Lunch outside makes for one less time I have to run the vacuum... plus we all get a vitamin D boost!

We made this just for Uncle Mark who always requests the first copy of our annual Bluebonnet photo

Yee-haw!

Handsome fellas!

Well, here's the story... I failed miserably as a wife.  We had tickets to see Lyle Lovett and REK in College Station for Valentine's Day.  Klint was not feeling great, so I asked my parents to still keep the kids and let him get some rest but I headed out with a friend to enjoy the night.  The next night I was supposed to leave to go help Kristen host a slumber party for R's birthday.  He promised it was fine.  He was better.  Do not worry.  So I went and when I came home the next day he went to bed for two days.  The following Monday Lilibeth, Jack and West tested positive for flu.  Who leaves their husband home with three toddlers and a case of the flu?  This gal. 

West listens intently to his first real deal story from Papa Bill. 

I love this girl.

Like crazy!

This was the amazing view from our family room one morning recently.

These three get a really big kick out of Old Mother Goose.  NO... I am not referring to Fancy!  Promise, mom ;)

West in the office.  West LOVES the office.  All West wants for his birthday is his very own paper shredder.  I know, I know...

Sweet, sweet

We had a great time at the Aquarium... we were supposed to be in Arkansas, but the flu changed that little plan so we HAD to go somewhere!

Watching Daddy mow is still a #1 pastime

These jokers... this is our reading couch.  They crawl on me like little monkeys while I read and make me crazy until I remind myself how long I prayed to be crawled all over by children of my very own.  They crawled over me and got themselves stuck.  I laughed and took their picture and left them there for a half hour while I had a quiet drink on the back porch.  Just kidding.  Maybe.

We love Arrica!

West talking to one of his girlfriends... Ben or Fancy.

Friends at Library Story Time

Look what Klint caught!

28 months... apparently I lost my camera :)

What have I been doing?  Not taking pictures! Here are a few...

Tea Party!  We needed winds of change to sweep through our home as far as our (all of our!) moods were concerned, and since it was windy and rainy outside we decided to have an indoor tea party.

Lilibeth loves to say, "What.  Is.  THIS?"

Sweet girl... Her brothers at the tea party... oh, my!  Jack asked for more tea.  I said "Sure" and started off to get him some.  West wanted more too, but I told him he needed to finish what was left in his cup.  As I looked back, West was dumping the remainder of his tea cup on our dining room rug.  Problem solver, that guy.

But I can never stay mad at those handsome fellas!

Paint party!  Thanks, Emma!

She looked so cute for church, then West threw up :(  No church,  but a picture anyway!

Jack on his first date with me... to Luby's.  His father (and my charming husband) HATES Luby's, so I will have to coerce the children to eat there with me!

There's that handsome fella who hates Luby's!  But he loves Willie Nelson and we had such a great time seeing him in concert.

We went to Sesame Street Live... I think they are having a conversation.  Lilibeth:  "West can you see Big Bird?"  West: "No."  Lilibeth:  "Oh, no!  I think our parents are cheap!"

The Willie Nelson weekend ended with more live music at a local winery with my parents.

Two hungry boys

One exhausted boy

Cousin party!

Look at those curls!

Happy Valentine's Day to my little loves!

An attempt at a group Valentine's Day picture

He loves his Daddy!

Papa Bill is always ready for a good time outside!

We were on our way to the local FFA show and asked if we could hop on the bus.  These three are wild about a "Skoo Bus"

Jack likes to sleep with a few monkeys

Klint and I loved this... He was bringing the kids to Walhalla to meet me and Jack wanted to accessorize with his Santa hat in February...  It's always a good look!
