fat.tired.grumpy.

A week ago we went to the park on a family outing.

I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay home and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Chris thought that was lame since it was a "family outing".

So I sat there and pouted. With my big gut hanging out.

(I swear there is either 2 in there or I grew more organs)

Chris was happy and played with the kids and took some pictures.

I on the other hand was very irritable.

Especially when Chris thought it would be fun to take pictures of my cleavage.

(yay! I have boobs again!)

So I confiscated the camera and took some pictures of my own.

Preston did a really good job flying Grandpa's kites with hardly any wind!

I didn't stay grumpy for very long when it was mentioned that we could go to Rosa's and get a beef stuffed quesadilla and chips and salsa!

MMMM! Pulls me out of a bad mood every time!

the new swing.

While Chris was working on enclosing our chicken coop,

Preston made himself a swing.

Great idea, but not quite the right location.

"Wook mom! A airpwain!"

(those are Preston's shorts he's wearing, silly kid)

We've had our eye on a particular branch in our pine tree for a few years now.

Kid tested.

Mother approved.

Child Labor

Chris and Preston painted our fence out back a couple weeks ago.

I was gone doing massage and Chris said he didn't accomplish much while I was gone....such a kidder.

Chris helped until about half way and was done.

Preston pressed on and finished the job himself!

He was in heaven!

Looks great boys!

Skip to a week after that:

Taylor and Preston started to paint the other side and after about 15 minutes I went and checked on them and they were a mess!

No pictures for that one. I was way too mad.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get Kilz off your body?!

My little Ellie Morgan.

I love this picture.

(October 10, 2007)

She's so stinkin' cute that you don't even notice the trashy unkepted backyard.

Go ahead and blow up the picture to see her in all her cuteness.

Homework with the chickens.

Taylor had a friend over and they found the perfect spot to do their homework.

Personally, I would have chosen the trampoline, but really I'm just so glad that my homework days are over!

Somebody just shoot me.

Preschool Zoo Day!

Ellie loved holding Miss Peggy's hand.

I love the Zoo!

Such a fun time and the weather was perfect! Peyton was in heaven and wore himself out. Ellie loved all the "aminals" and thought they were so cute and now wants a groundhog for her very own.
