Over the pass, through the woods to Great-Great Grandma's we go...

We spent the weekend at Grandma Gerry's. It was great. We went to the portrait studio by her house and had a 5 generation picture taken. It is pretty amazing that there are 5 generations of women alive. McKinley loved Grandma's tablespoon.

Our little motor head. She LOVES riding the dirtbike with Daddy! You could see her big-ol' grin through her new helmet:) Tyler is getting ready to build a swing set behind the gardens. If the stinkin' wind ever stops blowing!

Who, Me???...

(don't look at the cupboard mess.- I am going to fire my housekeeper!)

We have ourselves an explorer! She loves to get into everything!!! Yesterday she was sucking Mrs. Butterworth's head (syrup) must have some leftovers:) It was pretty funny!

Tyler came home with McKinley's first helmet. She didn't mind it on her head. It is so cute. Time to get her a little 50- just kidding!

We are going up to Auntie's after lunch. We are finally better, so the kids can play while Stacy & I do a little paperwork and just hang out.

Ta ta.

Water Baby...


McKinley LOVES the water...last night we tried the hot tub. She was hilarious. At first, she clung to Tyler for dear life, then she loosened up a bit. Our camera went T.U. so I only got one blurry picture. Her swim suit is soooo stinkin' cute. Can't wait for summer!!!

Risk Taker...


Oh Boy!...

McKinley loves to climb on everything. It makes me nervous with our hard floors...but I guess, she will learn. This is how I found her a few mornings ago. I missed the shot of her standing up with "no hands" on the bench. Crazy girl!

We haven't been up to much around here. Just trying to get over our colds. McKinley is trying to get a top tooth on top of having a cold. I did go yard-saleing this morning- burrr! Found a ton of good used clothes and a bike seat for the babes:) I know, I know, they are dangerous, but so is everything else in life- I promise we will wear our helmets!

Please check out my new business. There is a link on the right side of our blog. If you don't check it- your loss. My house smells good. Does yours? :)

Love to all!!

Uncle Miles and Amanda...


I don't think she likes him:)
Lifting baby weights...
The Fam
Yikes:)
Here are some CUTE pictures taken over Easter weekend when Uncle Miles and Amanda were visiting. We went out to dinner and had a great time with the fam.

Today our entire family was home resting...well at least trying to rest. McKinley has been feeling a little better:) And Tyler is doing better as well. As for me, well, I am still battling a sore throat- but seem on the mend.

Mooooooo...






We went to Jake's family branding this weekend. It was super fun!! Minus the snow of course. What the heck was up with that? Luckily it warmed up enough on Saturday to brand. The calves were also dry- thank goodness, or they would have had a big group of helpers for no reason. I must say- our camper is heavenly! McKinley can crawl all over the place and even takes good naps in our bed (hmmm?) We got home Sunday evening and all woke up with nasty colds- AGAIN! I am going to block off our house and we are going to live in a bubble for a few weeks!

Hope all is well.

Aunt Teresa visits...




Aunt Teresa came over to visit last week. She is great and McKinley loved showing off for her and Jack. My mom and brother came over the same night for dinner. Granny P also came over for a quick visit- it was great to have a full house. Tyler and I love visitors- as does McKinley. Here are a few pictures.
