We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. I know we did. I tried very hard to get a picture of My Cowboy and I before church. We looked so cute in our pink/black/white outfits but he wouldn't do it....maybe it was because it was 7AM!!!

Here we are after church at mom and dad's

Shelby and I

We had a fabulous meal of BBQ, potato salad, cole slaw and my Cornbread salad. So yummy, I'll have to share the recipe later this week. After lunch, we decided to have a mini photoshoot, HA!!

I never knew taking pictures with a 16 year old girl could be so entertaining.

It started with Shelby and Jacob. They will have prom next month. I can't wait to see her dress she always looks gorgeous.

If only everyone could be like Cole and I. When we see a camera we automatically, SMILE!!!

Then mom wanted a picture of all of us.

Take 1

Until she felt a "snake" on her shoe.....it was actually a stick.

Take 2. Don't know......

Take 3

Take too many to count

Mom and I

The photographer

It was great to spend time with my grandmothers. Oh the stories they can tell!!

Me and Grandma K

Christ the Lord is risen today,

Sons of men and angels say.

Raise your joys and triumphs high;

Sing ye heavens and earth reply.

7. Absolutely, can't wait until the day we can share with you our journey to parenthood. We are awaiting God's blessing. Until then, I am a wife that does love her Cowboy. We do everything together. He is my best friend and I couldn't see my life anywhere else. We can't wait to share our love.

Weekend of Fun!!

We had an eventful weekend.

We had to have a picture of the baby!!!

Getting ready for Spring Fun!! This is a wide shot of our backyard from the front gate.

We built a chicken coop for our 1o feathery babies.

I am so proud of my Cowboy. We woke up with absolutely NO idea what in the world we were doing. We put our minds together and created one AWESOME lil coop!!

Most importantly, the total cost was $4.09 for staples for the staple gun. We used things we had lying around.

Cowboy was taking camera phone pictures to share with his dad and brother. One happy boy!!

I was certainly there too!!!

We had a birthday celebration for my dad.

His fav...angel food cake.

A birthday card from the kiddos. It said ...Love, Cole, Courtney and Jason

Oh and Remington too. He loves his Pa.

Now dad can get something for himself or the yard. It will probably be something for the yard though. He loves his plants. That's where I get this from.

Dad and I
