power

you may be wondering about the title of this post, but read and watch on and you will soon see the meaning......

so we went to feed the geese this week, and matty LOVED it! when we first got there, tons of geese walked right up to us. its like they could smell the bread from inside the bag or something. matty was a little spooked at first saying "bite me? bite me?" well, its didn't take long for him to be comfy with them. as you can see, he had no problems with them at all once he got up on the bench



i guess since the poor kid has no power in the house with the girls, he figured he could show his strenth by yelling at the geese.

missed a few

here are a few more that i couldn't put up in the other post.....

ahhhhh, summer!

summer has got to be the best season out htere. and although it has not yet officially arrived, we are definately indulging in its perks right now!
the sun was shining today, the weather is warm, with a slight breeze that prevents us all from avoiding the outdoors, and the kids are completely pooped out at the end of the day after playing outside.
there are no winter coats, mitts or hats to lose, no need to let the car warm up for an hour and defiantely no chance of being cooped up indoors for MONTHS at a time.....
i took a few photos of the water fun and sun and thought you would like to see how big my beautiful children have grown and how silly they can be. and just for good measure, there are a few photos of our dogs. the loves of the kids lives, and our protectors.
