Daddy Dates!

Jason took Taylor out on a date. They went to feed the duck and spend time together just the two of them. Jason's such a cute Daddy. He's got a huge soft spot for his little miss...It's pretty hard not too! Taylor wanted Jason to take pics of her in the tree. Jason said she just kept posing and posing!



Every girl should have special dates with Daddy. Growing up I remember having those with my Dad. One of my many fond memories about my childhood includes my dad and our Daddy Daughter Date in Young Women's. We dressed up in 50's outfits. I remember my Dad looking very similar to a T-Bird. I thought he was amazing to play the part so well. I wish I had a picture to post. I know there is one somewhere! I was all decked out in my pink poodle skirt that my mom made for me. What a fun and special night for me.

Mary Kay Skin Care

My Mom helped out a friend by having a Mary Kay Night. He got to try their skin care products! We had lots of fun together! Aren't we just the cutest!

Makeovers Anyone??

Taylor and her little friends wanted to play with her makeup. So they sat outside and got a little spiced up!
Boy oh Boy are they Beautiful!

BMX Rider Karson

Karson loves to ride his bike! He also loves to go off his jump. He usually has the whole neighborhood out there watching him. Then all of the kids start trying it......my stomach drops every time. I'm so scared someone will wipe out!

Sisters by Chance Friends by Choice

We are three sisters
Three sisters are we
I love each of you,
And I know you love me

We’re not always together,
Life sometimes keeps us apart.
But we're never separated
We’re in each other's heart.

Now I know we've had our troubles,
But we always get thru.
The real message is you love me,
And I also love you.

We have had lots of good times
That we'll never forget
Sometimes we worry
And sometimes we fret

But if God ever gave me
Something special you see,
It might have been the blessing of,
Three sisters are we.

The Lord above has gave me lots
Of happiness and glee
But the most special thing he did was
Make us sisters, all three. I'm very lucky to have awesome sisters and sister-in-laws. Janiece, Kristi, Crystal, Mandy, Andrea, Lid, Nikki and Courtney. I can't imagine my life without you all! I love you guys tons!

First Day of School

Summer Ended Today.....The kids are back to schoolKarson started 1st grade this morning. I couldn't be more sad and happy all at the same time. This means Karson goes to school all day long 8:30-2:45. I'm not really ready to let him go yet. This is hard for me. I guess it just means my little guy is growing up! It's just happening to quickly. Karson's such a stud and has taught Jason and I so much that we are also way excited to see what else we can learn from him.
Karson sits next to one of his best friends. (The teacher already had it this way) I'm pretty sure she'll be changing that seating arrangement real soon!
Karson's cute little teacher in the back

This is Taylor's last year in preschool. So glad it's not everyday Kindergarten! She'll keep me busy at home reading and playing with her. She always says "Read with your child 15 minutes a day" She got that off of a TV commercial.....See TV is a great learning tool! lol
Taylor is in the same class with My Brother Bri's son BO! Taylor is so glad to already have a friend that she knows and loves.
Taylor sits right down to start her work.

I can't believe she'll be 5 in 5 weeks......That's my baby! :-(

Little Miss

Taylor had just gotten bathed and ready for bed. The kids both have a big tomorrow. Karson starts 1st grade and Taylor goes to preschool 3 days a week. But instead of getting right in bed Taylor had another idea...She decided to model her PJ's and asked me to take a picture of her. She's such a cutie. She did several different poses but this is the one she liked best.

Taylor Ann...I just love you!

Drinks and Snacks Anyone?.......Anyone?

Karson, Taylor and their cousin's Cooper and Hailee had a drinks and snacks stand at the park. It was a real slow start as we were the ONLY people at the park. But slowly kids came to the stand. Uncle Mike also came by for a nice cold cup of Kool-aid. Thanks for the support Mike! The kids were had a great time.




Poor Taylor was playing on the play ground and got stung by a stupid wasp! I hate those things my poor kids seem to always be the ones that get stung!

Karate Kid......aka.......Karson

Karson started Karate today. He takes it from our neighbor across the street who has a karate studio in her basement. He was a little bit nervous to start the classes. I asked him why he was nervous and he said "Well I want to do Karate but I don't want Sis. Fisher to Karate chop me" Isn't that the cutest!!!

A Baby Brett Day

Baby Brett was blessed on Sunday the 3rd of August. We are able to share this special day with them.
This is Brett's dad Jim Cooper and also our very good long time friend.
My cute family!! We all match and I didn't even plan it that way!
Don't we just look good with our new edition!!

Lagoon

Mike Ford has his work Lagoon Day last Friday. We didn't think we were going to be able to go but things worked out that we could be there. It was lots of fun to watch the kids get so excited. I'm not sure who was worse the little kids or the big kids Jason and Ray! Thanks Mike and Cathy for a fun day at Lagoon. I have always wanted to do this western dress up picture! So I dragged my family in to have it done. After we finished Taylor and I were changing and Taylor said okay Mom I did your picture now I want to do a "PRINCESS" picture! She's all girl!!!! Husdun, Brenner (both Nikki's sons) Karson and Taylor waiting for a ride. Jason, Brock (Ray's son), Ray, Hudsun and Nikki on the Wild Mouse. I later rode this ride with Hudsun. I swear to you I thought I was going to DIE!!! I closed my eyes the whole time and was sooooo afraid. Never again will I ever ride the Wild Mouse Karson and Taylor on a ride Grandma Ford and my two cuties on the train. Jason, Taylor and Karson Me and the kids Karson, Hudsun, Brenner and Grandma Ford on a ride. After Jason went on this one ride that blast you up on a tall tower then down quickly Karson ran to Jason hiding his face and feeling so concerned for his daddy. It was so sweet. Grandpa Ford and Little Miss enjoy some time at Lagoon. Taylor was so excited after she was so brave to ride a little ride she ran to tell me all about it. Taylor looking all calm and cool on the ride. Taylor and her side kick Hudsun ride some more rides together.
