Ayden and His Critters

Have you noticed that there are a few

caterpillars and butterflies this year?

Well, Ayden certainly has! 

And a little snake.

Thank goodness it was dead and not poisonous!

And a bunny.  I was getting ready to go somewhere, when Ayden came in and told me he had caught a bunny.  I turned around to find him holding this.

He said it was hopping around by the garage.  I'm guessing it was the cat's lunch. 

Like Lyndell said, "I guess that will teach the cat not to play with her food!"

Ayden carried it around all day in an Easter basket.  At the end of the day, he took it outside to play, and it hopped away.

Thank goodness!  We don't need any more critters around here.

Together = Fun!

Coloring Easter Eggs

The yearly tradition of coloring eggs...

In the end, I'm not sure where most of the dye wound up -

on the kids or on the eggs?

Kindergarten Easter Party

Summer Is Coming

Summer is coming, and it is already getting hot outside.  The pool temperature is still pretty chilly, but kids are tough!

The Many Adventures of Sutton

I used to say I could write a book entitled, The Adventures of Ayden.  Well, I think Sutton might have him beat.  There is never a dull moment around this kid. 

So here we go...The Adventures of Sutton!

When the house gets quiet, you better look for Mr. Sutton.  I made muffins for breakfast.  Sutton loves muffins!  The house got quiet.  Sutton was sitting on the kitchen cabinet (yes, he is an excellent climber) eating muffins.  You can see, he ate 2 whole muffins and ate the tops off the rest.  Yikes!

Isn't this how everybody eats their pancakes?

We have to lock the doors on the dog kennel and crate.  Sutton loves to play in them!

Puddles, puddles, puddles...Sutton loves puddles!

How do you entertain a 2 year old at a late night baseball game? 

Apple Jacks on his straw of course!

How many B's can you use at one time?  Lol!

More to come...

Finally Another Female!

It's a girl! 

I am finally not the only female in this house.  We got a new dog, and HER name is Powder.  I think she is going to fit right in.

Donkey Basketball

I have not laughed this hard in a long time.  Blake played donkey basketball.  It was great!

Our sweet little dog, Ryder, disappeared about a week ago.  We are all heartbroken.  He was such a great little dog.

This is behind our door in the bathroom.  It is where we had a water leak, and they had to create an access panel.  This morning Sutton noticed it.  He said, "Momma, get me some crayons.  I need to make a picture!"

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy 17th Blake!!!!

This is the only way we could get all the candles lit.  Lol!

Blake did let him help blow them out when it was time.

The Adventures of Sutton

I was cleaning the rat cage and had set the top of the cage on the floor.  I hear Sutton yell, "Mom, Look at me!" 

This is where he was!

This is how he gets into EVERYTHING!

He stands on his little bicycle and pulls himself all around the cabinets to see if he is missing out on anything interesting.

Report Cards

Report cards came out today. 

Ayden got S's which = satisfactory.

He brought his report card to me and said,

"Mom, see all these S's.  They mean SUPER!"

I agree.  He is a pretty super kid!

Cordell and Blake got all A's too!

Proud of the kiddos!
