Shoebox Parade and some Little Rascals :)

Despite two visits to the ER this past weekend when the entire family (minus Peyton, thank goodness) came down with a HORRIBLE stomach virus, we had lots of fun last Thursday and Friday. Thursday the kids had a Shoebox Parade for Fiesta at their new daycare so Hayden (aka Daddy) and Peyton (aka Mommy) made floats for the parade. Friday we had friends over for a cook-out and got ALL the babbies together for the first time, which was so fun! Here are some pics for you to enjoy.
Love to all,

MASTERS DEGREE!!!!

I normally brag on my kids, or husband, or parents, or in-laws, or friends, but just for today I have to brag on myself!! I PASSED MY MASTERS EXAM TODAY!!! I took the written portion on Monday (it was four hours long and covered 500 years worth of literature...no biggie, right?) and I took my oral today (which consists of three professors questioning you for an hour). After you finish the oral you are asked to step outside while the panel confers and decides your fate. I stood outside for maybe two minutes and then all three professors came out and told me, "CONGRATULATIONS!" I haven't been this relieved in a LOOOOOONG time!! Thanks to my husband, kids, parents, in-laws, aunts, cousins, and friends for ALL of your support during the past few months!!! I know I have been a woman possessed and not much fun, so I thank you for putting up with me. Now all I have left is one more presentation and three final papers and then I will officially have a MA in English Literature!!! Yay!
Love to you all,
S;)

Introducing Kade and Kynlee Hays...

Here are some CUTE pictures of the twins with their proud parents!!! The latest news on everyone is that Pat and Angel will get to go home from the hospital some time today. The babies are still in the NICU where they will stay for the next few days/weeks as the doctors deem necessary for their growth/health. Both babies are doing very well, but with twins these kinds of precauations are always taken in order to stabilize their body temps, feedings, going potty, and other things ;) We haven't seen or held the babies yet, but I can definitely speak for myself when I say I can' WAIT to get my hands on those two cutie pies! Enjoy the pics!
Love,
S:)
