Ever wonder what happens when a little girl steals the camera??? I guess we will find out.

Biking

I really like this picture. Big brother Ricky is giving Jessie a ride. How sweet, these are the moments I really love about having a lot of children. They really do love each other and will have each other to lean on later in life :) God is good!!

Biking

Kenny is so brave - we just took the wheels off and he is keeping up with the others :)

This past weekend we took the training wheels off of Kenny's bike. And away he goes :)

Well, after finding out Jessie had a vision problem we had the boys checked. Ricky actually needs glasses for reading. Isn't he cute :)

Pregnancy

Well, I am 26 weeks pregnant and my little boy is growing very good. He is very active and loves to kick and roll. I decided to take the plunge for Mothers Day and get my hair cut! I feel light and free :)

Jessie gets glasses :)

Jessie wanted everyone to see her pretty pink glasses with little pink rinestones on the sides.

Recently we were all outside together and Jessie said "here comes Dalton" (our neighbor). Well, Chris looks over, and I look over and guess what - it was Ricky! So, we had Jessie's eyes checked and her left eye was not really seeing anything but being lazy.

She just got her new glasses - isn't she pretty!

Easter chicks

Here chick, chick, chick!

Easter chicks

This is what they will look like when they grow up. They are a beautiful copper penny color. The breed is the Buff Orpington. They lay large brown eggs.

When I was growing up in New England I remember a commercial we heard all the time. Their jingle was "brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh!"

However, my kids think they are chocolate eggs!

Easter chicks

Here they all are cuddled up under the heat lamp. Right now the only one that has a name is Jessie's little chick. and yes she can tell them apart! Her chicks name is "Pecker." Ha! Ha!

Easter chicks

Our family decided to learn about chickens, and what better way than to get some! We love agriculture, and farm fresh eggs are the best!

Not to mention they make very affectionate pets who come running when they see you. The kids are so happy :)

Baby things

And I found a neat vibrating bouncy chair too. This one has a removeable chair pad so I can wash it too.

Baby things

Last week there was a really nice consignment sale here in town. I found this really neat high chair - it has a removeable tray that goes in the dishwasher! I love it!!!

Baby things

Here is the pretty basinett! It is like new, she only used it a few times then packed it away.

Tennessee Countryside

Later in the day I took a ride into Livingston to pick up a baby bassinet / playpen. Some of the views here in TN are just beautiful :)
