PHOTO DUMP

Face art with Grammie

 So here are just some random photos from the last few months. I don't have many on our actual camera anymore, they are mainly on the iphone. So I will have to figure out to transfer them.

Books!

So I have been reading a lot of books since I became our church librarian and I will eventually tell  you some I have enjoyed. But we also started going to Belgrade's Public Library so the kids could get lots of books for the summer and two I have really like for them are:


The Book with No Pictures by B.J. Novak. It is one you need to read aloud to your kids and they will find it hilarious. The only thing I didn't like is that has "butt" in it which isn't a terrible word but it just isn't one of my favorite words for my kids to say.

The Pigeon Needs a Bath. It is just a cute book

these don't have any morals or huge points taught~they are just fun to read!

I will to make a list of other books I have really enjoyed soon and I will download some pictures too! ;o)

A short new post!

So I have had 3 people ask about my blog recently and I was like 3 people care! ;) I guess I could try to update more then. We have a new computer so I don't have any pictures on it and I don't know how yet to load new ones. The kids are busy with basketball camp this week and are really enjoying it. And I will post some pictures soon! :o)

A cat and mouse...

So just a story tonight....

We have had a mouse in our house~ amazing, since we did have 9 cats at the time (we just got rid of the 6 kittens). Well, the mouse was basically in behind our stove and in the stairway wall. I thought it might be impossible to get! But Saturday night, I was awake in bed and thought I heard some scuffling...in our bedroom! Then I hear it under our bed so I nudge Justin and say "Did you hear that?" He answered in the affirmative and bolted out of our bed (honestly, probably the fastest I have seen him move in the middle of the night) to get our cat.
He brings Bobcat in and puts him under the bed and Bobcat senses the mouse right away. He chases out from under the bed to behind our dresser. Justin pulls the dresser out and brings Bobcat over and BOOM, mouse caught and one happy kitty and wife! ;o)  After we get all settled in bed again, I ask Justin what the time is and it is 3 a.m.! That was our exciting Saturday night and I really hope that was the only mouse!

Our big hunter

These pictures are all out of order and I am not patient enough to make them right! :o)

Past Week

Uncle Justin and Chevelle

 We had a fun past week because we finally got to meet lil' Chevelle! She is such a beauty and so sweet! Addi and Nessa are such great parents too! I even got up w/ her in the middle of the night (once~it is hard to go back to that schedule!) and she was still so sweet! :o)

Jay really liked her

The wee ones and Nessa

 And of course, we celebrated Easter! A beautiful day to celebrate Jesus' resurrection!
