Tuckered Out

After a long hard day of play, there is nothing better than taking a nice nap.However, most people prefer to take a nap in bed, not on the front porch.

Kids.....

What is it about a child and their curiosity for putting things in bodily orifices? We had the bead in Xander's ear, I remember as a child an unfortunate incident involving my sister and soap (don't ask) and last night, while watching a movie with the kids - I notice Raegan pushing something up her nose. It was a pop corn kernel. Why, I just have no other words besides Why? Fortunately we did not have to take her to the doctor, she was able to farmer blow it out. Much to her and her brothers delight. GROSS.

The home run king

Just a quick post to say how proud I am of Haiden. He hit 2, two, dos, double, ni, etc. yes *2* home runs tonight in baseball. I loved seeing the opposing teams coaches telling the outfield kids to back up - wahoo!!! GO HAIDEN!

Goodbye little friend.

Today has been a sad day for our family. Our dog Hines got hit by a car and was killed. We are all heartbroken. He was a funny little dog and even though we complained about him we all loved him very much. It was fun watching him look through the window at us, having him jump 12,000 times trying to get our attention. Bouncing a golf ball down the stairs and excitedly chasing after it.

Even when I wasn't nice to him he was always very sweet to me. Darrin expressed perfectly what I am feeling. He was a special dog, not the most obedient, not the best behaved, but he was happy. We didn't pay enough attention to him and I am very sad about that - as always after something like this happens you wish like crazy it would have been different.

The kids would fight over who got to sleep with him in his room and I know they are going to miss that. He was very patient with my kids and let Raegan put doll clothes on him all the time. We will all miss him very much.

Easter Fun

We went to the "Easter Cabin" on Friday and Saturday. We always have lots of fun riding 4 wheelers, coloring eggs, finding eggs, smashing the pinata etc. etc. etc. This is a fun tradition from Darrin's family that I hope we can carry on.
