Not a lot to say.

It's been a great week. 

Mattie has had football camp and pottery camp this week. 

We have some big plans for the weekend too!!!

More next week!!

God Bless!!

We just love picture day.

It's not just about keeping record of the growing belly, 

which has been great fun.

But it is also about keeping Phillip updated. 

Although he and Katie talk, face-time, and text daily,

I email him the picture every Thursday after I edit it. 

I try to get it emailed before they have their 

goodmorning/goodnight 

call. 

He calls the girls every morning when he wakes up to tell them good night. 

Tomorrow night, he will spend his first night in their new, old house! 

I can't wait to get pictures of the house after they have their stuff moved in. 

Until next time

God Bless!!

This week has been girls week.

Tiger has been out of town.

Grumpy has been out of town. 

When Mattie found out Lolo was home alone, she said

"Lolo, just stay with us this week! We'll have slumber parties every night!"

Well how do you say no to that?

So I have been at my mom's all week with my girls!

It's been fun!

Until next week

God Bless

WOW!!

It has been a VERY busy week.

Monday we celebrated Memorial Day. 

Well, celebrate isn't exactly the right word to use. 

We remembered all those that have given their all for this wonderful country we live in, 

and we also said goodbye to Phillip. 

He has moved to Germany. 

He is anxiously waiting for the rest of his family to arrive. 

Katie and Mattie spent one last night in the apartment before the movers came in and started packing everything up. 

The have moved in with Mom and will stay there until time for them to leave. 

They have almost got a schedule down to FaceTime with Phillip but it will be a little easier once school is out. 

Which is tomorrow!!

Mattie has one more day as a 3rd grader!!! 

She is growing way too fast!!

Next week she has two days at Maker Academy at ACU. 

She is really looking forward to that.

Next week, we can start to slow down and start enjoying the summer. 

We continue to get rain!! 

Thank you Lord!! 

There is a lot of flooding, 

but we have a few lakes that have not really gained any water.

We continue to pray that rains keeps coming until those lakes are full. 

Happy Summer!!

Until next week, 

God Bless. 

Mattie's Reaction to the Oops!

In March, I posted this about the gender reveal party we held for our family.

Here's the video of the reveal.

Mattie obviously was not happy about it being a baby girl.

An her face in this picture...

shows she is just not thrilled.


Last night I posted our weekly belly picture along with a big oops!

I couldn't get the video to post.

So as promised,

Here is Mattie learning there was a big mistake in revealing the gender of the baby!!







Though not nearly as exciting as the party video,

She is quite thrilled to learn it really is a boy!!

I've said it before, but I will say it again...

She is going to be an amazing big sister!!!

Until next time,

God bless.

It's been a fun week.

My girls and I spent time together every night. 

And Katie, Phillip and I finished off the week at the air show while Frank fished. 

Enjoy the pic!!!

God Bless!!!

Picture #11 and Pancackes

We are gradually getting back on track! 

Just two days late this week!!

Miss Phoebe is quickly growing, you can tell by that belly. 

Katie is feeling good, just tired.

Really tired. 

I think if she could. she would sleep 24/7.

But I guess she needs to rest now while she can, because as we all know, once Phoebe arrives mommy will be begging for rest.

Had a great day today at the Kiwanis Pancake day. 

Mattie B used to love to go eat pancakes and Mattie May does to. 

Ready to eat!!!

Ran into her friend Tat that she hasn't seen in a year.

She loved the funny names on the bag of the milk cartons. 

Until next time 

God Bless. 

Pic #8

Well, we're a day late getting the picture posted because SOMEONE had to do homework,

I jest. 

I am proud of the continuing education.

It is VERY important. 

And YES!!! We have a name!

Phoebe Isabelle Genette Holland

I can't wait to meet her!!! 

God Bless!!

Say What?!

Thursday is picture day around here!

So where's the picture?

Well someone says homework is more important than the picture. 

I guess they're right. 

I'll give them a pass this week. 

But I better get my picture tomorrow!!

 😘

Good night and,

God bless.
