update

the season has begun and that means a couple great things and a couple not so great things. having your meals cooked for you and your dishes washed for you might be the greatest of all, but having to share the camera with the ranch is no fun. so, no new pics, but since today is my office day up at the lodge i found an old pic that andy took of a big fish and of my freezing hands from a couple years ago.

rowe

this sweet smilin' little one has been throwin' the biggest fits you have ever seen in your life. i have always said that i have loved every single stage of this kiddo. the 'fit-stage,' i could do without.

poppy

i wish i could claim that this child is a 'momma's girl' only, but that is just not the case.

shades

mr. joe cool himself

summer

doesn't this just scream, 'summer!'

swingin'

chap is a big fan of mr. swing. her brother has been a big influence:-)

birthday

happy birthday, momma lee. the daisies are finally bloomin,' just for you:-) we love you!

hubs

andy always jokes with me about my 'red' roots. case in point - his almost mullet. he must be right about the red because i just LOVE it:-) i know i'm biased, but he pulls off the mullet pretty well!

2

forgot to give tooth #2 some props yesterday. here she is :-)

movin'

while her big brother is out with the pukes, this one is just movin', enjoying a 'brother-free' moment. better enjoy it while it lasts, little one. nothing personal, brothers. love you, bro :-)

sick

this might explain why were are inside today. ole rowe has not left the bed in 24 hours, poor little guy. i have stopped counting how many movies he's seen. i'd wanna watch lion king all day if i felt that bad, too.

curls

watchin'

just like her brother at this age, this little lady bug loves to stand at the screen door and just watch what's going on.

tryin'

they sure are tryin' hard. the grass is yet to cooperate.

9

happy 9 month birthday, you smiley little thing.

apple

this apple has not fallen far from the tree. intently fishing at age 2.

'finkin'

when i was teaching in england, i asked one of my students a question and he responded 'i'm 'finkin!' this is chap's 'finkin' face.
