I love Family Fun! The magazine and having fun with my family. 🙂 Lynn has asked for an entry about what we do for family fun around here. Lots – I’d like to think anyway. We work hard and play hard. Fun comes in feeding the cows and brushing the horses. (Believe it or not,…
What a lovely end to September! Beautiful weather, great fun and good company. After a trip to the local Pumpkin Festival on Saturday, Steve and the kids headed to the back of our farm for a little fishing in the creek. Mahayla made the catch of the day with this nice-looking bass. It made a…
My Daddy is turning 60. Twenty-four years ago on my Mom’s 30th birthday, my Dad surprised her with a party full of friends and family. It took her quite a long time to repay the favor, but she successfully pulled off a surprise birthday party for him this year! We had such a good time! …
We’ve been gearing up for school around here this week. Much of our time has been spent in the schoolroom reorganizing EVERYTHING. It’s still not entirely finished. I’ll post pictures of the new, and hopefully improved, room soon. The week wasn’t all work and no play, though. My Granny, who lives in Alabama, came in…
Caleb loves baseball. He’s been on a t-ball team for three years now and finally made the All Star team this year. We were very proud and he was very excited. Ball has always been fun, fun, fun for him. He plays pretty well, laughs a lot, jokes with his coaches and is good to…
This is how he looked as I dropped him off Monday. See those nervous eyes? Yes, I cried. Not in front of him, though. He was being brave, so I needed to. Right before I left, I introduced him to two little boys who were playing the ring toss. Apparently, that was a good introduction…
Seven. How do the years go by so quickly? As I sit holding Eli, I remember holding Caleb the same way what seems like only yesterday. He’s always been my cuddle-bug. I don’t understand how someone can be so full of energy, so busy, so fast and so independent, yet give more hugs than anybody…
Have you ever had one of those children who thinks he’s a comedian? A child who will be obedient to what you actually say, but you have to cover EVERYTHING in your directions or else he’ll find a loophole? Well, I’ve been blessed with such a child. He has got to be one of the…
Happy Birthday my sweet, beautiful Mahayla! We celebrated your BIG 10 year old birthday today – I can’t believe it’s been TEN YEARS already!! I wouldn’t trade one moment of these ten years for all the money in the world. You are growing into an amazing young lady and I look forward to all the days…
A proud mama just has to share…..
Yesterday (after an unusually long playtime without arguments), my sweet little rough-and-tumble 6 year old son walks down the stairs fresh from “Mahayla’s Hair and Nail Salon” (located in the bathroom.) He looks at me with his big blue eye-shadowed eyes, his gelled-to-perfection hair, and his wet-to-the-touch blue fingernails and says, “Mom, can we PLEASE…
Wow! I took these pictures about a week ago when Eli was 3 weeks old. He has already turned from his side to his belly a couple of times and from his belly to his back a few times. This was going from belly to back.
