Happy 4th Birthday Cason!

Last weekend we went to the Faske's house to celebrate Cason's 4th birthday! It was a hunting theme and Owen had a blast! He is just almost big enough to run around with the big kids ;)

Erin and her cousin, Anna

Owen and Parker, having good food and good conversation ;)

The boys were shooting...

The girls :)

Welcome Addison Hope Fruge

We recently helped host a baby shower for our dear friends, Andy and Amanda Fruge. Andy and Amanda welcomed Addison Hope on Friday, March 20th. We couldn't be happier for them and we just can't wait to meet her!!!! Here are a few pics from the shower...
Owen Really enjoyed the cupcakes :)

The Faske kids and the Stewart kids were the best of friends by the time we left, they were so cute and SO entertaining! Erin and Jordan put on an amazing Hannah Montana concert for us ;)

Once again, Parker can sleep anywhere! Isn't he just precious!

Sarah's Book Club

As most of you know, I recently started a book club after reading the Twilight saga. Since finishing that series, I have not found the time to read. I don't know how I ever read all of those books! We recently went on a little trip (another blog to follow on that subject) and I was more excited about having time to read than I really was about the trip ;) Can you tell I don't have much free time?! Anyway, the next official book to add to the book club is Same Kind of Different As Me, by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. It is a true story written by a man from Fort Worth. It is an amazing testimony of faith and it will leave you looking for the good in everyone you meet. Very inspiring! It's a quick, easy read... my kind of book ;)

Nothing Runs Like A Deere

We took Owen out to Andy's parent's place last weekend. We wanted to give him some time to drive the Gator and see the cows again. It wasn't long before he discovered Grandaddy's tractor and decided he was ready for the big boy toys ;)

Owen LOVES To Read

Have I mentioned Owen LOVES to read? There are many times that I suddenly realize it is too quiet in the house so I go looking for Owen and this is what I often find:

Owen sitting quietly with all his books pulled out and he is just flipping through the pages. He also loves to be read to. One of his favorites: Jolly Barn Yard. He definitely loves the classic Golden Books. :)

Green River Ordinance- Out Of My Hands

I think most of you know that two of my cousins are aspiring singers/rock stars ;) My cousin Matt lives in Nashville and is an amzing country singer/song writer. He had the honor of singing at the Grand Ole Opry a few years ago we were lucky enought to get to go! :) If you were at our wedding he sang our first dance song at our reception.

My cousin Josh is a lead singer for an alternative band called Green River Ordinance. They are great!! Many of you have gone with us to their shows! Green River Ordinance signed with Capitol records last year and they have been working diligently on their album and touring around the USA. I am proud to anounce that their album is being released on February 24th and it is now available for pre-sale at www.myspace.com/gro Please help them reach their pre-sale goal of 2,000 albums! (I bought two) ;) Their single, "Come On", is available now for download on itunes! Thanks for your support! You won't be dissapointed!!! :)

What's the going rate?...

So... we have plans to go to dinner with some friends on Monday. They have a daughter that is about two months younger than Owen, her name is Peyton. They play very well and are just adorable together! Owen and Peyton were in daycare together in the first class I put him in at the church. Anyway... we have decided to get a sitter to watch both of them so we can have a nice quiet dinner with grown ups ;) Until now I have had family/friends keep Owen for us so I have NO IDEA how much to pay a sitter. So I am asking you... my faithful blog readers... what is the going rate for a sitter? The girl I have lined up is a Sr. in high school and she will probably only be watching them for 1 1/2 hours. I have asked her to bring a friend b/c I think it would be best for there to be two of them to keep up with the two kids... Let me know your thoughts and what you pay... Thanks a bunch!!!!!
