Easter additions to the family


Well Snickers (our momma cat) had 5 babies! She had 2 on Friday and then get this... the other 3 came yesterday afternoon (Easter)! You will only see 4 here in the photo as one of them didn't make it- but these four are really cute. I'm not a big cat person, but we do keep a couple outside (no indoor pets) to keep the snakes and such away. It actually does help because I've seen a couple snakes the cats have had for dinner- Ewww!!

Easter Day 2008

Easter morning- girls are excited & not quite awake :)
In their dresses before church.
Mommy with her angels :) (ps. mom I found the dress)
The annual home egg hunt is about to begin-check out Katelynn's face!
I think my oldest thought it was Florida and 110 degrees out-
Katelynn made a perfect dyed egg..

Spring...ERRR.."Shoe" Cleaning!

I decided yesterday to start a little spring cleaning of my playroom and our shoes. I knew it would be a task to go through our shoes because well I just can't remember the last time it was done... so I enlisted the help of my middle child (Samantha) and she gladly said "Give me a challenge" :) Little did she know...

It started out pretty simple- only a few pair in this closet...



Then to the hanging shoe rack- it really did have a purpose....
then she looked at the "shoe box (aka..toy box-works great)" & said "this can't be that many"....
The sorting begins.... (sorry this one is blurry)
Oh my... Samantha come back!!! Looks like she's trying to crawl away..
Oh we forgot the laundry room.....
Well the final count.... 103 pair!!!!! in the play room only!!!!!!!!!!!! That doesn't count the laundry room, the closet photo and I just forgot I didn't check the girls bedroom closets- I know there are probably a total of about 15 more in those 2 closets!! YIKES! Shoes anyone??? :0)
HAPPY SPRING CLEANING!!

Fun in the Sun




Snickers (the one on the right) is VERY pregnant right now. She should have them any time- the cat beside her is her son from the previous litter.





Katelynn wants to be like big sister and play ball next year.
Just wanted to share some photos taken yesterday in the beautiful weather (It was about 75 and sunny!!). Everyone wanted to be outside and that's just what we did - enjoying some family time- pets included :)
