So to start posting again, or not. I have the desire...yet do I have the time?  I want to start posting about some of my favorite things, antiques, my desire for a farm, animals and my crazy family life. I think I might....

I think I might.

Hello?

anyone read this anymore?

Mr. Fisher

This handsome little man has been in fishing class for the last 3 weeks. He has had a blast! He asked me the other day what an outdoors man is? So I told him it was someone who loved the outdoors. Someone who loves to fish, hunt and camp, and knows a lot about it. He then told me that he wants to be an Outdoors man....I told him, that I think he already is. Oh, he is cute isn't he??

Happy Birthday to my Lily!

This little girl could not have been more excited for her Birthday this year! Every single day in March, when ever any commercial came on for a toy, she would say,"I want that!! For my Birthday!!" which sounded more like birfday! She decided that this year, she wanted a Princess Party? Surprise, surprise! She LOVES princesses (especially Disney Princesses), and I love princesses (especially Disney Princesses), so you see how well we get along :) I am absolutely indulging her love. I know, that this sweet little phase is so short. So if she wants to wear a princess dress all day, so be it.

Here are some things about our little Lily:

1.She loves and is a Princess!

2. She LOVES Shoes. Especially princess shoes.

3. She loves playing outside. She LOVES the swing set and trampoline, and can play outside all day long.

4. She is one of the most grateful little people I know. Always says thank you, and not just thank you, but thank you so so so much!! Usually followed by I LOVE it!

5. Loves her big brother, and he is her her best friend.

6. She is most definitely a Daddy's girl. Which I just love.

7. She doesn't eat hardly anything! Which has been a real challenge for mom!

8. She LOVES chocolate. Like LOVES it. She says mom, I NEED some chocyet.

9.She is still just tiny. She only weighs 27 pounds at 3 years old, and is as tall as her 1 year old cousins.

10. She is a ray of sunshine in our lives. She always brings a smile to our faces, and makes the day so much brighter and happier!

Lily you are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in your life who love you! Your family is so amazing and supportive. I wish so much that you could have met your Great Grandma Matthews. I know she would have loved you unconditionally. I am also so sad at this time, that the Great Grandma that you are named after, who could be in your life has chosen not too.

Know that you are loved by the people who matter the most! You are an amazing blessing in our lives. You have improved every aspect! Every single day I tell my Heavenly Father thank you for letting us have you! My Little Angel Lily!!

S-L-I-M-E....

Sometimes you need a break. On Friday I surprised Austin by giving him a day off from school. We headed off the the craft store to buy all the ingredients for slime. It was a really fun, and a really cool experiment.

And what else do you do with slime BESIDES have it drip like snot from your nose? (well, throw it across the kitchen to watch it splat on the floor was another idea, until mom realized what you were doing :) It took some coaxing to get Lily to touch it, but as you can see she warmed right up to it, and had to copy her super awesome big brother.
