When we were in Soso 2 weeks ago Doc and Cheri took the twins to see the cows...we are now obsessed with cows (anything bigger than a cat is cow...dog, horse sheep whatever!) One of our favorite sounds is MOOOOOOOOOOO!

This baby was only 3 days old so she wasn't sure if she should be scared or not.

Mahlon kept poking her nose and saying "NOOOOOSSSSE" (if you are around him for more than 5 minutes he'll find your nose too!)

Sara Beth couldn't figure out why this cow wouldn't talk back or at least give a little "moooooo"???


All smiles!!

Checking out the cows in the pasture with my DOC!

We couldn't get enough of the cows and didn't want to leave!!

OK so when anyone asks how the twins are I usually reply...they're a mess. Just wanted to show you what I am talking about. Tuesday morning I was in the shower and so just like every morning I put the babies in the corral and put on Elmo...when I got out this is what I found!!! Now for months they have been "breaking out of jail" but this was a first!!!! And on top of that Mahlon started taking the individual PVC pipes outs and leaving them all over the house! Of course daddy wasn't here so mommy got to put it all back together during nap time!!

This is a baby doll dress that little peanut once wore when she was a few weeks old...now she thinks it is a hat for her head! I can't believe she was that small!! Anyway she wore it half of the day yesterday unless her brother yanked it off. It would keep falling over her eyes and she would run into walls and tables...this was very entertaining for her!

Was trying to get a pic of her here and instead she ran into the table...ouch! No tears though!

We were pretending it was Easter last weekend at Doc and Cheri's...we were dressed up in our Easter outfits and Cheri pulled out our Easter baskets...though there we no eggs to hunt we had a fun time running around the yard and we sure did look cute!

50 K

Well last weekend was the weekend Wesley has been training soooo hard for...the 50 K(31.2 miles on horse trails in the woods!) The Carl Touchstone 50! Friday night we went to the ole Laurel fairgrounds for a pre-race spaghetti dinner. Doc, Cheri and Aunt Lani kept the double days. Then at 4 am Wesley woke up to get ready for his 6a.m. start to the race. I got to the race about 10am in hopes to see him at his 25 mile mark...1 hour and 49 minutes later sweet hubby wobbled over the 25 mile mark. Bless his heart he hurt his knee on mile 2 and continued on for 23 miles!!! He had a little over 6 left when I saw him, but kept saying he couldn't finish. I, being the personal trainer, stretched stretched him and tried to diagnose the problem. After about 10 minutes of stretching he felt much better and took off walking for about 1/8 mile then decided to jog and after one stride was in horrible pain again. He was unable to finish his goal...but we are SOOOO proud of his 25 miles!! Less than 2 months ago he did a marathon and now another 25 miles!! Luckily we think the problem has resolved itself...with a little anti-inflammatory and ice! Go daddy go we are soooo proud!!

Bless his heart you can see the pain on his face, but he said he was running for me!

These are some of the things I have been working on the past few months...haven't been able to post them because a lot of them were gifts!
This is a Katrina wood cross/bow holder made for our sweet neighbor Brinley for her first birthday!

This is a Katrina wood cross I painted for a friend's birthday!

A bow holder for a baby girl being born in our church!

These are a couple of nursery signs.


This is an art hanger I made for our hallway...for future art projects, we don't do much right now!

This is a dog leash holder for Lani and Brian's dogs...Mako and Mali!

This cross was made in memory of Dr. Triplett (one of my friend's father) who passed away. He was an Ole Miss Rebel and his favorite color was red! It is now hanging on a wall of crosses at Breckenridge Village in Texas.

This cross was painted in memory of Shirley Gautier (Brian's mother) who passed away last month. She loved bright, happy colors! This is also hanging at Breckenridge Village.

Finally a few pictures from our ski trip to Beaver Creek. Yes I skied and loved it! This was our first real vacation(more than 24 hours)that we have been on together in 18 months!! We went with Lani and Brian and had a blast! My mom and Aunt Diane kept the babies for 4 nights(with help from Willie Ann and a visit from Doc) We skied, ate lots, slept in(forgot what that was like!!) and I got a massage. Didn't really take many pictures...I was too busy relaxing!! I am ready for another vacation!! It was wonderful to get away, but we sure did miss our sweet babies...this was the perfect vacation!

On Feb21st Wesley did his first "trail run" race. He loved running in the woods for a change...this was a 17 mile race...to help him prepare for his upcoming race this week...31 miles!

Comfy in our stroller having a little snack...looking for daddy!
Here he comes...only 2.5 miles to go!

We found a cozy spot to wait for daddy!

Daddy crossing the finish line!!!

Just a few random pictures from this month...
Gotta love bath time with daddy!! He always makes it fun!


And then after a bath we get to "weed" (read) lots and lots of books!


And this is what happens when the "hair fairy" comes to visit in the middle of the night!! Great hair!!


These are the only pics I could get from Valentine's Day. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get the two of them in a picture together unless they are in a bath tub or stroller! Sara Beth is saying "CHEESE" and Mahlon is giving Elmo a big kiss!! They love their new Elmo (thanks Doc and Cheri) He talks and sings and moves his arms, and blows kisses...and he stays covered in food. Sara Beth seems to think Elmo needs to eat when she eats...she is such a good mommy!!

These pictures were from Feb 13th...another snow day...not quite as much snow as before, but we still had to play in it. We went down to our neighborhood playground and had the best time, until we got too cold! That slide was cold and wet on our booties!!



Then that night we had a play date and dinner at the Buchanan's...Kade and the twins are about 6 weeks apart so they had so much fun teaching each other "new tricks" and pulling out all of Kade's toys!!

Colorful furniture

I've been busy painting doll furniture for Sara Beth...her babies now have a stroller and cradle and soon a high chair too...Mahlon and Sara Beth can't quite figure out why they don't "fit" in this furniture!! Cheri made the babies a mattress, pillow, sheet and blanket. Mahlon and Sara Beth have so much fun playing mommy and daddy.
