Caitlyn's Mi Mi is amazing! She made this awesome dress for her and a matching doll! It is so cute! I can't imagine how many hours she spent working on it but we will enjoy every stitch! My girl is clearly getting to big!Love,Shawna

After the rodeo experience poor Tim has spent more time as a Bucking Bronco than he ever thought possible. Notice Cade's outfit. He even made me put a number on his back like the other cowboys. He noticed every detail at the rodeo. The clip of Coopie praying is just so cute. He is such a sweetie!
Love,

I can't believe that Caitlyn is already nine months old! Time is going by way to fast! She just decided this week that she was no longer content with sitting, she wants to stand. She is pulling up on everything in site. She is fast and rather unsteady, which is not a good combination. I foresee a lot of tears from falling in our future.
She loves her daddy, her big brothers and paper! She can spot paper a mile away and can crawl to it at lightning speed! She is wearing a beautiful tutu that her MiMi made for her at Christmas in some of the pictures. I take every opportunity that I can to dress her up now because I know that chances are with two big brothers she will probably end up being a tomboy. That's okay I think we're going to keep her locked up until she's about 30 anyway.
This little princess is amazing! Thank you Lord for blessing us with sweet Caitlyn Grace!

Coopie's favorite present this year was the tiger that Santa brought him. He loves it! He sleeps with it and drags it around with him. When he saw it on Christmas morning her ran over and hugged his neck and said, " I wub you tiger, I wub you!" He showed the tiger all of his presents and said, "look Mr. Tiger".
He is our animal lover! As many of you know his favorite thing is to go to the Zoo (mommy may have influenced this) and his favorite animal at the Zoo is Wooly the hippo. Well now all he talks about is the tiger at the Zoo (complete with roaring sounds) and Wooly the hippo. Poor Wooly he has a little competition now.
Coopie, My sweet little tiger boy, I wub you the whole sky!

There are moments in your life that you will remember forever, we've all had them, and they are often magical. Cade had one of those moments a couple of days ago when he got his first Cap Gun! He is on cloud nine! He hasn't gone anywhere without his six shooter, boots and hat! He's also shot through 300 rounds of ammunition in two days. This is the big time we didn't just get the paper caps these are the "bullet" caps! Wow!
My little boys steal my heart everyday. They are my "wild men". John Eldridge says in his awesome book, Wild at Heart, that boys are born knowing how to shoot guns! He is so right on. Watching Cade over the last few days I've been amazed at how, without ever having watched a western, he knows how to play "cowboy". He is capturing bad guys and protecting his family. He told me today that he would take care of me. Some people may say that guns are bad and your kids shouldn't play with them, I disagree. I think that my sweet boy is learning an incredible life lesson. He is learning that God made men to fight for what is right. To be brave. To overcome evil and protect your family at all cost. He's becoming a "man". Who knew that a cap gun would be used for an awesome life lesson.
Lord I pray that my little cowboys would spend the next few years catching the bad guy, playing in the dirt, wrestling, running, playing baseball and football and hugging their mommy and daddy. That is what the childhood of a little boy should be!
