the hottest topic in this house lately?

TEETH. You officially have your first one as of this last weekend my little sweet pea! Yea!
To be honest my complaints wouldn’t be about the irritability, it wasn’t bad at all. I just hated that it took so long for ONE tooth. I really think you were feeling it for about a month! Now what…19 [...]

photos of the week #9…

are our latest Penney’s portraits. Even though you were teething through both sittings, that adorable smile of yours found its way into most of the pictures.
The little wormy guy in some of the pictures is one of your favorite toys. You LOVE his antennas just like Abby did as a baby.

you’re back in the game…

now that it’s a new soccer season. You played for the Mustangs in Roanoke when you were four years old…

and for the Outlaws in Colorado City when you were five.

And now that you’re six you’ve moved up a division here in Arkansas. I can’t say we haven’t noticed the difference!
The fields are bigger AND the [...]

while the boys were away…

the girls did play. A lot. :-) We both agreed that all girls and no boys is a lot of fun and definitely something we should do more often. I think Danielle even put a grunt in on that one.

We made twinkle toes and cookie doughs…

had lots of laughs with girly bows. Played make-up, dress-up, [...]

every once in a while…

the left brain comes out in all of us. In Colorado City, TX they have what they call the Railhead Trade Days with lots of crafts, food, and entertainment at the old train depot downtown. You entered this horse painting in an art competition at that festival near the end of 2007 and won second [...]

i had no idea…

you could make butterfly feeders! After story hour at the library yesterday we checked out Usborne 100 Science Experiments. It has some really neat and easy things to make and a lot of it goes along with the science we are already doing.

So we made these colorful butterfly feeders. Hopefully they will work, but if [...]

this little guy…

belongs with the last post, but I found him today when I was watering my hopefully-it-will-survive-the-transplant crepe myrtle. He is so cute, for a lizard anyway!

just to catch up…

on some of the interesting things we’ve found through our nature studies.

This is a female katydid. Look at her eyeball; she is so watching my every move! Isn’t the camouflage factor amazing?

Our little yellow garden spider was chowing down on some granddaddy long-leg there. Does that make her a spider cannibal? The next day she [...]

who needs fish tales…

when you have pictures like this? I’d say the Striper weren’t biting because they saw you and Jeff tearin’ up the bass and crappie!
This one they caught qualified as a wallhanger.
Good company, lots of sun, and lots of fish made for a great day on Lake Greeson.

it’s the hard-knock life…

for us!

Hold up, don’t be fooled. It was really all play and no work.
That same day you two found another big mushroom…still no smurfs.

By the looks of that picture, Abby just roped you too! I keep telling her you’ll be bigger than her someday! :-)
I think the best part of finding that shroom must have [...]
