sunday hike.

sorry grandpas & grandmas for the lack of blogging, i promise it was very unintentional break.   i have lots of pictures of your grand kids to share but i'll start with yesterdays hike.   (the last time we did this little loop was with grandma gwen, oh how i miss those little baby boys!!)

 always has her baby.

 oh gage :)

 gage stops at every flower & picks it for me.  love him!

 he can't say his "f's", they are "s's" so.... he yells, "look mama, slower seilds."

 we spotted some turkey...

 ever since we got lots of rain a few weeks ago, the bugs have been bad.   by the end of the hike, we were bit up.  poor lane, bugs love him and he was over it all (obviously, he didn't take a nap).

friday.

i laughed about where lane had left his transformer while he was away at school.  

these two love each other like none-other.   i'm actually so so thankful gage isn't going to school at all this year so they can develop their own special bond.   it has been so sweet to watch  :)

 everyday school i let the kids watch a tv show while i get lunch ready.   lane always chooses, "tree fu tom" or "paw patrol."   (here, tree fu tom, and doing the hand gestures with him.)

 the boys yelled for me to come to their restaurant.   busy busy!!  making "wasabi broccoli."  sounds uhm, interesting!

 never before with any of the kids have we had to use those highchair straps.   and then logan came around.   this is her...and all of her food (which she didn't eat any of) are on the floor.   child, seriously!

thursday.

failed last night.  i was done for and in bed as soon as the kids were in bed.  blogging went out the window...

yesterday i told the kids to go play in the crazy rain we have been getting.   they looked at me like i had lost my mind.  they had so much fun, were out there for an hour or more.   (i have no idea why gage's shorts are off?!)

 sister was a bit upset that i wouldn't let her join in.  sorry sweetheart.  (like my pj's i the refelction.  oops, i'm caught!)

 when mama doesn't feel good, everyone gets "sick food"  rice with milk & cinnamon.  

 and then gage spills is ENTIRE bowl on the floor.  at this point i'm sure i was begging for vance to get home from work.   sigh.  thankful today (friday) is a new day!
