rat bones?!

Yes, RAT bones!!! Caleb got to dissect owl pellets at school last week!  The teacher let them take there "treasures" home.  Gotta love it.  Hannah was totally grossed out by the "fur" that the bones were all wrapped inside of, and can't say that I was any better!  Caleb had so much fun, to say the least! 

Our garden

The weather has been so nice here.  I love the sun shine, the robins bouncing around, the little blossoms on the trees and the smell of spring.  We started our little garden inside and the kids loved helping out.  Kurtis is on a pepper kick and is planting 3 different kinds of peppers!  We are hoping for a beautiful garden this year! (full of peppers and more peppers.... )

Baseball

This child loves anything to do with balls!  He actually is surprisingly a natural at most sports!  It is fun to watch that light go on, when he figures out how to do it!  This night he was dying to play with the older kids.  Poor thing, just watched them for a distance.  Love him.

lazy sunday morning

My little helper

Porter thinks and knows that he is the cutest thing that ever walked on the face of the earth, so naturally he thinks that he can pull of any sort of style!  Here he is modeling all sorts of my props before a session.  I could not help but snap a few pictures!

On Dr. Seuss birthday Hannah went to school as Cindy Lou Who, she was the talk of the school!  She loved every second of all the attention she was getting!  I used a plastic cup (thanks to Kurtis cousin for the idea!!) to get her hair to stand up! 

last week

The cub scout Blue and Gold banquet was last week and Caleb (and I) made a awesome light saber cake!  He was so proud of it!  His face is priceless!  He also got his Wolf!  Yay Caleb!  He is such a good boy.  I love this kid!

Hannah has had some pretty crazy hair days lately at school!  Last week she was to dress up as her favorite book character.  She wanted to be Fancy Nancy!  She was so cute!  We had so much girly fun doing her hair and dressing her up!  She got a lot of nice complements as school and was on cloud nine when she got home! 

Hannah lost her 3rd tooth!  This tooth had been bugging her forever!  So glad that we finally got it pulled out!!

This is her story about losing her tooth!  I thought that it was so cute and just had to post it! :)


My little guy is getting so big and so handsome!  He loves all the attention that he can get and knows that he can get whatever he wants!   He just got a haircut this week and he just looks so old! :(
