The Easiest Dogs to Take Care Of !

Aunt 'T' got the boys their first Webkinz and they love them! They have to have them every night to go to sleep. Recently, they all got matching swimsuits for their dogs. Daddy wasn't sure about this 'doll dressing' for his little men at first- they make sure the swimsuits are off before they can go to bed every night! :)

Weekend Project

We got started clearing away the brush in our tree line area this weekend. We've been in our house about 16 months now and this brush area was cleared away when we started building, but we had more important things to worry about while we were building! You can see the trees behind all the brush in the first & last pictures, so it'll be nice to see that now, instead of all the dead brush! The boys enjoyed using the new machete that their Dad bought for them. I was a nervous wreck, of course, saying all the things they should expect Mommy to say..." Be CAREFUL... Do you realize how sharp that thing is?... Go far away from anyone before you start swinging that thing... Are y'all ready to take a break?..." Dave P. came and brought his chainsaw and ALL of the boys, big and small, had a fun time. We have a big burn pile already, but there are a few more good days of work still ahead of them. (For those of you who have been at our house, it is the woodsy area on the garage-side of the house that they are working on.)

A Day At The Zoo

Since the kids had off of school today, we met Rose W. and her kids, Brent, Brock & Brooklyn at the zoo for the day. It was beautiful weather here, so we all had a really nice time! It's hard to get good pictures with 5 boys going in all different directions! Dylan was our 'tour guide', watching the map for us and leading us in the right direction!

Fun with the Boys

We have been having such pretty afternoons here! So, after they got home from school I went out into our woods with the boys. They've been making 'forts' out there with some of the neighborhood kids and they wanted to show me. They loved giving Mommy a tour of their new found areas. I saw a little of the man in Bryce as he held back the tree branches for me to walk under and warned me of not stepping on certain things! And, of course, our dog, Lexy loves it when they go exploring also!

Our Fun Day!

Dave had to do 'work stuff' on Saturday, so the boys & I loaded up and went to Renita's for a fun Saturday. They love being with Brooke & Blaire- they are such awesome cousins for the 3 boys! And as you can tell, Cayden loves his Nene!! We actually got the boys to agree to a shopping trip. :) But most of all, we just had fun being together!

SLEDDING

We had a fun day with Dave's sister and her family. Lots of snow for us to enjoy while we are here! The boys are loving it!

Happy New Year!!

We had a wonderful New Years Eve and New Years Day here in Buffalo. There was a western themed New Years Eve party at some of the friends, so the boys enjoyed dressing in their cowboy gear(minus their cowboy hats!) with their cousins. Dylan made it to 12:05, then crashed! :) New Years day, Dave and Bryce & Dylan went skiing. Cayden & I watched and played in the snow. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so Dave's sister has all of the ski pictures to get to me!
