Work It!!!

This past week the boys and I got to work at 

MawMaw and PopPop's store McKinney's.

Just a quick insight,

My parents own a pet store called The Snake Pit and 

recently opened up a pet supply store just a few months ago called

McKinney's.

McKinney's caters to mainly dog and cat lovers although it does have

stuff for small animals and fish owners too!!

I worked at The Snake Pit for years while growing up and while

going to college, so creepy crawlies and bugs don't really bother me.

My specialty is fish but I know quite a lot about all kinds of animals.

Now McKinney's is kinda awesome because there aren't any animals there for the 

people who are a little afraid to go into The Snake Pit.

We have an office and a playroom for all the babies so it makes it so easy to take

the boys to work with me whenever I am needed.

Big K really was enjoying the dog house!!!

He is the biggest goof ball in the world!!!

Goodness at the stuff this boy can get in to!!!

And of course I had my Lil' K with me!!

I don't go too many places without him!!!  

It's quite an adventure taking these two but I am beyond blessed to 

be able to have them with me!!!

Much Love 

The Poppys!!!

It's here!!! It's finally here!!!

Fall is my most favorite time of year.....

LIKE F.A.V.O.R.I.T.E.......

I can't emphasize how this season makes me all giddy like a little girl!!!

So to kick start the season I, of course, had to get out all of the decorations!!!

And this pretty cute wreath I made!!!

And then we had a cook out with some pretty great friends!!

The James and Megows!!

Between our 3 families we have 10 kids!!!

It's some awesome fun when we all get together to say the least!!

All of us have completely different personalities but have a united love for family (even each others families) and great friendships!!

Our children range in age from 5 years old and younger.

We have 1-5 year old, 1-4 year old, 3-3 year olds, 1-2 year old, 2-1 year olds, and 2-babies!!

Here is Daddy cooking it up!!!  

He did a pretty good job if you ask me!!  

I love seeing that handsome man at the grill!!  <3

Mr. Megow!!!  

Lil' K loved hanging out with Benn!!  

He sat with him for atleast an hour and a half!!!

Which was a huge help to me while making sure all my guests were taken care of and the kiddos were fed!!

LIz!!!  

We will get a better pic of my beautiful friend soon!!!  :)

Crissy and Olive!!

That baby loves her Mama!!

And here is the rest of the crew

minus Sam who decided to stay with his grandma

and miss out on all this craziness....ummm, fun, I mean!!

I am looking forward to many more great get togethers this year 

with these guys!!

My nerdy little self is already planning our next one!!!

Keep an eye out....

s'mores and bonfire night is coming soon!!!

Many Blessings!!

Here We Go!!!

So here we go!!!  I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now to keep up with EVERYTHING!!  Well, all the cool, cute, crazy things my children do.  This seems so much easier than scrap booking. And honestly, with 3 children 3 years old and younger there just isn't much time to sit down and scrap book.  If you have this and can still scrap book then major Kudos to you but this girl just can't fit it in!!! 

We are the Poppys!!!

There are 5 of us!!!  Yes, 5!!

My husband and I have been married for 5 years and our family has grown from 2 people absolutely crazy about each other to 5 crazy funky monkeys!!

Being a mom of 3 is pretty awesome yet quite a job!!!

I'm Mama!!!

This is Daddy!!

Booey!!

Big K!!

and finally Lil' K!!!

I am madly in love with my family, my husband and my God!!

This is the beginning of an awesome journey....the journey of our lives.  I hope my children will love being able to go back and see how we lived, what we did and the fierce passion that I have for them, as they grow older. And that this blog will be an awesome tool to achieve this!!!  Much love to all of you who follow!!!
