On a Jet Plane to Arizona!

Anthony's parents have moved to Tuscon, Arizona! We thought this was a great time to go see the grandparents and show the kids a desert! The flights were looong! The first leg was 4 hours, and the second leg 1 hour! However all three kids did great! It was a very busy time for Mommy and Daddy on the flight! :)

The morning we left Johnathan packed his puppy and Joseph's too!

 Airport, where everyone asks "are they twins?" OR " are they triplets?"

 Mommy and Joseph enjoying MANY "busy" snacks on the flight!

 Stickers were a favorite activity!

We are in Arizona, GREAT pictures to come!

Papa's away and Aunt Anne is here to stay!

We had a visit from Aunt Anne, and celebrated her birthday while she was here!! The kids enjoyed making her a cake and birthday card! While she was here Papa and Uncle Clay were in North Dakota on a hunting trip! So the boys "had to go and take care of the farm" while they were away.  Aunt Anne stayed at the farm with Granna. We went down several times during the week to help Papa while he was away "get the work done." We gathered eggs, checked cows, and looked at the fences!

A Daddy's girl for sure today!

Our children get so confused during football season!!! I am a University of Florida Alumni, and it is GREAT to be a Florida Gator! Anthony's parents, grandparents, and brothers have attended Auburn. Anthony was born in Opelieka and loves Auburn football. However, Anthony was raised in Indiana and went to Purdue, along with his other brother and sister! Whew! ( the most important thing is I was born in Florida, & UF alumni!! ha!) That being said, our children do wear some black and gold to support their Daddy! And this cute little girl does make Purdue look a little better!

 "hmmmm Daddy, did Purdue lose again. We should watch them play basketball instead!"

 Go Boilers!!! But my Mommy says I must go to a school in the south!

Hush little baby

 I love pajamas, and the look of diapers in them!! On special occasions we have family time in our bed with the kids. Or if I am behind schedule leaving for work I will allow the kids to watch a little TV while I am getting ready in our bathroom. I ADORE these faces snuggled in our bed!! I never want to forget how sweet these little guys can be!  I just want to squeeze them!

Early one morning........

 Before bedtime........

One late night...........

There is something about Mommy and Daddy's bed!

Dr. Warlick

Our Daddy is a veterinarian!! That means lots of hard work trying to help the animals stay healthy! It isn't uncommon for him to be gone for a 12 hour day, and then be on-call for emergencies at night.  Recently he decided that it would be best to open another vet clinic in Fairfield Glade. Wow, our mommy wasn't sure about this! But Mommy says there isnt many other Daddy's who LOVE their job as much as our Daddy. He NEVER complains and always want to help the animals! Our Daddy is the BEST example of dedication to work and family that our little eyes could see! We continue to pray for Daddy when he leaves for work, and we go visit him often at work! Jayne ELizabeth and Mommy went to the "new" clinic to take Daddy out for lunch last week!

 I think it is love!!! A Daddy's love with his daughter.....I think she is proud of her Daddy too!

 Time to leave is never fun.......

We will see you when you get home Daddy!

I love these babies!

Brothers!!! Determining the classification of this front yard fungi!

 Jayne Elizabeth: "Don't you think I am starting to look like my Mommy?!?!!"

It's a beautiful thing

Last weekend when Granna left after the pumpkin party, the boys were determined to go home with her to the farm. It was decided that the late night would not be best, but that I would take them the next morning. At 6 AM Joseph was ready to head to Granna's house! We all were all out the door by 7 AM! The kids insisted on taking donuts to Granna and Papa. That is funny because donuts are extremely rare at our house! BUT--- I obliged and stopped at the donut store on the way down to the farm!! These kids were soooo happy! We spent the entire day ( and the boys "convinced" Granna and Papa to stay the night after dinner!) there!

Jayne Elizabeth was very proud of her PINK cowgirl boots! The boys loved them too!

Johnathan and Papa in the truck checking cows. No pictures, but this day was the first time we allowed the boys to ride around on the farm sitting on the toolbox in the truck bed!! Mommy was right there between them!

 Another big first was gathering their chicken eggs!! Yes, the famous birthday chicks are now "mommy chickens" laying eggs! Granna and Papa call with chicken updates, but this trip the kids gathered eggs!! A few were "planted" so all three could find an egg in the nest! Jayne Elizabeth carried the egg basket around all day!! The boys called it "Jayne's chicken basket!" No pictures of that either....so sad that my camera was at the house!

 But here is the basket on the porch.

 Another picture of our girl concentrating, and playing hard!

My boys, playing for hours with their big trucks and tractors!

 Lots of "work" and "building" to do on the farm.
