There's a New Horse in Town

We have a new horse down at the farm near my moms house. Isn't he beautiful?



Little flirt!




Thanks for the thumb shot mom. :)



Nana and the Boyz! Can you tell which of my kids is the attention getter?





I had to put this video up. Why?... because "poop is funny" as Jordan says. I must reiterate that the horse that rubs his nose on Jordan is NOT the one who stuck his nose in it. There are 2 of them, they are beautiful, but for some reason they love to "analyze" each others waste. Ha...my kids make me laugh.!

More Bike news

So, we also broke out Jordan's new bike. Well, it isn't new (it's from my friend Kathy) but it's new to him. It has a few scratches and lots of dings but he didn't care. He LOVES it, even when Kasey got a new bike. He feels like such a big boy (even though he has training wheels) and loves to go fast. We took them to the park last weekend and they had fun. The above picture is Jordan getting on it for the first time after Daddy put on the training wheels.



Here are the boys riding/walking and talking. I love that they love playing together. The first thing they do when they wake up, is ask for the other.


Jordan the spider monkey on the monkey bars.


Kasey on the jungle net.




And after just a couple of rides....he's a pro., and Mommy is out of breath!!

Easter Festivities

I love Easter when kids are young. It's so precious to see their eyes light up!! Easter is like Christmas for me. I can't sleep the night before because I'm just too excited. I am still like this even as a mother with kids only this time it's mixed in with a little stress that they'll make it to the living room before I do and I'll miss all the excitement. So, I set my alarm early and read my book until they awoke, with the camera in hand. The Easter bunny always left a trail of jellybeans from my bedroom to my Easter basket when I was a kid and the tradition lives on. Here is Jordan about to attack his trail. What's funny is they try to shove them all in their mouths as they follow it.


Kasey got a new bike for Easter. Now, I usually don't buy big things like this for Easter but Kasey has wanted a bike for awhile now. I can't get him one for Christmas because it would be too cold to ride it outside and then he would be upset. His birthday is just a week and 1/2 after Christmas so again...no bike in January. So, we saved it for Easter since we have been playing outside lately. He picked this one out at the store and of course it is a Hot Wheels one. I'm just loving his cute little 'I'm a big boy' smile in this picture.


Here are the little chitlins all dressed up for church in their new Easter outfits. I saw so many adorable dresses at the store and really had to resist the temptation... girls clothes are usually so much cuter. But I thought these outfits were pretty cute. Such handsome boys AND they smiled for it...halleluiah.




This is Kasey riding his bike. At the store he just couldn't get the peddling right so I was worried; however, he picked it up quite quickly before we left for church. He rode it up and down the hallway ALL day until company came and then couldn't wait until he was alone again so he could ride it. (ignore the mess) Up and down, and around the island. I almost had to wipe a tear as my little baby boy rode his first bike. How fast they grow and how sweet is their nature when they accomplish something. I love my boys!! Hope you all had a great Easter. I am fortunate enough to have both my parents still living and all my siblings here with me except for 2. I wish The Gooch side of the family could of been there with us. We missed you. Happy Easter !!!

Don't Try This at Home!

The kids have spring fever and have been spending a lot of time outside even though it freezes mommy out (yes I'm a wimp). They have started this new thing where they speed down the driveway at rapid speed and stop/turn right before they either go into the street or hit this HUGE rock we have at the bottom. If you've seen my driveway you know it's quite steep. Jordan will turn last minute and land right into a huge hole we also have at the side of the lawn. It's filled with leaves so it's a nice soft landing.

It's funny to watch but also very scary for mommy who knows that one of these times, the HUGE rock will be hit face on at full force. BUT, the boys have a blast so mommy will have to restrain her motherly instincts to tie pillows to the full length of their body "just in case" and watch.
