I had my camera out the other morning, and of course the boys all had to have their pictures taken. I think that the pictures capture each of their little personalities. :)

Carsen- Quiet and reserved, and a little shy.

Parker- Are there even words to describe this child?! He is outgoing and CRAZY! In this picture he is pretending to be a bird. :)

Griffen- An extremely happy little guy. He loves to "cheese" every chance he gets.

Is it that time already?!

This school year has flown by, and the time for Teacher Appreciation week is here!! It seems like I was just doing this same thing last month... not last year! The end of this preschool year makes me a little sad, simply because my #1 baby will be heading off to kindergarten this fall. He is excited and ready to go... I'm not so sure I'm ready to let go.

This year I decided to bake a little something for the boys' teachers. I think my little banana bread loaves turned out great, and a bonus is that I ended up with two loaves for myself. :)

I also made a little something special for their teachers... They really have the BEST teachers!! My boys love to go to school and I know in part it is because they have fun and know they are loved while in the classroom.

These bags were so much fun to make! I have been playing around with screen printing for awhile now, and I think I am finally starting to get the hang of it. I did NOT crochet the cute little flowers! I have a box sitting here that my grandma left out here and I grabbed a few to dress up these bags... hope you don't mind Grandma! :)

Now with these projects completed I think I can rest... at least for a day or two. :)

Tax Day

We're ready! Are you?!

Easter 2010

The boys had a great Easter this year! Griffen's personality is really starting to come out, and he is becoming quite the "cheeser".

The Painted Baby

Our sweet little baby is slowly turning into a very curious toddler! He will get into EVERYTHING he possibly can when left alone for more than 10 seconds, paint being his destruction method of choice. The first picture was a result of walking out of the craft room for about three minutes. When I left he was happily watching Parker play the computer. I returned to find that our "sweet baby" had climbed onto my counter height work counter, carried a can of black paint to my freshly painted computer desk, pried the lid off, and dumped the remaining BLACK paint all over himself, my desk and the carpet!!! And what was Parker doing? NOTHING... I am positive that the child didn't even know what was happening. :) After a LOT of scrubbing our little boy was squeeky clean. I'm sorry that I can't say the same for the desk and carpet.

I don't have a picture of G after the second paint incident because thankfully I wasn't home.(can't blame me for this one!) :) This one happened while Charles was trying to get the older boys ready for school, he walked in and was greeted by a cute boy with persimmon hands and face. He cleaned the boy, but when I came home I was greeted by a colorful computer chair.

I am SO thankful that his obsession with paint seems to be over, or maybe it's just because I now have all of the paint in the house locked up. :)

An Oldie, but a Goodie!

As I was going through my pictures getting everything ready to put onto my external hard drive I came across these two gems! They made me smile then, and they make me smile now. This was back when Park was still being potty trained.... maybe I didn't remember the pictures because I am trying to block out the memory of that experience. :) Parker is a very private person as is evident in the pictures below.

I am pretty sure in this picture he is saying his famous words, "Give me some privacy!" And I LOVE the fact that I caught him wearing his pj's and the power ranger shoes that are about 3 sizes too big.
