Boogers

Ya ever get boogers
Way up in your nose?
And they won't come out
Tho you blows and you blows.

What do you do?
I haven't a clue
Cuz boogers like that
Are tougher than glue!

You might grow your nails
And use them as a pick,
Cuz boogers like nails
And to them they will stick!

And now that that booger
Is stuck on your hand,
Would you mind telling me,
What is your plan??

P.S. I'll end this poem
Cuz it's time to go.
Think I'll try
Once more to blow!!!

Written by Christian and Bens' Great Grandmother - LuLu. LuLu was a preschool teacher for years, perhaps that's what inspired her to write this poem. I need to ask her. When I was a little girld she would recite this poem to me. It's always been one of my favorites.

Funnier

The older they get the louder, funnier, and more destructive they get. This is just an example of funnier. Ben likes to wear his floaties in the house. I remember when Christian use to do the same thing. They LOVE Daddy's boots.

Visit

Yep, this is from a month ago. I took these pictures on a different camera that I don't use as often, and in turn forgot about them. Oops.

My Mother-In-Law came to stay with us for a few days and help me out - she seriously washed and folded ALLLLLLL of my laundry. Guys, I am not lying when I say that there were AT LEAST 15 loads. God bless her soul. Thank You so so so much, Beth, for working your heart out. So, um....when can you come back???

(Jennifer, do you remember praying for God to send me helpers that late night in your living room. Well, there you have it, he sent Beth. Thanks for the prayers, Jennifer, and thanks for the help, Beth.)

Horseback Riding

Black Heart

Wildfire & Scooter

We all hung out at Erika's house last weekend and rode horses. It was a lot of fun, and I think my husband realized how much he missed being around them. He is helping Erika break "Skooter." Thankfully Scooter is a pretty laid back horse and has been mostly cooperative through the process. I think Aaron really loves the excitement and satisfaction of it all.

The boys are scary comfortable around the horses. Both of them have come close to walking under them, and Ben wants to hug their legs. They enjoy watching Daddy ride and especially like to ride themselves. Something tell me we are going to start spending a lot more time over there.

(I forgot my camera, so our friend-Wendy, took all of the pictures.)

Round 2...unsuccessful

See the bruise? Trampoline incident.

Oh, those stinking mosquitoes! We are out of bug spray and could only take a couple of pictures before we were lifted off. Better luck next time.

Growing Fast

I'm really busy and don't have time to write anything profound, but here are a couple of pictures I just took of the boys. The lighting is great outside for the moment, so we are about to head back out (with lots of bug spray) for round 2!
