The littlest gamer

Every since the big purchase of a DSi this past Christmas the kiddos in my house have turned into rather intense gamers. I guess the littlest kiddo decided she better get up to speed to be a part of this family. As you can tell by the pictures, she was EXTREMELY proud of herself for getting the DSi and "stylus" in her possession.

Happy birthday Austin !

Merry Christmas !

Bryce came into the kitchen where I was , looking like this, and with a sober face said, "merry christmas mom. " He's a funny kid !

Baseball

I'm back and hopefully with a bang as I have soooo many pictures to post. I finally, with some technical help, got all the annoying issues straightened out and got that mind block out of the way so I am ready to post, post, post. This has been one of the things occupying our time this summer. It made for some very busy, fun weeks but did not last too much of the summer. Austin played this year and has in mind to play several more years so we'll see what happens. Bryce is pretty sure if Austin does it than he needs to so he'll probably play next year as well.

Mothers Day

The four reasons that I get to be called  mom or mommy. Also pictures of the breakfast that Emilee prepared for me with minimal help from her brothers. Their busy schedules : ) kept them from being able to do it on the weekend so they actually did it Wednesday instead. This was the first of three courses that they brought me. Don't know why I  didn't take pictures of everything.

Happy Easter

.... because HE IS RISEN ! !

From the mouth of....

My next to littlest sprout.
Chanting : No more monkeys

                  K-I-S-I-N-N-G (that was his spelling not typo)

The picture is the gift he so proudly came bringing me this evening saying : "Nathan thought these were weeds". Of course, like any good mommy, I told him Nathan is silly.

The Club

I'm not sure but I think this was her initiation into their cool dude club. : -)
This was supposed to get posted um, we'll say some time ago and surprise of surprises I just discovered it in my draft folder. Here it is !

Peas Anyone ?

THE LITTLEST SHOPPER

This is her prefered method of shopping: socks pulled off to chew on or drop out of the cart and toes propped up on the cart.

Camping Trip

I know you may think it horrible to let my children go camping in february but I did it ! They set up camp for a friday night camp out and had a great time.

My budding chef

Bryce has become quite fond of helping in the kitchen. From helping dip chilli to mixing up scones with me. It seems quite interesting to him to see what is actually going into his food and he proudly relays the ingredients to his siblings. I'm amazed at what he remembers from one time to the next.

February in Indiana

Does this look like a February day in Indiana to you? At this time last year I was shoveling and sweeping snow trying to keep my porch and walkways from being covered. Yesterday we put everything else aside to enjoy the absolutely gorgeous weather ,at the park. Though I don't suppose spring is here to stay, it was a wonderful tonic for "cabin fever" .
