Monkey See, Monkey Do?

Something quite interesting happened over here… I thought I was being a good mommy (already discussed that problem before) and suggested strongly that my daughter need not eat more chocolate chips.  She had requested chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast and I happily obliged.  Then, she walked by the kitchen more times than normal,  grabbing little [...]

A small request from a small gift

Children are a gift

Jumping

From oldest to youngest, they each got a turn.  How about that static hair?  Oh to be close to some of our cousins… (we missed P on this because she was a little nervous with the kids jumping but who could blame her?)

Cotton Fields

When in AZ last week, I just HAD to pull over and check out the cotton fields.  Who doesn’t love a puffy ball of fluff?  I also HAD to show the kids!  Zane was pulling on the bushes and ripping apart the cotton.  Zoe was smelling it, touching it and handling it gently.  Boys and [...]

Halloween Found!

Guess what Tim had?  A picture of the kids in his phone!  Yep, this is Fancy Nancy and Woody.  Yes!  This is NOT a fatherhood failure!  Thanks for covering me dear…

Memories from Indiana

Well, since I have pictures coming out my ears nowadays, I will leave a little snippet of our trip to Indiana.  Every year, Kristie has a big ‘ol Halloween party at the farm.  It involves things like BBQ, hayrides, pumpkin carving, and playtime.  It’s kind of been like the unofficial time that the Kirby family [...]

Halloween at the Farm

In October we went to Indiana to visit Kristie.  I have so many pictures to sort through BUT I did put all the ones at the Halloween party together for a fun slideshow. 

Zoe’s class for Halloween

Ever taken a picture of 21 second graders right before a parade in Halloween costumes?  Well, you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit!  : )
