halloween 2009…

was a very Harry happy Halloween!
The kids loved dressing up as Harry Potter and Hermione Granger!

Before they knew it they had turned Danielle into a little buzzy bee!

But I guess that’s better than being turned into the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bat! Imagine that, she swallowed a bat! We did read about her at [...]

the big rodeo…

came to town! Of course there’s a lot of fun to be had at the rodeo but who can deny that the mutton bustin’ always steals the show! Okay, maybe only if you’re a parent of one of the brave little cowboys or cowgirls. :)

But this year was special because it was Jadon’s first year [...]

after a week of rain…

…two canceled games, and only one practice, you FINALLY got to play your very first soccer game!!
You had SO much fun!

The excitement was plastered all over your face! I think every picture has either a big smile or else your tongue sticking out. It’s got to help…I’m just sure it does! :)
Look at those [...]

to infinity…

…and BEYOND!!!

A little cardboard and colored duct tape sure makes a happy Buzz “LightBob”! :)

i suppose finding a snake skin…

is definitely better than finding the actual snake – a live one anyway. Of course it does mean that he’s still out there.

When stretched all the way out this guy is a couple of inches taller than me!

it’s that time of year again…

grass cutting time that is! It has become one of those things you guys enjoy doing together too!
You hadn’t had your nap before it was time to cut the grass, so of course the hum and vibration of the mower put you right to sleep. Daddy took you in and laid you on the couch [...]

my cowboy and my camera…

provided for a little fun the other day. I’m trying new things with my photography and here’s a little of what I got (they made me laugh)…

By the way, the cowboy attire has become an everyday thing and he likes to go by John Chism.  :-)

…and that’s my Jadon! :-)

amid a typical whining episode yesterday…

Bryan mentions, “Cowboys don’t whine.”
“Some cowboys do when they get shot.”
Can you guess who gave that reply? :)
Bryan was tempted to say, “Well, then let me give you a reason…” But he didn’t. ;)

just hoping for a candid shot…

I decide to sneak around the corner of the horse trailer where Jadon is playing by himself. My camera is all set and…click. Since I was concentrating on taking the picture, I didn’t even notice WHAT he was playing with until he kept saying in his quiet little voice, “don’t be mad.” Well, after he [...]

this little man’s projects…

would make Tim the Tool Man proud! It looks like quite a task to *fix* the ground!
