No much going on!

2009-11-03T20:06:00.000-08:00

We have had no excitement the last few days in this household! Homework with Cade has been our biggest challange. He just does not have any desire to do it. Reading, no desire! Hope it clicks soon because this momma is getting super frustrated with him not working hard & pushing himself to learn more.
The little socialite in the house (Kinley) has a very busy weekend this weekend. She has 2 birthday parties & a girls night to the movies. Busy, busy!
Daniel on the otherhand has been rapped up in the World Series this week. He's like a kids in a candy store!
Will post more later when there is some news of our life!

Fell off the wagon! & Happy Halloween!

2009-11-01T18:59:00.000-08:00

Ok so I have offically fallen off the blog wagon. But, my life is not that intersting & I'm sure pretty much nobody reads this. Anyways it's a daily scrapbook of my family & our life. I hope to have it printed some day & my kids can read about some of the little things they might forget.

We had a great weekend Trick or Treating with some great friends. We had a nice little dinner & rounded the block to let the kids gather some candy. They had a blast! I think they had more fun handing out the candy than receiving it!

Daniel got a wild hair this weekend too & bought me a new car!!! I don't have it yet but will get it later this week! We got another Acadia (a white one)! I really loved my car & was not looking to buy but we got a good deal & it has leather (thank goodness! That is a must with kids!!!!!)

Here's a few pics from Halloween!!!

Today was a GREAT day!!

2009-07-21T13:52:00.000-07:00

We had a great day today! Started off with having a day off! The kids slept in (so therefore I took advantage of that & slept in too!) Watched a little news, got dressed & we went to the movies. It was pouring down rain so therefore our swimming plans went out the window!

We went to see Ice Age 3 in 3D. I was a pretty cute movie. I haven't seen a movie in 3D in a long time & it was pretty cool.

Off to take some pictures so I'll post some soon!!!

Have a great week!

Some photos I LOVE!! of this summer!!

2009-07-12T17:19:00.001-07:00

My sill boy being a "buckethead"!

The toothless grin!

I tooks some photos of the kids playing in the backyard playing on the 4th on their Slip & Slide.
I thought the photos turned out really cut (I did edit them on picnik) I am going to print these out larger & han them up in the house somewhere!! Enjoying our summer around here! Just about to melt in the heat though!!

Enjoy the photos!!

Super Summer 2009

I have posted a lot of pictures from the past month. Things that we have done during the month of June are Super Summer, VBS @ Nana's Church (FBC), Cade pulling his first tooth, both of them in a wedding, Kinley's state softball tournament, Cade learning to ride his bike without training wheels, enjoying the outdoors & eating plums off our tree.

Yum!

Summer is here!!

2009-06-13T07:58:00.000-07:00

Summer is officially here!! I'm so happy now that we can enjoy going to the pool, eat snowcones, and just relax. We have had a busy couple of weeks since the kids have been out of school. Kinley went to Camp Jam with Indian Springs Church the week before last & had a blast! They rent out Family Farm & do paddle boats, archery, go fishing, horseback riding, etc. She had so much fun! Last week she sent to Super Summer through the Benton School District and her classed included, "A Week on Ice" & "Science Alive".

Cade learned to ride his bike last weekend all by himself! One of the training wheels was broken off so he decided to break the other one off & just try with the metal post sticking out. By the time his daddy got home & was ready for them to come off & try it without training wheels!! He did so great! I was super proud of him! (I will post pictures later!!)

This week the kids went to Bible School @ FBC (Nana & Papa's church) between that & softball practice for Kinley we have had an extremely busy week. The kids are in a wedding this weekend & we will be heading out to the State Tournament (for Kinley) once they fulfill their wedding duties.

Another milestone we hit this week is Cade pulled his first tooth!!! He has another one that is about to come out too! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer & have a great Father's Day weekend! (Promise I will post pics soon!!)

Busy weekend

2009-05-27T20:00:00.000-07:00

We had a busy weekend this past Memorial Day weekend. It started Friday with my little boy graduating from preschool! I cannot believe he will start kindergarten this fall! Where has the time gone? Then Saturday Kinley had a softball tournament in Cabot. It was really fun! They got 3rd place! The rest of the weekend consisted of hanging out around the house & not doing much of nothing due to the rain. I'm so ready for a pretty weekend this weekend, maybe we can hit the pool!!!

My little softball player! Cheezin it up!

Cade-The preschool graduate! :( (He's getting too big!)

So nervous!

Love the nose crunched up!!!
We had a great weekend this past weekend! Not too much going on. Cade had a ballgame Saturday morning & then I let the kids play in the slip & slide in the afternoon! They had a blast! We will be super busy this weekend with preschool graduation on Friday & a ball tournament this weekend! I will take lots of pics & post next week!!

Enjoying the SUNshine!

The beautiful hanging basket Daniel got me for Mother's Day!

Cade's below/Kinley's above

Kinley giving me her mother's day gift that she made at school. It's her hand prints traced & they look like flowers but they are coupons that I can redeem for a free hug, free kiss, clean my room pass, etc. She was so proud of it and she kept it a secret until today! I'm so proud of her! And she lost her first top tooth this weekend (pulled it all by herself)!

Cade with his beautiful flower he made me for mother's day!

Best Buddies

Cade and his teacher Mrs. Kie

Making his "Mom's Day" gift for me! It is so cute! It's a flower with a piece of paper attached about things Cade thinks about me! According to him I am "5" years old, I am the prettiest when "she likes me", I like to cook "hamburgers", I always say "I love you to him", and I am the funniest when " I laugh at him"! Hope you all have a great Mother's Day!

Spring cuties!

2009-05-03T17:21:00.000-07:00

A few pics that I took last Sunday (yes, when it was pretty, warm, & sunny outside). Since I do not have any Easter photos of them in their easter attire I made Cade wear his again! He looks so cute! Kinley wanted to wear her new dress that her Nana got her over the weekend. She looks like such a grown up girl. My kiddos are growing up so fast I cannot believe it!

Love the Laughter

2009-04-26T19:23:00.000-07:00

Today was a beautiful day outside & we enjoyed it by taking the kiddos fishing after church. We had a great time. With camera in tow, a few rods & reels, a couple of packages of hot dogs, & some silly kids I was able to capture some great pictures. I absolutely love taking picture of everyday life. You can catch some of the greatest memories by not getting your kids to pose or drive yourself crazy by saying, " Look over here" ten thousand times. These are just some of my favorites! Enjoy!

Back in Business

2009-04-25T14:47:00.000-07:00

Over the last 2 weeks I have finally replaced my camera & computer. I'm still at a loss of the photos that I lost that were on my computer. All of our Easter morning pictures were on it & about a month of our family photos (softball, baseball, cousin birthday parties, playing at the park, just my life). I'm still mad about it!!! I have a wonderful husband who know how much taking photos brings joy to my life. I will post some photos soon. We have a ball tournament next weekend & I will get some photos there (Cade has a baseball game this week too!!). Have a great weekend!

Theft in our home!!!!

2009-04-17T20:08:00.000-07:00

So since my last post it has been pretty crazy around my house. I will try to post as much as possible, but our house recently got broken into (on Monday the 13th). They stole my new laptop (that I got for Christmas & practially begged my husband for), my camera & all my lenses (which I carried with me to any child's event), our camcorder, another camera, & 2 boxes of my jewelery. With all that being said we are trying to recoup our money from the insurance company but we may get cancelled if we claim all of this. I was so upset because taking pictures of kids is my love. That is my passion! I'm trying to be patient to get me a new camera but I don't want to wait any longer!! Please pray for us that things will work out! I would love it if I could just get back my photos! Those are MY family memories & no one elses'!! What good are they to anyone else!!!!

Happy Easter

2009-04-12T20:09:00.000-07:00

Today was a great day! I hope everyone enjoyed their easter day & celebrated the true meaning of Easter. He has risen! Jesus died for our sins & rose again so we could have eternal life!
We had a wonderful day today (wish it would not have rained-but it did not dampen our spirts).
We celebrated by going to church today & my parents also went with us. It meant alot to me since last year at this time my dad was really sick & we did not know if he would make it or not. So for him to go to church with me made my heart soar! Wonderful hymns, wonderful service, & a wonderful day! Daniel's family was all there too & we had a great time afterwards visiting at lunch together.
We came home & all had our bellies full & took a nap (even Daniel & he does not nap at ALL!) Even though we did not get to hunt eggs we still had a good day. I will post Easter morning pics tomorrow. Goodnight for now & Happy Easter!

The Class!

Collecting his eggs!

Cade had a wonderful time at his easter party this last week! I did not get to go but his Daddy did & did a great job of getting some cute pictures for me! Here's my favorite & a few more!

Go Turbyfill Bullets!!!

2009-04-04T20:23:00.000-07:00

Cade had his second ball game today! He did so great! A little early in the morning for him, but he still did good! I love this photo. He was running to second and turned to go to third but had to go back. (He's pointing to his dad who is coaching 1st base saying, " YOU told me to run!" After a long day at 2 ball parks we looked a little toasted this evening! What is it they say, " For love of the game"! HA!

Knocking off the Ice

2009-03-30T21:15:00.000-07:00

Kinley also had her 1st ball tournament this last weekend! And boy was it cold! The girls played okay, but as you can tell by her cheeks it was COOOLLLDDD!!!! It was so cold it was hard for them to have their head in the game. Proud of you baby!

Cade's first Tee Ballgame

2009-03-30T21:03:00.000-07:00

My little boy's first Tee ballgame! He was so proud! The name if his team is Turbyfill's Bullets. He did sooo good! I'm so proud of him!

2009-03-23T20:14:00.000-07:00

2009-03-23T20:11:00.000-07:00

Just mom & me!!

2009-03-23T20:08:00.000-07:00

A day at the park with my baby boy!
While Kinley was gone for a few days I deicied to take Cade to the park to play for a while on Sunday. We went to Mills park in Bryant to play there since we always go Tyndall. A change was nice! Of corse I took my camera & got some great shots. He was Mr. Camera Man. He would pose or smile for me without even asking. I just wanted some shots of him playing without posing for me! I did get some cute ones! Here's a few to share.

2009-03-08T13:50:00.000-07:00

Spring day!

2009-03-08T13:46:00.000-07:00

Loved the weather today! Got some really cute pictures of the kids today blowing bubbles & playing with sidewalk chalk. I'm so ready for the weather to stay like this, but living in AR the weather is CRAZY!!!! I think I'm going to print this photo & hang it somewhere in the house!

New song--At least to me!

2009-03-02T19:08:00.000-08:00

This won't be a long post tonight, but I just wanted to let those of you who have little girls (since I have so many peeps reading my blog) about the song posted on my blog. Any of you who have girls can relate to the song, "Cindrella" by Steven Curtis Chapman. Young or old, tot to teen, can relate or will relate (at some point in your life) to this song. It's too sweet. It just makes me think how fast my little girl is growing up! (And yes my little boy is too!!) I will post more tomorrow--Cade had his 1st Tee ball practice tonight! He was soooo excited!! I do have pics & I will get them up tomorrow. Got to go watch CSI now!

Sushi & Starbucks treat!

2009-02-27T19:11:00.001-08:00

Daniel took us out tonight for sushi & I was so excited! LOVE it! Kinley was all about going there so she could have, "Those bean things!" HA! All Cade likes to eat is the rice, but tonight he ate pretty good.
This was a quick week around our house before you knew it Friday was here! Kinley had softball practice Thursday night & did pretty good. The weather was nice & warm & it felt great to get outdoors for the evening. When she was batting she kept popping her hits straight up in the air & when practice was over I said, "Kinley, you were popping those balls up in the air!" & her reply (in an aggravated voice) was, "I know, I don't know what was wrong. I just wanted to get one good hit!" I explained that she was doing great no matter what, but she didn't think so!
Cade's first t-ball practice is Monday night! He's so excited! We have been practicing with him also. Daniel has let him hit off the tee for the past few weeks a couple of nights a week & Cade is really enjoying it. He's getting to play on a team with his best buddy Colton. They have been friends since they were 15 months old & now they are both 5 & getting to play t-ball together! Great memories!
Weather permiting-I will try to get some photos taken this weekend & get them posted!

Much of nothing

2009-02-23T17:39:00.000-08:00

Well, the weekend has come & gone & it was back to work today. We had a good weekend around here, nothing too intresting. We lounged around the house on Saturday & got some things done around the house. Daniel went & helped my dad with his new shop he got. They moved some things into it & patched up the floor of the old shop. My dad is so weak he can't hardly work on anything without someone helping him. After about 3 hours Daniel had worn him out!
Daniel came on home & took me shopping. My thought was,"ME, you want to take me shopping?" Needless to say I was surprised! We had a nice dinner with the kiddos later that evening. We didn't get to take the kids anywhere fun like I had wanted to, well maybe next weekend.
We got a call tonight from Cade's baseball coach about his first practice! He's so excited! He thinks he such a big boy now that he gets to play baseball! Too cute! I can't wait to post pics of his first game! Or the uniform!
Isn't it funny what excites us once you have kids! It's the little things!

Woo hoo!! It's Friday!!

2009-02-20T20:24:00.000-08:00

So glad the weekend is here! Even though I have NOTHING planned. I did get a date night in with the hubby though & we got in a good movie. We went to see "Taken". It was better than I thought it was going to be. If you get a chance you need to go see it. I was sore from being so tense during the movie. It's a lot of fast action & suspense!
Nothing planned for tomorrow (yet). I do want to go do something fun with the fam. Any suggestions? I know we will find something fun to do! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Spring? Are you here?

2009-02-18T18:49:00.000-08:00

Okay let me just start out by saying today was a beautiful day! I'm so ready for nicer weather it's not even funny! Today was just a test though, since it's going to be in the 20's Saturday night.

I'm ready for spring flowers, days were I can open the windows & let in some fresh air, FLIP FLOPS (gosh am I ready for those), my heating bill to be less than $200 a month, and a nice glow on my pastey skin!! HA! Those are just a few of the things I am ready for this spring.
All in all it's been a good week around here. Just keepin' on rollin' until the weekend!

I LOVE this photo!

2009-02-15T13:55:00.000-08:00

I have been editing some photos today online & I just absoulty LOVE this photo! Everything about it! The sand stuck to her legs, the sunkissed cheeks, the ocean breeze blowing her cute curls, waves crashing behind her! I think I'm going to pring this one in a large size & frame it at the house. Any suggestions for a good size?
All in all we had a good weekend. Not too much going around our crazy/busy household. Daniel had to work Saturday & so it was just me and the kids on Saturday for a while. Cade wanted to go spend some time with his dad at the store on Saturday & I was wanting to go shopping so, Kinley & I dropped him off & hit the ground running. We did a little shopping but I got discouraged. I hate looking for something specific & not being able to find it.
I wanted a new pair of jeans (and i'm talking just a basic pair). No fancy pockets, no $79 price tag (I know I'm cheap, but I would rather my kids look cute) just some plain basic jeans. No luck! Of course Kinley was running all over the store & I was trying to keep up with her & look at the same time. Maybe I'll have better luck next time! :)
All of my family is taking naps right now-even Daniel & he NEVER takes a nap! I'm going to enjoy the peace & quite as long as it last! HA!

I lead a BORING life!

2009-02-10T17:42:00.000-08:00

Not too much has happen around the Turbyfill household this weekend. Saturday the kids & I stayed in our jammies until about 1:00. (I will admit it felt great!) Daniel went crow hunting with some friends. (I don't know what is so fun about shooting a bird out of the air but whatever) I will say my darling husband surprised us and took us out for dinner this weekend. We had a good time! Kinley was not feeling good this weekend. She has a major head cold :(. I kept her home Sunday from church & we stayed in our jammies until lunch. I NEVER (I repeat)NEVER do that & it felt so good to just lounge around all weekend. Although I will admit I did get some stuff cleaned out of my closet that I have been needing to clean out for along time!

I found a new love this past weekend! Carmel frappuccino from Starbucks! LOVED IT! I'm not a big fan of cold coffee drinks but this one is a winner. Plus I don't want to spend $4 on a drink that I might not like. It's a hit. I loved it so much I had to have one Sunday too! Isn't it amazing what makes us happy in life. HA!
This week is not very intersting either-not too much going on here at our lil ol' household. I want to take the kids for a photo shoot this weekend, but might go shopping instead. All this warm weather makes me realize how much my kids have grown since short sleeve weather. We'll see what we can find.
Well until next time! C ya!

Finally Friday! It was a GREAT one!

2009-02-06T14:45:00.000-08:00

It was a GREAT Friday! I had the day off & went on a field trip with Cade. We went to see, "Three Blind Mice" at the Arts Center. It was a cute play & he enjoyed me going with him. I took him to school for a little while so I could get some things done that I needed to do. He was okay with that since he could eat lunch with his friends & play outside & get a nap in. I picked him up early from school & we went to get Kinley.

Today is such a beautiful day outside!

It makes me so ready for spring it's not even funny! Isn't it amazing how sunshine just makes you fell better! On the way home from school today the kids & I were talking & just out of the blue Kinley asked me, "Do fireman's have to pay house bills?" (I don't know where this comes from) and I explain, "At their house or at the firestation?" Her response, "At their house." I tell here, "Yes, honey everyone has house bills." Kids come up with some of the wildest questions!

Cademan chimes in and says, "Why does Jesus live in heaven?" Kinley responds with, "He is everywhere & can see you all the time." I thought it was so cute! At least I am doing something right! They do listen! Hope everyone has a good weekend! I know we will! The weather is going to be great!

Cade Birthday

2009-02-04T20:02:00.000-08:00

2009-02-04T18:36:00.000-08:00

Okay, It's been a few days. We've been busy around the Turbyfill household. My BABY!!!! (Cade) turned 5 on Monday. I cannot believe that my youngest child is 5 years old!! We got him new bedroom furniture for his room. Daniel painted his room last Sunday & Cade knew that we ordered his furniture, but he did not know that it was coming in on his birthday. Daniel met the delivery guys on Monday (Feb 2) & got everything set up & then I met him here & made sure it was set up the way I wanted it to look. I got all his bedding on the bed & his new lamp set up by his nightstand. I just stood back & thought, " My baby is now a big boy!". It's amazing how the time flies by! We let Cade pick where he wanted to eat on his birthday & he wanted to go to IHOP for breakfast. When we got home he saw his room & was like , "WOW! My big boy room!"
He was so excited. Here are a couple of photos from his birthday & his new room.

A fun day at the park

2009-02-01T13:45:00.000-08:00

2009-02-01T12:53:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I'm going to give this blogging thing a try. I have found that I can capture so many thought, feeling, & our family history this way. Also to not forget the little things in life that I want my kids to remember about their life. Where was blogging when they were little? I will start by telling a little about our history. We have 2 bundles of joy that bring so much laughter to our lives. Kinley is 7 years old and a total girly-girl, but give her a softball & she is full on tomboy. Cade will be 5 tomorrow (my where has the time gone?). I'm married to my highschool sweetheart, Daniel, he's the love of my life & I don't know where I would be without him today. We will be married 12 years in April. So here goes. Hope you enjoy!
