105 degrees plus humidity

I could really use a backyard like this right now! It would suit my pregnant self just fine!

Don't you wish you were little again?

Loving their Movies

Dogs

This is their new favorite game. Next time I will try to get video. It's really quite amusing.





























P.S. for confused readers, we are not moving.

P.S.S. I am leaving the blog open. But asking that if anyone has our last name on their list. Could you kindly remove it. Thanks.

I think its growing on me

You know how the grass is always greener. At least that seems to be my usual thoughts. But im starting to realize the grass is actually pretty green right in my own backyard. My backyard in Kansas. After being offered a job in Denver. I started freaking out. But wait, I can't leave this town. And that song, "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go Dear Lord." It kept popping up in my head. I guess I just feel like we are here for a reason. So I guess what I am saying is sometimes life might not always be as planned. And even flat old Kansas, with it's messed up sidewalks can feel like home.

P.S. Happy Fathers Day to my dad, dad-in-law, and husband. You guys are all pretty amazing.

Terribly Sad

Whenever we drive past McDonalds Maddux starts yelling, "yaaaaaaaaay, eat." Hmmmmm I wonder who taught him this, honey?

Pregnant Cravings

With Jadyn it was pizza, and wood chips and chalk.

With Maddux, hot wings from Rib City and smoked pheasant from the Burbanks (which I never got)

And Baby ?? its these little guys.

When a craving hits it is horrible. Until it is satisfied. Being pregnant is so weird sometimes.

Little Girls and Curls

Little Boys and Basketballs

Happy 25

love you babe!

Thank Goodness For Dads

I just don't have the energy for this. The first is Jadyn when she was little and the next is Maddux.

I Cannot Wait!!!

Starvation

He is starting to look like a child from Ethiopia. I threw away all the nubby sippy cups in hope of him consuming more food and less juice. He lives on fruit snacks and crackers and jucie. Im about to start jamming mash potatoes down his throat. Hes still cute though, eh?

Unexpected Workout

Keep in mind that Jadyn is only 3. Me and the kids are playing outside in the driveway, as we do a lot. Maddux starts to act a little tired, so I asked them if they wanted to go on a bike or stroller ride. Which usually puts Maddux right to sleep. Jadyn says she wants to, but she wants to ride her own bike by me instead of riding in the trailer. She has never ridden her bike besides in the drive-way. I decide to let her give it a try. So I put Maddux in the stroller and walk along beside her to help her. She is doing great. Pedaling faster than I can walk. I was really surprised. We made it all the way to the park about a 1/2 mile from our house. She decides instead of playing on the slides with Maddux, she will just ride her bike all around the basketball court. I let them play for about an hour. Then we head home and right away she is struggling. About 1/2 block and she is crying, saying mom my legs are burning, mom my legs are on fire. At first I thought it was kind of funny and I started pulling her. But we were still a long way from home. I had to pull her bike and push the stroller at the same time. It was really hard! Pretty soon my butt and legs were on fire. I had to force her to pedal some. And she would cry as she pedaled to the stop sign. I had already been to the gym and I was dying. I would have called Pat to come get us, but I forgot my phone. It was horrible. We finally made it home and I put her on the couch rubbed her legs and told her she was Amazing! She said I think my legs are going to break apart.

P.S. Do you like the blanket and pillow I made for the baby? It's really soft. Jadyn and Maddux covet it.
