Fun at the lake

This is for real!:o) We saw it near the lake while we were waiting outside the grocery store. Hey, where there's a will, there's a way~ Be inspired!!!



My little Jensy



Chad nicely endures a bit of ribbing about his truck...for some reason some folks think it's not a very matcho truck, I guess, LOL!:o) (Thought you Coffeys might especially enjoy this:o) But check out all that mud on it...it can't be all that sissy, now, can it!:o) 



So whether it's time shared working...



Or time shared



playing and visiting,



Any time shared with friends is just great!



Aliyah trying her friend, Zuriel's car out for a spin-- Hey nice wheels!:o)

Aren't little kiddos just the cutest things ever?!
Jensy & Zuriel going for a drive in his pick-up...

Valentine's Day...Fishing...And Trip

We did a unit study for school about snow rollers and did all kinds of fun "snowy" things. We didn't actually get much snow this winter, so I guess we made up for it this way!:o) Here we were making...



A snow globe!



We also made cute little snowmen out of styrofoam balls, sticks, buttons, etc.

The cute little snowmen...do you recognize your blue yarn, Lydia?:o)

Gluten-free play dough for Jensy...

Baby Aliyah -nine months old!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Beautiful bouquets! The big one for me from my dearest;
the cute little one from Daddy to his little princesses:o)

We like to have a nice family dinner served on my good china~
Oh, and just in case anybody's wondering, the date is off on this camera
(at least some of the time:) 

 

Daddy with his little valentines!

Chad & his friend, John, set trot lines one week-end...

And what a catch!!!

It ended up being around 50 lbs. of meat so we invited a bunch of friends over and had a big fish fry--yum! And still put some in the freezer!



Chad & Ty's trip to New Mexico and Arizona




They attended the wedding of our sweet friend, Jessica, in Arizona-- --Congratulations, Chris & Jessica!



And helped Chad's friend Matthew build a new shop/barn

With good friends, Matt & Ben at the City of Rocks



They got to go along to the market in Las Cruses, where our friends at Living Harvest Bakery sell wonderful baked goods each week. Check out their cool website at http://livingharvestbakery.com/Home.html
