new

there's a new sheriff in town.  sort of looses its 'umph' when the sheriff is picking her nose.   

here's chap's best cowboy smile

then i asked her to make her best cowboy face

this one is the best i think

nope. this one is better. tough, very tough.

and then even tougher

and then back to miss giggles

faces

the many faces of this child.  sorry about all of the weird spaces. my computer is going nutso. 

sleepin'

i love these pics that andy took the other day on the back porch with his phone. my littlest one is not that little any longer.

funny

two things: #1 - i love my husband's sense of humor and so do these kiddos. mr. belly is a prime example.  #2 -  chapin will never forgive me for this

goggles

googles + this kid = hilarious

aquarium

on the way to the airport to pick up a fishing friend of andy's, the kiddos were lovin' the aquarium stop at bass pro.

friends

woody & jessie checkin' on the neighborhood

swimmin'

watchin' this kiddo swim by himself makes me feel like he is 18 already

project

s

i read something somewhere sometime, i know that's really specific, about taking pics of your kiddos artwork and then making a photo book as opposed to somehow organizing all 738,000 pieces of paper. so that was my project today and it really moved my heart. it just encouraged me to be more aware of His creativity in these four little hands.  anyway, this one of chap's i just love.

heart

we got a fun little package from germany yesterday and the kiddos were loving all of their 'eileen treats.' chapin especially loved her new button shirt. we love you, eileen & miss you like crazy! rowe loved his shirt, too. see below:-)
