It's beginning to look a lot like ?????

SPRING??? I hope my garden does okay. I guess it's not too late to replant.

Sharing is....

GROSS!

If this would have been my first I would grabbed her rather than my camera. Sorry for being 4th in the birth order Carly.

"Tu Tu" cute

Houston we have a problem!

Have you ever heard that Pyrex was invented by NASA? Well, it wasn't. It was invented by Eugene Cornelius Sullivan, while working as a chemist at Corning Glass on a project to reduce the breakage of railroad lantern globes and signal lenses from thermal shock. BUT NASA later picked up on it and used it as windows for the shuttle. Well with all of that said this mission would have fallen in the category of disastrous. I was standing in the kitchen and heard a loud pop and then a crash from my oven! That can never be good! It was a good thing that it was just my dinner and that pizza was just a phone call away. But that proved to be disastrous to my diet! I guess I just didn't come out a winner in this situation.

I could not think of a better way to spend the first day of spring break than a picnic at the park with my kiddos. Here are a few shots. ENJOY!

How does your garden grow???

Today made it official..Spring is here. My garden is planted. If you didn't know. I love to garden. Last year was my first year with a real garden and I learned a few things. I hope that this years garden will be better than last year. Here is a before picture



And here is after everything was planted.

I know that it is not much change. But just wait. I love to see those little plants come up. Today we planted Basil, Chives, rhubarb, corn, peas, three types of beans, potatoes, carrots, onions, zuchini, and green peppers. I still have to buy some tomato plants and jalepenos.

The kids played in the backyard, and I set Carly in the grass while I worked and she had an obvious aversion to it. She did not move! I think she sat for at least 15 minutes. She did not cry, but she would not get up and walk either. She just sat and "talked" to the neighbor doggies. Silly girl.

Happy Spring!

The CHRISTIANS CREW... NOT Christian SCREW

I never saw that one coming, but thanks to everyone who replied, I am now kind of thinking I should change the site address. Adam says that is why you should always read and re-read. I was just so proud of myself for getting this done! You all need to get your minds out of the gutter. (But you can still be my friends) I have officially decided NOT to change the site name. You won't forget it then!
Good night!

I did it!

I made a blog! A little pressure from friends and I did it. I am trying to figure it all out so it may be awhile before it looks pretty, but in good time my friends. I plan on posting recipes, good deals, family happenings, fun times, and my creations. Here is a start, a look into our lives currently.

I'll start with Tyler he is now 8. He is in 2nd grade. He is a smart and wonderful little guy. He is a great big brother. He loves sports. In fact he just finished basketball and did really well. Here is a video of his first basket. Dad coached.

We'll see if I can do this if not I may need to take a lesson. Never mind, I cannot do it. I will have to get Adam involved in this venture.

Here is a picture of Tyler instead.

On to Leah, she is my little helper girl, although she is not ALWAYS enthusuastic about helping, she does it. She loves being a big sister, and loves her American Girl doll, Barbies, friends, gymnastics, and clothes. Although most of the time she is a girly girl, she can be found often in jeans and tees playing with the boys. She is in kindergarten and is getting the hang of reading. She is a sweet as she is sour. But we Love her and we are keeping her.

Turner...NuNer... What else can I say about him... HE is a HAM! This kid keeps us laughing, and the thing is that he does not try to be funny. He just says the FUNNIEST things. Hopefully I can use this as a way to write some of those things down so we can remember them. BUT don't laugh at Turner because he insists that he is NOT funny. He has the cutest dark brown eyes and everyday he is a new character, Batman is his current fav. He goes to Pre-school two days a week with Miss Mikki and Miss Courtney. He adores both of them. He loves stories and will laugh at all of them it is fun to see him get so into books.

Carly is the baby. She just turned ONE and I cannot believe it. She is a sweet and loving little thing. We have had quite the run with her. She was born with Erbs Palsy and we went through physical therapy and the issue has been resolved, no more symptoms and she now has full use of her right arm. The doctors thought for awhile that she may even have a muscle disease because she was very flimsy, and had low muscle tone, BUT she as proved them wrong. She is now walking and getting around everywhere all before 13 months. GOOD GIRL! She sure showed them! Her favorite things right now are mandarine oranges, bananas and "doggies" -also her favorite word! Here is a picture of our precious little girl.

Speaking of doggies. We have one of those too. We love her. Mer name is Macy and we often get asked what kind of dog she is. She is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is EXCELLENT with the kids and puts up with Carly. She is a great addition to our family.

I know that thesse are not the greatest pictures, I was working on our laptop and we save our pictures to and external drive on the basement. It appears that this blogging thing may have to take place when everyone is in bed. That is all for now. I will work on my blog appearance, and learing how to add buttons and cool stuff. For now, I am done. We will see where this takes me and I hope to actually get people to read this thing!
