Bird watching....at church?

At church on the edge of the window a bird had built a nest and laid eggs. While I was helping cleaning he church I noticed the eggs had hatched so I ran home got the kids and my camera. The first is the first one I took and they hadn't been hatched but a 3-4 days. The next picture is about a week later...I went to take the next picture and they were gone already. I need to go take a picture of the empty nest...I think it would make a cool picture arrangement for my kids room or someplace.

One exciting trip...can you tell!!!

For Memorial Day weekend we on the spur of the moment decided to go to Marshall 's (Lance's youngest brother). Well we left at like 4:00pm on Saturday and arrived back at our house Monday @11:00 pm. Needless to say we really enjoyed ourselves but the drive wasn't anyone's favorite part. Samantha didn't mind it when she was like the pictures you see here but when she wasn't sleeping she was a bear. Especially on the way home, the last picture is after a moment of constant whining and crying...she finally lapsed in to a stare that turned into a nap. We all were thankful to be home that night.

Flying heads

Caleb's head has sprouted wings and was flying around the basement. Goofy kid.
This how I have been feeling lately...always so much to do and not enough time to do it all. At the end of my day I often wonder did I accomplish anything today?!!?? I am starting to feel the time closing in...we will be starting school in alittle over a month from now. I love the schedule that we have when we have school but.....you know.

Bathroom remodeling....ugh!!!

We are in the middle of bathroom remodeling. That isn't a fun job...poor Lance is doing most of it right now. He has total removed any plaster and lath from the walls. We only have a toilet in there right now. The window is even removed, the one that Sammy is sitting on, in the picture. We are showering at Lance's moms and brushing teeth in the kitchen. I will include some pictures later. One room at a time and we will get a new house. ;)

Dressing up

Catching up!!!

Ok I know it has been a long time since I have updated. I have been snapping pictures allot lately so I will be doing a couple of slides so you can see what has been going on. Since school has been out I feel I have been spinning my wheels. I think I must be a person who thrives on a schedule. But we are working into a new one that will probably change has lawn mowing gets more demanding. I have been doing allot of ebay selling for other people so that is taking up allot of my computer time. But I am enjoying making a little money to add to the house fund. Woo Hoo!!! Ok I won't bore with all the details of the last couple of weeks I will just let you see the pictures that will speak for themselves.

A day at the saloon and her date....birthday gift.

For her birthday she got to go to the saloon to have her hair done and have a manicure. Our little princess is growing up, this is one of the things she really enjoys, pampering. So we decided to give her a gift of pampering by someone else besides mom. She was excited, couldn't wait. She said she felt like a princess. She had to remind me that her Uncle Luke said she was a princess. Also as part of her gift she got to go out on a date with dad. Lance said she talked all the way home and then when she got home she talk somemore. She was so excited when she came home. I am so glad we did this. When you watch the slide you can click on the x on the pop up window and you can see better....just had to have this song on this one.
