Happy Baby 5.9.16

Puppy & Tigger 5.7.16

Joshua LOVES his puppy.  He isn't without his puppy at any time during the day.  I think he's more attached to Puppy than Jeralyn was with Shelly.

Big Kids 5.7.16

Handsome 5.5.16

She loves him 4.30.16

Outside 4.27.16

We were playing on the deck and I snapped these photos.

Joel & Josh comparisons

Sometimes when I look at Joel, I feel like I had the same baby (Josh and even sometimes Jeralyn) again.  They definitely look alike.  You can see for yourself:

Cheesy 4.23.16

Dress-Up 4.18.16

Joshua asked Jeralyn to put this dress on him.  So funny!

Camping with Daddy April 9-10, 2016

Quent took the kids camping; they loved it!  They ended up camping at the Ward Lake campground and it looks like they had a lot of fun.  I enjoyed my own little retreat at home with baby Joel.

Jeralyn with some climbing ropes at home.  I'm not sure why she had these on but it looks like she liked it.   

Quent brought the canoe and they enjoyed paddling around the lake.  

Easter 3.27.16

The kids woke up, looked for their baskets, ate candy for breakfast (pretty much) and then later we had an Easter egg hunt outside (in the misty rain).

Joshua was super excited about the school bus he got since he loves watching the school bus come down our street.

Jeralyn was excited to get a chocolate bunny.

A slug found an Elmo egg.  It's kind of gross.  We don't like slugs.

"Big Mail" 3.25.16

Whenever we stop at the mailboxes in the beginning of our subdivision, she asks, "Will you please get some 'big mail' for me?"  What she's really saying is that she is hoping for a package.  And this day, a package was delivered to us with presents for the kids.

Breakfast 3.24.16

Joshua looks like such a big boy in this photo!

Slime 3.21.16

In Jeralyn's Pre-K curriculum, there was a recipe for making slime.  She had fun making and playing with it.  Joshua liked playing with it too.

Daddy's Helper 3.19.16

Quent was outside cleaning out the gutters and Joshua was "helping".

3.18.16

It's funny since this was Joshua's birthday, but I must not have taken a picture of him ON his birthday!  Oops!  But here's older and younger.

Deer Mountain Fireworks 3.13.16

Each year, for "New Years", there are fireworks launched off of Deer Mountain.  When we left church this morning, we could see the helicopter dropping off the fireworks supply.  Around 7:30 pm, the fireworks boomed and erupted in the sky.  Quent took Jeralyn and Joshua; they loved it!
