Three Pals

We have had the honor of taking care of our cousins on a couple of summer days. Luke is having a ball with them. They all play so well together!

Eggs!

Easter at Memaw and Paw's was full of egg hunts and yummy food!

Christmas 2009

Holy Cow! What a Christmas it was. We hit all the family celebrations this year. There were a total five stops. There were, however, countless laughs, bites of goodness, and piles of presentes. Luke had a ball. He thought every single time we left the house we should go somehwere and open presents! Hope your Christmas was a blast too!

Zoo Outing

We all hit the zoo today for a little 65 degree November day. What a treat it was!

Emily's First Fishing Trip

We took the kids fishing at the Rutledge-Wilson farm. Emily was finished fishing after about the first ten minutes. She wanted action and we couldn't blame her. Angie and Kati Ann fished for an HOUR solid. They wanted to catch a fish for Emily so badly! Angie wound up catching a fish on her last worm. She saved the day! The fish wasn't exactly a trophy but it was enough to spark Emily's interest. She was begging to go fishing again when we were packing to go home!

Butterfly Kisses

We went to Branson today and took the kids to The Butterfly Palace. It was AWESOME! Emily loved it the most. We couldn't leave until a butterfly landed on her. She got her wish and had several land on her delicate little hands. She was so careful with them. She couldn't hardly crack a smile for the camera becasue she was concentrating so much. They also had a bug and reptile room. The first picture below is of GIANT cockroaches. They were Angie's FAVORITE. I've never seen anything like them. They ate food that was the size of dog food pellets! Ethan liked the gift shop the best. It had lots of cool toys. Luke had one butterfly land on him. He was okay with it for about 3 seconds and then he was ready for his visitor to carry on about his business.
