End of School

Had a swim party the last day of school, so we
were very excited!


End of School Program


Oaxie not real excited about the whole thing!:)

Here are some pictures fom the last 2 days of school in May. I am late getting these up. Just been busy.

Mothers Day

After 8 years of working night shift, I finally switched to days. Yesterday was my first day back since Bin's surgery three months ago. Jon and I decided that I would give it a try since the kiddos are a little older and I am just plum worn out working nights. I usually stay up all day with Bin and Oaxie and then go into work the night shift from 7PM to 7AM, then get home and stay up with them all day and finally get to sleep when Jon gets home from work. My body has been telling me that it is getting tired of doing that. I only work 2 days a week and it will be mostly on the weekends so Jon will have them then. I will be sad that I won't be home on weekends but it will be for the summer mostly, until they go back to school in the Fall.

I was sad that I missed Mothers day but Bin and Oaxie waited up for me when I got home. I had a pretty picture they colored for me and Photo Shop software so I can do really neat things with our pictures. I can't wait to figure out how to use it. Jon took a picture of them out at the deer lease yesterday while I was at work and had it waiting for me on the computer. It was really cute so I put it up for you to see! Of course the Coffee maker was my Mothers day gift to myself! I have been wanting one of these forever. It makes really great coffee and it looks pretty cool too!:)

For Linda- pics of Bin's scooter

I was having problems posting pictures of Bin's scooter on my e-mail so this post is for Linda.:)

No More Casts!!!

Our last sink bath the night before casts were
taken off!


Can't take my eyes off these strait feet!


I can make my toes touch now!!

I was not happy they made me use

the walker. I wanted to walk by
myself.

The casts are officially off! What a relief. Bin had some really stinky feet but I had to kiss them anyway. The surgery was a success. Bin's feet are in the correct position for the most part. His left foot which we had the most problem with still does point outward a little bit but not any where compared to before. His new braces have fish all over them and he has been showing them off to every person he sees! Bin has not been able to sit in the bath tub since the surgery and he was so happy to play in the tub last night. He and Oaxie took a bath for an hour. It has been a long 3 months and we are so happy that Bin is up walking (practically running) again!

Birthday Party

Birthday 2 - 4/4/08 (my most fav pic of Oaxie)


Went to Botanical Gardens for Birthday and
had pictures taken


Birthday 1 - 4/4/07


Birth - 4/4/06

Well, I am sooooo mad at myself. I accidentally erased all the pictures from the birthday party. Thankfully, Nana and Aunt Christie took a bunch so I will have to get copies of theirs! Still I am sad b/c I had some really sweet ones of Bin and Oaxie together!:(

The party turned out great. The weather was perfect. It was a little windy but not at all like the days before where the wind gusts were over 50 miles/hr! Instead of gifts we had all the guests bring items/gift certificates for the Ronald McDonald House in Ft Worth! We were so thankful to every one that came because we raised over $200.00 and received lots of supplies for the House as well! We were able to stay at the RMcD House when Bin & Oaxie were born. It was just around the corner from the hospital and b/c of the House we did not have to drive an hour home every day while they were in the NICU. We will always appreciate the care we received from the staff there while we waited to get to bring the babies home!

So, instead of b-day pics here are pictures from all their birthdays except from their party this past weekend. You can just look at the posts below to see them now!:)

School Birthday Party

Today we celebrated our birthday with friends at school. We will be 3 on Saturday! Mommy and Daddy have been planning our first big birthday party for Saturday. Mommy has been really stressed out about it. Who would have ever thought planning a 3 year old party would be such an ordeal:)
