Baby Pictures!

They were a week old in these pictures...so cute and adorable.

They are eating so much now and we still aren't sure which ones are boys and girls. We have up until 4 weeks of age to figure it out. We've decided to keep all the girls and we are giving the boys to great homes for other families to enjoy as much as we do. We'll be taking applications, I'm so just kidding....I don't like thinking out getting rid of them, I love them all so much and they are so funny to watch. When they are alone in the living room for awhile and we walk back in, they will start to whistle with excitement...probably just to get fed but it's the cutest thing ever and they go bouncing all over the cage. Babies, you just gotta love 'em.

Beautiful and Cute

Say that 5 times real fast everyday! I wanted to give "props" to my dear friend, April, I saw this on her blog and it's just so powerful and so true. I wanted to share it with all my friends. As an added bonus today, a really cute picute of our new babies, we love them.

They are already starting to eat and so much fun to watch, the top baby we named "Scar" from Lion King. It's brown streak through it's eye looked like Simba's uncle's scar. Too cute, and we haven't named the bottom one yet...b ut we've got names for a couple, meme, who looks just like Cookie. Neo, short for Neopolitian Ice cream face, has a perfect black strip, white strip and then brown so cute and Chubby Checkers because it has checked colors all over...awwww. More pics. to come. We love our new babies. Can you tell?

Pinewood Derby "The movie"

We had alot of fun today and we wanted to share it with all of our friends....Enjoy!

We've got BABIES!

Awwwww! Can you believe it?? We are so proud of her and we are in love already!

We held one baby, oh my so cute, this one has one white ear and one black ear...cute meter is sooo off the charts it's not even funny! Paco had to come over and say "hi". Now he can't stop checking out the cage, I think he knows something is up. "What's all that squeekin' going on in there?"

Pinewood Derby Day!

Just wanted to show you the finished car before we put it in the race. Seth did everything, we are so proud of him. He sanded, he painted and sanded again, painted and then this morning, the morning of the race, he put the wheels on. He used a hammer...momma was nervous (for my kitchen table, not worried about him hurting himself.) Seth is really excited and I hope we do well, I guess it's pretty competitive...I'm so not...but when I talked to Seth's cubscout leader, Jen, she will be without husband too so we promised to help each other. If the car is to light, or to heavy...wish me luck, I'll be taping the whole thing. The adventures of Seth and his race crew (that's me) ~ Peace.

It must be almost spring...

Ok this is the cutest thing. I was talking to my momma on the phone and I look outside and Mr. Chipmunk decided to pay a visit. Now this is my most favorite chipmunk because he comes all the time and he's really playful and fun to watch. So I've been taking pictures of him to show Seth when he gets home from school...

Well Mr. Chipmunk has a friend, I had no idea. They stayed in that exact position for a solid 5 mins. I'm hoping they are friends, I left the window to put dishes away and when I returned they were gone. How cute are chipmunks though, my goodness.

The race is almost on...

PINEWOOD DERBY TIME

Seth joined boy scouts last year so we were able to get involved in a few projects and this is the latest one. This is the first picture of his "race car" it's cut and primered. I just saw a note on the board reminding Seth to sandpaper where the wheels are going, so that must be the next step and then painting it, which should be fun. They are aloud to paint it however they want. Jim and Seth had fun in grandpa's garage last night getting this all ready. Jim cut it out on the bandsaw/jigsaw (can't remember what the thing was called) and Seth got to use the oscilating sander to make it all smooth. He loved playing with all the gadgets, he's such a boy :0). Well I'll post more when they get more finished. The race is Saturday. I will be the proud momma flashing all the pictures....

Paco Dog had so much fun.

Paco loved the winter storm. This was taken of him ready to come back in. So Cute!

Winter Storm March 2008

Pictures from our day...It has been fun, we like being snowed in, it's the getting out that's hard to do. Hi Mom, can you believe how much snow?!

Winter Storm March 2008

We are having so much fun being snowed in. I've used this time to make sweets for sweets :0) We also are freaking out by how much snow we are getting so I thought I'd show you from our front door.

Prayer Quilt

My Prayer Quilt....

My very dear friend, April, sent me this beautiful prayer quilt that was in honor of my dad. The wonderful thing about this quilt is she had it hung at her church and they would pray for my dad and pray for us and when they did, they would tie a knot or a bow in the ribbons connecting the squares. Some of the ribbons were left for my prayers...isn't that the sweetest thing ever?! It really means alot to me and I will treasure it forever. It's also very pink which has been my theme color this year...it was the power color for the garden :0) so it makes me smile because it does remind me of strength and that's what I need right now. I just can't believe how sweet she is for sending this...I really love it.
