More babies!!

Clay graduated from preschool on Monday night. He did not smile during the whole program. After, he said, "That was so much fun!" No one else would have know by the look on his face. Kendra did good in the program. She did the motions to the songs and sang with blanket in hand.

Josey had her puppies (7!!) on May 20th. She is being a good mommy. She will let all of us touch them but she has snapped at a few others. Eli and the cats just stay away.

Keri and J.C. are here this weekend and the boys are loving it. Between riding the 4-wheeler and catching frogs, they are staying busy. Wyatt still has school and is NOT loving that! Jon's mom and Mike are coming up today for the weekend. Roy and Mary Kay are coming out tonight to celebrate Roy's birthday. I am not going to mention how old he is!

Have a great memorial weekend.

Summer like weather

Well, I can't believe it is almost summer already. Time is flying by. We are playing a lot of baseball. Clay and Wyatt have games 2 times a week and usually have at least 1 practice a week. Wyatt has started playing catcher and likes it a lot.

The kids had fun today playing in the kiddie pool. It was about 90 degrees outside but very nice especially in our shady back yard. We are waiting for our dog, Josey to have puppies. Should be anytime now. The boys caught a turtle today and turned it loose in the lake. We also have baby birds in a tree in the flower bed. We all think living in the country is fun!!

MAY Already!!

My mom came to visit this past week. She was a great help to me. She babysat for me while I worked and stayed busy sewing some things for Wyatt's room. She made a camo bedskirt, pillow shams and curtains. It looks great. Of course, we did a little shopping and I spent way too much. Still trying to decorate.

Our chickens are big and are getting to roam around outside a little bit (with supervision). Clay has started T-ball games and is doing well. We have been practicing running because a jog to 1st base usually means an out. We have had beautiful weather and have been outside enjoying it. My yard is finally in and my garden is planted. I want to wait until my grass turns green to take some pictures. Hope you are all enjoying this busy but great time of year.

WYOMING

Okay, so I am way behind. Kendra and I went to Wyoming a month ago and I am just now posting some pics. We had a great visit. Kendra gave Kyle a big smacker right on the lips! I couldn't stop her fast enough. We really got to just hang out and visit and it was nice. We held sweet baby Kyle. I wanted to bring him home but Danniel and Jayson didn't think that was a good idea.

After being in Wyoming where it still looked like winter, everything here in Texas looked so green. The wildflowers are everywhere and looking out my back window is beautiful. I love this time of year!

More Rain

Jon's lake is finally full and he is loving it. This picture is what I can see out of my kitchen window. It makes me a little more inclined to do dishes. We are trying to get our yard in but it has to quit raining. It just gets dry and then it rains again.

Wyatt is getting very good at taking care of the chicks. He feeds and waters them everyday after school. Clay stands around and holds them. He has named the littlest one Sissy. She has a red dot on her beak so he knows its her. Kendra likes them but is a little rough!

Spring is here!

Spring is here and everything is starting to bud and bloom. I love this time of year when all the wildflowers are coming out and everything is turning green again. I am hoping that green for me, means less mud!! I also love the weather this time of year. Not including this week, with the clouds and humidity but all in all, I love the 70's and wish it would stay this way all year long.

We got chicks in the mail last week. It is quite a job keeping them the right temperature, feeding them and for Clay, petting each and every one of them so they all get attention. They have already almost doubled in size in less that a week. We have also had one die and from Clay's reaction, I thought that they all had died. He carried it in (screaming and bawling) and was so sad. He cried and cried and was so afraid that all of them would die. It took him at least 20 minutes to get calmed down so that he could talk. Wyatt was a little more matter-of-fact and said, "It's okay, we have 34 more!"

Hope you all are enjoying Spring! Except, of course, you crazy people who live where it is still snowing!!

Easter Weekend

We enjoyed a great Easter weekend. The weather has been wonderful and we have spent a lot of time outside. We finally got around to coloring eggs on Sunday morning. The boys have a quick smile in this picture. They weren't very excited to have to come inside and get ready for church. Kendra thinks she needs to do whatever they are doing!
