Our jungle

During planting time our house and lawn get a big neglected. When the weather is nice Bob needs to be getting the seed in the ground. So here is what our house looked like for a good three weeks.

He only took pictures of the front lawn, you should have seen the back!




He finally "mowed the hay" and it looks much better...


Random thoughts and shots

I have such a hard time deciding what pictures to post of my girls. They are all so photogenic...athough Kylie doesn't really let me take her picture! Anway here are few to enjoy.

Ellie Mae


Jorja sitting up by herself! She is growing so fast!


Lucy and her friend "Gussie"


Oh goodness me she is adorable!!!! Seriously the most adorable baby ever!

Abigail Grace

I love how my kids are so different from each other. I also love how they are changing so much. Abi has always been shy. She never liked to be in the spotlight or even get her picture taken for anything. Now she sings in the choir and poses for pictures. Here are a few from the backyard the other day...

Posing


She is one skilled hula-hooper!


Love this picture, she is so beautiful!

Wrapped how tight?

All of my kids are loved by their by all of their grandparents but little Lucy Jo has papa Darrell wrapped extremly tight around her bitty fingers. Lifesavers, yes the candy with the whole in the middle...he started giving them to her a couple of months ago. Now she thinks papa and candy mean the same thing. He always has some in his pocket for her. Here is a series of pictures of her the other day with Papa. To set the scene, he was napping in the chair outside and she came up from the field. She knew he was sleeping and didn't want to wake him...Here is what I am sure was going threw her mind...


Oh good he finally woke up...


Yes papa I said candy


Oh good he is getting it...


Oh yeah he is letting me get it out myself!


By papa!

And the smile on his face says it all!

Game on!

For those of you who know Bob, he is a jokester to put it lightly. So while we were camping he started planning a prank on my sister. Well his two co-horts went survivor on him and switched teams. They recruited Tabby and got Bob instead. They went to the church while Bob was in a board meeting and saran wrapped his truck. Then they came to our house...here is the results!






LOL! It took him 1 hour and 40 minutes to clean it up. They got him good! Way to go girls...but paybacks are coming...

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy

Lucy is becoming quite the independant little thing lately. "I twy it" and "stop it" are often heard coming out of her mouth. Yesterday she was in her chair eating mac and cheese while I was folding laundry. Abi and Ellie were home with pink eye so it was a house full of drama. Ellie comes in to tell me that Lucy is throwing her food on the floor. This doesn't happen often because like me she likes food way too much. So much to my surprise this is what I find when I walk in...

Note the mac and cheese on the wall behind her!!!



Abi took this picture later that same day. I think her face sums it all up!

Memorial Day Camping

This past Memorial Day weekend we camping like we do every year. This year we had a "new to us" trailer that fit our whole tribe. It was a blast, each year seems to get more and more fun. Here are some highlights

Kylie after being bit in the forehead by a misquito...she eyes eventually swelled shut!
