SORRY!

We're gamers in my family. 
While my parents were here, we taught Madilyn how to play SORRY!! 
She LOVED it. 

In fact she loved it so much that after they left and she had no one to play with,
she resorted to the next best thing,

STUFFED ANIMALS!!
She seriously sat and played for each of them for HOURS one day!

Caught on Camera

Payden was six weeks when he smiled his first REAL smile. 
He's just like Dad! 
And would STOP AS SOON AS I pulled the camera out!
It took me 2 weeks to get this one!!

"Hide and Go Seek"


Hide and Seek is a VERY popular game at our house. 
If you've ever been around my kids I'm SURE you have played it with them! 
When Dad is home, he brings a whole new level to the game!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!


St. Patricks Day wasn't very eventful! 
We did Green Eggs and Green Waffles for breakfast!
Madilyn made sure she wore anything and everything green she had to bed so she wouldn't get pinched in the morning!
She couldn't believe I'd have her wear BLUE jeans during the day...
she thought EVERYTHING had to have green on it!

Grandma Jani and Grandad!

Mom, Dad, and Dianna came to visit during their Spring Break. 
They couldn't wait to come see North Dakota BABY PAYDEN!
We had a great time while they were here.  Wish they could have stayed longer!

We took them down to see Lake Sakakwea and the bridge over it. It was a nice outing with everyone.  Madilyn and Landon loved running around with everyone.

Madilyn couldn't believe this was a "real sign".
(I think it was more like she couldn't believe she could get that CLOSE to a real sign!)
SO of course we had to take a picture!
There was a fun little trail that went under the bridge to the other side.
Here they are sitting under the bridge!
Two of my handsome's!
 The boys took off for a long drive.  They saw some pretty cool things...like the railroad tunnel.
The girls came home and got to work decorating the kitchen with me!!
Dianna is going to think twice before doing a project with me again!!  We spent HOURS trying to pick out fabric!  But I had a blast and wish they were here to help me decide what to do with the rest of the house!! Although, its slowly coming together! 
One day we went to the park and took our picture in front of the "Stanley" sign.

Finally!  A picture of PAYDEN!!
 I promise the little guy was around, just stayed bundled up on all our little outings!
He even rolled over a couple times while they were here!  I thought it was just a fluke, but now he's pretty quick to flip to his back! I'm going to have another walker by 9 months!
I love this picture!  It reminds me of a picture from when I was a kid of me and Allison playing with our Grandpa Boyer and he's laying on the floor just like this! Landon LOVED playing and building with Grandad!  He wanted to go anywhere Grandaddy did! 


Grandma and Grandad with the Hunting Grand Kids!
I think it took 20 minutes to get all 3 kids too cooperate for these pictures!

Goodbye for now...

Sigh, AGAIN! 
Not only am I WAY behind,  I have run out of picture space AGAIN!
Apparently I post too many pictures and I'm too cheap to buy more space!
I'd rather not create a NEW blog AGAIN.
Hopefully, deleting old pictures and posts will free it up.
SO,  I've got some cleaning up and book making to do before I can work on my GAZILLION posts.
By the way...What the heck? When did blogger decide to change?!

BEHIND!

I keep checking my own blog. 

I guess I'm hoping that by chance the
5473421356
 posts waiting on me have magically apeared. 

It looks like its going to be at least another week before I even get started...
we're making a trip to Bismark today to get a truck, then we'll be in Idaho for a week for Payden's Blessing!

BUT..here's a picture of my little BIG guy to tide you over till then!
He won't even be 2 months until SUNDAY and I've already pulled out the 3-6 month clothes!!


Here's ALL the rugrats on Easter Sunday. 
We kinda spaced the getting new church clothes part! Ooops! :D
