Momma's tough guy...

Matthew got tattooed today! He was very excited and then almost burst when he realized they glow in the dark. I couldn't get any photos on the dark but here are some in the light.



Tater boy saga continues

Oh how he loves mashed taters. He loves them so much he has to have a full bath every time he eats them. Enjoy!

He is getting so big!

This weekend we moved Gabriel into a big boy chair! He looks so tiny to me in this giant chair but he's forward facing now and much more comfortable with room to move his little legs. You can see he looks unhappy in the last photo but its only because we didn't have a pacifier with us and he was really tired!



Daddy installed it right in the store parking lot.

She did it!!!

Today was Devi's very first show in horse riding. She did FANTASTIC!!! We are so very proud of her. She won a sixth place ribbon in her walk/trot calss. Way to go Devi. I only got one video and its too big to post here but I've got some great photos.






Katlyn has moved on...



Katlyn is no longer considered a novice rider and today had her first show in level one. It was a walk/trot/canter class and she performed twice. In her first class she did fantastic and so did the horse. Katlyn and Jamaica Rain won yet another first place ribbon. In her second class Jamaica got a little silly and they took a fifth place ribbon. We are VERY proud!

My rock and roll boy

Gabriel recently learned to be a head banger. Observe his technique and notice his reaction after the second time he does it.

Pacifier boy...

Matthew's idea of entertaining his brother.

My sick baby

Gabriel has recently been through the ringer. Every time he starts cutting teeth he gets a high fever and eventually an ear infection. During his recent ear infection I discovered that he LOVES to sit at my desk with me. Well not so much AT my desk as much as ON my desk. There are so many fun things to play with. Of particular interest to him is the cordless phone. He knows EXACTLY which button to push to make the ringer come on and he pushes it every time. He also really likes a little glass box that my mother in law Cecilia gave me on her last visit. He loves to clang the bottom and lid together. It hasn't broken yet but I'm afraid it will so I don't let him do that anymore. Here are some photos of my sickie playing on my desk.





Playing in a box

So daddy got a new office chair. It got shipped here by the big brown truck in a big brown box. Imagine the joy on the faces of my children when he removed it from the box and left that box in the living room! They played with that box for hours each day. I loved watching my three youngest play so nicely together. My only complaint is the styrofoam block that was glued to the inside of the box. I'm STILL cleaning it up from all the nooks and crannies in the living room. Here are some photos of Lori, Matthew and Gabe playing in the cheapest and best toy every made...





Lori found a way to make Gabriel laugh
