Bedtime Prayer

Nicholas' usual bedtime prayer...
"Jesus- please help Grammy's back feel better. Please help Zach with his back and blue ear, black and blue eye, and his asthma. I know Lauren is going to have her diabetes. Please be with WooWoo and Riggins and help the boo boo on my knee get better. Amen!"

(By the way, Zach recently got hit with a baseball bat at one his ball games.)

Fishing Rodeo

Look at this mighty fisherman!



He even won a prize (a cool watergun) for catching this 'special gold' fish!

A total of 4 fish!

How Cute!

Do you know how every kid goes through the stage where you can't take their picture? Well, that's Reagan! As soon as I grab the camera, she comes running hoping she can get her hands on it. My camera is her favorite toy!
So, in order to get a picture of her, I run to the other side of the room, squat down, and wait for her to come running.


I must admit... it makes pretty cute pictures (and it gives me a workout)!

It's Like a Zoo Around Here

Within the past few weeks we've 'grown' a few new animals around our house!

First... BUTTERFLIES!! Yeah, we got the very popular Butterfly Garden. We watched our caterpillars grow and grow, build their cocoons, and morph into butterflies.


They flew away so quickly (they couldn't wait to get away from our crazy house - ha!)... this is the only picture I was able to capture.


Second... BUNNIES!! They're difficult to see in the picture, but there were 6 of them in the nest in our backyard.

The butterflies and bunnies are now gone. Hmm.... why does is still seem like it's a zoo around here!?!
