SALT DOUGH.....

"nate dog" & "con-man"

"c-dog"

ok....so i'm a little behind posting pictures!!! but in february nathan got some good "boy time" with his cousins! connor and nathan are are the best of friends. they seems to just "jive".

so while they were down, we made salt dough, rolled out xmas shapes, and painted them :) well....i left the painting for "gra'ams" to do at her house! hee hee

Baby Ryder....

oh how it times like these that makes me really want another baby!!! but just ONE of course!!! i know some of you reading this think i'm crazy, and some think i can't handle the ones i have now! BUT! have no fears.....i don't think hubby is going to allow it! ha! there is just no other joy like a baby.....however, they are like puppies....they grow up!

baby ryder is such a good baby and i could have sat and held him allllllllll day long! him and nathan will have to become buds.....cause ryder is in a house full of girls like just like nathan is!!!

thanks carri for having me take the pics :) they turned out great and i loved taking them!!! hope you enjoy them too :)

Learning Responsibility......(or so we hope)

our latest and greatest addition to our life are these little guys! lol CHICKENS! we have 7 layers and 1 rooster. but also have 5 babies! so eventually we will have 12 layers altogether!!

our kids are getting to the age, where they need to be taught to work, have responsibilities, and learn that play isn't always the priority!! although i must say.....i enjoy these as much as the kids! so at this point........ i'm not sure who they are really for?? ha!

SOOOOO...... now the kids will be selling eggs! so if anyone needs any, you know who to call!

it's a Dora thing..... :)

gosh! i cannot believe i haven't posted a blog in SEVERAL MONTHS!!!! how terrible....but hopefully now that spring has sprung....i can get outside and take some fun pics!!!

anyway......you all will probably find these photos just ordinary "play" photos and they just don't have much meaning to you! but to ME......it simply shows how much of a Dora this kid really is!!! LOL i don't know if all the family knows it.....but all the Dora men(and even women.....Linda) carry this trait!! the curling of the tongue!!! when they are in deep thought or working on something that requires ANY ounce of concentration, they curl their tongue!!! i have watched this and noticed it for several years now, and now it's really funny to watch nathan do it!!! we all have good traits, bad traits, funny traits, and even weird traits that sometimes get passed on to our children. and it's sooooooo fun to see these "pop out" of our children!
