More Highlights

The brave family members that went the top of the look out tower. This was in the middle of a battle field for the civil war.

Easter-Another Highlight

Our Trip Highlights

One of our highlights was to spend time with our cousins in Georgia.

Helping Mommy

The kids love helping Mommy with anything, especially cooking!

Wacky! Wacky! Wacky!

J all dressed up for wacky day (it was "W" week) at preschool.

We Miss You Guys!

Happy Birthday Grandma McPheters!

Cheers! We had a root beer tasting afternoon. It was quite fun!

Peaceful Eating

I just love pictures of kids asleep while trying to eat.

It's All Over

Ok, so we are doomed now that K can open doors. I found him with the door shut in my room. Maybe we will have to keep the doors locked, but we can't necessarily do that because the room that I REALLY want to keep him out of the kids need to use it go to the bathroom and they can't unlock the door. I'm not sure what we will do. I know that this phase too will pass. Also today we started his speech therapy, I hope that we can see progress soon and can communicate what he wants or needs instead of grunting/screaming/whining/crying. It's going to take work but I have hope.

If you are in Jail you are in Love

J told me the what being in love is. He told me that when you tie someone up and put them in Jail you are in love. All I have to say is, only out of the mouth of babes!

Day out with Mommy & Daddy

Half way in between birthdays Mommy and Daddy get to take each child out by themselves and have a special day together. Today was H's day. We went out to eat at Red Robin and then we went to Build a Bear. She picked out this doll to build instead of a bear. But it turned out cute and is so Hannah. She named it Ballerina Girl. She had so much fun having Mommy & Daddy all to herself and we enjoyed being with her too. What a fun day!

It's Official

We finally named our Cat. It's name is Mr. Cat. How original, isn't it? But those of you who know us that is just how we do things around here.

Cute as a Button!

Doesn't she look adorable!

Next time your husband suggests you get away, Question it!

So I didn't have a very good week this last week so Brad arranged with my parents to take me to their house overnight for me to get "Me Time". It was great! The next day before I came home I talked to Brad on the phone and he said he was out and about and that I would find out why. I thought maybe flowers or something like that. When I got home what did I come home to...A CAT!!!! I can't believe that he would get such a thing without the two of us agreeing on it. I really appreciate him for letting me have a break and appreciate all that he does for me and for our family. I am very lucky to have him as my husband, he is wonderful! I guess I will get used to the cat.

Where do kids get ideas?

H came up to me the other day asked me "Mommy, Can I go potty on the heater vent?" WHAT IN THE WORLD?? I told her no and she may never ever do it. I asked her if she already did, she told me no, but I still wonder if she did. But I haven't smelt anything odd or stinky smelling, so hopefully she hasn't.
