POOR BABY BOY

Our poor baby boy has a bump on his forehead. He got it when he was on his dressing table being changed. I don't know why this doesn't surprise me, but the minute he is put there he begins moving. I believe that he feels this is his very only work out area. He rolls to the right and then he rolls to the left. It's real fun trying to change a diaper when the boy is moving in every direction.

Well, at least he is smiling.
It does look like it hurt, but probably not for long if the smile in the previous picture is any indication.

Check out those big eyes!

I wonder if the boo boo bunny had been applied already in this picture.

It doesn't look as sore here.

OLD PAPPY AND GREAT GRANDMA

Ron's parent's, "Old Pappy" and Great Grandma as they are affectionately called by their great grandchildren attended the wedding of their youngest grandson on Saturday. Ron's cousin, Grace, passed this picture on to me and I thought it was a great picture of both of them. I know that I mentioned this so many times before, but just in case someone would be reading this and wonder why we would even think that "Old Pappy" would be an affectionate term, this name was chosen by Tayler when she was about 18 months old. She was in her Pappy's arms at Ron's parent's house. Ron and his father were talking to each other and Tayler looked from one to the other and her comment was, "You are Pappy and he is Old Pappy". Since that time Pappy Etter (Ron's dad) is now known as Old Pappy, but of course there is no way we would ever refer to Great Grandma as "Old Nana". I find it interesting that Dylann is now very interested in Old Pappy. Any time we are with her she will ask a number of times where Old Pappy is. I have to wonder if she sees the resemblance of Pappy and Old Pappy too.

Old Pappy and Great Grandma looking really good at the wedding.

SPRING SOCCER

NO, Tayler is not playing Spring Soccer, but hopeful someday she will. She is such a good little player and if she plays Spring soccer it will mean she is playing in high school. These pictures were taken at the end of the Fall season when they were able to play on indoor turf. This was a game played between the number one and number two team in their league. Tayler's team was tied with the number one team going into the last game of the season, but they ended the season as the number two team. What a great bunch of soccer player they were. Some of the picture will show you just how quick Tayler is and the intensity that she plays with. After all her dad was a soccer player and the captain of his team. She can be nothing but a good player. Hopefully she will decide to play field hockey when she is older too. Her mom was a great player and was also a hockey captain. Tayler is not fond of field hockey, but the only reason for that is because her mommy was the JV hockey coach at the high school and Tayler did not like the amount of time it took her mommy away.

Tayler is on the move.

On the run again.

CHECKING OUT A BABY TURTLE

The weather has been nice and Dlyann has been enjoying some time outside. She recently found a baby turtle. Here are a few cute pictures of Dylann, Mommy and the baby turtle.

So cute!

Aw, That's cute Mommy.

THOUGHTS OF WEDDINGS

These are old pictures, but I will tell you that these two little girls are into weddings now. Yesterday after both girls were finished with school, they put on white dress up wedding dresses. They also put on their mommy and daddy's wedding video and watched it. They were getting married and then dancing at the reception. Wished I could have taken pictures, but I was having a hard time lifting my sick head off the couch. So there was no recent wedding pictures, but these two were taken at an earlier time when they were playing dress up.

Yesterday they were both dressed in white.
Maybe Tayler was the bride and Sydney was the flower girl.

WE SAW MARRIED PEOPLE

Yesterday Pappy's youngest sister's youngest son was married. We all were there and dressed in our finest, but did any of us think to take a picture? NO. The girls had a wonderful time seeing the bride and enjoying the reception. Tayler was so impressed with the bride that she decided that she really likes Sarah and wants to invite her to her birthday party. They also had a punch fountain which she loved and decided that will be part of their birthday party too. I did have to laugh when all three girls went up to the head table to check out the bride and groom and when they came running back Sydney said, "We saw married people". To cute.

CAN YOU SAY CHOCOLATE

Doesn't it look like she is enjoy that chocolate bunny?

Dylann is chocolate mess.

AND LITTLE BIT OF THIS AND A LITTLE BIT OF THAT

Just a few more pictures Dylann and Marshall as they enjoy themselves.

Dylann taking time to pose for a picture.

It is very hard to get her to be still and get a picture of her.
Guess what Dylann has?

Piggy tales.

What a great back rest Marshall has in Bodie.

He's always so happy.

The most important thing to go in Dylann's L.L. Beam bag.

DYLANN!

ANOTHER SEASON, BUT I LOVE THE PICTURES

Since Erin's computer had a melt down and my camera cord is gone, she allowed me to use her camera to post pictures on my computer. There were old pictures along with the new ones she had taken when I downloaded them and decided to post the ones I liked. You will see different pictures that have nothing to do with this time of year. These three pictures were taken last fall since they are sitting in front of pumpkins.

IN THE PACK N PLAY

My it's hard to believe that 3 days have passed since I posted anything on the blog. There is much going on in our life, but the children are busy having fun. Dylann and Marshall are having fun spending some time in the pack-n-play. They are all smiles and look as happy as can be. Meanwhile the grownups wait and mourn what we know will be happening to their great Uncle Bobby. He is my only sibling and the nasty disease of cancer will soon take his life. If you could we would appreciate your prayers. My sister in law is doing a wonderful job taking care of him and God bless her for being faithful to her vows and loving him through all of this.

Brother and Sister
All smiles

We are happy!

Can you say cheese?

TAYLER AND SYDNEY ARE GETTING READY FOR THEIR BALLET RECITAL

May is right around the corner and that means that Tayler and Sydney will be involved in their yearly ballet recital. This past Saturday they had their pictures taken for this years recital. Of course parents are not allowed in the room when pictures are being taken or why would they bother buying them. While the girls were waiting to be called in for pictures Mommy was busy taking as many pictures as she could.

Tayler
Doesn't she look tall and thin?
