Playing Outside:

The kids love playing in the backyard!  They wake up and want to get their swimsuits on to go swim or jump on the tramp with the sprinkler under it.  They practically live outside lately, and it is so nice.  Jack and Kenzie love the water, being outside and playing with Cache out there. 

Cache really enjoys it outside too.  He like to go under the tramp and try and stop the sprinkler from spraying.  He has his own little pool, but decided he was too good for that and moved on to the bigger better waters with Jack and Kenzie.  He gets a little too crazy though, and we have to keep an extra close eye on that kiddo.

Planting Flowers:

The kids and I went to the store a few days ago, they wanted to plant their own flowers this year.  They picked a bucket, the types of flowers they wanted and so we waited for a nice afternoon and then went to work.

Turned out pretty good if you ask me. 

Kenzie didn't so much like the dirt part, but did like putting her flowers in her pot.

Cache just crawled around while we planted, and probably ate some dirt.

I worked on my own pot and it turned out like this:

I just love planting flowers each spring!

The kids have been wanting a trampoline for a while now.  Luke and I told them if they could save up some money to help buy one, we would split the cost with them.  So, they started counting their pennies (and money in their piggy banks), and they actually had quite a bit between the both of them, like $40!  Then Jack had some money left from  his birthday, and then it was Easter...(my kids have like 4 egg hunts!).  So between all of that they came up with about $100.  Which we thought was pretty dang good.  So off we went to pick one up.  They were so excited!  They "helped" Luke put it together, and then enjoyed the fruit of their labors:) 

They have spent many hours out there, and their favorite thing to do is put the sprinkler under it:)

It Was Nice Today

So We Took Full Advantage!

Jack and Kenzie played some ball

 Kenzie sat and watched Jack play more ball (and pose for a picture)

and well, Cache....

This is where he watched from.  He didn't like the grass and wouldn't crawl on the concrete, so he liked sitting here and watching. 

With Harley drooling over the top of him and whining...because if you know Harley she is IN LOVE with balls!  And she can't be out when Jack plays ball or we wouldn't have any balls left by the end of the day.

A New Trick and A Pony Ride

Cache has a New Trick

And he thinks he's pretty sweet

Look at me Mom!

 

Kenzie found a pony.....His name is Jack

This is Kenzie brushing her pony after the ride....he was such a good pony!

Similarities?

What do all these pics have in common?

These are my beautiful kiddos all at 9 months.

Do you see any similarities?

I think so.......

but who am I to judge?

Any guess on the Cache Mans stats?

All I can say is he's going to be one big Boy!!!

He is measuring at 9 months what Jack measured at 1 year!!!!

And we thought Jack was big!

But hey, who's comparing, right?

At 9 months Cache is crawling (army crawling), sitting himself up, self feeds crackers etc, will finally hold his own bottle (sometimes), babbles a lot, is curious, sleeps like a champ, and is just one cute, happy boy!

Picture Overload!!!

So, I realize I have been quite the slacker in blogging lately, so this is going to be one Massive Overload of Pictures!  I'm warning you now!  But I did want to put these pics up.  You know, to document our most exciting lives that we live out here!  We are tired of Winter and can't wait for Spring!!!

Jack got a set of army men with his Valentine Money (thanks Grandma Bev!), and this is what happens on a regular basis now.  I try to get them to play on the floor, but then Cache interrupts the play and it can get a little hairy if you know what I mean.  So of course it gets moved to the breakfast table.

With Cache crawling, he is now into all sorts of fun!

 Almost got it.....

 Almost there.....

Got it, and a lick from Harley:)

The Joys of a baby on the move....I wish I'd gotten a picture of him in the dog water bowl the other day.

That was quite a treat...and a soaking wet baby that was having too much fun!

One day we got a little snow that blew through...the kids were hoping for more.

Catching snow flakes in their mouths.

 Just a cute pic

Several Times through out the day my kids will ask to turn the music on. 

And this is what we get:

 One Big Crazy Dance Party!!!

We also had Valentines Day

The Kid's baskets

 Cache loves to play kitchen!  He likes to get out all the food and stuff and make a big ol' mess

Last But Not least.....our Dog

 How we love her!!!

And We will end this overload with Some Cute Pics of the Cache Man from after church today

 And apparently when I say Cheese, this is what Cache gives the camera.....

 My he is learning early!

Have a Great Week Folks!

Sunny Day and Bikes

January 26, 2011

It was Super nice out, so we took advantage!
(this is one plus to living in Mt Home....we don't get the inversion!)

Kenzie so excited to ride her bike outside

But she had to stop to make a quick........

 call to her Grandma.  She wanted to let her know she was coming over on Friday.

The Cache Man loved watching Jack and Kenzie

 Jack riding his bike....he does have a big bike, but prefers this one

Me and Cache.....chilllin'

Jack contemplating life.....or what not. 

We hope this weather has come to stay, we are tired of being cooped up inside!!!

Around Here.....

So, I know I've been slacking on my posts, and then I do a massive couple of posts, sorry.  I will try and be better.  But, hey at least I am getting them posted:)   We haven't been up to much, just living life.  Here are a few pics from the past couple of weeks.  (and i know there are none of jack, he doesn't let me take his picture anymore...he runs and hides, or smiles like a dork!)

The Cache Man finally got a highchair!

 He thinks he's super cool!

 He tried drinking out of a sippy, he did pretty good.

He also has gotten to try some finger foods, which he thinks are okay.

What a Cutie!!!

On Saturday Jan 8th, we celebrated Kari and Kris' B-days! 

 Happy 30th Kari!!!  She turned 30 on Jan 9th.

 Happy 21st Kris!  His B-day was the 7th

Kris always seems to get some interesting gifts......

This one Jeff particularly loved....!!!!

 A Book all about farts!  It even made noises, the kids were dying they thought it was so funny!

Thanks to Katie and Kody for that entertainment:)

Kenzie has been quite busy lately.......

 I think she changes her dress up outfit about 50 times every day!  She thinks she is a princess for sure!

She also started Sunbeams at church!

What!?  I know, I can't believe she is already in Primary!

Ready for her first day in Primary.  She didn't like sharing time, she said it was boring.  But she liked class because they played games and with play-doh.  She gets better each week, she doesn't even take her blanket to church anymore!!!  That is huge!
