SAVANNA TURNS 4!!!

These next three slide shows are of Savanna's 4th birthday party. We went to the Bar J Ranch and had so much fun! Will and Amy were here with their two beautiful girls Olivia and Addison. The kids got to go horse back riding, play with new baby kittens, eat dutch oven hot dogs, and go on a hay ride. It was so much fun! Savanna was smiling the whole time. She got to have 10 of her buddies, including her brother and her sister. My friend Heather Vaclaw agreed to be my photographer, and she did such a good job that I couldn't only post a few pictures. I had to post them all. I hope you enjoy

OUR NEW PUPPY!!!

This is our new Jakob puppy. He is very cute. He will let you rub his belly, give him hugs and kisses, and he is pretty good about eating what you give him. He is leash trained as you can see, but we are still working on the potty training. Occasionally he still has "accidents". All the kids love him and I do like taking him on walks. It's very nice in the evenings when he curls up in your lap and snuggles in. ( I love that you can hear him panting like a real doggy, and Savi calling him, so funny!) (sorry about the dark spots, there were lights burned out in the hall that Mark hadn't changed yet.)

LIZARD FUN (for the kids, but maybe not the lizard)

The kids were playing in the back yard with the neighbor boys and they found a little lizard. THey had lots of fun with it. ; ) Probably scared the little guy half to death but to the best of my knowledge they let him go and he did survive the experience. I was actually suprised that Savanna wanted to hold him. Jake sure didn't! The boy in the pic is our friends son Dakota. They live next door.

4 WHEELIN' FUN!

Mark has been getting our 4 wheelers out on the weekends and taking the kids for rides. There are some trails just up from our house that he found and go permission to use. Audrey thinks its awesome to ride on her own. She uses mine cuz I am always in the house cleaning or something. It does make me nervous with Savi hanging on the back, but Mark swears he doesn't go more than like 5 miles an hour so I have to trust him. After all he wouldn't want her hurt either. Notice Jakob's Dora helmet. Mark is adamant that we get him a manly helmet. For now, we use what's on hand and Savanna's Dora bike helmet will protect my most precious boys noggin! I love the picture of Audrey thru my blomming azeala's!!! They are so pretty when they bloom!

EARIN' THIER KEEP!

Just some pictures of the kids earining their keep. "You want dinner, than you better go peel some potato's cuz I am tired of doin' all the work. Okay mama! We will!". I think that's how the conversation went. Then I felt bad cuz if you look closely at the top picture Savanna is holding her thumb because she peeled it. It never pays to be a slave driver.

MY LITTLE HANDSOME!

Okay, so my mom told me that the poo pictures were a little to shocking for the family blog, and I agree, I will post no more poo, and hopefully not have any reasons to!!! In order to redeem my little handsome boy, here is his 2 year old pic taken in November. He is so adorable. This sweet little boy and angelic face is one of 3 that keeps me going through all that may cross my path. I love this boy. He is my little handsome! He loves Scooby doo, which he calls Stuey Doooooo. And he loves to take me by my finger and lead me to what ever it is that he wants. And he doesn't take no, or in a minute for an answer. He can give the best alligator face ever, and then a smile that would rival the sun for it's brilliance. We love Jakob Legrand RAiney!
