Bogle park pictures

Every year I have taken Easter/SPring pictures at Bogle Park. The scenery is amazing!!
The day I took the girls, it was super hot, so the pictures didn't turn out as good as I had hoped, but that it just the way it goes!!
I love this picture because the girls are in step with eachother.
I added this one in just because I think it is funny. Everytime I tried to get a picture with Nat and Elz together, Elz would "flip-out!"

My Cute Girls

Here are some random pictures of my girls.
This is Nat and Elz visiting with a home-bound member of our church, Mrs. Holland.
We try to visit her every 4-6weeks and have really enjoyed getting to know her.
Nat was supposed to be helping her dad clean the vehicles, but opted to wash her own toys instead. "Much more fun" she said.
Oh- wait she is washing ONE tire. Way to go Natalyn!!!
Elia looks so proud of herself, huh? This is what she was up to when I found her in the kitchen. She literally pulled all the food boxes out of a cabinet. But she didn' stop there. She then proceeded to rip open most of the closed boxes and pull out the contents. NICE MESS!!! But look at that grin. Elia loves books!! Too bad she is alittle rough on them. They don't seem to last very long!!Here is Natalyn reading a bible story to lil'sis.

Getting in shape!

Something that I have always enjoyed is being in shape. I am not one of those types that lives at the gym for 19 hours a day or anything, about 45 min to an hour is all I can take. The big thing has always been that I was consistent. I really do think that is the key!! Well, last December, my girls literally caught every virus/germ that was flying through the air in NWA! This threw my "consistency" out the window. I did not do any type of exercise for most of Dec, Jan, Feb and the first half of March!! I really felt awful for not doing anything, exercise does make me feel better, it just seemed so hard to get back into the habit of heading to the gym! Well, here in NWA we are having summer-like weather so a few weeks ago I got out my summer clothes and then flipped-out! The scale had not changed over the "winter" , but boy did my clothes fit differently!!!!! I totally freaked out! I guess all those cookies and Dr Pepper and no treadmill time caught up with me!!!!!! So I decided that day that it was time to get to the gym. So......anyway.....I am proud to say that I have worked-out 5 days a week for the past 2 weeks. I already feel ALOT better!- So.......this is my first post on my journey back to getting in shape. I encourage anyone to just throw on some tennis shoes and get moving!!!

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY!!!

Is anyone else going crazy because it has rained EVERYDAY this week?!?!
Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for the rain, but EVERYDAY! I thought I would just post a few pics from last week when the girls were enjoying the beautiful weather. I just laugh when I think that the girls have a swing set and a trampoline yet all they want to do is dig holes in the dirt with their .97 shovel and buckets!!

Sleep over



Last weekend Natalyn had her first ever sleep over! She invited her BFF Mia and they had such a great time. They both wore their Rapunzel dresses 95% of the time. Natalyn told Mia that they were going to wear their dresses all day and all night and Mia thought that was the best idea ever!! I bought the girls a canvas each and they painted for almost an hour working on their masterpieces!! I was so proud of them. Natalyn has been friends with Mia for almost 3 years now and they just love to spend time together!!
And poor ol' Elia Rose felt nothing but rejection the entire time!!! 5 year olds do not want to play with 1 year olds!!!! The big girls did include Elia when they wanted to play in HER room with HER stuff though!!!
