Never a Dull Moment Jan-May

I try to capture as many pictures of our day to day life as possible. I want my kids to look back and see what they were like at certain ages and know how much fun we had.

Bella loves being creative.  I love when I get a had delivered letter.

Lucky me...I was invited to the card club!!  I got to make a birthday card for my day.  (in the background)

We've had a million and one talent shows in the house!

We pulled out a puzzle on a rainy day and Bella helped her brother learn the art of puzzle building

Ta-da!

Just stopping for a picture while out shopping

One of J's favorite games- Number Puzzles

Bella had a TAG assignment to make up her own park.  

Laundry basket racing!

Balloon running

Joziah+Stickers= Shirt Decorating

What a great way to improve fine motor skills and waste a whole sheet of stickers

Soooo, this was crazy hair day and when I was putting Joziah in his car seat he looked up at me with those big brown eyes and said, "Mommy, your hair looks so pretty today!"  He's never said anything like that before.  Go figure.

Just dancing around

Playing dress-up AKA picture for future wife.

Eating some lunch together #lovethesekiddos

Ready for the first game of the season...she scored the first goal

Car wash...yes, they asked to wash the car

Nana sent these fun eggs that "hatched" and grew in the water over time.

Making cookies....Yum-Yum

Starting her science project 

How much bacteria is on this Ipad?

Since I got my gall bladder out during Spring Break, we couldn't go anywhere.  So, one of Bella's friends took her to Bewilderwood for the day.

She had her hair straightened and then braided.

Somebody got his first installment of big boy underwear!  Woo Woo!

Another picture for his wedding day

Silly boy

Somebody went potty....ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE.

Movies in Bella's room

Lollipops!

Who is this handsome dude?

Love, love, love!!!

So blessed!

Meet Polly Penelope Petunia, our pet peacock (until Curtis scared it away!) We woke up on the morning of Krisa and Brad's party to this thing in our yard.  We named it and it stayed for the party and the next day.  Then, Curtis had to go and call the Estate owners to find out that it had come from another house about 5 miles away on the Estate that had a bunch of peacocks.  No one knew how or why it managed to come over but it was a great addition to the party.  I was sad when they came and got her.

Chips!

Popsicles

The Fantastic Four

New game- Bounce It

Well, that's one way to decorate.  It was a lot of fun getting those off.

I came home one day and Bella had the recliner out for me to sit down on and a cold rag for my feet.  Such a thoughtful girl.

Then, while I rested from my busy day, her and Nana put on a puppet show.

So, ever since Joziah could talk he points to men who look like his daddy and calls out "daddy".  It's perplexing yet humorous.  One day he wanted me to pick him up and let him peruse the cupboard.  As he did, he yelled out, "DADDY".  When I looked at what he was pointing at, it was good old Uncle Ben on the rice bag.  Spitting image, don't cha think?  Gotta love it!
