KITTENS GALORE!!

The cats are staying in the shed, they have a nice little bed, a heater, food, water, and protection from all of the other animals. Everyday since the kitties have been born we go out in the shed and watch them. This is the rag muffins watching the babies eat from there momma...

Momma (Small One) and her four little ones!!

Peanut is Small Ones sister, it has been so fun to watch them, Peanut hasn't left her sister's side and has been helping her clean herself and the babies and just taking care of everyone. Its cute!

DAY TO DAY...

Cowboy through and through....

Mister Goofball himself!! He makes me smile everyday....

Our little cowgirl princess is so much fun. She got some new clothes so she is all ready to go branding over at Papa's in a couple of weeks. Always a good time:)

We are so blessed to be able to share in the joy of everyday life with Maretta and Woody's kids. My kids were so excited to be able to feed Hudson. It took some serious concentration.

Just a quickie...

The wind is blowing so hard that I can't sleep and I realize that I have been neglecting my blog...

Last night Tuck had a really bad dream, it was about a bad guy in his umbrella. It scared him so he ended up sleeping with Tanner and I ended up in bed with Sissy. Well tonight he didn't want to go to bed because he was scared, but I thought that I had talked him out of being scared as we said prayers and I tucked them into bed. Sadie and Tuck both came tip-toeing out of their room, holding hands as they both said, "mom, we are scared". I said, "Sadie, what are you scared of?" She says, "Tuck told me about his dream and I am scared of it too". So I came up with a brilliant plan, I grabbed Lily's blanket and took the kids to bed, tucked them in again and put Lily's blanket on their floor and I said, "Lily can sleep on your floor". Tuck said, "What good will Lily do?" I said, "She will chase away all of your bad dreams". The kids both said okay and within 2 minutes they were both sound asleep and so was Lily.....I hope they are always so trusting and impressionable:)

We have some really EXCITING news.....We have four new additions to our family...Small One had her tiny kittens this morning, good job momma!! (I will post pictures shortly)....We just can't get enough of these sweet little fur balls:) And the kids cannot wait until they can hold them! It is so fun for the kids to have so many simple yet miraculous joys in their lives. They really know how to help me put things into perspective.

Just a Cute Tid Bit!!

Sadie and Tuck have been really into homework and coloring and cutting. But Sadie has been almost obsessed with coloring a ton!! I was noticing that she has had these tiny little cuts on her fingers and hands. So a couple of days ago I was sewing and Sissy was on the floor by me coloring. She started crying and she grabbed her hand and started yelling something that I couldn't understand. I picked her up and sure enough she had another paper cut. Tanner and I calmed her down and got her a bandage but she was so mad. We asked her what was wrong and she yelled,

"MY PAPER BIT ME!!"
