I find this picture pretty funny....This is what my day consists of pretty much Monday through Friday. It is hard work but fun at the same time. I think the boys are out numbered but they never seem to care.

Just my boys.....
Just my girls....

Alive!! I can't believe it so last spring I had remembered that mom had some plants in the shed that she always stored there for the winter. I called up Danny and asked if he was going to keep up mom's plant, his response was laughter and said oh no, I don't do flowers. So he told me that I was more than welcome to them. They were some Asiatic Lilies that were in a pot and they had quite the growth but had been in the dark all winter. They grew and were beautiful!! So summer ended and I panicked on how to preserve this plant through the winter. I talked with one of my good friends who know a lot about plants and called the Master Gardner at the chamber of commerce. She had a lot of good advice but still there was no guarantee that they would live...I was saddened. Then as winter went on I put them in a semi dark room so they could go dormant and after one of my children broke off the major stems I thought this plant was doomed. Much to my surprise I looked and it has life!!! Oh how I wish it was warmer and I could bring them out! I will just have to have patience and look forward to these Lilies to come to a beautiful yellow! Just kind of a fun way to remember my mom, the funniest thing is most of the plants and flowers she tried to grow died so the fact that this one was thrown into the shed and lived makes me laugh.

Each year the kids have one school program, we had the opportunity to go to Kaetylnn's a couple of weeks ago. They did a good job even though you couldn't really understand what they were singing, but it is always fun to go and watch them. There were so many kids that they barely fit on the bleachers..one girl actually kept falling off cause there wasn't much room. Good job Kaeltynn and I always look forward to all your accomplishments!

This is Reece...as most of you know he has a "SUCKY" as we call it. He sleeps with it and can't sleep without it. In this picture he has it over his head..but hey look...no thumb in the mouth!!

Dylan wanted a bean bag chair for Christmas and Reece has sort of adopted it. Each of the older kids have one and every time they have it our he b-lines for it. It is pretty cute and he will sit and watch TV. He sure is a lovey kid and always smiling, he has brought so much joy to our family.
