Donuts, Anyone?

Chaye loves donuts! She is the donut queen and could eat them all day, for every meal, if we'd let her. We always know when she's snuck into the box, too, because the evidence is all over her face.

Cade - 6 Months Old

Cade is growing up too fast! We were looking at his newborn pictures posted on here and he doesn't even look like the same baby! Actually he's not even a baby anymore... he's turning into a kid. He's developing so many different parts of his personality right now and is such a fun little guy!

Sweet & Sour, Anyone?



I think chicks are, by far, the fastest-growing pets! I took off the cover to their crate the other day, just to check in on them, and they were practically flying. We've only had them three weeks. This is Ryan's favorite, "Chicken Hawk"---her eggs will be speckled like her. I just bought $7.00 worth of eggs again this morning..... can't wait until they're FREE and right there in my backyard!!!

E.T.

I put Cade in his crib to see if he might take a nap. I turned on the toy thing with lights and music and he was cooing and talking to himself and just as content as can be. I went to the kitchen to do some dishes, and a few minutes later Chaye announced, "Don't worry, I put Cade down for a nap."

I said, "Oh, that's a nice big-sister thing to do."

And then I realized that "the voice" in my head was speaking very slowly and warped, (like in the old days when we'd play a cassette tape and the tape player ate the tape while it was playing... remember that sound?) So, "the voice" is saying, "I.... don't.... think.... that's.... a.... good.... idea...." And finally my brain kicked in and I realized I'd better go check on Cade and see what Chaye did to him.

This is how I found him:
Kind of reminds me of that scene in the movie "E.T."

April Fool's Day

Memory: When I was a kid, my step-father would go all-out for April Fool's Day. He'd play tricks on all of us and get the biggest kick out of it. We had the fake dog poop, the fly in the ice cube, the fake vomit on the carpet, the fake spider, etc., you name it, he fooled us with it. The best was the fake mouse behind the shampoo bottle in the shower. That brought some good screams!

Happy April 1st to all you Fools out there!
