Playground Fun!

The kids LOVE to be outside...and since we really don't have a "play" friendly yard...yet. I try to take them to the School playground as often as possible. I prefer the school playground to the park. Call me a snob if you will...but I feel like the school playground is cleaner.

If we think about it ahead of time we call in friends. This time Zachary and Zayne were our playmates.

Such a little cutie...puffing his chest out for the camera. He was in bad need of a haircut.

I just love this little guy...he has such a sweet spirit. He is starting get an ornery side though!

Such a little stinker...She was running away from the camera, so I took a "blind" picture(basically a point and shoot picture). I think it turned out pretty cute.

Zachary was being so sweet...he wanted to make sure Zayne had fun too! He took him down that slide several times.

Just a Swinging!

I absolutely LOVE this picture...I don't really know why...it just catches my eye every time I look at it.

She looks so sad...but for some reason this is the only picture I have of her that trip.
Taking a little break...yum sonic is so refreshing!
I think the swings are his favorite...he just seems like he wants to stay in them the whole time we are there.
She is growing up too fast...someone please make time stand still.
Which side to go down...Decisions...Decisions!!

The Rest of The Story...

A couple of weeks ago Tenley got her first hair cut.

She had several different layers of hair growth and I wanted to even it up without loosing much length.

It turned out so cute!! I was so please!! She looked absolutely adorable!!!
It was a little rocky getting started...there were a few tears, but all in all she had fun.

And the rest of the story...

She must have liked having her hair cut, because later that very same night...she cut her hair again. Yes you read right...she cut her own hair again. I guess it could have been worse...she could have cut it to the scalp or cut Miles' hair...but still...we just had hers cut!! I guess we should have stressed the "It's only OK for Tara to cut your hair" speech.

Here is the damage...she did this to both sides. She left a couple of long stands, but cut most of it off just under her ear.

So I called the next day and made her an appointment to fix the problem. Tara is very good at what she does so we were going to have to wait a couple of weeks before I could get her in.

TODAY was the big day!

Waiting to get her hair cut...again!

She asked to take a picture with her Momma while she waited...it was so sweet!
She thought getting her hair washed was the best part...It happens to be my favorite part too!
Would you look at all the hair!!
The new Little Miss Tenley!!!

I am so pleased...yes it is short, but again, it could have been so much worse! The whole time Tara was cutting Tenley's hair she was telling me about little girls who have cut their hair and she was called in to work her magic.

Finally...

I have been waiting and waiting...but no more! I met "little" Mac. What a doll! He was so sweet and precious. I can't wait to see him again. Hopefully soon!!! I just know that Sydney and Mac are going to be close.

Mac and Sydney did so well taking pictures...I sure hope they keep it up.

I think Mac looks like he is trying to kiss Sydney!

Pitiful...Poor Babies! Sydney didn't feel well. You can tell if you look at her eyes.

Just chillin'...waiting for the crazy Mommas with the cameras to stop taking pictures.
I don't know what they are looking at, but they are looking at the same thing!

Oh yeah...I took Sydney to the Dr. this morning. She has pink eye...in both eyes & ear infections...in both ears! Poor baby...she really didn't feel good.

Cara, I really hope your babies don't get pink eye. Tenley and Miles haven't so maybe your boys wont either.

Are You Achin'...

...For Some Bacon??? Or Pork Chops, German Sausage, Breakfast Sausage, Ham, Roast, Ribs, Pork Steaks, or Hot Links...cause we got all that...in out freezer!!!

In the Fall Goose and I bought a "feeder pig"(a pig that you fatten up and then send off to the butcher). We also talked Toby and & Steph into getting one as well and keeping it at our house...hence Zachary's Piglet.

I was a little worried that the kids would get attached, but it didn't seem to be an issue.

Piglet & Zachary's Piglet

Tenley was showing them where their food was...she thought they looked hungry

See Momma...here's their food

Miles just liked playing with their food...he is such a boy!!

He thought the pigs were getting a little too close

Yup...too close. He decided to give them their space

Piglet & Zachary's Piglet enjoying life...little did they know it would end all too soon!!!

P R E C I O U S ! ! ! ! !

The kids and I were hanging out at Grandnanna and Grandpa's and I pulled out my camera ready to sneak some pictures whenever they weren't looking, but to my surprise they were more than happy to smile for the camera.

I thought they did great...actually I was excited about all the good pics I got.

Tenley really thought she was a big girl...since she got to hold Sydney

And the smiles just kept coming! Sydney looks like she is sleeping, but really she is just looking at the ground...I can only imagine she is thinking...are you sure this is a good idea Mom...it is a long way down!!

She thought it was so funny taking her picture in the tree.
What a little ham...he is such a happy little boy. He loves to play in Grandpa and Grandnanna's back yard.
I even caught Sydney smiling inside on Grandnanna's couch. Sweet girl...Sweet smiles!!!

I love my babies...they are so precious...I can't imagine life without them!!!

One Birthday...Three Parties!

Tenley really got to celebrate her birthday in style this year. She managed to get 3 parties for the price of 1 birthday!

Party #1

I wanted to get some "Mommy" points, so I made cupcakes for her to take to school and share with her friends. She was so excited...she wanted to take more cupcakes the next day.

Party #2

Goose and I like to do a little family celebration with just us and the kids. I cook the birthday kids favorite meal for supper, they open their gifts. Then best for last we eat cake!! Or in this case, cupcakes. I know the concept has been done before, but it's a first for me. It was fun!

It was A LOT of pink!!!

Even with all the pink I still thought they turned out pretty cute...but lets face it...it's more about the way it tastes. Those cupcakes were so goooood it was hard to just have one...or two!

Tenley said...these are for me too!

Tinker bell...Tinker bell...Tinker bell!!! She got Tinker bell shoes, to go with the outfit she already had. Tinker bell and the Lost Treasure and she got some stuff to play with outside, caulk(we can ever have enough of that), and a rainbow ribbon streamer...thingy!

Party #3

Tenley's extended family and friends party. We tried to have it at the Snyder Elementary School Playground, but we quickly learned that the wind was not going to cooperate and die down. So we let the kids play for a good while and then we moved to Grandpa and Grandnanna's for the cake and home made ice cream.

Tenley on the swings trying to go higher!!

Sorry about this picture...I need a flash for my camera. This is what happens when you don't have a flash and the lighting is not just right. This picture was the best one of the kids with the cake I had. I didn't even get one with just the cake...oops! I opted for green icing this time...and you can't see them but it had little blue, pink, and yellow poke-a-dots all over it.

Needless to say...3 parties(2 batches of cupcakes, and 1 BIG birthday cake) later...I'm tired!!!!

Miles is so proud of his little sister.
