Random Pictures


These are some random, but cute pictures of my kiddos!

The kids playing together....





They really liked the double seat buggies at SAMS.
Caroline is using the garbage bag as jumping sack. Why do I buy toys?
This is how Graham likes to eat. His mouth is completely full.


Oh, I almost forgot. Do you want to know what my three year old was doing the other day? I turn around and she has two separate easter egg pieces under her shirt making fake boobies. How does she know how to do this?! I remember doing stuff like that as a kid but I was much old before that thought occurred. I have a feeling she is going to be a handful when she is a teenager.

A Park in Damascus???



We discovered a park in Damascus! It is actually just right above the farm. It is pretty small but better than having to drive all the way to Conway to play.










Our Day!


This post shows pictures of us "out and about" today. First I watched Megan's boys while she wen to the hospital to get some blood work done. She just found out that she is preggo again! After we left there we went to pick up Caroline. It was her last day of school! Next year she will attend a 4 year old preschool every day. She is getting so grown up. After picking up Caroline we went grocery shopping and then home!
Here are Graham and Carter Playing together at Megan's.






This is Jack. He really missed Caroline while she was at school.




Here is a picture of Caroline's report card. I don't know if you can really tell what it says but she got all checks with +'s. All perfect grades for my smartie pants!

This is her favorite's sheet.
And, lastly her Diploma!

We are in Wal-Mart getting groceries for the week. Caroline never wanted in the buggy until Graham began to get ride in it. Now they both ride.
This is a random picture in the house. This foot stool thing rotates between sitting in front of the fireplace and sitting in front of the TV stand. Graham likes to pull everything everything off the shelves. He is into everything now! Caroline just never really got into things like that. She was an angel baby. Graham picks up everything and puts it all in his mouth!

A Cold Camping Trip!


Every year for Mother's Day I talk Benjamin into going to the lake. Usually we just grill out or bring sandwiches to the small lake in Conway. We let Caroline play and just hang out and enjoy the day. This year we decided to actually go camping instead. I have never been camping this early in the year. Of course we get a cold front that weekend. It was freezing at night! Luckily I brought a good size heater for the tent.
It was Graham's first camping trip and he did really well. We all had a good time. We camped at Choctaw on Greers Ferry Lake. It was only 25 minutes from the farm. We will be going back as soon as I can talk Benjamin into it again!

The water was too cold to swim in but Caroline had a great time just getting her feet wet. She played in the sand most the time. She told me she had "made" something new.....water dirt. Apparently she was disappointed when I told her that it was actually just mud.

Graham and I played on a big blanket while Caroline was building sand castles.

Caroline is showing me the shell she discovered.
This is Graham sleeping the first night we were there. I had to wait for Benjamin to set up the tent after he got off work on Friday and it was already past Graham's bed time. I put him in the pack and play while we were setting up inside the tent and he fell right to sleep. We were being very noisy and there were lights on everywhere but he was out of it!


Here are the kiddos in their "beds". You can see all the toys that are strewn everywhere! I think we brought the entire house with us.


Caroline thinks the world is ending if she doesn't get to watch a little TV right before bed. We brought my laptop so that she could watch hers shows.
Graham loves being outside. I would bring out the pack and play during the day and put all his toys in it so that he could get down and play.
I think all food tastes good on the lake. We brought an electric skillet and the first night I made taco soup. We also grilled hotdogs and had a huge breakfast in the morning.
I am so glad I brought Graham's high chair seat. I sat it on top of the table and he would eat whenever we did.







Again, Graham is so tired. He conked out in my lap while we were sitting in front of the fire.




Ben is grilling our hot dogs for supper.

This the last morning on the campsite. It was really early. It would get so light in the tent that the kids would wake up a little after 6:00am.
Caroline eating strawberries for breakfast, her favorite.
