Mayday! Maday!

Owen and I had just went and got Kristyn from school and I walked in the house and I hear, "Momma, Momma" It wasn't a distress call, but I knew whoever it was, they wanted me to come see something. When I walked out, this is what I saw.
Owen, in all of his three year old wisdom had drug the slide to the side of the tree so he could get up to the first limb. He was VERY proud of his accomplishments.....me, not so much!!!
Cowboy boots and all!
Keith was trying to tell him how to get down.
Keith looked at me and screeched, "He's only THREE years old!" I told him, I remember climbing trees with I was three years old and he said, "Yeah, I probably did too, but that's different!" :)
I'm happy to report, they both survived the experience.....Owen a little better than his daddy I think. ;)

A Visit and A Birthday...

Grandma came for a visit last week and we ALL thoroughly enjoyed her being here. We even took Kristyn out of school early one day to go to the park. :)




Thank you for coming!!!

Last week, Megan turned 2 years old. It's so hard to believe that she is that old already. Keith and I were talking the other night and it just seems like yesterday, we were visiting her in the "Special Care" nursery when she looked like this:
and now, she looks like this:
We are SO blessed!! She had a wonderful birthday, we spent the whole day outside enjoying the nice weather and having fun as a family! (Grandma had to go home on her birthday, but we celebrated the night before.)

Here are some of her presents. :)
She was very happy to get a "Big" Bible. Kristyn and Owen have theirs that they take to church and she would always whine around about having to take her little New Testament. :) She was VERY proud to take her Bible to church on Sunday and I saw her showing several people her new Bible. :)


Having fun in the leaves!!!

A Little Bit of Everything....

My mom sent me these pictures of when Owen was down there at their house. Looks like he had it rough. :)


Last week Kristyn had "show and tell" at school and she needed to take something that started with a "T". She decided she wanted to take her tea set and have a tea party.....I'm sure the boys were thrilled!
Our growing little man.
The other day, I found Megan in the corner with the picnic basket having her own little tea party. She was quite pleased with herself.

This morning I heard Owen screeching in the garage about something. He was in a panic/overwhelmed state when he found me. I tried to get a picture of his face, but then he just smiled. He told me there was a "ooooge" mouse in the garage. It was so funny to see him like that....terrible mother, I know.

At least it's not like the visitor that Mandy had last week. :/
Best Buddies!!

Silhouettes...

I was reading last week about taking silhouette pictures and I thought if the sun ever came out in this part of the country, I'd love to try taking a silhouette picture. Well, Friday afternoon we were out picking pears and sure enough, the sun came out. So the whole family stopped and we tried our hand at silhouettes. :)

This is probably my favorite! It's hard to believe it was a bright sunny afternoon, looking at these pictures.
Keith took this one of Owen....also one of my favorites.
Kristyn had her hair in pig tails so her head shape is a bit strange, but this is one of my favorites, too. Well, I guess they are all my favorite! :)

We still have a bit to learn because I think in silhouettes the image in front is supposed to be all black, but I don't think it was too bad for our first time around. Tell me what you think?

Danny Boy.......

Isn't he a cutie?

Question of the Day......

A lady said to me this morning, "Wow! Do you run a day care?"

"Nope", I replied, "they're ALL mine!" (HUGE smile)

"Oh wow!"

Now tell me, how could you think I run a daycare after seeing these precious, little ankle-biters....er, I mean darlings????

Yep, they're all mine and I'm proud of it!!! ;) (in a good way, of course)
