Sleepy Boy

I wonder if I'll ever know what it's like to sleep like this again?  :)

Out!

And the camera woke him up...oops!

Kiddos

Ace, 2 years; AJ, 7 1/2 months; Finley, 4 years

The Boys!

It's been a while since I've posted a photo of these two...gotta show some love to my two oldest!  :)

He's All Better!

A few weeks ago we saw an injured bunny in our yard...we're guessing it was hit by a car. This really upset both Finley & Ace!  Our neighbor came to the rescue, for all of us, and took the bunny to "the doctor".  :)  Well the other night I saw a bunny outside and pointed it out to the kids...to which Finley responded, "MOM!  It's the one that Steve took to the doctor, he's all better!"  

So excited that the bunny is healed!

I thought the bunny looked a little plump...we might have even more bunnies in the near future!

Evening Golf

Brent took the kids out onto the golf course a couple evenings last week.  I know it was a treat for all three of them!  He waits until the course dies down, around the time AJ is going to bed.  

After I put AJ down, this is what I saw when I stepped outside!

Brent swears this was the only hole that he carried them on!  :)

These are a bit blurry, but oh so cute!

They really do love each other this much!  :)

Watching Daddy swing!

Heading home...

Mr. Independent on the right side!  Ha!

What a strong daddy!

Love it!

Pouting because it's time to go in and get ready for bed!

Afternoon Fun

We have enjoyed beautiful, warm, sunny weather lately.  We've eaten as many of our meals as possible outside, play outside until it gets dark, etc.  We love it!  :)



The kids have really enjoyed the swingset this summer...maybe a bit too much judging by these photos!

Crash!

Dangerous!

I know...put the camera down before someone gets hurt!  They did this for a good 20 minutes and laughed the whole time!  :)

Silly kiddos!

Beans & Peas Are Planted

Two Hard Workers!

Finley and Ace are always willing to help out around the house...maybe Finley more than Ace, but when it comes to outdoor work, he jumps right in!  

Cleaning up all the grass on the driveway left behind by the lawnmower.

Finley swept and Ace held the pan.

Great team work!

Ace & Finley

Finley took this picture of Ace...

And then needed me to take a picture of her!  :)

Crying It Out

We're doing it...we're letting AJ "cry it out" in hopes that he will once again, sleep through the night!  So we have Finley and Ace in the same room (which they absolutely LOVE) and AJ in the crib in the boys room.

Finley & Ace have enjoyed "sleepovers" the past couple nights and AJ has done well thus far.  Friday night he was up twice, but not for very long, and last night was just once for a brief amount of time.

AJ Is On The MOVE!

It's official, AJ is on the move!  He is into everything and crawling everywhere he can!

Mini Greenhouses

Last summer we enjoyed sitting on our front patio, watching golfers, and munching on peas or beans from the big pots we planted.  We plan to do that again this summer!  We are maybe a little late in the process, but today we got the project going...

Finley and I saw these "mini greenhouses" in K-Mart this afternoon.

She is working on straightening out the dirt "pods".

And obviously thinking I'm silly for taking pictures!  She's so expressive with her words and looks!

The pods are all lines up and ready for some water...

This is how they expand with just the smallest amount of H2O.

We planted 36 peas & 36 beans this year.

After a little TLC and approximately 14 cups of water...this is what we got...

Two mini greenhouse contraptions that we can patiently watch over the next few weeks!
