Grant is 6 months old!

What a handsome and sweet baby boy! Just turned 6 months old and is cuter than ever. Time is flying by, so I'm trying to cherish these days. He's such a blessing!

The Girls

Allison was sent to a "time out" on the stairs, and was so tired, fell asleep right there! Sadie LOVES to pick flowers, so recently had the opportunity to clean out Grandpa and Grandma's yard of dandelions, and got a whole bunch, for sure.


A few days ago, Allison asked where Dad was. I told her "At work". She said, "Oh, he's planting seeds for the Cowboys?" Interesting perception. Sadie is prepping for her preschool graduation ceremony where they're doing a skit. The skit is about a farmer who plants some wheat seeds-- one doesn't survive the heat of the sun, another is eaten by a bird, and yet another is choked by weeds. Each child has a part in the play drawn out of a hat, and guess what Sadie plays? She's the WEED. So ironic for the daughter of a Wilbur Ellis employee. :)

Easter in Lynden

We had so much fun in Lynden visiting family for Easter! The girls had fun wearing the fancy dresses Grandma Sue got for them and they loved the easter egg hunts with their cousins Austin, Travis and Holly!

Easter Eggs

Decorating eggs... and Allison dropped and cracked hers, obviously pretty bummed!

New swing set!

Well, in between raindrops and YES, SNOWFLAKES this morning (no, it's not an April Fools joke... we really had snow) Dwayne finished, with help from the girls, the swing set! Before it got too yucky outside they had a chance to try it out for a few minutes.

Y'all are invited to come and play with us!

Day to Day events

I know... my day to day events are so thrilling! My excitement of the week is that Grant is starting solid foods. Little stinker. I told him he couldn't grow up, and he's just not listening.

Sadie did a great picture today of her and Dwayne next to a John Deere tractor. She's such a sweet 5 year old!

Looking at bugs, etc. with magnifying glasses at the Family Fair recently 

Grant loves his big sisters (except when they put him in a doll bed)

Grant LOVES the Johnny Jump Up in the doorway. All grins while he's in there.

Waaah!!! Sadie thinks it's funny... Allison thinks... well, her face says it all. 

Baby brother on the doll bed... check out his bottom lip. He's about to erupt! 

Dwayne was reading our bible study "Know Fear" to Grant... apparently he was enjoying it! 

Like I said... this was while watching a show right at dinner time... slept through dinner. 

Allison thinks she's too old for regular naps, but obviously can't quite make it through every day without one!

Sadie holding an (EEEK) stick bug!!!

We're Up and Running!

Well, finally getting a blog set up so that y'all can "visit" us when you want. I mainly will be posting photos, but could list some fun quotes from the kids when I can too. We'd love to hear from you, too! Love from Angela, Dwayne, Sadie, Allison and Grant
