Once Upon a Time...

...the mommy and the Caleb were doing school at the kitchen counter.  When all of the sudden a little face popped up!



Hi!  I'm cute and I grew a whole foot in 2 seconds. 

I'm guilty of bad mommy here for documenting it before getting him down.  ;)
The secret to the little monkey's growth spurt...
We were swapping out and washing carseats when he turned one.
He will climb on anything!!

 

It's been way too long...

I have had to share the PC with the hubby quite a bit during this slow season, yes mine is still inoperable. So, I thought I would try to attempt blogging from my phone. Here goes nothing! ;)

And there you have it! Complete with a horrible phone picture taken tonight of most of my monkeys with their daddy. Have a lovely weekend!

Life as a Mom

To start off the new year I love being a mom.  Even though the days can get crazy there is truly no other way I would want them to be.  I read this cute poem today that I thought I would share for all the other mommies out there as well.  :)

IF YOU GIVE A MOM A MUFFIN-

"If you give a mom a muffin, she'll want a cup of coffee to go with it. She'll pour herself some. Her three-year-old will spill the coffee. She'll wipe it up. Wiping the floor, she will find dirty socks. She'll remember she has to do laundry. When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip over boots and bump into the freezer. Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan supper. She will get out a pound of hamburger. She'll look for her cookbook. (101 Things To Make With A Pound Of Hamburger.) The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail. She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow. She will look for her checkbook. The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two-year-old. She'll smell something funny. She'll change the two-year-old. While she is changing the two-year-old the phone will ring. Her five-year-old will answer and hang up. She'll remember that she wants to phone a friend to come for coffee. Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup. She will pour herself some. And chances are, if she has a cup of coffee, her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it."

A year overdue...

Last October we went for a trip to the Street's farm. I meant to post pictures a loooong time ago but forgot that this post was sitting in drafts....for oops....about a year!

Turkeys and geese on the farm

Peeking in at the momma on her nest.

It's an egg!

A very special treat of getting to see a two day old calf.

Mercy petting it, I'm not sure what it finally got named...

Looking at a sheep.

::smile::

Fun on the hay ride.

This makes me laugh since Julia still doesn't have much hair but a year ago she was really bald!



What are you looking at?





Some big ones...

...even bigger!

It turned out to be a hot October day!

But we had a wonderful time, thank you for having us out!

Excited

My kiddos were excited to get a new cousin and inundated Tom and Emily with many drawings and pictures. Here is one of my favorites of their "family". It was done by Charis I believe. :)

 

Tomorrow....

...we celebrate this new little guy. I've got to get busy! There are cupcakes to bake and scripture songs to print and gifts to wrap. :)

Welcome to my newest nephew, Simeon Paul!

 

For Becky :)

How's this? Can you see the date and title posted? :)
