Paige and her babies!

Paige LOVES her babies, she feeds them, plays with them and takes very good care of them. The other day I found her like this so I thought I would share with the rest of you!!




This is Meow and baby, at least that is what she calls them. (I call meow big head!)




Before she goes to bed she has to make sure that they are all with her. She is one funny little girl. I love my boys to death but there is something special about a little girl!

Happy Birthday Braydin

Man can I tell you how old Kevin is getting...He has a 10 yr old. How I stayed the same age as the day we got married I will never know! My little boy is now an inch shy of being taller then me. He is becoming a young man with a lot of love and kindness. He is fun to be with and watch grow. He wants to be an adult but yet still loves to cuddle with his mom. He makes me proud! Some days the things he says make you wonder and shake your head. But he has a love for his family that cant be measured.

So as my little boy is turning into a young man all I can can is Happy Birthday and we are so proud of you! Your the best Braydin Scott Shipp...

scouts

Here are the boys at the Pine Wood Derby. Like I have mentioned this last few months were crazy, so Braydin's car was a pickle... Need I say more!


Here is Mason, Braydin, Anderson, Dallin and Blake. This is almost all of our scouts, I cant imagine that next year at this time Braydin will be getting ready to join the Boy Scouts. What a good kid he is turning into. (cant you tell I am a proud mother!)

This year for the scouts cake auction we made a Pizza Cake. It was a cookie with red frosting, black licorice, yellow starburst, green sour straws, and white chocolate for the cheese. We thought it was a cool cake, the boys where so excited to decorate it.

Well I hope you like the few updates that we have done. Next will be our Easter update, hopefully it wont take as long as these ones did.

Regan's First year of B-ball!

OK these aren't great pictures the camera was out of batteries so this was the best we could do!!! SORRY Regan!

Regan played in the Upward league this year. He loved every minute of it! They didn't win alot of games but for his first experience on the court we couldn't have been more proud of him.

He was the best defender ever, he would sit on his guy and not leave him. He always had a smile on his face, and a hop skip and a jump after every made shot. I cant believe that he is almost out of the 1st grade. Where does the time go? Man Kevin is getting old!!!


In the Upward program they would announce the kids as they ran through the tunnel with smoke. We tried to get Regan to put his hands in the air and cheer as he went through. Needless to say he never did!!

We had a fun year with both the boys. Like I said before I don't know where the time has gone. But its gone and we are getting read for our new adventures! BASEBALL!!!!!

Ellen Smith Tigers!!!

I thought I needed to get everyone caught up on our family here in Arkansas...

This has been a crazy few months, between Braydin and Regan both playing basketball we were gone alot.

So here goes this first update is on Braydin's basketball year. He had a great year it is amazing how much he has learned in the last few months. He averaged 11 rebounds a game and 6 points. He was a animal, and we loved every minute of it. YES I did almost have to go after a few kids for wanting to hurt Braydin, but Braydin would laugh and tell me not to worry that he can take care of himself. (It still didn't make me yell any less at the officials!)

Braydin is 5'1 1/2 and not even 10 yet, not much longer and I will be looking up to him!! He was asked to play on a summer basketball league and we are pretty excited for him. His basketball team won the Championship for the boys and girls club. What a fun year to watch him and his friends. They all played so well together.

This is the Championship team... Left to right Thomas, Jaron, Marqueez, Jaylen, Jaxon, Brett, Jaxon, Dawson, Parker, Braydin.

This was a good group of young men!

Another Snow Day In Arkansas

Well we got it again, more snow. This time there was no ice first which made life alot better. But as true to Arkansas as we can be school was and is cancelled for a couple of days.


So here we are making a snowman as a family. Regan decided that he loved making them and made like 10 all around the yard.


Kevin is cutting arms for our new dear friend...


I decided to be cool and put food coloring in the snow for eyes. Yes it did run just a little!!!






How do you know your a red neck????
Do I need to say more!


He tried to run when he saw the camera but what he didn't know is that I had been taking pictures for a while.






So to kind of give you a clue about the snow. When you look at the snowman pictures you see we used most of the snow on the grass. Well these pictures where taken about 2 hours later. There was no snow on the driveway at first, all of the sudden we couldn't find the driveway.

It was so much fun it reminded me of home for a minute.

Braydin's Bear advancement

Braydin got his advancement from a Bear. What a proud mom I am, he has come a long way. He has grown up to be a young man.


They had us do cheers in teams, so this is the group that Regan was in. Sister Brock makes these nights amazing for our boys.


This is Blake and Braydin getting patches...


Here we are with our young man, he was pinning me shirt with his Bear pin.


Like I said he is a sweet boy. I couldn't be prouder of any of my children!
