Sunny Days

Finally - we had a few days of sun last week

and took full advantage of some outside time!

Bracken was thrilled to run around in the backyard

(don't let the look on his face fool you...).

 ...still so very serious!

 She even took some time to water the dirt...

Sibling Love

The chase is on!

Waiting to get tackled...

The assault.

The tackle.

(daddy taught him this move)

The tickle.

This is Bracken's victory dance

(we call it the superman).

Playing jumprope with mommy's mouse?

Making up.

Hello.

Pudding Face

Bracken likes pudding...

but does not like spoons.

Good thing he is easy to clean!

Cowgirl

Boy, it has been a long time since I have posted!

March has started out being a bit busier than expected...

our little cowgirl has been battling a stomach virus

for the last few days and sleeping a lot.

Here are some more energetic shots

of her taken a few weeks ago...

we hope she gets back in the saddle very soon!

Work Related Issues

If tiny hands ever snag your mouse... 

...this is where you might find it.

Refrigerator Gallery

Our monthly art show was held again last week...

the artist and her work.

"Reagan in Bed"

"Reagan wearing a necklace"

(very Picasso, isn't it?)

Daddy's work titled

"Spotted cat under a rainbow"

"Blue Butterfly"

(betcha couldn't guess that one, huh?)

"Bullseye"

(the horse from Toy Story)

"The queen with long hair"

Here is a pretty intricate little drawing that

I found one morning in her room.  She often draws

until she falls asleep at night. She said it was a picture of

Daddy (main figure), Baby Reagan (small figure

standing beneath him), Mommy (oddly shaped

figure in the middle), Payton our old cat (far left - awww :)

and the smiling sun and clouds. She also informed me

that Bracken could not be in the drawing

because he was at Grandma's house.

Hearing about her drawings are just as

fun as watching her do them (if not more).



February Flowers

Since we won't be seeing actual flowers

for at least another month we decided

to make our own...out of cupcake liners.

Which actually worked out quite nicely

since we only had four left in the tin...

(not enough for a batch of cupcakes

but enough for a bouquet of flowers!)

She has that crazy

"I have been cooped up in the house

for too long" look in her eye...

Bracken was pretty impressed by our craft.

Looking sweet.
