Playing Dress Up

The other night the kids went and stayed with my mom. Lori was upstairs (getting dressed to go somewhere) and the kids went also. Rylan wanted to play dress up in Baboo's clothes and well Colton is at that age were he wants to do EVERYTHING RyRy does. So when Lori got done this was the out come. Clint had a little fit but I thought it was HILARIOUS!!!!!

The Princess & the Frog

Rylan knew from the very beginning this year what she wanted to be for Halloween.... a BEAUTIFUL Princess. Soooo she was. Hers was very easy to find, but Colton not so much. When we went shopping everything we picked up or pointed to he said "NO"!!! Then he decided he wanted to be a frog. I still don't know why he picked a frog because he is scared of them. The had a GREAT time and got a TON of candy!!! They will be on a sugar high for the next week or so :)

(thank you Mom or never throwing anything away)

The Beautiful Princess

The Frog

They were busy watching tv while I was trying to take their picture. I was trying to get them to look at me but neither one of them would have any part of that.

Anaconda on the loose

Ok so Clint goes to get in his truck the other day and finds this hanging from the tree right were we park. We believe it is just a chicken snake (but I don't care cause all snakes are the same to me). Clint took it down to measure it and it was actually 2 snake sheds. 1 measured 4ft 9in and the other 5ft. So now I'm convinced that we have a Anaconda loose at our house. Oh the joys of living in the country :).................. (P.S. I have NO idea how I made this underlined or how to get it off)

Helping hands

This weekend the kids and I decided to make some cookies. Usually we just do break-n-bakes but this time I decided to make them from scratch. So we loaded up to run to the store to get what we needed. When we got back I asked the kids if they wanted to carry a bag inside for me. They both said yes, so I gave them each one and told them to head inside while I grabbed the other bags from them car. Good thing I was paying attention because when I walked inside the door I almost tripped over their bags.

The abandoned grocery bags were in the doorway and the kids were already in their room playing. I guess it's hard work when you help carry grocery bags in :)

And if you are wondering..... the cookies we made were DELICIOUS!!!!!!

I'm Back..... Hopefully

This one is for my sister Lisa......... hehehehe!!!!! She has been bugging me for a while now to get my blog back up. I think she has finally worn me down ( and she wonders were her daughter gets it from). It has been so long since I even touched this thing that the only person reading this will be Lisa, but that is ok. I hope to have some pictures up soon.

Failing on my Blogging Job

I am failing on my blogging job. And I could come up with every excuse in the book but really I don't have a good one. I started a new job Jan. 5 and like everyother working mom my evenings are a mad house with dinner, bath and bed time. I will also be honest and tell you that I haven't even taken any pictures lately. I just have that " I will do it later" attitude. Rylan asked me the other day if she could have a back pack (Dora) party for her birthday. I can't believe she is about to be 2. Where does the time go!!!! She has really added a lot of words to her vocabulary just here in the past two weeks or so. She's never quiet now I can't imagine what she is going to be like in a couple of months or so. She is quite comical though. Colton is almost 5 months old and such a big boy. I took him to the dr yesterday and he weighs 17lbs and is 27 inches long.
He weighs as much as my niece Molly does and she is 2 months older than he is. Love Ya Molly!!! For those of you that don't know Clint got a promotion at work back in Oct or so(a little late letting everyone know). He was promoted to CPL. He likes it so far, a lot more paper work he says. Anyways, nothing more new with us. Hope to have some new pictures up soon.

Holiday Time

I apologize that it has taken me so long to get up new postings. Something was wrong with our computer for a little while and would not let you down load pics, and I've been slacking. With Christmas around the corner things have been crazy. I decided I was going to take a picture of the kids and send them out on cards. Well that DID NOT go so well. Either Colton or Rylan were crying, and once Rylan started she didn't stop. This first picture was the best and I dropped the ball and never got around to sending it to my sister for her to do them, and the computer was acting up. May be ill do them for a late x-mas sort of thing, who knows. I'm sure ill forget by then. My favorite is Colton sitting in the chair by himself, he looks like such a little man.




A couple of weeks or so ago(i don't know any more, i loose track these days) we hung x-mas lights outside. And of course we enlisted the help of Rylan and Colton. Both of them loved being outside. Rylan did more playing of course, but she was so excited when we turned them on that night, she was sooo proud of herself.
