I hosted a craft party where I showed all the girls how to make bows. We made hair clips, earrings, and bracelets. It was so fun and all the girls caught on fast and did such a grest job!
The Northstar Wives
My friend Christine hosted a party where we all brought either a desserrt or entre. I brought Vanilla custard. We all enjoyed eachothers food and exchanged recipes. Christine did a demonstration on how to make spring rolls; she did reat and not to mention, they were fabulous! It was such a blast!


My little man Talon. He just started walking; it's so dang cute!
Nate's Dad is out here working for the same company.It's so nice to have him around since we don't see him as much as we'd like before he started this job. He comes over for Dinner almost every night which makes cooking funner for me since I have somebody else to try to impress! Lol! He takes the kids to church every Sunday and boy do the kids love it! They talk about it all week and how they wish it were Sunday to go with Grandpa; it's so cute! After church they go to Mcdonald's every time. It's like their Sunday tradition now. I love it cause it's a day date for Nate and I for about 4 hours every Sunday, it's really nice and I always look forward to it!
Nate and I went on a date last night to the movies. We saw "The Killers" it was really cute! Jess and Mike watched the kids. Thanks again you guys! We had a blast. I love date nights!

Charlotte North Carolina


We finally left Little Rock to our new destination in Charlotte NC. We stopped in Nashville TN and got a hotel for the night. We went to a cool mexican restraunt and enjoyed relaxing and just watching tv. The next morning we headed out, drove another 6 hours and finally made it. I love our apartment, it's by far the nicest one yet and Charlotte seems pretty cool so far!
Jess and I went and saw Eclipse. I loved it and it was for sure my favorite one so far! Then I took the kids to go see how to train your dragon. What a cute movie; one I definately want to buy when it comes out on dvd. Tylar was a little whiney and asked a few times to go home so I had to intrigue her with the movie and talk to her what she thought would happen. It kept her occupied and we enjoyed it!
The 4th of July Northstar had a get together at the pool where they barbequed, played volleyball, tossing balls around and everyone hangin out chattin. It was a great way for Jess and I to meet all the new wives out here, which by the way there's about 16 including us. They are all so nice and super cool! Were really excited since it was just Jess and I in LR and now we have a bunch of girls to hang out with. They are always sending texts of everything goin on. I really look forward to all the new things to do and the girl get togethers!

Nate, the kids and I went down town later to watch the fireworks show, it was really fun but of course overly crowded and chaotic but well worth it.


The kids and I have been going to the pool a lot lately, they love it so much! One time we went with Sarah, one of the wives out here and her kids that are the same age as mine. Braxton made a couple new friends already and is super stoked about it.
Some of  us girls got together and went to this cool place called Dan Nicholas Park. It was over an hour away from Charlotte but well worth it. It had paddle boats, carousel rides,a petting barn, spray pads, gem mine and lots more. It was one of the coolest kid friendly places I've been to in a while; we all had such a blast!!!!
Kim and her daughter went on together, Christine, Jess and her kids on another and my kids and I on one. It was probably my favorite but wow what a leg work out or I'm just really out of shape! Lol
Braxton helped me paddle most of the time and Tylar was doing some steering, team work!
The whole dang gang!
The Petting Barn

The Carousel ride. I think this one was Tylar's favorite! She went on with Christine who she really likes a lot. It was so cute. Braxton felt like such a big boy going on his own pet with out an adult. They loved it!
We went to this Gem Mine where you buy a bucket of dirt and then you sift through it in the water. This was definately Braxton's favorite since he loves rocks so much. They both ended up with a descent bag of rocks and gems that were all sorts of colors. Awesome place!!
