She was going ouside in the backyard to play, so I asked her if she wanted her shoes, and she said, "No, I've got my feet".

Happy 30th Birthday Chauncey!!!!

I decorated Chauncey's cube at the Dental School with lots of pictures, balloons, and of course, donuts. I think he will be a little embarassed all day, but hey, its his 30th!!

Jack's curl's

This is what Jack's hair looked like when he was 2. Different huh?!

Kate my tee ball star!

Kate is now the ripe old age of 2 and 1/2 years old, so I igured its time to initiate her into tee ball. She of course will be a natural! I am sooo excited to have a little girl baseball player!!

Where have we been?

Well, I will tell you....it has been a very busy and stressful season for us. We will be in a much better place by the end of April when everything is all over and done with! We need everyone's prayers, and we love you all!!

How old are we anyways?

Chauncey just looked at me, and in all seriousness asked me this question, "Is Walmart really open this late?" The funny part is that it is only 8:30 pm, on a friday nite.

We were coming home from a Valentine's Dinner Dance from church when little Chauncey saw some lights on a street on a hill above us and asked us what those funny things were. Our answer, street lights.

Are we acting like we are Earlybirds just several decades premature, or have we had young children for soooo long that we are losing touch with reality?

Who needs Kiddie Kandids anyways??

I took these pictures of the girls and loved them! I will get to the boys later.

John came to visit

We had a great time when Chauncey's best friend John came to stay with us for a few days. I don't know who enjoyed him more, Big Chauncey, or little. Notice Jackson's underwear in the picture being used as his "pockets" to store his motorcycle he keeps clutched in his fist most of the day.

Chauncey's first tooth LOST!

Chauncey is so funny, he LOVES his Yurdle the turtle and his Build a Bear bear and his flying monkey, he tucks them into bed every nite next to him!

Kate playing the DS

There is this great game called Smart Girls' Playhouse for ages 3-6 that is a learning game for the nintendo DS and Kate LOVES it!
