Don't We Have Cute Kids?

Beautiful Baby Girl!!!

Half Cowboy

I went to school today for Kindergarten field day which was very nice but very chilly. While I was there the Kindergarten teacher told me a funny story.

My Kindergartener to his teacher, “You know, I am half cowboy.”

Teacher, “Oh, really.”

Kindergartener, “Yes, I am also half cop.”

Teacher, “OH.”

Kindergartener, “I am half cop because my one grandpa is a cop and I am half cowboy because my other grandpa is a cowboy. Well actually he is half farmer and half cowboy. But, I am half cowboy.”

As I am reading this out loud to my sister to make sure it sounds OK, the three year old pipes up, “You are not half cowboy, you are a mommy!”

What funny boys I have!

Birthday!

Our baby turned three! I guess that means he isn't a baby anymore. He can dress himself, put on shoes, go potty and even make his own toast!

He LOVES animals, especially farm animals. He loves to spend time at Grandpa's house and do chores with Grandpa. At home he has to settle for his animal figures and books about animals.

When I saw this adorable farm cake I knew I had to make it for him despite that fact that it was a lot of work. He loved it but hopefully one day he will know how much love really went into it!

He sure does make our life more interesting and does a great job of making us laugh. One of his most uttered phrases is, "I'm OK." He also loves giving us cheesy smiles!

We went swimming with our friends the Lincoln's for his party. He loves swimming and he loves the Lincolns and he loves animals. It was perfect.

The cupcakes were so much fun to make. If I had a reason to make them again I would.
Emmalee and Gracee and I had a great time making them together.

The cow is my FAVORITE!!! Isn't he adorable!!! Luckily I made extra because the cows were also the favorite among the kids!

Mommy's Boy

My dear sweet, ever-so-funny Isaiah can be VERY possessive of his mommy.

Last night he and Jarad and I were snuggling together and he got very jealous of Jarad kissing me. So he ran and got his boxing gloves and started punching Jarad. He said, "That's for kissing my mommy."

After punching Jarad for a few minutes he declared him dead and ran over to me so he could start kissing me. Because, of course, a dead person can not do anything but lay there.

He is such a funny boy. He adds a lot of humor and laughter and spice to our lives.

However, we WILL NOT be leaving him alone with his new sibling! I'm not sure how I will shower.

In the words of Isaiah...

Last night I took the boys to the Wing Open Boxing Championship at the Air Force Academy. On the way their I told Elijah I had signed him up to box one of the cadets.

Elijah responds, "No, dad, no."

Isaiah, in a threatening voice, said, "That cadet will be dead."

I said, "Isaiah, sometimes you scare me."

Isaiah, "I know, I'm a vampire."

Halloween 2009

Another wonderful Halloween has come and gone

Candy's eaten and buckets empty

A full year we must wait again for such fun

Oh, wait Santa Claus will appear shortly

Don't let his right hook connect. He has a mean upper-cut as well. Beware the champ.

Every Halloween should start off with a good horse ride.

You can't have Halloween without the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

A Haiku for Emmalee:

Our geisha's the best

No Japanese speaks

Sushi and crayfish won't eat

Nice kimono though

Puttin' in his chaw of tootsie roll.

Like Hannah Montana, Gracee is "POPULAR!" No autographs please!
