SIBLING BABYSITTING!


WELL, I'M SO MAD THESE PICS ARE BLURRY, BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAMERA! I THOUGHT THEY WERE FUNNY, SO I POSTED THEM ANYWHOO. WELL, STORY GOES I HAD TO GET DINNER GOING, SO I ASKED CONNER AND TAYLOR TO PLAY WITH PRESLEY, USUALLY THIS LASTS A FEW SECONDS, BUT TO MY SURPRISE ABOUT TEN MINUTES WENT BY AND THEY WERE ALL STILL HAVING A GOOD TIME, SO I LEFT THEM ALONE. WELL, THE GIGGLING BECAME A LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL, AND WHEN I WENT TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, THIS IS WHAT I FOUND! CONNER AND TAYLOR WERE LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY, AND PRESLEY WAS COVERED IN SCOOBYDOO STICKERS! SHE HAD THEM ALL OVER HER HEAD,FACE AND BACK. THEY USED ABOUT FOUR SHEETS OF STICKERS! THE KIDS WERE LAUGHING SO HARD BECAUSE PRESLEY WAS TRYING TO EAT THE ONE HANGING FROM HER NOSE! THE CLEANUP WAS NOT SO PLEASANT THOUGH, OUCH! MAINLY THE ONES THEY PUT IN HER HAIR, I HAVE TO ADMIT THOUGH IT WAS KIDA FUNNY TO SEE PRESLEY YELL AT THEM WHEN THEY WOULD PULL THEM OFF. SHE DIDN'T EVER CRY, BUT SHE DID SHOW THEM SHE DIDN'T APPRECIATE IT. OH, FUNNY TIMES.

SWEET BABY



I DECIDED TO TAKE SOME PICTURES FOR OUR WALL, AND USUALLY WHEN I DO THIS NO ONE COOPERATES! BUT I DO HAVE TO HAND IT TO PRESLEY THIS TIME, SHE DID GREAT. I GOT A FEW PICTURES WITH HER SMILING, BUT THIS ONE I LOVED THE MOST. HER CUTE LITTLE LIPS ALL PUCKERED UP, SHE EVEN LOOKS LIKE SHE'S WEARING LIP GLOSS ( I PROMISE I DID NOT PUT LIP GLOSS ON HER) LITTLE BABIES ARE JUST SO CUTE, I LOVE THEM! WELL, HAPPY PHOTO SHOOTING TO YOU ALL!

FISHING!





Once again, it's not the season for these pictures, but we took these right before it got cold, and i just love them! The kids were soooo excited to go fishing with dad, and we all had a really good time. We did catch a fish, a big one too, but we put it on the dock to photo it, and it jumped back in the water. ( i promise, we did really catch one, that's watch the kids are looking for in the photo!) This pond is a neat little private pond out by our house. it's so convenient to take the kids there in the evenings to let them watch the fish. I am actually the only one in the family who will eat fish, so we always do the catch and release thing, nice for the fish i guess! We had a lot of fun this last summer getting use to our new little town, and now we're all ready for this summer, with plenty to keep us busy. It's been quite an adaption comeing to Moses Lake, but it has it's hidden beauties, you just have to look a little farther.








MY HUBBY AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED SEVEN PLUS YEARS, AND I DONT THINK WE HAVE EVER HAD OUR PICTURE TAKEN TOGETHER, JUST THE TWO OF US. SO, I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO TRY AND GET A GOOD PHOTO OF US, AND SO I HOPE YALL LAUGH AT OUR PHOTO SHOOT, CAUSE IT TOOK US QUITE A FEW TAKES TO GET ANYTHING DECENT, I GUESS WE COULD HAVE SAVED A LOT OF TIME IF WE WOULD HAVE HIRED SOMEONE TO DO IT, BUT THEN YALL WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ENJOY OUR LITTLE PHOTO SHOOT. I LOVE MY HUBBY. IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS WE HAVE GONE THROUGH A LOT, AT TIMES WE'VE HAD TO FIGHT TO KEEP IT ALL TOGETHER, BUT WE ALWAYS COME OUT TOGETHER. ONE DAY WE'LL BE OLD AND ROCKIN IN OUR POURCH CHAIRS TALKING ABOUT ALL THE STUFF WE DID, AND NOT SO MUCH THE STUFF WE DIDN'T. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT ENJOY IT, EVEN IF IT'S IN BITS AND PIECES, AND IF WE DIDN'T STRUGGLE, WHAT WOULD WE BE GREATFUL FOR? EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN LOT IN LIFE, THEIR OWN DREAMS, PLANS AND HOPES, BUT HOPEFULLY WE ALL FIND JOY IN THE SIMPLICITY OF LIFE, THE STRENGTH OF EACHOTHER, AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE LOVED. IF THERE IS SOMETHING IN LIFE I HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH, IT'S IN THE SIMPLICITY OF JUST BEING. BEING WHO YOU ARE, LOVING THOSE THAT NEED EXTRA LOVE, TEACHING THOSE WHO SEEK FOR A GREATER KNOWLEDGE, AND MAKING A HOUSE A HOME, NO MATTER WHO COMES TO STAY, SHORT OR LONG. I LOVE MY HUBBY AND THE WORK HE PUTS INTO KEEPING OUR BOAT AFLOAT. I KNOW WITH HIM ON BOARD WE CAN SAIL FOR A LONG TIME, AND WHEN OUR TIME HAS COME, WE'LL SET SAIL ON A WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE, TOGETHER. LOVE YOU BABE!

CIRCLE TRACK



I know it's not really the season for this picture, but I came across it today, and I just love it! It's just so peaceful. I remember on this day Conner wanted to walk the track to find out how far it went. He started off good, but then he figured out that the closer he got, the wetter he became. Circle tracks don't move very fast, but there was a slight wind this particular day. Still, he looked so cute out in his cowboy hat and sunglasses walking the track. What a fun trail for a kid! Sometimes I thing we take for grantite all the little things in life that can teach us something, or occupy our minds a little while, or help us to discover something new. Conner definately discovered something this day, and he had fun doing it.

CHRISTMAS





TAYLOR AND CONNER WERE WAY EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS. CONNER WAS EVEN REQUESTING THAT PRESLEY SLEEP OVER AT MARY'S HOUSE, CAUSE IF SHE WOKE UP IN THE NIGHT CRYING, AND SANTA WAS THERE HE WOULDN'T LEAVE GIFTS BECAUSE HE WOULD THINK EVERYONE WAS NOT IN BED! WE ASSURED CONNER SANTA WOULD FORGIVE HER. TOTS ASKED FOR A PRINCESS CASTLE AND SANTA DELIVERED JUST THAT, WITH PRINCESS PHOTOS ON IT AS WELL, SHE LOVES IT. CONNER ASKED SANTA TO BRING HIM A BIG TRAILOR LOADED WITH HOARSE, AND ONCE AGAIN SANTA FOUND IT! WE MUST HAVE HAD A SUPER SANTA THIS YEAR! THE KIDS ALSO GOT BIKES, WE TRIED RIDING THEM IN THE SNOW, BUT IT DIDN'T GO SO WELL, SO WE'LL WAIT TILL THE WEATHER WARMS UP A BIT AND TRY AGAIN. THE KIDS ENJOYED ALL THEIR SWEET GIFTS. WE HOPE YALL HAD A GOOD ONE, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
