Some recent events in our life......

A group pic of the kids.....This was not jasons best day to take pictures..very few came out okay.

Alaina being the dare devil she is ....

Kylie, going to join sissy.....

Jason, wondering if he dares to pull the flowers or run....He ran.

Alaina being silly....

My monkeys, I think they really really wanted to climb this tree...

This is what we did in between torrential downpours.....played in the mud puddles...what else. lol

and again....Kylie was running from Alaina and her bowl of water...only after Kylie had poured water on Alaina.

Buffalo or Bison whichever you call them. We call them Buffalo. They were at the place that we took a mini vacation.

Baby Buffalo....This is as close as I dared to get to them with the mommas around. I really wish I had a bigger lens for my camera. One thing at a time though....

A deer on our vacation...

The kiddos after a long day in the car....cause it rained most of our mini vacation so there was not any time to get out and run around....but they were great for being in the car for so long....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I was going to post some pictures on here today but Blogger is not letting me. I will try to get them posted next week WE are going to my familys for the holidays and they have dial up internet and I am too impatient to try to work with that so for now, I leave you with this....

What we have been up to and Halloween Pictures.

My princess Bear! She was so cute!

My Grown up girl... The story behind this. When I was asking them what they wanted to be for Halloween, Kylie said she wanted to be a Mommy and when I asked her why.... because Mommy's are the best.. (sniff sniff...tears and lots of them..cause I dont think I am a good mommy alot of times. ) So she was a mommy. So pretty and grown up looking....Made her Daddy cry..

And the following pictures are of what we have been up to here lately. Sadly, the kitten whom Kylie claimed as hers and named Pumpkin because we found him in October, passed on this morning. We found him in our yard about 2 weeks ago, (our dog was playing with him.) He seemed to be about 3 weeks old. He was doing great and last week when it got really cold, he got sick....I have been caring for him and trying to keep him going....but he just wasnt strong enough...needless to say, we are having a sad day....he was pretty special..

Jason and Cat Kitty....not Kitty Cat...but Cat Kitty...so cute.

Alaina and pumpkin. She finally warmed up to him scratching her.

Kylie and her kitty. She gets very attached to things. She is my overly sensitive child. I am trying to think of something to make it better....any suggestions...

I have pictures of our Camp out we had at our Church this weekend for Halloween for the kids. I will try to post them later tonight or tommorow. Right now, I have a 5 yr old who needs comforting.

The crew! It is very hard to get them to sit still or even this close together for very long at a time... The girls with Jack riding Molly...

Fun with bubble wrap..Paul had tons of it from work so we have been playing on it on rainy or too cold days..

Jason plays in the Bubble wrap too..he just cant stand it for very long periods of time....

My babies. and yes Alaina almost always has that look on her face..especially when she dont get her way..and Kylie is always that bossy..lol

My baby boy riding molly mule (our uncle Kermits old mule.) with Jesse and Jack helping...He loves horses..I am just too afraid to let him on the bigger ones...I'll take some pics of them in a couple of weekends and you'll see why..lol

I dont think I ever got to share pictures of Kylies Birthday so here are some of that.


Praying over her cupcakes..:)

The Cupcakes

Jason had fun tearing up the bags and stuff....
Alaina opening a puzzle with PaPa and KK on the side..

Kylie and her Granny...This Granny has more fun with them. She is such a big kid...Love Ya Mom...

And that is my pictures for now...I have more I need to get loaded on the computer...but I am haveing lots of other things to do for now...

Many Blessings

Pictures

I wanted to post a few pictures today. Just to catch up on what the kids are doing now......

The above two of the girls is what we do most days now when it is not raining....Jason was playing with Jack and the dogs while the girls played in the sand pile.....there is not a clear picture of them. lol...Imagine that, two boys and dogs and not a clear picture.
This is Jasons new hair cut! Granny gave him a trim about a month ago but it was getting thick and long again so Daddy gave him one last night....He is so cute with it...I just cant believe my little boy is old enough for a haircut...

This was him before his haircut. It was getting pretty long. Now he looks like a completely different boy.

Gotta go play outside now before it rains.

Love and prayers

Pictures!

I finally got around to taking some new pictures today. Thought i would post them. I will be back to posting before too long. I just need to iron out a few more things around here.....

Arent they just georgous? I know I am a proud momma but they are so cute....

We got their hats at Old Navy the other day for $3.50 a piece. Jack had a gift card to use and we found these and got the girls some tights and Jason a shirt..they had their kids clothes on sale for half off. I wish I had more money but that is not what I need right now so I am not going to gripe too much. God will provide. Hey, I had the money to get these and some tights too keep them warm. They love tobagans and I cant resist buying them even if they have a dozen already. you never can find the same one twice in this house. lol.

I have been accomplishing alot her lately. It dont really look like it but we have. After today, It is back to my Zone cleaning schedule. I still need to deep clean my kitchen but that will come when I have time. I am not going to take the time away from my kids to get it done. And here lately they have needed me more than the kitchen.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.

Love and Prayers

This is my three Jason was about 7 weeks old. The girls were playing dress up in their pretty dresses and i decided that some of these would be his six week pictures instead of going to Wal Mart and paying $50-60.
