What we can find in our backyard

Our house has alot of land around it with lots of cool areas to take pictures. We took these pictures on our way to pick wild blackberries!! Yummy :)

I took a picture of these ducks who have taken a liking to our pond.

It's Been Awhile... I Know!!

Life in the Bledsoe househould has been crazy and busy as usual. Between the two little ones and Luke being gone (he's traveled to Georgia, Vegas, and now Alaska) I just haven't had time to keep up with the blog. Here are some pictures over the last two months.

Landen taking his sissy on a ride. This picture was taken right before he peeled out on a turn and wrecked it. Scared mommy to death!! Thankfully he was ok and has a cool scar to show for it. Needless to say, he is a lot more careful on his Harley.

Having fun playing in the sprinkler and eating ice cream.

Moved on from eating ice cream to a sucker.  We sure know how to kick off the summer season. :)

We took GG to the beach for her 83 birthday!! We had a blast even though the water was still a little cold. Hopefully more pictures to come. These are all from my iphone. Another reason why I love it so much, it makes my life easier when it comes to posting pics!!

At the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. We went to Indiana for a few weeks while Luke went to Vegas. Our trip flew by!! We had a great time and stayed really busy. It seems like we do so much but still  never get to see all the people we want to while we are there. But if you missed us this month we will be back up the end of July!

Lately, Janna Lynn likes to play with Landen's toys while he takes a nap. This is her trying on his flight suit. She thought she was big stuff. She wants to do everything her big brother does. :)

At an Indians game with Pop Pop. One of my favorite things to do during the summer in Indiana.

This is Janna Lynn's idea of smiling for the camera. :)

Lots more pictures to come! This is all you get tonight cuz that's all I have time to upload. :)

My New Ride!!

If it wasn't official already, it's official now. I am SPOILED!!! Thanks honey for my BEAUTIFUL new car!! I LOVE IT and I LOVE YOU!!

Luke brought my new ride home this weekend. He's been in Georgia for the last week and a half (found out the night before that he was going to be gone for up to 4 weeks..not good news for me, especially since he is already suppose to be gone the whole month of May too :( ) Anyways, we got to spend the weekend together before he headed back.  He traveled alot of hours to get me my car and spend time with us as a family. Another reason why I love this man!!

Randomness

I know I haven't posted as much as normal, but I just haven't had time! Luke has been working ALOT and kids have been keeping my really busy. So I am making myself sit down and put  random pictures from the last few months. Enjoy!

Janna Lynn is walking!! EVERYWHERE!!! Here's a picture of her chasing the geese at the park. The girl has NO FEAR!

Luke dropped Toby off with his new family last Saturday. We decided to find him a new home before we have to move again (possibly to Korea, where we couldn't take him) and knew it would be easier for the kids if we did it now versus waiting till we move. We really miss him, but know he is going to have fun living on 11 acres with a family that seems really nice.

The kids going to "school". Landen loves to play pretend school with sissy.

And, if you can believe it I did not take any pictures of Landen's party (gasp!!!...I know I can't belive it either) I was trying hard not to forget to take video that I totally forgot to get still shots. Where were you at Uncle John when I needed ya. :) I did get a picture of the birthday boy after the party in his full Spiderman attire.

That's our crazy beautiful girl after bath time.

Landen climbing like Spiderman..who else. :)

Baby girl likes to eat..and doesn't hesitate to dig into everything put in front of her. I'm pretty sure this was spaghetti night. :)

An attempt at getting pictures of the kiddos

So I have been wanting to take some new pictures of the kiddos all week and finally decided to take them to the park to get a few shots. I don't know why my kids are the hardest to take pictures of, but they are!! They refuse to let me take a picture of them together!! Anyways, after much frustation here are a few that actually turned out.

We will try again next week....if mommy gets brave. :)

Oh, and if you want to view some really adorable newborn pictures check out my photography blog. http://www.raleighannphotography.blogspot.com/  But, just to warn you they are super cute and may cause you to want one or another of your own!!

SNOW in South Carolina?!?!!

Yeap...that's right!! SNOW!! South Carolina hasn't seen this much snow since 1958! It was awesome! We got home from a church function and the boys couldn't wait until morning to go out and play. The girls stayed on the front porch, snuggled under a blanket, and took pictures of the boys having a good time. 

Our snowman we made this morning!!

The boys playing outside last night

The view from our back porch this morning

The Man of the House is HOME!!!

After four LONG months Luke is home!!! Words cannot express how happy we are to see him and love on him. :) We are so proud of you honey and all the men and women who serve and protect this country. The world is a little safer because of you. THANK YOU!!

This picture was just shortly after Landen ran to daddy after he got off the plane. What a wonderful moment!

At our house. Waiting to pick up daddy at the hangar. Sporting their cute tiger outfits. :)

A picture of me and my dear friend Ashley. I don't think I would have gotten through this deployment without her. With us each having two little ones we managed to keep each other sane till our hubbies returned.
