So once again I realize I have neglected this blog. I think about getting around to it, and think about how I am missing out on the chance to document our lives. So I will give it another shot, because frankly its never too late. A lot has happened since June but I am not going to recap it all because it would be too long:-) But my daughters are growing and learning so much every day.

It's been too long!
Well life has got away from me and I haven't kept up with this blog at all. SO my goal is to start posting again, maybe even more than once a month. I am just going to give a little recap of the past few months. Really just so I can remember later on.
April my Sister Stephanie added another boy to her family, his name is Levi and he is PRECIOUSNESS he is a perfect addition to their adorable family.
May was a busy month. We celebrated my Mom's birthday at my house this year. Steph and I created a Mary Engelbreit themed brunch tea party. We decorated in a whimsical, ME style with red and yellow, polkadots, and ME sayings popping up in different areas throughout the decorations. We served tea, juice, a delicious breakfast casserole, oven baked french toast, fruit, and muffins. I bought a bunch of bird houses for everyone to paint and take home for the make and take. It was lots of fun with lots of memories.
Then On May 8th we celebrated Mothers Day, Dereck and Zach grilled steaks and had all the fixings for a wonderful meal that the ladies didn't prepare or clean up after. This was my 2nd Mothers Day. I am so thankful for my two daughters who have made me a mommy.
On May 9th Miss Jessie Ann celebrated her 2nd birthday, we had some cupcakes at daycare then we got Pizza because thats what she requested we eat. Then we took the girls to the park then to get ice cream.
On the 15th we had a 2nd Birthday Barnyard Bash for Carson and Jessie at the park, we had lots of fun planning a joint party complete with fun activities like wagon rides, games, and a craft. Stephanie made some adorable animal cupcakes, and we had a good ole time.
The next weekend Dereck and I went to Tulsa for a Weekend to Remember Marriage Conference. We had an amazing time and learned so much. We came home refreshed. While we were there Dac and Alisha babysat the girls and they all seemed to have a really great time. I am so thankful for them!Jasmine, my Mom, Zander and I headed to topeka for a very short visit on Natalies 5th Birthday. It was so fun visiting with my sister even if it was short. Natalie had a surfer girl party and it was a blast Adrianne is amazing!
And here we are already in June. We celebrated our anniversary on June 5th, we have been married for 7 years now! Hasn't always been easy but I wouldn't pick anyone else to have gone through everything with. We painted our house the 2nd weekend in June and had the help of some really great people, all we have left is the trim. I have a small amount of kids in my daycare this summer and I am so happy about it. I am really enjoying my girls and trying to do more fun things with them. We went to the lake last Friday evening and had a picnic, and then let the girls play on the beach in the sand and also in the water. They had a blast and Jazzy has been talking about it non stop. Then on Saturday we went to Ponca and the girls got to spend the day with their Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Zach and cousins, they got to go to the lake again with them...lucky little girls:-) We went to a wedding that night. So there we have it, the past few months recapped. I am sure there was so much more I could of added but I can't rememeber everything! My goal is to post pics very very soon. Hope you are enjoying your summers!

Branson and a Birthday
So its true, I turned another year older. I had been talking to Dereck about what we should do to celebrate and I told him I would love to take the girls to Branson...I knew it was not going to happen that is just what sounded so fun. Dereck decided to surprise me and make all the arrangements to go, all the way to getting a substitute for my daycare. Friday we loaded up our car, and our girls and hit the road. We made our traditional stop in Coffeyville for breakfast, and then stopped in Springfield so we could go to Bass Pro Shop. We had a blast looking at all the fish and wildlife, Jessie also fell in love with a purple hat, and Jasmine insisted on taking a picture with the old guy holding a fish statue.
After Bass Pro we headed to Lamberts and waited for an hour so we could eat some delicious food and drink some sweet tea. We then headed to Branson. We did a little shopping and then headed to the hotel. Dereck got us a room at the Raddison and it was so beautiful he asked for us to be on the top floor so the girls could look out the window and see all the lights that Branson displays. We are pretty sure riding the elevator made it on the favorite things to do in Branson list. Jasmine kept calling it a elgavator. After we were all checked in and freshened up we headed to the outlet mall and found the girls' easter dresses and swimsuits at the Carter and Gymboree stores. We then ate dinner at a pizza place and headed back to the hotel to swim, and get to bed so we could get up and go to Silver Dollar City. The next morning which happened to be March 19th my 27th Birthday the girls slept in till 6:30 and we got around, ate at IHOP, and then headed to SDC. It was a little chilly that day but we still had loads of fun. SDC just added a new childrens section complete with a merry go round, sand pit, miniature swings, and a huge climbing tree house. So we spent quite a bit of time there and then rode the train....which of course was a HUGE hit with both girls. We spent the whole day at SDC and then went back to the hotel for a small rest time. We then headed to The Landing, and enjoyed watching the water shows and shopping again. completely exausted we headed back to our hotel, but Jessie was not ready to be there she kept going to the door saying "go bye bye" so we took them outside in front and did some elevator(you can see the elevator on the outside of the hotel) and people watching. Finally we had enough and got the girls to bed. Sunday morning we packed up and headed to my Parents to celebrate with my family. Here are some pictures of our trip and fun times in March.
