What have we been up to you say?

I should warn you that this is a pretty long post... please continue if you have time ;)

Although it seems like we never slow down, I we really haven't been doing a whole lot that is worth blogging about so I did a quick recon through my recent pics, and this is what I came up with... pretty random, but entertaining nonetheless.

We've enjoyed the park on occasion weather permitting.

Jaden making us laugh with his early morning antics... he pulls his jammie pants up as high as he can then puts his arms at his side with elbows bent, and hands hanging in a weird way, then does this strange little walk that looks so silly, and chases the girls through the house, never getting above a light stroll speed. I don't why but it creeps the girls out, and he LOVES to torment them!

Ahh the farm life... checking out papa's prize bull.


Please disregard the nasty dirty face!

Really? Pants on backwards, panties hanging out... what can I say? At least her shoes are on the right feet.
Good times=Good memories

gotta love a giant bail of hay to play on.

The epitome of country!
Aubryn won the coveted Golden Pencil Award with a very intriguing piece about alphabet friends.
Started Piano, and is doing very well! Proud mommy moment!



We got new curlers, and they worked great but I forgot to take the after shots (Bummer) but the full head of curlers picture is a classic!


I got to do a friends daughter's senior pics over spring break! They were in a bind, (long story), I have no idea why they asked me, but the pictures turned out really cute, of course Shawni is so pretty is wasn't hard, it was so STRESSFULL, and tiring!!! Brandi, Amber, Jess...I do not know how you do it! So I don't think I'll be adding professional photographer to my title anytime soon!!! Its much more relaxing when its a hobby...but I did have fun, and I was so glad I could help a friend out and save her some worry.

It just occurred to me that I haven't taken any pictures of Shawn lately... its probably because he is NEVER home! Sad I know, he works so hard, and I'm so thankful for a hard working husband. I look around at other peoples situations and can't help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude for all my blessings. Anyway we've been busy, but nothing of any real importance... I'll post easter pics soon!

Miss independent, Miss self-sufficient....

This was a normal day of Rhi and I, just hanging out while the other kids are at school. She eats breakfast, she helps clean up, and she takes a shower. On days we just stay home I just let her go pick out whatever she wants to wear. This shirt is usually the one she picks, it has little pink birds on it, and its her favorite. And in typical 3 year old fashion she HAS to do everything BY HERSELF! Every time she wears it... her screams of agony can be heard throughout the house, and yet refuses to let me help. So don't think that I'm a bad mom, and just let my child suffer, I tried to help her several times she is just too stubborn to let me help her!





When she realized I was taking pictures of her, she stopped screaming. (I should pretend to take pictures of her antics more often)


Finally! Got that big ol' head through the hole! (no thanks to me of course!)

I had to take one of her actually happy, hair combed, and looking cute. I can put up with a little screaming now and then as long as I get to see this happy face when its all said and done! Love you Rhi!
