Our cute little Emma thought these sticks were the most beautiful things. We tried to give her the flowers but the sticks were so much more beautiful.
Trying to take pictures without the kids smiling all weird, not going to happen.
Another attempt, Blake can't quite get it right today. I don't know what to do.
Emma finally has long enough hair to put in pigtails and she looked adorable.
Shaylee was suppose to be taking a nap one Sunday afternoon and she knew what she had to do to get out of taking one. Her tooth was barely loose and the little stinker twisted and yanked until she pulled that tooth right out. She wrote a note to the tooth fairy asking if she could keep it. Blake got real serious and said if you keep that tooth the tooth fairy won't have enough teeth to put in our babies mouth. Did you know that is what the tooth fairy does to the teeth she collects? Neither did we!!
Emma is always outside talking to her favorite horse Ice Man. She gets really frustrated when he doesn't listen to her. She loves horses and can't get enough. She is Daniel's right hand man when it comes to taking care of the horses.
Daniel got a turkey one morning and we were all pretty proud of him. My children were so obsessed with the turkey that they were each taking dibs on which part of the bird they got to keep. Shaylee got the tail, Emma didn't want any part of that animal, and Blake got the beard. Yes, I guess my kids are pretty morbid but very proud of their Daddy.
Shaylee went turkey hunting this year. Daniel took her out target shooting and she shot the bullseye every time. He knew she was definately ready. She slept in her clothes and laid on top of her covers so she could get up fast when it was time to go. She is usually not a morning person but the day of the hunt she was up and reasy to go. They got in their place behind the blind at about 5:45a.m. and by 6:15 Shaylee was wanting to get out and find the Turkeys herself. Daniel kept telling her to wait 10 more minutes and about the fourth time she asked he finally gave in.
Look at all the Easter eggs we found around our house. Emma kept saying she was so hungry and needed to eat another egg. She would even go up to Daniel feel his arms and say you have big muscles Dad can I have more candy now. She knew how to work it and sneek it. She would have eaten every last bite of candy if we let her.
She found an egg. If it was blue or green she wouldn't pick it up because those were boy colors. Little did she know they all had candy in them. 
Looking and helping one another find the eggs.
Shaylee let her brother have the dinosaur eggs. How nice was that?
Emma picked up the egg than decided to give it to Blake so she could have a pink egg. She is definately a girly girl.
The Easter bunny came to our house and left little treasures for the kiddos. Blake was sick with a fever and congestion but we still managed to have a great time.
Shaylee got a kite and jumprope from the Easter Bunny. She has been jumping ever since.
Blake got a frisby and kite from the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny shops in the Dollar section of course.
Emma got books, glow sticks and a kite. Those dollar kites did not fly so good and the weather conditions were perfect for kite flying. We might have to invest in a little better kites next year. Come on Easter Bunny!!
We decorated Eggs and Blake was the only one that would pose with his eggs for me. He was a little proud of his eggs and wanted to sleep with them. Mom said, "I don't think so!"
We had a fun time at the Zoo with the Brooks family.
Emma was Tara's sidekick. She wouldn't go anywhere without Tara holding her hand. She was just a little frightened by the giraffes.
We got to get right next to the giraffes and they about licked Shaylee's head right off. You can tell she is a little leary of them.
Posing for the picture. They had a great time even though it was a bit chilly.
My children hamming it up before the Brooks showed up. Shaylee always likes to do the Grandpa Pose so we will dedicate this picture to Grandpa Great.
Bed hair, we just had to show her in all her glory.
Blake and Emma playing in the dirt. She loves playing dinosaurs with him.
Shaylee seeing how high she can go on the swings.
Blake making a mess in the dirt. He loves to pull up our grass.
Emma has to always wear her boots or glass slippers. Today just happened to be the boots. We don't care if it matched at least we got shoes on her.
They loved riding with Grandpa on the golf cart. They thought they were really something and by the end of the trip Emma was Grandpa's right hand man. This was their most favorite thing and loved when Grandpa would take them. Thankyou, Grandpa!!!!!!!
Grandma is the one who spoils my kids and they eat it all up. They had a great time at Grandma and Papa's house and hated when we had to go.
We love visiting our family in Arizona. Aunt Wendy and Grandma spoil my children and make them look cute in their outfits that aren't from Walmart.
Shaylee enjoying her cousin Landon. They sure love spending time with their cousins. We hardly ever see the kids because they are to busy getting in as much play time as they can.
Tyler, Blake, and Emma in the toy room at Grandma's and Papa's. They had a great time and Tyler and Blake played really well together.
Irrigation!!!! The highlight of the trip for my children. They absolutely loved playing in the irrigation and thought it was just a big swimming pool. Jana came over with her son Grayson and it was a lot of fun spending some time with her.
Blake is so good with his sister Emma. She can't wait for him to get home from Preschool. He will play with her and read her books and she treasures every minute. She just doesn't like to have to share his attention with Shaylee. She enjoys the time she has alone with him.
What can I say, a Dentist really does enjoy brushing his teeth. It relaxes him, he might just fall asleep.
Our little princess. She loves to dress up, with crown, shoes and the dress. When we want her to put on real clothes Shaylee has to tell her she looks like Cinderella and her shoes are glass slippers. She will then cooperate everytime.
Shaylee and Emma just posing for a picture from Blake the photographer in training. Who is training him, the one the only Miss Shaylee.
Blake working on his poses. You might see him in commercials or magazines some day.
Emma just cheesing it up for Shaylee. She always sneeks off with my camera and then when I download pictures this is what I find.
Nice close-up of our cute not so little boy.
Shaylee had Dr. Suess day at school so we had to dress up like Cindy Lou-who. Her and her cousin Mackenzie decided to match. They were calling eachother that morning to make sure the other one was going to do it.
Emma's new dress. Shaylee and Emma got matching dresses. Pictures to come. Yes, we now shop in the big girls for Emma's dresses. She is wearing Shaylee's handmedowns(sp) from the fall. I think she might Pass our Little Miss Shaylee in size sooner than later.
Blake showing off how he plays Dinosaurs. He is still quite into those things and will play for hours.
