Leonardo do Vinci's

Doesn't have nothing on my kids...He may have painted the Mona Lisa but could he have painted something as pretty as this.....



I didn't think so...

This is what I walked in to the other night while the kids were playing in the tub..Good thing that the markers they were using were washable...They love to use those Crayola markers for the bath tub...just a little water and it wipes off!!!

Easter came early

We had decide last year to get the kids a few ducks for Easter but when we went to get them they were all SOLD OUT!!! So this year we went early to get them and we were going to keep them a secret until Easter but its kinda hard to hid them so we went on and gave them to the kids. Our plan is to let the kids raise them and when they get old enough to put them on the pond at our house. The kids are loving them they want to hold them all the time. We have tried to explain that the ducks are not like cats and dogs that you can't hold them all the time that it would kill them.. Sara Beth is so sweet with them she will just talk to them and watch them for hours...Brent and the kids are already talking about getting more after these get bigger..ummm I'm not so sure about that because when we got them I didn't know that I was going to have to be the "MOTHER DUCK" I have to clean out the cage(every day) make sure they have water and food...like I don't have enough to do around the house!!!

Lanes new boo boo

Sunday while at a friends house jumping on the trampoline Lane feel off and hurt his knee. We thought that he may have just wisted it and that he would be fine in a few days. All night Sunday he cried and would not put any of his weight on it so we thought that we should take him to the Dr (just to make sure) that everything was OK. After about 6 different x-rays and 3 different test the Dr came in and told us that Lane had hyperextensed his knee and that bc of that he now has a torn tendon in his knee. So my sweet baby is now in a brace that goes all the way down his leg and he has to use crutches. We have to go back to the orthopedic Dr in two week to see if that is working or to see if we may have to do surgery...I think the worst thing about it (to Lane) is that the Dr told him that he may not be playing baseball this year. My poor baby just started crying after the Dr told him that..We ask Lane what he wanted to do about ball practice today and he told me and Brent that he wanted to go and watch the team practice that just bc he couldnt practice didn't mean that he couldn't go and cheer for his team during practice today. I am so proud of him for saying that I just hope that when we get there its not to hard on him to just watch and not be able to play (he LOVES baseball). So please say a prayer for Lane that his knee will get better and that when we go back to the Dr that everything is working right and that he will be able to get back to doing what he loves...

First Practice of 2009

Baseball has started back up...That means bye bye afternoons of not having anything to do but watch TV and go to bed. Sara Beth has practice on Monday & Fridays and Lane has practice on Tuesday & Thursday...Sara Beth told me last night after her practice was over that since this was her 3rd year on the team that she was going to be the "bestest" one out there..Here are a few pictures of Sara Beth's practice from yesterday!!!

Happy Birthday!!

This is Lanes teacher Ms. Thompson. Lane has had her for the last two years it's been great!!! She told all of us the other day that she was pregnant and due in Sept.. YAY!!! Ms. Thompson




Today is Lane's Birthday he's 8...WOW...We took some of his friends to pizza hut and bowling after church yesterday... Those boys are fun little people when you get about 5 together. We are going to my moms house tonight for more pizza and cake... I was telling Brent last night (while I was crying) that if the next 8 years goes as fast as the last 8 years that we will have a 16 year old before we know it..



I had to put this picture of the final score up so all could see..Its not real clear but if you look close you can see that I beat Brent in our bowling game. I guess when you got it you got...

Swimming Party

Last weekend Sara Beth and Lane went to a swimming party at the rec center here in town. This was the first time that they have got to go swimming since they started there swim lesson. Lane did great he went all over that pool!! Sara Beth not so much!! By the time the party was over I had two sleepy kids. We had swim lesson for a hour then right after that was the party so they were in the water about 3 hours that day. You can see in one of the pictures that Lane had, had all the fun he could handle for one day!!!

A Bugs life...

That was the name of Lanes second grade play at school... Lane was an army aunt.. The play was so cute and all the kids did a great job!!!

SNOW DAY!!!
