Alley Spring, Flowers, Haiku, Mill, Spring, Travel

Alley Mill and Spring is my favorite place in the world. I’ve visited it in summer and autumn, but never this early in spring. I got that chance this week as I returned from dropping Benny off in Nevada, Missouri.

I write almost every day for myself and I even write myself a lot of (most bad) haikus. I use Day One and even though I can publish with them, I just don’t like their format as well. I want to post more, but it takes extra effort to get it over to WordPress. Please enjoy.

4th of July, Camping, Family, Fireworks, Pictures, Silly

I have not been good at posting on a regular routine basis. I had a great post written out about our first camping trip of the year. That was in May. So, maybe I’ll have a nice one for our second trip?

Things around our house have been hectic lately. We put our house up for sale and a lot has been going on. The primary category event that has been taking place has been Cleaning the House. But we do get to other things like Take Copper for a Walk (That’s a new change, too… new dog!), Swim in Neighbor’s Pool, Cleaning the House, Go to Work (only one of us there in that category), Play Wii, Take Pictures, Cleaning the House. So you can see we have been really very occupied!

Here are some pictures of some goings on. Check out our family’s channel on YouTube or my page on Streamzoo or Instagram. I update youtube less than this blog, but the other two I’m on almost every day. Enjoy!

Awww. Baby Bunny.

Some wounds need a Big Daddy band aid. This one didn’t, but it sure made him proud.

SMOKE BOMBS ARE FUN!

Watching the smoke bombs.

Can I do the Popper, Dad?

Happy 4th of July! From our Silly Girl.

Chocolate Bunny, Easter, Photos

Here are some pictures from our Easter Sunday. Hope you enjoy. The six of us have been together for 7 1/2 months months now. Compare this picture of Ben and Nate from the beginning (especially Ben). What a difference!

Getting Ready to Dye Eggs

Ben with his eggs. First time dying eggs!!

Nathan & the Easter Egg Hunt Aftermath

Yes, the dog ate all of my Easter Candy!

Ben with his dream Easter gift. A Spiderman hat. Everything he wants is preceded with “Spiderman” as an adjective. For example, he wants a Spiderman birthday, a Spiderman phone, a Spiderman bicycle, a Spiderman pillow, and someday he is going to live in a Spiderman house and drive a Spiderman motorcycle. . . so the Spiderman hat? Genius.
