaelynn meeting her new teacher and soccer and football games. The sweet life of activity. Sadler is so excited to go to school. He is in a late 2 year old class at Jaelynn's school and he just goes 2 days a week at the same time she goes. He will love the socialization with the other kids. It is a little earlier then normal for me to take a nap away but it is only 2 days a week and he will just go to bed really early those nights.

I picked up our preliminary plans for our house today. It is awesome. I am so excited to start this adventure of farm life. It is so what we need for our family. I just wish you could snap and it be done tomorrow. O well the next year will come and go.

We took a picture of the kids sunday morning. We were already running 30 minutes late so why not add to the mix with posing for a picture.

Morgan and Mason's first family trip

2007-08-07T18:19:00.000-04:00

Well the babies are 8 weeks old today. They are technically 2 months on the 12th so they have not went for their check up until the 13th. We will have weight and height updates next week. Anyways we took the babies on their first trip with our family. To all that know us it is nothing for us to load the kids up and scamper off somewhere. Well we went to Kentucky to visit all of Scott's family and our friends. Our great friends Chris and Megan thru a wonderful BBQ party and we invited everyone. It was a blast. Scott bought the kids an inflatable water slide and Megan has a pool so kids were very entertained. Megan and Chris have 5 boys including 2 sets of twins. So my kids were in heaven on their land riding our 4 wheelers and Justin had a blast on Dylan's motorcycle. (nobody tell him there was one in his grandpa's garage waiting for him for Christmas) It turned out wonderful even though I had a 24 hour stomach virus and stayed in bed until 1 hr before the party. Thank you babe for taking care of me and having all 6 of the kids to yourself. You are the bomb! Here are pictures of Morgan and Mason today. Morgan is sleeping this time. Also some pics of the kids at the party.

Is there a recall on these junky bouncy seats

2007-07-31T09:11:00.000-04:00

So my mom and Aunt Mary Ann buy me these great bouncy seats for my shower. They were fairly expensive and they are name brand. (Fisher Price Rainforest Jungle bouncer) Well the babies are 7 weeks old today and they continue to not work correctly. I dont think it was the installation of parts person (me) because Scott took them both apart and put back together and still Junk. The vibration on one of them rackets like a drill getting lug nuts off a wheel. Then both of them on the mobile part the frog that goes up and down gets stuck and rackets awful. I asked the customer service at babies R us and there is no recall on them yet but keep your eyes open for me. Anyways here are the babies enjoying their junky bouncy seats. I guess the racket will get them used to being out in their dad's shop eventually

Family Fishing Fun

2007-07-30T14:38:00.000-04:00

Well if any of you know us very well you know that our kids are very outdoorsy. I see a farm in our near future. If my kids had a warning label it would read: Do not keep indoors or will self destruct. Perfectly said, so my mom leaves Wed. night and I am being left with my 6 wonderful children for the first time all day by my self. No problem right? Right? It was raining Thursday! Great for the farmers, insanity for me. The kids were actually very good. I on the other hand, total chaos. I forgot Jaelynn's reading class it had been switched to 8:30 am. Her teacher was driving all around our neighborhood trying to find our house and calling me on my dead cell phone. (sorry Jennifer). Luckily a great new friend called and invited Justin and Jaelynn over to play for a few hours. They had a blast. (Thanks Melissa) I ran a few errands with the younger 4 and before you know it Scott was home and our weekend would begin. He is off on Friday but it was nasty out again so we played cleanup in the house and that game doesnt last very long. We poked along into Sat. which was much more entertaining. The highlight of the day was fishing at the local neighborhood pond. I figured it wouldnt last to long, but when the kids are waiting in line to take a fish off and get rebaited, who would want to leave? Our fishing trip ended abruptly when Justin hooks his finger. Poor kid. He was very brave and tough. Saturday turned into Sunday in which Sawyer continued a low grade fever so we hung out at home most of the day. What an entertaining weekend luckily I picked my mom back up this morning. We are so looking forward to next weekend when we go down south to KY to visit all of our Wall family and friends.

Another week gone by

2007-07-24T12:54:00.000-04:00

L - Mason R- Morgan

Well another week has came and went and my little guys are 6 weeks today. It is amazing how fast life goes by when you are trying to take it slow. My cousin asked me yesterday how life with 6 kids is going and I replied by it is just 2 more to feed, bathe, clean up after, nourish and get dressed and in the car to run somewhere we are needing to be 15 minutes ago. It has really been the most uneventful transition yet. These babies are so good and I am trying to enjoy each moment with them. Most of the time it is the 2 feeding they take at night that I really get to look at them and count how big of a blessing they are. I weighed them today and Mason is 10 lbs 8 oz and Morgan is 10 lbs 4 oz. They have gained almost another 2 lbs since their 4 week check up.
We had a wonderful few days this past weekend. Friday Scott was off and he took Justin, Jaelynn and Sadler fishing in the neighborhood pond. He couldnt get the fish off the hook fast enough. They were waiting in line to get worms back on their hook. Sadler was so excited he caught like 10 fish. It was his first time since he was a baby so he really enjoyed it.
Saturday was a beautiful day and we spent most of the day outside. We had a church picnic during the afternoon that was wonderful. Saturday night turned into Sunday morning as Scott was waiting for the men to deliver his jeep. We traded our camper for a jeep and they were here until midnight. It is a nice jeep and I think we made a good decision on the trade. It seems that a jeep is easier to sale then a camper.
Sunday was great as I went back to church for the first time since bedrest like 10 weeks ago. Maybe even longer. We tried to be there by 9 and it was a little after 10 when we got there. It was great just being back. We had an awesome family over for dinner Sunday night. We hope we didnt scare them off and they will continue to hang out with us. I know this is forever long but alot happens in a week. Justin starts football this week and Jaelynn starts her first season of soccer soon so we are going to be very busy soon.

Morgan and Mason 5 weeks today.

2007-07-17T18:25:00.000-04:00

I can not believe my baby boys are 5 weeks old already. Then again I can't believe my oldest is 6 either. These babies were sent straight from heaven. They are so good. They have such little personalities already it is amazing to watch them grow. I am trying hard to enjoy them knowing they are my last and hopefully once life slows down a little I will be able to. I had the babies laying on the floor and was taking pictues of them and Justin really wanted to lay down and take one with them. So we made it into a group photo. What you didnt see was Sawyer pulling on Mason's ears and giving him sniffing kisses. He likes to smell the babies when he is kissing them. So long for now.

What a summer 2007 has been for our family. We welcomed our 2 little boys Mason and Morgan on June 12. Justin, Jaelynn, Sadler and Sawyer have had a blast at our community pool so far. My mom takes them just about every day. They have been mistaken for blue eyed Indians with the dark tans they have. We have had a lot of family come in to visit and see the newest and last additions. Scott's dad and grandmother, his mother and sister, my mom and dad, my brothers and their other halves and we have more family coming the end of July. I cant believe school starts here on Aug. 13. I am dreading that day. It will definitely be a reality check when there is an alarm set and a designated time to be somewhere. Thank goodness my mom will be here that week so I can somewhat start a routine.

Kenny Wall visiting from Owensboro, KY Scott's grandmother Barbara came up to see all the kids also.

My brother Josh and girlfriend (Jenn 2) took the kids to the zoo with Memaw, Pappy and daddy.
