Okay so it has been forever since I have posted anything. I am very sorry. We have been super busy and I just have not had time to update my blog.

This past weekend Jacob flew home from Kentucky (where he went for 2 weeks) and we had to stop quickly at Wal-Mart. While we were there someone climbed into the back of Jacob's truck and stole his luggage. Yes I know it was stupid to leave it in the back of the truck, but it would not fit inside of the truck. He is just devestated. Saturday we were supposed to meet some good friends who were in from Houston but we had to go shopping for clothes. Since Jacob was gone for two weeks he had ALL of his clothes with him. He also had his three favorite pairs of shoes. We went to the Boardwalk and happened to run into our friends while we were there. We replaced his wardrobe and one pair of shoes, but he really is mad that he lost his boots.

This week has been really dull. Jacob has been working in Shreveport and helping out some friends at their houses after work. We did recieve a new pool this week from my brother-in-law and we have yet to get that put up. The kids can't wait for that to happen.

Next week will be quite uneventful as well. Jacob is headed back out of town on Sunday morning around 7 AM. He will be going to North Carolina for two weeks and then headed back to Shreveport. He will be missing our Wedding Anniversary but he will be back in town for my birthday

Turning the BIG 30. I am so nervous about that. I am hoping that Jacob is planning me a great party. I just want to have dinner with my friends and enjoy their company.

Have a great summer. There is only 4 weeks left.

We have a great weekend planned. Hannah and I are going to be going to Dallas with our bestest friends and I can't wait. We are going to be going to the American Girl Store for our "Annual" trip. Chloe and Hannah can't wait to do that. Isabelle is getting to go for the first time and she can't wait. The girls want to eat at the bistro again soooo bad. I hope that we get to do that for them.

We are also getting ready for Vacation Bible School in Bethany at my sister's church. I go every year and teach the 5th and 6th graders and we have a great time. It will be fun but it sure makes for a long week. We start at 5:15 every night and we don't get home until around 9:30. At the end of the week my kids are bears.

The week after that we start our swimming lessons and we can't wait. It will be so interesting to see how well Preston does his first year of lessons. This is our busiest month of the summer and I know it will all be worth it, but it is going to be stressful.

We are also waiting to hear about GM. I really hate waiting on them because while we wait on them to solve their problems Jacob will be out of job but we don't know how long they will be shut down this time. It is slightly stressful, not knowing where your next paycheck will come from, but I know that with trust in God we are going to be fine. We are hoping to take a vacation to Arkansas this summer to go camping at the Crater of Diamond state park. I think that we can do a trip for not much money if we do that and I know the kids will have a blast. It should be interesting because I am sooo not an outdoor person. Oh well I guess I will be now.

I remember going camping with one of my best friends growing up and it was fun. So hopefully the kids will enjoy it. They will be excited about sleeping in a tent because they are always asking to do that. It should be great.

Have a great weekend everyone.

What a great month this past month has been for our family. We have been super busy but have had a great time together. We had a great mother's day because we got to spend the day with my grandmother and my mother at my parent's house. I am so excited that God has blessed my parents with a wheelchair van so that we could bring my grandmother home for special occasion days.

The month of June is going to be extremely busy for us. We have 3 Vacation Bible Schools, Gymnastics for Hannah, swim lessons for both kids and Preston's birthday.

We are also losing some really great friends due to a job change in June so it will be a very difficult and busy month. I have been really proud of my daughter because she is doing really well. She took the news of her best friend moving ok. I think that it will hit her when they actually move, but right now she is spending as much time as she can with her and enjoying it.

My son has taken a huge step in growing up this weekend and I couldn't be prouder. He has decided to become potty trained (finally) and he started riding his bike with no training wheels. He will be 4 in June and I can't believe it. I am having a hard time because it does mean that my baby is growing up.

I hope that everyone has a great summer and really enjoys it. I know that we will.

I am finally getting around to updating. April was such a busy month for us. We had Easter, my grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary and my mom's 50th birthday party. We have not had a chance to even sit down and relax. We are now getting the chance to relax a little, but not for long.

Last weekend we built a huge cardboard box maze in our church gym and our kids in Awana's got to run through it on Sunday night. They had a blast. Kids of all ages loved it. It was so much fun building, but I am not looking forward to taking it down.

Jacob has been super busy mowing yards and so he has decided to hire a youth at the church to help him out beginning this Saturday. It will be good because he will get done mowing way earlier than normal. I am glad and so is Dustin (the kid that will be helping him).

My grandmother has been in the hospital, but is scheduled to go home today. I am hoping that she will be well enough to come to my parents house for mother's day lunch on Sunday. She really enjoys coming over and seeing all of the kids there. I think that we wear her out, but I know that she also loves seeing them so it doesn't bother her that much.

We are having a Cinco De Mayo party today at my house and will be busting a pinata soon. My kids are so excited about it. They can't wait to get candy. It is going to be an exciting week.

Ok Well we have been so busy that I have not had a chance to update or anything.
After Easter weekend we went to San Antonio last week and had a great time.
We arrived in San Antonio on Tuesday evening with my mom, dad, sister, niece and Uncle Gilbert. We had a great time relaxing on Tuesday and then Wednesday it was time to work. We went to my mom's parents house and Jacob, my dad, and my uncle started laying a wood floor at the house. It was alot of work, but they got it done in one day and it looks great. I have put some pictures blow. Then my whole family arrived on Thursday evening at the house that we rented for the week. There were 15 of us staying in this house and it was great. We had a fishing pond and a basketball court, a covered pavilion and a TV in every room of the house. There was also a ping pong table and an air hockey table. The kids had a blast being together.

On Friday evening my grandparents came over and we had a huge family picnic with about 60-70 people coming. It was really great to see alot of my great aunts and great uncles. Alot of my second cousins were there and it was alot of fun catching up with everyone. We went fishing on Friday night and one of my cousins and his friend caught a big catfish. On Saturday we got up and had a nice reception for my grandparents and we took some family pictures.

We left the reception for my grandparents early and headed off to Dallas for a family vacation with just the 4 of us. We ended up going to the Great Wolf Lodge and waterpark. It was a blast. The kids loved getting to go swimming even though it was a bit chilly outside and I really enjoyed it as well. We stayed most of the day at the waterpark on Sunday and then we headed home. I was so glad to get home and get to relax.

Now this week is my mom's birthday week and so we have to get ready for her party on Saturday and then I hope that we get a little break before Summer starts.

This weekend was a wonderful and exciting weekend. We had a really good time on Saturday morning in Minden at the Easter Egg Hunt with my parents. They hid 10,000 eggs and had about 135 kids or so. It was a blast. The Easter Bunny was there and they had a hayride and an Easter Bonnet contest. The kids loved it and they got so many eggs.

Then we came home and had our annual Speight family Easter party. It was so much fun. Jacob's family came over and we grilled burgers and hot dogs. We hid about 350 eggs and there were six kids that got to hunt for them. They had a blast. Then my mother in law and sis in law gave all of the kids these huge baskets full for Easter and Jacob's aunt gave them a baggie full of easter candy. We have so much Easter candy I don't know what to do with all of it. On Sunday morning the kids got their Easter baskets from the Easter bunny and loved everything in it.
We went and did our third Egg hunt at the Langford's house on Sunday afternoon. It was fun but raining.

This morning I did not have kids to watch, but I did have some errands to run. Preston and I had a great time spending the day together. We even got to go on a lunch date to Cici's. That is Preston's favorite place to eat. We then came home and he took a 3 hour nap before we had to get up and go pick up sister from school.

Tonight we have been packing for our vacation and I am so excited to be leaving tomorrow. We are going to have fun even though we will be working hard. I love going to San Antonio and visiting my family. I am hoping to get to take the kids to Promised Land Dairy while we are there. It is really neat there and we get to feed the cows and the kids get to pretend to milk a cow. They really like it there so I hope that we get the chance to go there. I am really excited about getting to see my mom's family.

Today is a good day so far and it is my last full day of work because Friday I have off and next week I have off to go out of town. I am so excited about getting to take a mini vacation. We are going to get to see lots of family that we haven't seen in a while and we will get to help my grandparents celebrate their 50th Wedding anniversary. I am so excited.

This weekend we are going to be pretty busy. I am going to try to talk Jacob into taking Hannah on a date to see the Miley Cyrus movie on Friday night and then Saturday we are going to the biggest Easter Egg Hunt in Minden that we have ever been too. It is going to be a blast. Then we are going to be coming home for our annual Speight Family Easter Egg Hunt and Party at our house. That will be a blast. Sunday we have church in the morning and then we will be going to my brother in laws parents house for Easter dinner. Then we get to rest and pack for our upcoming trip. I love short weeks.
