On the verge of crawling!  Lots of squigglin' around...army crawlin' they call it!!!

My momma doesn't know what a shock she is going to be in when I really start to crawl...I will give her a few more days to get prepared!!

See those books on the floor?  I spend a great deal of my time putting books back on the shelves.  I think Westynn's favorite thing to do is to pull books off the shelf.  While I don't like having them all over the floor, I know that this is the beginning of his love of reading.  The other two kids did the same thing when they were his age and they are lovers of books now.

Last afternoon at home with the kiddos before I start a new job and C & W start going to daycare!  We got out the remote for the camera and just had some fun being goofy and silly!

Until they started fighting over the remote...oh well, such is the life of 6 and 4 year olds!

Had quite the little hail storm this evening!  Made the ground look like it was covered in snow.  Kids found it fascinating!

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE that the new fridge has room to hold 60+ frosted cupcakes!  Cupcakes are ready to be devoured at Brett's graduation party!

Jeremy cut these dead branches out of our apples tree and the kids made good use of them before they get hauled off.   Tonight it was their FORT!  Very creative little stinks, don't you think?  They even had a "door" that you had to enter through.  I just love watching little imaginations at work!

Here we are "enjoying" an evening at Grandma Robin's and Papa Jene's.  Papa bought this swing for Westynn and he LOVES to swing in it.  Almost as much, the big kids love to push him in it.  You might notice the fighting going on in the background!  While I had much better pictures of Westynn from this evening, this picture was more indicative of our evening.

Preston's first school field trip! 

Today Mrs. Jackson's kindergarten class went to Dodge City.  They got to enjoy the zoo and a picnic in the park followed by a round of bowling before heading back to Protection.  When they got to Protection they got to go to Don's for ice cream cones.

It was so cute because Preston told me that they got to go to Dillon's for ice cream.  I asked if they all went in or if Mrs. Jackson went it and got it.  They all went in, he said.  I was so very impressed that Mrs. Jackson took a class of 18, mostly 6 year olds, into Dillon's to buy some frozen ice cream cones.  When I asked what town Dillon's was in, Preston told me Protection.  I had to get the real story from Mrs. Jackson. She told me that the whole class had to go to the bathroom at Don's as well.  Monkey see, monkey do I suppose!

The trip was a fun one for Preston and I am so glad, because I don't know who was most excited when the day started, him or his mother!
