Spelling bee pro

We as you all so we are always so proud of our children. This is just another reason why. Leighton qualified for the spelling bee again this year. I only wish i could spell like her...SHe studied really hard and we practiced all the time. I unfortunaly wasnt able to make it this year because i was in Michigan but luckily she had her Dad, Bicki, Uncle Mike and her brothers to cheer her on. She ended up taking 4th which we are EXTREMELY proud of. She even made it through all the second grade words and into 3rd grade words. Oh yeah. Check out her headband. IT is so funny. I put it on her and fix her hair and it always ends up loking like this. I think she likes it cause she NEVER fixes it. ;)

Cute Girl. LOVE the Headband action!

Waiting Patiently

Leighton always plays with her hair. Especially when she is Nervous. I do the same thing.

Spelling like a champ

The point of no return

You know you are reaching it when you have to go into your 7 year old daughter' room and borow nail polish because she has a MUCH BIGGER selection than you. I think i just got a glimpse of what life is going to be like. LOL. Did i mention I LOVE having a daughter!!!!

Monster Truck Race

This past weekend Alvarado hosted a MONSTER TRUCK RACE. Well ofcourse we had to take the boys. Leighton didnt want to go so she had a sleep over with Mawmaw. It was loud, a little cold but totally great and the boys had a great time. We went with Mike and our friends Ken and Marie. It was their first time out since having sweet little Devyn the day before Thanksgiving. You will never guess what steven did...

He Fell asleep!!! Only him
He had so much fun

Steven was getting tired at this point

Boys birthday pictures

Well i cant believe that in less than 2 weeks our boys will be 5. They are having their party at the farm that we went to last year. They loved it and had so much fun. The theme this year is John Deere so of course we had to take pics on a John Deer tractor. Let me know what you think. Thank you to Brandons Parents for letting us use it and to Krystie for taking us out there. Yall are the Best Friends!!!

Waiting in line for a ride

Steven was concentrating on something else.

This year the kids got to go to holiday in the park for the first time. Vicki was lucky enough to get free tickets from work and since i had to work she took the kids. They had such a great time. We were so thankful that they had the opportunity to do something so fun. Now dont worry. Vicki didnt take 3 kids to six flags by herself. Mike Bannister went with her and she met up with her friend Liza so there were 3 adults and 3 kids. It worked out perfect. It also makes me a little sad cause you can tell that they are all growing up so fast. They are even tall enough to ride ALL the rides and would you believe that they all three rode the Judge Roy Scream. So Big!
