Strolling down memory lane...

You all know I took a little vacation from blogging in the spring, and as I was organizing my pictures I found some that really should have been on here. So, go back with me to...late winter, all the way up to a few weeks ago and lets see what was going on...

First we have the 100 Day Party, which is a BIG event for the kindergarteners at CAK. The kids play games, make crafts and have snacks all having to do with 100. It carries with it a cowboy theme (can't tell you why, I just roll with it).

Here we have Mrs. Prines little angles.....

Her favorite two.... haha!

And this one I just liked....I think Park is at the Little Gym at a birthday party.

This one I remember....Easter! The big egg hunt at the church.

The kids are with Leah and Luke...their very first friends. I can't believe how big they all are!

Since we don't have a dog, Park was asking for one of the goats. Right!

And here's Parker with a little friend she made at Old Navy.

(Yes you're seeing it right, she's plastic)

And here is my little Blue Bird. That's what P was in her dance recital.

Looks a little Vegas Showgirly hu?

She was so excited to get to wear makeup and get her very own flowers. It was all worth it!

Especially when we finished it off with a BIG ice cream cone!!

And....here''s T trying to make out with the hula model at Party City.

(What is it with my kids and plastics? Creepy!)

Next we have some pictures from Mama and Papa's house. It's always fun there!!

First a little slippin" and slidin'....

You gotta watch out for Papa, he's sneaky. He put some dish liquid on there to make it go fast.

And as a plus, they were clean when the finished!!

Water gun fighting with dad.

Finishing up with a four wheeler ride in the evening.

These are the Sapp boys, friends of T's from school. Their Mama and I are pretty tight too!! We met up for a movie to take a break from the summer sun.

Yes, it was a total accident that they were all dressed alike. Super cute though!!

Just a random picture of my little lady on the front porch eating a popsicle.....

with her legs spread and her panties showing. Nice.

Finishing off with the thank you card P's sweet little teacher sent me. We're really going to miss her!!!

Hope you enjoyed our little walk, I did. Sometimes things get so busy and mashed together I don't really get to enjoy them. Thank goodness for cameras!!!

Well, stay tuned for beach pictures. We took a trip to Hilton Head with some WONDERFUL friends and Polka Dot let me take her cool camera. I think I've found my calling...Photography!

Tee for two...

To quote Spongebob Square Pants...this is going to be the best day ever!!! Well, it's July 4th weekend and what better way to start than a little golf. Jimmy was going to take Taylor to hit some balls this morning and Pink got upset b/c she never gets to go. Soooo, we all went. By the looks of the pictures we had a very productive, good time....I'll tell you what really happened at the end.

Dad is trying to establish that this is a golf course, not a playground so we had to be quiet and respectful. (You can see how well they're listening, quiet is not their thing)

Now to get the balls, very loud that machine.

Here's Park getting her very first lesson from daddy.

T is already a PGA golfer and needs no assistance. So he thinks.

Not to shabby baby girl, great follow thru!!

This is precious! We love us some sports at the Dunn house!! Now I just need to learn and we'll have a foursome. Problem is this game requires patience...not my strong point.

Here's when things start getting rocky.....

Park's done after about 10 minutes, she's crawling....

Then they noticed the bunker behind them.....

And after chasing them down to the lake over the cart path and thru a fairway....we settled under a nice tree to hit each other with sticks. (I took this before the hitting.)

Not an entirely horrible experience, I'm exhagerating, it could have been MUCH worse! It was nice to do something different and dad did get to hit some by himself while we went on our tour of the course.

Do pets really complete a family???

Below you will see the smiling faces of 2 children with their beloved pets. We tried fish once when Taylor was 2...they got sucked in the filter; then we got a Hampster, he hissed everytime we got near him; now we are the proud owners of 2 hermit crabs, 2 turtles, and a frog (he did not wish to participate in the photo).

(Closer look so you could see Sparkles under the rock. Ned likes it up there so he can sun bathe)

It wasn't until just now that I realized I'm sharing how disgusing our pond is with everyone. You're welcome. Come see it in person sometime...it's really something!

Anyway, we've told the kids for years we'd get them a dog when we move. They've grown tired of waiting and decided to catch their own pets. Wish they could've stumbled upon 2 completely house-broken, calm weimaraners....oh well.

How Do You Pick a Father?

When you're looking for a husband there's a certain criteria you tend to follow, unintentionally of course. But it's only after that man becomes a father that you really know how good a choice you've made. You don't know the questions you need to ask when looking for the man who'll father your children....
Like, will he be as good a father as you had. And will your father and brother become his friends.

Will he be a servant to the King?

Will he be there on Daddy Day at ballet.....

Or teach your son to fish (even when he doesn't know how)....

And let your little girl tag along.....

Will he be there for trick or treat....

Would he go through the incredible hassel to bring home a 200lb pumpkin just to see your sons eyes light up.....

Will he take business calls at the beach......

Or truly care about Super Mario...even on New Years day during 25 football games....

Will he be the one to teach your son how to play football....

And give him his first trophy....

Will he build a snowman with them......

Or take your son to watch baseball and share his love of it.....

Will he walk into the ocean and look for jellyfish....

Will he make you smile 9 years later the way he did that very first moment that you knew he was the one...

If you can answer yes to all these questions you've made the perfect choice and God has blessed your family.

Happy Fathers Day baby....We love you.

Up, Up and away!!

Grandmommy & grandaddy took us to see "UP" in 3D. How cool are these glasses. They look like the BCG's Jess had to wear at bootcamp!
The kids were so good, Park ate her weight in popcorn and Taylor laughed so loud you could hear him in the other theaters!! I love my kids!!

Well, I think I've found a way to get around our compter issues and keep up w/ the blog...my good ole' Crackberry! It's not easy, I'm not gonna lie, but for my faithful readers, I'll do what I have to do.....for all 6 of you!! Ha ha!!

We're Still Here!!!

This is the only picture I have to offer currently. (I do realize these are my children and all of you won't share my feeling but, those are the cutest flippin' kids I've EVER seen!) We're having technical difficulties here at the Dunn house. Both of our computers have issues. Mine just won't read discs or my memory card so I can't get my pictures off my camera. Not life threatening, just a bummer for anyone who reads this b/c quite frankly the pictures are better than my words. Mr. Dunn's are a bit more serious as it is what helps him make our living. Anyway, my sweet sister took the kids to meet a friend of hers who's a photographer and she got some amazing shots of them! It was a birthday present for me!! Just about the best one I've ever gotten! :)

Anyway, this last month has been CRAZY! As the end of the school year always is. If I can ever get pictures on here again you'll see T's birthday, field trip to the zoo, field day, last day of school and of Parker, her in her recital costume (which her recital is this weekend and she's SO excited b/c she gets to wear makeup and get flowers!) her program at school and swimming. It'll be LONG!

We're just hanging out, enjoying sleeping in and going to the pool. We love us some summertime!

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!!!

Wow, 7 years old. I have to admit this one hurts a little. Last week he lost his top right tooth and I just started to cry. He's growing up so fast. People tell you that, that is goes so fast so enjoy it. But with all that goes on in raising children it's hard to savor every moment...then you look up and 7 years has gone by.

Most everyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I didn't ever want kids. Ha! On May 3, 2002 God showed me what "He" wanted for me. He's so much smarter than I am. These last 7 years have been the most exhilerating, difficult, emotional, exciting....I could go on forever....years of my life. I'm so glad I didn't miss out on him!

Today I am so thankful for Taylor. He is the person who showed me who I am, and made me want to be better. He makes me love life and he shows me how to find joy in everything, everyday. He, like his precious daddy, is so kind and thoughtful and always wants me to be happy (even when I don't deserve to be). I wish I could be more like him.

He makes our family the crazy, silly family that we are. We are all blessed to have him!



Happy birthday my precious little boy...I love you so much!!!

Thanks be to God for his undescribable gift. II Corinthians 9:15
