Weekend Visiting

A couple weekends ago a friend of ours got married. It was in the middle of the afternoon so the little boys napped the whole trip up...

...while Ike and I philosophized (is that a word?) over the concept of forgiveness, which I had been reading about in a magazine.

I had big plans to get lots of pictures of my handsome men all dressed up but I guess I forgot to do it because the ones you see above were the only ones on the camera. :)

We skipped out on the wedding reception so that we could visit some nearby friends.

Sadly this was the only picture of our time with them. But I was glad to be able to catch little C's smile!

Helping Friends

Over New Year's Weekend we went and helped some friends work on their house. But I don't want you to get the wrong picture...we helped with some tearing out. :) They even let me for old times sake use a crow bar to take out some molding around the door.

While we nursed our babies Kara entertained us by reading Thomas and Friends to us.

We bundled up since there was only a kerosene heater

I just realized I don't have any pictures of Caleb or JuneBug. I guess they were too busy playing.

JuneBug

After my Dad posted his new look I thought I would give JuneBug a little facial hair...

Billy Boy

JuneBug singing Billy Boy. I can't remember exactly how it goes so JuneBug gets a different version every time. :)

Snow!

 our "sled"

JuneBug was a little scared sitting up to ride but enjoyed it much better laying down. Ike was even nice enough to pull me down the rode a bit.

PS Ike got to make THE call to work again today! Yippee!

Leftover Reddi-Wip

JuneBug demonstrates what to do with the little bit of Reddi-Wip left in the can. This was his first year at attempting it.

Grandma Roxy also brought the boys down a couple of items. Here Ike and Junebug play with Thomas the Tank Engine.

Reading It's Great to be an Engine. It plays music!

Getting Peanut to smile

Here I'm sure Junebug was smiling. Actually probably more like screaming.

Our first family picture since Peanut was born. Can you believe we hadn't taken one yet?

Thanksgiving~ Thursday

A note on the pictures. Currently, we don't have a way to turn the pictures so that you don't have to crank your neck around to see them. We hope to have this fixed soon, but computers can be very mischievous. Also, we don't have a lot due to the fact that our memory card was full for half of the weekend with no way of emptying it. And as is always the case you can check Kate's blog or SAM's blog for more other pictures (everyone had camera issues this weekend). That is when they post.

Everyone came rolling in for Thanksgiving late on Wednesday night. Thursday morning Junebug opened up some surprises and Peanut made his grand entrance for three of the visistors. 

Aunt Kate and Uncle Stephen bought JuneBug some tractors.

Making mashed potatoes- a favorite of ours

Sweet potato casserole with marshmallows- another favorite

Someone can't wait!

The weekend had just begun and we were already getting tired

Great-Grandparents Visit

A couple of weeks after Peanut* was born Grandpa and Grandma Gray came to see him (and the rest of us too)

JuneBug kept Grandpa very, very busy.
