Busy, Busy, Busy!!!!

WOW! I can't believe how much has happened in the last month. We have been going non stop! After Easter Mom and I painted for two weeks straight! I am so thankful that Wes could stay home with the boys. We were able to get all our plates done that we needed to for Mother's day. I going to try and update our website later with all the new plates. We did probably 70 plates in 2 months and about 30 of them the last two weeks! Then it was Micah's birthday and our trip to Tulsa. We are finally getting back to normal around here. Mom and I still have a few more plates to finish from our last party...and of course we are both sick. Things are not going to slow down much...but at least I can catch up on blogging. Sorry for those of you that have been wondering what happened to me...I am still here and thanks for caring!! So...you have lots to read if you want to catch up on the Fikes. Enjoy! 

Happy Mother's Day!!! 

I hope all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day! 
The boys got me flowers...red and pink because Sam has decided that those are my favorite colors, even though my favorite color is just red. And Wes got me a blanket with the boys pictures all over it. I love it!!! I love being a mom so much...I can't find words to describe it. My heart melts everytime they say " I love you Mommy" which I am sure that all of you understand. And we were lucky enough to spend the day with my mom and all my family. Audrey has not left for London yet and is living with mom and day until the end of the month so we get to see her alot! I hope that I will be the same kind of mom to my boys that my mom was to me. She is my best friend and someone that I admire so much! I love you Mom!!!

Trip to Tulsa

All of my Mom's family lives in Tulsa and it had been too long since our last trip. 
So... I packed the boys up and we jumped on a plane to Tulsa
with Mom and Audrey for a week in Tulsa. 
My cousin Melissa has two boys. Sean, who is Micah's age and
Christian... is brand new! 
The boys with MamMaw
We had a great time playing at the park and being together






This was Micah's first time to fly and Sam was a baby when he flew last, 
so...they were really excited! 
They did a great job! 
I was so glad to have Mom and Audrey there to help! 


We had a fun trip! I loved flying with the boys...
so much better than 8 hours in the car! 

Happy Birthday Micah James!!!

My baby is now 2 years old!!! 
I can't believe it! I don't know where the time goes. 
We had a Cars/McQueen Birthday Party because the kid is obsessed! 
It was great because we already had so much we could use. 

So Welcome to the Fikes Motor Speedway! 
Here is the Birthday Boy! 
The cake that Mom and I whipped up! 
I almost didn't make a cake, but Sam had one...
so Micah had to have one too. 
And the cupcakes...
Kids tables with their Sand Buckets for the favors
 (Gotta love the Dollar Tree)
Aunt Audrey, Uncle Taylor, and Uncle Justin surprised Micah with a 
huge McQueen jumper! 
He loved it!!! 
My family, we were so excited that Uncle Taylor was home from London. 
(At least for a few days)
Micah loves his Uncle Taylor! 
Chris and Tonya drove all the way from Abilene to join in the fun! 
We even had races...
The first heat was the little guys. 
Then the big boys got to race. 
Sam was determined to win! 
All the big boys
Micah got to start the race for the big boys
Trying to get a family picture...
Didn't quite get what I wanted. 
Everyone had a great time! 
And of course...
we had to go to CiCi's after the party. 
Micah's favorite place to eat! 


It was a great day! 
Happy Birthday Micah James! 

Pre-Birthday Fun

Micah James turned two on the 2nd and the Thursday before Mom and Dad took us to a jumping place because Micah's favorite thing to do is jump! 


Dad was tired after about 10 minutes




We had a great time and Micah loved it! 
Thanks BeBop and PopPop!
