More pics..

Family pics...

Is it too much to ask that my kids open their eyes and smile all together for a pic? So, Aaron and I have decided that what matters is how we look right?? =) Jax, my love, you are little and it doesn't matter what you look like in the picture....you are a goof! Our friend Becky took these pics up by Pat's Knoll. I hate having my picture taken because I am not photogenic...but she made it fun. And may I add that this was the kids second photo session of the day...they had their pics taken with Brooklee and Brinley earlier in the day.

Busy Busy Busy...

Seriously the cutest cowboy ever

Eventhough he is the royal poops sometimes, I love this little guy to pieces!!

Doesn't he look so grown up??

Jaxie is growing up so fast! I love this little guy. These pajamas were Brodey's when he was little and Jax just LOVES them. He calls them "My jamas me." This morning he woke up and said he was going to work. He found Brodey's boots and cowboy hat......."Ready go bye-bye mama? Go get wood?" Aaron and Nic were getting wood today and Jax wanted to go SO bad. Poor guy had to go to the laundry mat with me instead. Laundry mat you say?? Yep the washing machine is kaput. And thats not fun when I average two loads of laundry a day. What else happened this week? Let's see....Brodey played Tarzan on the trampoline and broke his wrist. He gets the cast on Tuesday and wears it for 6 weeks. Nice. No writing at school or homework for 6 weeks. No xbox for 6 weeks. No Trampoline for 6 weeks. Hopefully he'll figure out how to wipe his hiney BEFORE the 6 weeks is up!! Brodey's cat ( his baby, Tilly) got hit by a car on Thursday. This was the best kitty...he was like a little kid. Following us around, meowing whenever we walked by it, and he loved to snuggle with Brodey in bed. I know that is gross...but Brodey loves to snuggle with Tilly. We did a little funeral for him after school yesterday. The kids are so sad....and so was I, and I cried all morning just thinking about how upset the kids were going to be. Aaron built a little casket and dug a little grave for him and I think the kids really liked seeing him one more time. But I am NOT ready for another cat. Living on Main Street has been bad for us with animals. And last but not least....I spent all day last Saturday bottling apple pie filling. 14 quarts thank you! But today, I went in my pantry and 6 of those quarts decided to fall on my head and break all over the ground. It's scary when quart jars are falling on your head. And it hurts...those suckers sting when they smack!! I was a sicky mess and so is my pantry. So after I do all my normal Friday chores...floors, bathrooms, cleaning the kids room.....I have to take everything out of my jam packed pantry and clean up the STICKY mess. So why am I on this blog thing when I should be cleaning??? Oh well.....

Pictures of Brodey's cast to come.....probably Tuesday after he gets the hard one on.
