Matt and I were in San Antonio this morning and now almost to auburn. This is the longest we have ever driven in one day. We had planned to stop half way, but we made great time and the kids were doing awesome, so we kept going. It's 11:00 and all 3 are asleep and we have 2 hours to go. I am amazed at God's blessings in my life and am so thankful for my family.
Matt and I will celebrate 9 years of marriage on Tuesday. This is just crazy to me. I love this man with my whole heart. He is my best friend. God truly gave me a wonderful blessing when he put Matt in my life!
Turning around right now, i see 3 precious sleeping faces snuggled in their pjs with their blankets and lovies. What a blast we have had driving everywhere these past 2 weeks. I know years from now, I will look back and think about all the great memories we made.
- pulling over on the side of the road to let them go potty... Having the car potty is what made this trip possible!
- hearing shep and spence discuss angry bird, telling eachother good job, watching them pass their iPads back and forth to let the other beat a level for them, hearing them sing, asking me to come sit back in the van, snuggling with my arm as I squeeze between their seats....
- watching Sophie dance and sing to mickey, ask for more snack, watching her throw her lovie and then put her little hands out and call for it like she doesn't know where it is, call for me "hold mommy, hold mommy",
- watching all 3 run around at rest stops and gas stations.. Some people walk their dogs, we walk our kids...
-convincing them that the movie lion king isn't too scary
And so many more... Too tired to think at the moment! We had the best time making memories on he road and while in Texas with deedee!
Tomorrow back to our routine! I can't wait!! :)

Deedee time
We are so blessed to be able to travel with Matt on his trips. Even though three little ones three and under is not ideal for a long car ride, I would rather be WITH Matt than at home withOUT him.
On our last day in Jacksonville, Matt's boss asked him to go to Houston for the whole next week. So we went home for less than 24 hours , did a couple of loads of landudry, repacked, and hopped back in the car.
The kids did awesome for the long drive. Except the multiple bathroom stops it was a pretty easy drive. I was so proud of them. We stopped in mobile to break up the drive and the boys slept for the first time together in a big bed. They slept great!
We have had so fun today at DeeDees! We have played candyland, gone to the park, and swam! It has been a blast!

Fun times
We had a blast going with Matt when he had to work in Jacksonville. I took the kiddos to the beach and to the zoo. Matt took Friday off and we all went back to the beach before heading home. We had a blast!

Weeks of Firsts
A new first...
We started a small vegetable garden. We are growing onions, lettuce, and peppers. We will see how it turns out. I do not have a green thumb and Sophie like to pull the plants up. We will see if they survive...I have found many trains being pushed between the plants.
A horrible First....
STITCHES!
Spencer and Shep were playing in back yard and found Matt's grilling tool. Spencer's tip of his thumb got sliced. It was a rough week. he couldn't get it wet. There was a ton of blood, and he hated when I took off the bandaid to change it. I think he thought the blood would start up again. Poor thing had to get 3 shots in the tip of his finger...
At the doctor & after...
Angry bird band aid makes it all better!
We celebrated getting the stitches out with lunch and fun at the park!
First time at the Dentist...
Boys had their first cleaning... Looks like Shep and Sophie will have to have an early consultation at the orthodontist... Lots of dental work in our future...
