I'm Still Here

I have been really bad at posting...

We've been having fun since school got out. Swimming & playing with cousins. We're out of the house a lot. The kids love the summer reading program at the library & the fun prizes they get.

I've enjoyed putting the kids to work (a few extra chores) and seeing them realize what a job it is to take care of themselves. Emma is 3-1/2 now & is such the baby (princess) of the family. She thinks everyone should do everything for her, but she's getting to clean up after herself too. I wonder why she thinks she's the princess when J & N fight over who gets to carry her in the house from the car. Hmmm. On another note, they have been asking when we are having another baby. I'd be happy to oblige, but Dustin is not having anything to do with it. He said we would need an acre of land to have more kids & he'd like to have pigs to go on the land too. What?!? Where did that come from? So--no babies for us. I know who would be taking care of pigs & it wouldn't be him. (Yes, I need to go to bed, this is really random!)

Some fun news...Dustin is now a real estate agent & is on the lookout for deals. We've been looking at tons of homes & are hoping to sell ours in Parker so we can make some investments here. Anyone looking to buy or sell? Call him -- he'll be on it & make it happen. There are some great deals to be had, especially for someone who hasn't owned a primary residence in the past 3 years--in the form of tax rebates. Don't have his number, leave a comment & I'll make sure he gets it.

A Spring Time Story

Once upon a time there were four rambunctious kids.

(A couple weeks ago, before the wind & rain.)

They were so excited when it got warm enough to wear swim suits outside and run through the sprinklers. Mom & dad had finally gotten the swingset from Christmas put together and it was time to PLAY!


The baby of the family could swing for hours; if only she could find someone to push her for that long!

Her big sister is the family clown & asked begged to be buried under the gravel!

*Poof* her wish was granted.

Big brother patiently lifted little bro up on the bar and taught him to flip!

These kids played for hours outside without a care in the world...




THE END!
