Braxton & Emma getting Easter pic's made

At Portrait Innovations getting the kids pictures taken for Easter. They did good the first few, then as you can see they got quite cranky. But over all they turned out pretty good.























Not happy! Lol

Baking Cakes till 4:00am

Yes you read the title right, I'm just now done with baking cakes for Bro. Rankin to take to the judge, clerks, and whoever else for me tomorrow!! Already being on probation and then two months later getting another ticket, and doing 21 mph over at that, isn't good. Hopefully double probation is an option for me (I know it has been for me in the past ). If it isn't I may as well find a good dependable taxi cab service to use for the rest of my life, yes it will be THAT bad!!! Thanks to my mom who surprised me and bought everything I needed





And to my sweet son who hung with me till 2:00 am saying he was going to use his cookie cutters to help me





I have a terrible weakness for raw cake batter






P.S. What would we do without Bro. Mike Rankin?!?! Prolly sitting in jail somewhere

Play Day at Lakeshore

Took the Braxton, Patch & Smudge for a walk, then let Braxton play at the playground. The puppies have never seen a duck before and it was pretty comical to watch! I left my phone in the car for the walk so I missed some good stuff, like while I was letting the dogs drink from the pond I turned to look for Braxton & he had his pants & undies down just using the bathroom like it was no big deal ! Cars driving by, people walking, I couldn't help but laugh! He said,"Well, I got to pee." He has this whole potty thing figured out to a T now!

My niece Emma Grace

About 6 months ago my sister and her husband were blessed with being able to adopt. Its been a long road, but they didn't get to where they are without Gods help and the prayer of many people! There's so many good pictures it was hard 2 choose which ones to put on here!!

Doggie Park

It's such a beautiful day that I couldn't stay inside and with all the rain our poor dogs have been stuck in their pens. So took 3 of them to the doggie park and of course they found the mud hole but they had fun!!














Patch & Smudge love water!!

Mid America

I enjoy helping with the youth, watching them pray and mature in God. Everything from the trips to the hard, hands on work, what helps is having good help there with you! We have great youth leaders, I have to say I miss some badly since they've moved off, but glad of what God is doing in their life!!





After Mid America at IHOP

Mid America

First of all it ended to soon!!!! Or Maybe when your busy it seems like it's over in a blink of an eye. But I had a good time with old friends, I saw my good friend I use to go 2 church with in Guy. Rachelle and I have been friends for many years, she even lived with us one summer, then she got married and moved to Tulsa. A bitter sweet day that was!
