Spring-The Season for...

Claritin

My beautiful cassias in full desert bloom. Can you smell the allergies?

Photo-Ops

With children who do not want to sit quaintly in front of the picket fence.

The MASTERS (golf)

Who needs Tiger when you have a dueling Jack?

Baseball

Spring training

Egg hunts

This one had stuff in it so she was properly pleased.

Egg dyeing

For the first time, I finally got brave enough.

Chocolate

When isn't chocolate in season?

And of course,

THE CC Fair

Animals, friends, family, fun and food

Family Pictures

Here we go...

During Wheeler Family Fun this year we took pictures. I love how they turned out especially since it was monsoon like conditions.

Don't let the ugly work boots distract you. In the flurry of getting myself and the kids portrait perfect I failed to neglect one minor detail.

6 Years Ago...

Was this day...

Our Joyous Occasion

Princess for the Day

Jara has only one girl cousin and EIGHT boy cousins on the Wheeler side, so when they get together it is tiaras, feathered shoes and princess dresses, while riding bikes and playing on the swing set of course.

Princess Tessa and Princess Jara

Finally someone Jara's own size for the thigh burner, I mean teeter-totter.
(I love the scary look on Jara's face in this picture.)

Enjoying the wind free day, the first in many

Poor Jack, the banished boy for the day

March Madness

We have a problem...


This last month there has been a little too much basketball going on in this house. Jack has an obsession with SportsCenter and will happily watch highlights with Jed for as long as we will let him. He has been known to throw the remote at his victims head demanding BALL! And he can throw tantrums better than Bobby Knight.

Not only does he watch basketball he plays some serious crib hoop.

Oh yeah-Jack says to go with Kentucky

7 Days

I remember, as a little girl, embroidering towels that had kitties doing their daily chores. Monday was sewing day, Tuesday was laundry day etc. Well here are my own little "kiddies" doing their weekly chores.

Monday-Gardening

Tuesday-Dusting (re-shelving the books)

Wednesday-Organizing

Ella, what have you taught Jara?

Thursday-Baking

Hooray for rolls that actually turned out (considering I forgot an egg) and if you're thinking-ha those look like crap, well you should see the rolls that don't turn out. It's a work in progress.

Friday-Laundry/washing

The washing

The folding-Ahhh milestones, she can now fold towels and washcloths. Yipppeee. On to socks next.

Saturday-PLAY

He really is happy in this picture, he was making one of his creature noises hence the cranky looking face, besides he had his own bowl of chips, how could he not be happy? (The key to containment, since folding chairs do not have 5-point harnesses.)

Sunday-REST
