AND THE BLESSINGS KEEP COMING

For those of you who have ever been excited about being an AUNT...then you will definitely appreciate this blog!

I AM AN AUNT!!! I haven't even gotten to meet my new neice, but I am thrilled and of course she is absolutely perfect!! My brother - Clayton and sis - in - law Amanda - had their first child on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at 3:57 pm! She was 8#1oz and 20 inches long and is BEAUTIFUL!!

This isn't the best quality picture - but you can still see how beautiful she is! Such tiny features! I almost forgot... her name is KAYCIN GRACE FARRELL! Thanks for sharing in my new found joy!!:)

ROCK CHALK - JAYHAWK KU!!

We love sports in our house, especially college BASKETBALL--check that KU basketball! Adam is a huge KU bball fan and I just kinda got hooked to cheering for them along the way! Tonight Memphis vs. Kansas for the National Championship!!!! Kinzie made signs - dressed in her cheerleading skirt and KU shirt - grabbed her pom-poms and prepared to cheer her heart out (for the team her daddy loves)! I'll admit I lost hope a few times, but as any GREAT team can and does - they found a way to win! Sorry Clayton maybe you should have painted your face!!

In the words of my favorite coach - UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

Kinzie was so proud of her signs!! She cheered until she was too tired to cheer anymore!!

Jackson was so cute he would say "Yes" everytime KU scored!! As the final minutes ticked away

EASTER BUNNY FUN

I know this is a little late, but oh well!! Time kinda escapes me these days! WE had a great Easter weekend! Adam's family came to visit! We dyed Easter eggs - had a unique, but delicious lunch - then hunted eggs! Just a few pictures:

Fun times!

Church was amazing on Easter Sunday! I think our church has some of the best singers around!
What an awesome God we serve! hope everyone had a happy Easter!

FIRST TOOTH

Towards the end of Spring Break - Kinzie lost her first tooth!! She was just soooooo excited! She wouldn't let anyone pull it - because it just had to fall out by itself!! It was kinda gross just hanging there, but noooo! Luckily it came out while she was brushing her teeth!






P.S. she now has another loose tooth--that's just hangin'

IT'S A ......

Okay - I know EVERYONE has been waiting to hear what we are having! Well we went to the Doctor Monday had the sonogram and doc visit!!
We are having a BOY!!
It is crazy to think that I had a feeling that it was a boy all along, but to actually hear the words "I see boy parts" just blew my mind! We are very, very, very excited. J-man is going to have a play mate and Kinz has come to grips with being the Princess of the Family! (Sorry to spoil your plans Lolo and Kinz, but hey we can still say that we are family)!:(

Praise God that everything looks great! He is 15 ounces and still very small! My blood pressure is still normal and things are fine! The 4-D wasn't pretty, but it was still cool to see him! He loves to kick and punch(look out J-man)! We also saw him open his mouth too cool!!

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

Our Small Group got together on Super Bowl Sunday to watch the game and pig out on foods that should never be consumed all at once! Needless to say, it was fantastic!! Here is a photo docuementation of the evening...

What's a super bowl party without a quiz...My dad ended up winning!!!

Some of our small group enjoying the game Adam - Becky - Dad - Mark - Stacey - Chris and Amy
And of course our kiddos had a BLAST as always!!






















JACK AND CLAEB NEED TO GROW UP FAST - TO SAVE J-MAN FROM THESE CRAZY GIRLS!!!:)

What's a kid to do....

OKAY so it's Saturday morning--everyone is just kicking back relaxing - watching a little BBall on TV - the kiddos are busy playing in their rooms...or so we thought...

It rained hard all night Friday and early Saturday morning! Kinzie and Jackson decided they wanted to take a trip! On their way to Kansas they had to stay in a hooo-teell(insert thick ET accent here)! Well at that hotel, naturally they had to take advantage of the swimming pool! After a LLLOOOOONNNNGGGG dip-they slept(still in their swimsuits) and got up the next day to visit Grandma and Grandpa Norton(still in their swimsuits)! They had a lovely visit and decided to come back home! The last they checked in they were headed to OKLAHOMA!!(dressed in normal clothes) What world travelers...and all by themselves!
Don't you just love rainy day playing!!!
