We’ve been busy, busy lately.  Always on the go.  So busy, that I’m just going to post all these pictures straight out of the camera, with no editing, to save time. ;)

We’ve been outside a lot.  It’s been so pretty and the boys just love the freedom of the backyard.

Rusty started rolling over every time the boys came around.  I thought it was cute and he was just giving in, knowing that he was out numbered and he may as well lay there and let them pet him.  Knowing what I know now, he was too tired to do anything else.  He was born with a really bad heart murmur and by the time it was diagnosed  he had so many other ailments that his little heart was just too tired to keep going.  Rusty went to heaven on March 9, 2010. 

Within just a couple months time Taylor has lost his Great Grandmother and a dog he’s had for as long as he can remember back.  He’s cried and asked a lot of questions and felt grief, and mourned for the first time in his life.  He’s so young to be dealing with these feelings that many adults don’t even know how to deal with.  But he’s doing well.

Last weekend was a busy one, so Wade came home to help.  My good friend Jenny had a surprise birthday party at a place called Brushes and Beverages.  It’s a place where you can drink a glass of wine and paint a picture with the aid of an instructor and enjoy each other’s company.  It was a lot of fun.

My masterpiece:

The next morning I went with Mimi to a Walk for Bibles at Idle Hour Park.  It was chilly to start off with, so Wade stayed home with the boys and brought them up there after it warmed up.  We were going to let them throw the ducks some old bread, but they just wanted to eat it and threw a fit when we took it away.  Next time I will have to take good bread up there so they can have their fill and then throw it to the ducks.

After the park and naps we went back outside!

Then, Church on Sunday, in the nursery:

Daddy won’t like this picture, I’m sure.

Then, back outside!

I attempted to finger paint with the boys, but they did not like it at all!

Carter decided he was done!

He was so upset he didn’t even like his bath afterwards.

Brayden pushing him around helped cheer him up a bit.

Another one Dad won’t like.  lol!

One tired puppy!
