I Love WEEKENDS!

Jason and I really had a great time with the kids this weekend. They were in great moods and were just a joy to be around. Here are some pictures from this weekend. Enjoy!

Here is Isaiah dressed as a pirate with some sort of tail from a Halloween costume on his head. Yes, he really is like this quite often. He certainly keeps Jason and I laughing. For example, a couple of weeks ago I caught him wiping his runny nose with is finger and writing on the window. Now the mom in me was absolutely grossed out. Seriously, did I just see my son wiping his boogers on the window. I of course told him how grossed out I was, in which he responded, "I was just practicing making the letter C." The teacher in me was so proud, however, I did make him help me clean the window! Sorry the picture is so dark, I'm still learning to work the camera.

Here is Addi Grace all dressed up just needing a shopping cart. I think she's going to be a bag lady for Halloween! She is so full of personality!

Here is Katelyn just being her cute self. Can you tell she is teething? I love those little chunky cheeks, they're almost as cute as her chunky thighs.

Until next time,

The Ranch!

My dad's ranch is one of my favorite places on earth. In all honesty, I was born a country girl. I believe I'm living in the city temporarily and will one day build my dream home out in the country (preferably on my dad's ranch). I love to just sit on the porch and watch the cattle roam the pasture. My dad currently has about 180 acres and hopes to add more very soon. My dad gave me a cow by the name of Fancy a few years ago. Fancy has had a couple of calves, one just the other day. We named the new calf Reba. Fancy has always had very interesting looking calves. Her new calf has a cute little pink and white nose and a white dot on her forehead. I wanted to take a picture of Reba before leaving the ranch today, however, Fancy hid Reba to protect her from coyotes and other wild animals. We searched for Reba for about 30 minutes before we finally found her. Here is my precious new calf!



The kids also love the ranch. I did not get a lot of pictures of them this weekend. But I love this picture of Isaiah. He loves to watch the cows. I really wonder what he is thinking.

I can't wait until our home is "on the range."

Oh, and Dad, when I finally have that home on the range I'm keeping C-Section. Save her for me!

Until next time,

Melissa

The Girl's Birthdays!

It is hard to believe that Addison and Katelyn are about to turn two and one. We are going to have a Minnie Mouse party for them after we return from Disney World. I created the invitations myself. Take a look!




It just two short months the kids will be 3, 2 and 1!!!
