Calling CPS?

About a month ago we had to move Journey into her own bed. You see, as soon as we potty trained her, she came up with a ploy to try to get out of bed at night. When we would put her down she would start yelling to us, "Mom, (or Dad) I need to poop!" When this did not work she decided that she would get naked and yell to us. This still did not work so she decided that she needed to do more. At this point, she started yelling at us, getting naked, and climbing out of bed and bringing her clothes to us letting us know she needed to poop! Just for the record she did not need to go. We decided that this was pretty unsafe and converted her crib to a bed. She is actually staying in it better, but she rolled out the other night which left the huge bruised goose egg on her noggin. The next night she decided she would put herself in the bathtub and slipped and hit her eye on the tile on the side of the tub. I swear we do not beat her, she takes care of that all by herself!

Puddle Jumpers

We have FINALLY been getting some much needed rain, and who can resist jumping in the puddles! However, with these storms, I will admit that I knew we were moving into Hurricane terriory coming to Texas. I had no idea we would also be getting so many Tornado warnings, with some of them touching down fairly close to us. SCARY!

Random Shots

A little group shot taken Sunday afternoon at the park.

They love to pile into the sleeping bag and hop around. They really don't like Journey in there. She is too short and makes them fall or stands there crying because she can't get it quite right.

Missing tooth

No, she is not missing any teeth, she just needed a picture.

We had the blog open the other day and McKade looked at this picture and said, "McKinna and Bodin." I laughed and said that is you not McKinna. I looked again and realized that with just this portion of his face showing he does look a bit like McKinna, with the darker skin, and the droopy eyes of their dad. I never noticed this before.

Bodin really wanted me to put this picture up so Landon could see his missing tooth. Of course, McKade needed his picture too, and without fail Journey HAD to have one.

Putt-Putt

I have been wanting to take the kids miniature golfing FOREVER! We finally went over Christmas break. The weather was perfect so off we went.

I grabbed an extra golf ball for Journey. She went around and put it in every hole she could find.

McKinna had some trouble with the stance you should take to hit the ball. Very awkward for her.

Bodin and Mckade had a great time.

Ben really wanted to "teach" McKade. He had plans of his own and of course needed NO HELP.

Davy Crockett

Bodin had a school assignment to choose a historical figure and do an oral report in character. We will be going to San Antonio soon, so it seemed appropriate to choose Davy Crockett. He got his report all ready and learned some interesting facts, like he ran away from home as a child because he went to school and got picked on by a bully. He decided to skip school and not go back. When his dad found out he was mad, he had traded to be able to send him to school. To avoid the beating that Davy would get, he ran away from home. Of course, he is known as a frontiersman, but he is also know for the Battle of the Alamo.
