Is this yours?

I found this phone in my car about a week ago, and forgot to ask....sorry if it's yours. I didn't recognize it and assumed it was a phone from the previous owner 1.5 years ago. Then Jonathon pointed out that it probably belongs to someone who was in my car. It's a good thing he thinks during the times I don't. ;-)

It may be safe to say

She's daddy's girl

Okay, you win....

My mother-in law wrote me this comment after I said I was spending too much time playing with photos and not cleaning. She said,

"Love it! I vote you forget the housework and keep 'em coming..........*heart* Mom"

So Mom, you win. I'll continue to spend my "get things picked up" time as my personal blog about this and that time. After all, Eden is still coming out of her room even though she is supposed to be in bed sleeping. And I can't get much else done till she is off in dreamy land.

Here are a few photos from Saturday morning. We were watching our neighbors girls since they are in the process of moving. Jonathon decided to get the rats out, and Eden was in heaven showing off Bella. It was so cute to watch her excitement as she played "show and tell" with all her friends. She loved showing off how Bella would crawl all over her, especially on her head.

We consider ourselves pretty lucky to have so many fun friends to pal around with everyday. And these Mom's are soooo creative when it comes to thinking up fun activities for these kiddos. From impromptu pool parties, to make your own pretzels, to obstacle course in the front yard...

How clever is this?

Fill up the water bucket...Jump from one leapy pad to the next...Through the tunnel...High knees through the boxes...Run through one more tunnel...But get distracted once your through..and never finish the course...And that is where Eden's obstacle course ended ;-)


But as you can plainly see...it was a TON of f. u. n.

And this little boy sat there happy as a lark chewing on his piece of straw. I guess he's just trying to live up to his cowboy name.

But one thing is for sure...THESE KIDS HAVE FUN!

i stole this

My friend took this the other morning... It's just too cute not to steal from her blog and share with you. ;-)

Having fun

I have been spending way too much "I should be cleaning" time on picnik.com making things like these...

How much can I write about in 10 minutes?

Well, i will find out. Since I am only allowing myself the next 10 minutes to complete this...before i tuck my sickly coughy tired very tired self into the couch for a nap.

Both kids went down 20 minutes ago...but I have so many cute photos and memories stored up in my brain that I must realease.

First of all Tex, since he changes the most from day to day. He's determined that walking will be his next mile-stone and his goal is to be walking by Haloween I believe. He practices everyday, and whenever I try to set him down on the ground he stiffens his little legs so he can stand and refuses to let me put him down in a sitting position. He's barely starting to pull himself up onto furniture, so Iexplained to him a goal of walking by Halloween might be a little un-attainable and that he might want to shoot for Thanksgiving or Christmas...but boy is he determined.

And Eden...sweet sweet, hillarious, talking a million miles a minute, makes me laugh all day, sweet big sister, and mamma's huge helper. She just won't quit growing up either. Mostly what makes me laugh about her are the funny phrases she repeats, how suddenly she knows all the words to soooo very many songs, and how she and her brother are THE BEST of friends.

Yesterday as I was working around the house and she was creating one of her famous collages (pictures to come), she said "Oh! Mamma...guess what!?" And I said, "What?" Then she looked at me confused. Again she said, "Oh! And guess what?" and I said, "what?" and she still had nothing to respond. It was just her favorite thing to say for the next 10 minutes and I just couldn't stop laughing. You probably had to be there but it was hillarious.

Lately she has been a stinker about taking naps. I fight with her for about 30 minutes to an hour before giving up. Sometimes she'll stay in her room and play for a while and come out and say, "Hi mamma! I waked up" (I know full well she was not sleeping). Then she says, "I sleep a LOOOONG time. I sleep for 4 months." She is obsessed with saying 4 months right now whenever you ask her how long something is. I think it has something to do with my telling people how old Tex is in months. It's pretty cute.

WEll, I am at 8 minutes, and I wanna add some pictures. Here they are in no particular order for time sakes. ;-)

Okay, so it took me 17 minutes. I guess you can't post text/stories and pictures and upload from your camera in 10 minutes...it's impossible. But it was sure fun to try. And off to couch I go.

Just because

Just wanted to post a photo on here, cause I feel like I haven't posted anything for a few days....the Grandma's are probably dying to see something new. ;-)

Love and miss you guys! And I still love these 2 crazy kids...and they still love each-other.
