New Camera!!!

As it turns out I didn't have to wait for my camera as long as I thought I would. Goose has been saving for longer than I thought and he found the camera he was looking for on ebay. I love it!!! It is wonderful!! Check out a few of the great pictures we have taken with it so far...

Our sweet little boy!
Awe...Daddy...Please!!!
I think he is trying to do Tenley's mischievious face! How do you think he did?


What a cuttie!!! Goose took all these of Miles. I think he could have a career in Photography...then again...the type of camera does help!!
It just doesn't get any better than riding along with Daddy!
It isn't often I get pictures of Tenley looking at the camera and smiling...so this is one of my favorites.
One more from Goose. Mister Innocent!!
"Come see what I did!"
"Mama...No more pictures!!"

Miles & Monkey

Granny gave this monkey to Miles for his 1st birthday. He loves him. I can count the number of nights he has gone to sleep without him on one hand. Naturally Tenley named him...Monkey!! Monkey is definitely Miles' night time buddy. Thanks Granny!
Why is it that sleeping babies are the sweetest?

Totally relaxed!!

Waiting on Daddy

Last Saturday Goose needed to make a trip to Abilene to get a part on his milk tank fixed. So naturally the kids and I loaded up and went with him. I am Goose's designated driver...he is not allowed to drive while drowsy!!
I thought we would drop off the part to be fixed. Then we could go eat, run some errands, and get groceries. Then go pick it up. Turned out the "drop off the part" took over an hour. Goose stayed to help fix it.
You might be asking yourselves, "what happens when the kids and I are left in the car waiting for Goose for over an hour"? Well...turns out...you get some pretty cute pictures.This was cute! I asked them to smile and Tenley leaned closer to Miles for a better picture.


OK, turns out they weren't quite ready for this one...but still...two pretty cute kids!

I absolutely love this one! How precious is he?

They are a little big. I am thinking he will eventually grow into them.

Go Faster! Go Faster! Just kidding...I wasn't driving! I'm not crazy...I wouldn't drive around without the kids in their car seats.

"Here let Tenley try!"


In Tenley words, "Cooooool...I'm a Wock Star!"


I think she still has some growing into the shades herself.

"CHEEZZZZZZ!"


Once again she posed herself.

We did get everything done...it just took a little longer than we thought it would. I drove. Goose was able to take a nap. The kids spent some time with Goose. All and All pretty good day.

Mommy's Little Helper

You might not know, but we planted a garden this year. Part of our evening routine is to water the garden. I laid the water hose in the trench, and then I started walking around to check for new little vegetables spouting to life.

I knew I would need to keep an eye on Tenley...that girl gets into everything!! I checked she was drawing with sidewalk chalk.

What I didn't factor in was Little...Sweet...Innocent...never gets into trouble...Miles! While I was busy checking plants and watching out for Tenley, Miles was doing a little trouble making...
What a little stinker! While I was busy he decided to play with the water hose and a nice mud puddle.

Looks of it my little Indian is putting on his war paint for the big showdown! I think he wants a kiss...Any takers??



When I look at this picture I imagine he is thinking..."Now how do I get it off?"
"No really Mom, stop taking picture's and help me get this stuff off!!!

Pics From the Kids Eggs Hunt

This was really Miles' 1st Easter egg hunt. Sure, last year Goose carried him around and picked up eggs, but this year he picked up the eggs for himself. He did a really good job. I thought once he had an egg in each hand he would be done.



Another egg...Yea! Good job Miles!
In the bucket...you can do it!


He kept wanting to look inside the eggs. I tried to explain that you find as many eggs as you can, then you take them inside and then you look in your eggs. He didn't understand...he's 1...I didn't you really expect him to. I still have to try though! Luke was so sweet! He was showing Miles how to do it. Miles' is off to see if there are any eggs left.
This is what you get when you ask Daddy to take a picture of both the kids. I can't gripe too much...I mean technically he did do what I asked.

The many faces of Tenley...

Face 1. Too windy!
Face 2. Happy!
Face 3. Excited!


Face 4. Mischievous...it there ever was one!
Face 5. Searching!
Face 6. Contemplation!

They both had a good time and it is always fun to watch them.

Helping Daddy

Tenley's favorite thing to do is help her Daddy. Usually she helps him push feed. She enjoys that because she gets to ride the 4-wheeler. Every now and then she gets to actually help him put the feed out. She has even gone to milk with him a couple of times.

This was Miles' first time to help his Daddy put out feed. He looks like he enjoyed himself. I see a lot more helping his Daddy in his future.
The tractor looks pretty full. Where are the future 8 kids supposed to ride???

Future Dairy Farmers in the making!Goose liked this picture. He said it shows that they were in the tractor working. I think it just shows how dirty his tractors actually get. From the looks of this one like we need a good rain.

Tenley's 3rd Birthday Party

Tenley turned 3 in March! Can you believe that??? It has been over a month and it is still sinking in with me. My baby girl is 3!!!

We had her party at the Snyder Elementary School playground. I am totally sold on outside (playground) parties! The kids had a blast and I was stress free! Does it get any better?

Here are just a few pictures that Alanna, Nancy, & Cara were gracious enough to share with me. Thank y'all so much!
