This and That...

Thank you for all my birthday wishes. I had a very nice day! Don't you all think I married the absolute BEST man in the world? He totally surprised me with his "post" on here.

I need to make something clear. Someone told me the other day, "You just have the perfect family and life. Your kids probably never do anything bad." (stop laughing, Elise) So for the record, we DO NOT have perfect kids. We are trying to raise them to be good people, but they are still just kids. Yes, I have to scrub marked up walls, clean up broken eggs off the floor, have "talks" about being nice to each other and some days, it seems like that's all I get done. But if I'm going to take time out of my day to share with you, I'm not going to dwell on the bad things.... :) So that's why you'll mostly see fun things on here, because I like to think about good things. :) I mean the Bible even says, "Whatsoever things are...good...think on these things." (okay, so that might be stretching it a little) So I hope you enjoy our blog anyway.

We have been blessed with a little man in our lives. He is the only boy out of 12 girls on both sides of our family, including Megan and Kristyn. But he is not the bravest little man you've ever seen. He doesn't like the dark, or anything scary. The other night I went to check on the kids before I went to bed and he wasn't in his bed....this is where I found him. :)

Last Saturday we went to the creek for a picnic and this is what greeted us. (just so you know we went to an entirely different part of the creek before letting the kids walk in the water. ) If we've ever had a "perfect" afternoon, this was it. :)


Kristyn is related to her Mommy and loves to look for neat rocks. :)

I was trying to take Owen's picture and all of a sudden he said, "There's a bear!" I think he was trying to distract me, so he could get out of getting his picture taken. He is so hilarious!!






Keith had the wonderful idea of taking the tripod to get a family picture! What a guy!
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!!

What fun!! And what wonderful memories you are making!! I love the pic of Kristyn & Owen in bed, especially with her hand on him like she's trying to protect him. That is so sweet! Megan looks like big stuff by the picnic basket! They're all cuties. Love you all LOTS! Mom

I love the pictures - especially the one of the three kids that you made in sepia. I'm saving that to my screen saver.
Love you all, Aunt Bev
