Dog pile

I think this was a dog pile.  Missing Joe though.

Random Easter pictures

I only took a few pictures on Easter this year.  My kids with their cousins, who live in Chicago.  We love getting together with them but just don't see them all that much.

Random Christmas pictures

As the title states... Christmas pictures.. in June.

 Silly Joe, acting like he's sleeping.

"I will get this open one way or another!"  Hee-hee.  I taped the entire thing with packing tape. fun times.

Park fun

Here is a bunch of pictures from an afternoon at the park.
Bubbles, playing, silly faces and our neighbor who I think lives here most the time. ;)  And in NO order what so ever, here you go..

kids and eating worms

3 silly, but super cute, boys.

 1 pretty, but mouthy, girl

 She looks SO young here.  Must be b/c she doesn't have her huge adult teeth in her mouth here. She made a birthday cake out of clay here.  Hungry?

Doesn't sound too good?  Well how about eating worms?

 HA!!  I made worms with Jell-O and whipping cream (with straws).  They looked very cool but oh so gross at the same time.  They were a huge pain in the butt.  The kids would not eat them and really I only ate a couple.  Something about eating worms kinda grossed me.

broken bones

Remember Sam broke her arm?  She broke it on March 26th jumping out of our swings.  She required surgery to re-set it and have pins put in.  One month later, April 25, she had it all removed.

The day of removal...

 Here were the pins in her arm.  This was 1 week out after she broke it.

Ignore the arrow ( I was asking my sister something and too lazy to recrop the original).  She broke the Humerus, as you can clearly see in the above pic.  Right above the elbow.  The bone was wanting to stick out on the inside of her elbow.  She had a huge bump there before surgery.  She broke it very well!!

When she got it off she still had bruising.  The bump is still there and it is still discolored.  The doctor said both will take awhile to go away.

They offered physical therapy but left it up to me.  I chose not to.  We made sure she was using it at home and then added a small weight for her to lift.  We went back 3 weeks later and they said she was cleared and looked great.  She still cannot bend it all the way up (forearm to bicep) but they said that would come with time.  She is slowly not babying it anymore.

I am hoping that was her (and our families) last broken bone!!  The swings kinda freak me out now when I see kids swinging super high.  I will get over it though.

Since I posted a picture of Baby all dressed up for the weekend I will share my moms dog all dressed up as well...

My mom and Sam dressing Sissy up in her coat.

Never miss an opportunity to give bunny ears.

 "Can I get out of this thing now?"

Happy weekend

The kids think it is too funny when I put a t-shirt on Baby....

I don't think Baby was a fan.

Have a great weekend.

Baby bunnies... again

Rabbits must like our yard.  We do have bird feeders out and don't mind when the squirrels and rabbits visit.  In fact, I throw veggies and fruits out there for them.We love watching all our "wild life."  Which is just birds, squirrels and rabbits by the way. :)

Baby is too old to go down steps anymore so she never goes out in the back yard to stink it up like dog.  Here is baby on her 19th (yes 19th!) birthday.

Well she never uses her dog house anymore so something else decided to.  I was going to clean it all out and move it to the deck for Baby.  I pop open the lid/top and find a freshly made nest.  Itty bitty baby bunnies were in it.  They were just born too!  I didn't take pictures like the last time.  I took pictures one day, when they were about 13 days old.  I knew it would not be long and the cute little things would be gone.

 

I know, so cute, right?  Well about 3 days later or so they left the nest. We did see one 2 days later hiding out under some over grown lettuce.

The kids LOVED checking on the babies everyday.  I am hoping the bunnies decide to hang around our yard and come visit our feeders.
