On the Mend and Other Stuff

Rhett is finally well! It was a rough go for many days!

When he was sick, he ran a really high fever on an off for over a week and it caused him to break out in an awful rash.

We also had to visit the Dr. multiple times and even made a trip to the ER late one night.

We are SO happy and SO thankful that our baby is back to his happy, cheerful self!

The girls had a friend spend the night. When I woke up Sat. morning, Conn and all 3 girls were gone. This is the pic that was texted to me. Made me laugh that they're still in jammies (non-matching, of course) and that their hair is all a mess. Only with daddy. ;)

Look who's sitting all big and stuff!

Tues. and Thurs., the boys and I pretty much stay home all day. When Rhett is napping, Cash and I like to hang out together. This is where you'll usually find us chilling.

They are starting to play together a little. Makes me smile.

One of the many reasons I love having girls!
Early Sat. morning donut run...

Sweet baby has some teeth popping through. He loves him some popsicles!

When Rhett was sick, one of Conn's sweet assistants at work made dinner for us! So sweet!

I have recently started this. I'm on Day 3. Enough said!!

We had some Spring cleaning done on our backyard. They tore down the beloved playhouse. It has been truly loved for many years. But, was showing its wear and tear though.

This pretty much sums up our crazy life right now! Ha!

Fun on the Farm

Over Spring Break, Conn took off of work for a couple of days and we took the kids to the farm. It was perfect weather and fun was had by all! There was a lot of playing and relaxing. The kids almost didn't know what to do with all the freedom they had.
The Darby and Mckellar families came up one day. Thankful for a great day with sweet friends.

This sweet boy is going on week 2 of having the flu. He has been so, so sick! We have had many dr.'s appointments and even ended up in the ER last night. Since he is so young, there is really nothing they can give him unless it ends up in his lungs. Thankfully, it has not. They are just letting it run its course. Well, that has been SO not fun!! His fever comes and goes and his cough is awful. He is just plain miserable! We are just praying for relief and for all of this to end soon.

These were taken before the flu set in. Ready to have this happy baby back.

SUYL - Mom's of Big Families

I am linking up over at Kelly's Korner for a SUYL - Mom's of Big Families post.

Thanks for stopping by! :)


These are my 4 little loves! Lily is 7, Maggie will be 6 in April, Cash is 3 and Rhett is 6 months. When Conn and I got married (and even when we were engaged) there was constant talk of having a large family. We always said that we wanted 6 kids. Well, 4 kids later, we can both 100% say that we are G-O-O-D! Our life is full and our life is blessed! 2 girls and 2 boys! Seriously, what could be more perfect?! Rhett has made the perfect little caboose for our family. Having 4 has truly rocked my world...not gonna lie! But, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Thank you, Lord, for my sweet family!

Piano

Lily has just recently started taking piano lessons. She LOVES it!! I have never taken piano, so I have no clue about any of it. But, I must say that I am kind of impressed at what she has learned from just 2 lessons. She loves all things music! So, this is right up her alley! I hope she keeps it up and it becomes a life long passion for her.

Week 1


Week 2

All Things Texas

Here is Houston, we have what is known as "Go Texan Day". I've lived here since I was 5, but have never put much thought into it. It's just always been around and happens during the months of Feb. and March. Anyway, all of our schools take part by dressing up as cowgirls and cowboys and celebrating all things Texas!

2 pretty cowgirls...

Cash got him some new boots. He loves them, to say the least!

Also, during these months, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is taking place. I LOVE going to the rodeo and seeing the great concerts. This year, we were able to see Lady Antebellum and The Band Perry. They were both SO great!!!

Lady A with the McKellar's...

The Band Perry with my man...
I love being a Texan! :)

The stars at night - are big and bright
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The prairie sky - is wide and high
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The sage in bloom - is like perfume
Deep in the heart of Texas.
Reminds me of - the one I love
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The cowboys cry - ki-yip-pie-yi
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The rabbits rush - around the brush
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The coyotes wail - along the trail
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The doggies bawl - and bawl and bawl
Deep in the heart of Texas.
