We got...

WORMS

Bruce went fishing the other day
He took the older three
they didn't have much luck
Morgan caught an 18" cutthroat
but the proclamation said that it was too big
and they had to release it
they only caught one other fish
so they cut the trip short

on the brighter side of things

they got to bring home all the worms!

Owen and Reagan have been loving them

everyday they ask, "Can I play with the worms?"

it is terribly gross

but it does keep them entertained

I was babysitting my nephew

He really wanted to hold a worm

he was just too scared

one of these days he will be brave enough

Dory and Reagan

We love Dory

she has been the best dog ever

she rarely barks

she has never had an accident

she listens to us

and she lets the kids climb all over her!

The other day Reagan was being so silly

so I took a few shots of them together

Reagan really loves Dory

we really don't know what we did

without this sweet dog

Muscle shirt

While we were pulling weeds

I was tucking my shirt sleeves up

in attempts to blend in my farmers tan

Owen was trying to do the same

but it just wasn't working

the sleeves wouldn't stay up

I said, "Lets go inside and get you a muscle shirt"

and Owen said, "Yea, cause this shirt isn't very strong."

After we changed his shirt

he had to pose for a few pictures

Reagan wanted me to take a picture of her muscles too

but she is still being a stinker

and won't look at my camera very well

Getting the garden ready

I wish that I had taken a before picture

by the time I did most of the garden was weeded

just know it was covered in grass, morning glory and thistle

Owen and Reagan loved 'helping' me

I showed them how to pull the weed by the root

but they preferred the 'chop' method

After we got it all weeded

I used our mini tiller to till all the ground under

then I covered the entire garden with black plastic

with hope of suffocating the weeds

Bathing Beauties

Well no visit is complete

without a bath shared between cousins

Reagan and Elsie are probably
two of the happiest two year old there are
sure they have their moments
but they are really just happy giggly girls

They had so much fun

splishing and splashing

Thank you Matthews
for letting us come and stay
we should make this our 'Spring break' tradition!!

Reagan and Elsie

Reagan and Elsie were so cute together

I love that Reagan gets along with everyone

she may be a little shy at first

but once she warms up

she won't stop giggling!

At the park there was this dinosaur rocker

it was big enough that Reagan and Elsie could sit side by side

they were so cute

I love how Elsie would lean over

almost like she was telling Reagan a juicy secret!

Sliiiide

This was one of slides that Reagan went down

the steps up to the slide were round

and not connected

at first I was reluctent to let Reagan do it

but she climbed them like a pro!

After all the hard work

she finally got to the top

then a boy pushed her down!

She was heartbroken

she didn't want to go on it again
