So that's the title of this blog since I've not written in 2 weeks! What the heck? I just don't think about it. Plus I don't figure there are but about 3 people that read it anyway, so who cares? But Cathy put me in my place last night by texting me BLOG, BLOG, BLOG, BLOG!! So here it is :)
Last weekend we went to the CC Fair parade in Mulberry which was SO much fun! The kids got so much candy...it was insane! So I gave them some but threw most of it away, b/c I am a mean mommy who doesn't want my kids eating candy all day and having rotten teeth. I mean it was ridiculous how much they had. They really got to eat a lot of it, but I couldn't let them have it all. Yikes! So after the parade, we all went to mom and dad's and mom had made beans and homemade cornbread. Amazing!! Man it was delicious!! Dad challenged mom to see if she can 'burn us out' on the cornbread b/c it was so good and he wants it everyday. It's got more calories than a cake I swear. I think Paula Deen would be impressed with how much butter and sugar was in it. Rob LOVED it!! He's pretty much asked for it everday since :)
Sunday we went to church and then to Sallisaw to check on the new race horses Rob bought at the OKC Heritage sale last week. We love horse racing and getting new horses and seeing what they can do. It's a lot of fun! Sunday nights are always rather boring around here b/c we just kinda stay home and relax. We ordered Chili's and ate it here at the house and just got ready for another week!
This week has been a lot of fun! I am absolutely loving this weather. I mean I like really hot weather, too, but this has been perfection! We can pretty much play outside all night when it's 80 degrees. When it's 100 we have to take breaks! So we've done a lot of that. Tuesday night we went to see The Lion KIng 3D. AWESOME!!! That's probably my all time favorite movie so I loved it. And last night we were sitting at the kitchen table and Cash said 'Lion King was awesome.' So I know they all enjoyed it too.
My mom and dad brought pizza over last night so we stayed here and ate and played all night. I tell you what, Caden and Cash are so fired up and wild at night! I think they really miss each other during the day b/c at night they are all about playing with each other and really getting after it! They wrestle and kick and punch like crazy! But what fun would it be if they didn't?? :)
Anyway, this weekend brings on a fun fun birthday party tomorrow night that we've beeen invited to. It's superhero theme and gonna have bounce arounds and fun stuff! So I'm sure I'll be eating my weight in cupcakes and sweets! I swear, I am a sweets fanatic! It's ridiculous. That is where all of my calorie intake comes from. Oh well, I can't help it!
Ok, hope you all have a great weekend!
Loving this wonderful life we have been blessed with!

Tired mommy at the end of this week :)
Wow what a fun week we have had!! I honestly can't remember Monday b/c that's just too long ago. But I do remember Tuesday! So that's where we will start. Also, pictures that go along with this blog are in the previous post, so I'm not going to re-post them. Just scroll through them and then this will all go together. Oh now I remember Monday...it was Labor Day! We spent the whole day together just the 5 of us hanging out around the house and playing outside....pretty much our favorite thing!
Tuesday I had a bunch of errands to run so I took Camryn and Cash to daycare for the day. I take them 1 or 2 days a week so they can learn a little and have some social interaction with kids their age. I ran my errands and then went to pick them up. Tuesday night Rob and I had a date at Beef O Brady's!! It was awesome....mostly because of the great friends and the awesome music courteosy of Heath Wright (lead singer for Ricochet). Oh he is just so good!! It was a lot of fun. The crowd was so much fun with Patty, Trudy, Teresa and their significant others, and my mom and dad, Jered/Tash, Luke/Em, and Trina and her daughter, and Uncle Dave and Aunt Darlene!! What a fun crowd!! So we got there around 7:00 and Heath played til after 10. We had to split about 9:45 which meant we missed Daddy's Money but ah well...had kiddos to pick up.
Wednesday was my day to spend with Camryn. We didn't do much of anything really...mostly just hung around the house. Or I should say if we did do much of anything I can't remember it! I swear I have the worst memory anymore!
Thursday Camryn and Cash went back to daycare, so I got the rest of my running done. Picked the kids up that afternoon and came home to play outside. We got cleaned up and ready around 6:00 and headed to Sister's in VB for our 2nd leg of the Heath Wright tour! The kids went to this one and I'm so glad they did. It was a fabulous time!! We stayed out way to late considering we had 3 kids with us, but for one night I figured it was ok. Around 10, Heath played Daddy's Money and the boys literally sang every word right along with Heath. They LOVE that song! It was so much fun!! The kids were absolutely perfect all night. They were so well behaved! Needless to say everyone slept very well that night.
Friday I stayed home with Cash and Camryn. At noon every Friday I play tennis with a few ladies. So I got to the club and was walking through the lobby area when I spotted....Dierks Bentley! That's right...there he was walking toward the gym to get a workout in. I walked up to him and said 'you're Dierks Bentley aren't you?' I told him I would not make a big deal about him being there b/c I didn't want to draw attention to him since he was just coming to work out. I asked him to take a picture with me and he did!! It's on the other post as well. Anyway we played our tennis and about an hour into it, he walked by and waved. He obviously LOVES me. Haha!! No but it was really cool!! He was pretty quiet, but again, I think he was trying not to be noticed.
Friday evening we went to El Celaya for dinner and got cupcakes for dessert. I have the worst eating habits of all time....it's ridiculous.
Saturday was a fun day around here. We rode the horse, played basketball, jumped on the trampoline, played on the swingset, and spent the whole day around the house. We all got in a short little nap in the middle of the afternoon, too! Then last night I cooked pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls and corn for dinner. That's Caden's favorite meal. I know, I know...pork chops? But if you fry them for about 5 minutes on each side then put them in the oven in a pan with mushroom gravy and milk, they are very tender and delicious!!
After dinner we just relaxed and watched TV til bedtime. Today we got up all raring to go for church and ended up not getting ready in time to go. It was ridiculous! So while we sat here in boredom, Rob said we should head to Claremore to the horse races. And that's just what we did. We loaded Camryn up and headed to OK. We went to the races for about 2 or 3 hours and then headed to Woodland Hills Mall...thank you very much! I love that mall! Anyway, I did a little damage there and then we went to TX Roadhouse for dinner. It was excellent but here I am 3 hours later, miserably full! Oh well, that's how my weekends usually go. Workout and eat light through the week only to eat like a pig and feel stuffed on Sunday night! Whatever...that's the way it goes.
Anyway, we don't have too much planned this week. In fact, nothing at all that I can think of, and that's just fine with me. I love the simplicity of sitting on the back deck and watching the kids play outside! Life is fabulous!!!!

FUN WEEKEND!!
Well it was another fabulously fun weekend around here! I swear I have the worst memory of all b/c I'm having to think really hard about what we did Friday night! That's ridiculous. After 3 kids my memory is just pretty much shot. So after just asking my husband, now I can remember! Cash and Camryn stayed home with me and we played around the house. We picked Caden up from school around 3:30 and headed to Mulberry to swim for a little bit. Rob was in Sallisaw at the horse barn all day, so we headed down to my parents house. After about an hour of swimming we all decided to head to Roland for dinner at El Celaya....our favorite place!! It was delicious as always but crazy busy. I guess was like the Roland/Muldrow football game so everyone was eating there. Oh well, we had fun. Came home and just messed around the house before bedtime.
Saturday was an early morning for me since my little kindergartener thought 6:40 was a good time to wake up. What a little stinker!! I was so sleepy but he always comes straight to my bed and gets me up with him. Oh well, I enjoy those tender moments with him when it's just the 2 of us, even if it's bright and early! So around 10 my brother called and wanted us to go to Fayetteville with him to shop. So we loaded up the kiddos and did just that. Unfortunately we started the trip off with the boys getting in big trouble! They decided coloring the interior of Rob's car would be a good idea but as you might guess....it was NOT!! So after that bit of chaos, it was a very good trip. All 3 of the kids were EXCELLENT all day! We went to the mall and shopped for about an hour and then headed to Steak and Shake for lunch. I was a bit reluctant of that place but it was actually really good! Saturday evening we just hung around the house and relaxed. It was a really good day!
Sunday we got up and headed to church. It was a great service as usual! We are on a series of sermons about 'stepping up' and how to make changes in our life by doing so. Sunday was on relationships and how to step up in ours and it was very good. After church we headed to the mall for Rob to check Dillard's sales! He got some good bargains. He's a really smart shopper I tell ya! Me....not so much! Oh well, it balances out! After that we headed to Mulberry for the final MAVA showdown of summer 2011. Yes that's right...MAVA--it is its own entity. By the way that stands for Mulberry Aquatic Volleyball Association....it's a fancy way of saying pool volleyball. So me and Rob headed down and Jered/Tasha and Emily/Luke came as well. And we got Camryn down for her nap and mom came out to play, too. So teams were me, Luke, Emily and mom vs. Rob, Jered and Tasha. The first game started out pretty ugly but we made it respectable before getting beat. Second game I think we won by 2 points and 3rd game was for all the MAVA marbles! It was really close and then there was an iffy call at like 18-17 that went our team's way. So anyway, mom ended up serving it out and we won like 21-17. It was SO MUCH FUN!!
After all of the playing we had a cookie cake to celebrate! Then around 5 or so we headed home. I had eaten myself into a sickness! I mean we had Mazzio's pizza for lunch and then topped it off with cookie cake. Gee whiz!! Enjoyed it but man I felt stuffed all night! Then last night we just hung around the house and enjoyed the weather.
Today was a fabulous, wonderful day! We had an awesome day!! The weather was amazing for outside play and we soaked it up!! The kids have a pretty nice playground in the backyard and a trampoline, and we've gotten our money's worth out of both! So we played outside in 3 spurts today...morning, afternoon and evening. So much fun! This morning we played for about an hour then went to the athletic club to work out. They have a really great daycare there that the kids love to play in. It's usually a fight to get them to leave! Then we had lunch and took a short nap. At dinner time we decided to have a picnic b/c the weather was so great! It was so much fun! I LOVE FAMILY TIME! We have so much fun together and I so thoroughly enjoy spending time with these 4 people. After dinner we played football and it was such a blast! It was boys vs. girls! Camryn was hilarous trying to chase after the boys. We really had a great time!
So now it's time to get some sleep before the week starts. We have a couple of things planned this week, but nothing major. Tomorrow night Rob and I are going to Beef O'Brady's to listen to some live music with family and friends. We are looking forward to that! Hope you all have a great week and enjoyed this reading!
I'm gonna post pics from my phone b/c I haven't done too great of a job taking them with my camera lately. I do have these 2 from us going to church.
