This and That!

Some of you know that we are fortunate enough to get our lawn watered by the pivot lines that water the nearby wheat field. We can hook up our hoses to the water lines and also water our lawn at no charge. We mainly hook up the hoses to let the kids run through the sprinklers. We just got back from weeding our garden across the street and instead of having the kids change into their swimsuits, I just had them take off their pants and run in their shirts and panties. ( I know, we are ghetto! )They have fun even in their underwear!
Don't look at the next two pictures if you are grossed out by baby poop!


Jordyn's first blow out. I think it is time we went from newborn diapers to size one. We actually took this picture to show Jared's dad what a true "bad diaper" looks like. He says he changed a diaper that would be rated a 13 from a scale of 1 to 10. We asked if it had leaked out the bottom and the top and used the whole bag of wipes. He said, "well, hum, no. But it stank really bad!" We told him that this diaper of Jordyn's was rated only a 5 or 6 in our book, so he couldn't have gotten a diaper that was that bad!


The kids asked if they could take the camera outside and take a few pictures of themselves. I said they could take about 5 pictures or so each. 104 pictures later, here are some that I kept. It is interesting what they deam worthy of picture taking. There were pictures of the back of the house, grass, bark, pine cones and other such objects. I prefer the pictures that they took of each other.




Heidi, Jared's sister, always lets Alexis take her camera and take pictures. She says that Lexie always takes the best pictures. I would have to say that she is right. I really like this next one she took of Mackenzie and Eli.




This classic model shot, with the wind blowing in Mackenzie's hair, was actually taken by me.






This is Max, my sister Sharon's little boy. He is two months older than Jordyn. They are buddies. He is going to be Jordyn's body guard. Well, he actually already is . Nobody would mess with Jordyn when Max is around...can't you see he's already ready to pound anybody who get's in his way!







We set the tent up in the back yard and the kids brought out their dolls that Aunt Shaina, my sister, made for them. It was really quite cute how they set up their beds like this.








And here they are all ready for bed. They did really well! Jared slept outside with them while I stayed in my comfy bed with Jordyn.


Alexis, Mackenzie, and Eli

I love the picture of max and jordyn. So cute.
Thanks for showing the dolls! I'm glad they still like them.

Oh, and blowouts aren't fun! Definitely go up a diaper size. That helps.

Max ALWAYS has a blowout when sitting with me! It makes me wonder what kind of babies I'll have, and what kind of influence i'll have on their bathroom habits. hmmm. I love the model picture!
