Geeks

I love my SHORTIES, LITTLE ONES, Mini Me's, so many terms of endearment to list. But just check out these shots. Tommy fits in the dryer! Yay, something I was just dying to know. Brooklyn looks angelic here. So beguiling.

TESS' PROM NIGHT

I HAVE A HARD TIME REMEMBERING TO THINK BACKWARDS WHEN LOADING PICTURES! so - HERE IS THE GROUP TESS' DATE, JORDAN PUT TOGETHER.
TESS & JORDAN GETTING READY TO LEAVE THE HOUSE.

PINNING ON THE FLOWER - TESS WAS NERVOUS AND TOLD JORDAN. AT THAT POINT I THINK HE GOT NERVOUS.

TYPHOID MARY

dad is calling me TYPHOID MARY because any grandchild that has stay here the past two weeks has gone home ill. These are my last two victims. They are the best patients; kept saying they were sorry; felt bad that we had to clean some floors, etc. Kiwi and Maddy are good little girls.

I was so glad when they finally took a nap. Their little bodies were so sore, tired and fevered. They spent the day on my bed and found it quite boring. Thank goodness we have the travel size DVD player-they could watch movies if they wanted.

Dying Easter Eggs

Getting ready for the Easter Bunny. Andy got stripped down because he had good clothes on and nothing to wear if dye got on them. He loved dying eggs-but made Lisa do it because it was messy. Cole just drank the dye and came up smiling! He is such a fun little boy.

Maddy & Kiwi are so excited for the whole thing.

Kay loves a MESS

Tess hoping the Bunny will be generous to her - the question is: Has she been a good girl?

SURPRISE, IT'S A POOL!

wE THOUGHT we were going to add an addition to our home (thanks to Kay & Nate for helping to prepare the footings and pour the cement!)

BUT THIS WEEK IT'S TURNED INTO A SWIMMING POOL? YIPPEE

JACKSON'S BLESSING MARCH 2009

I know you've all seen photos of Jackson's blessing. I wanted to make sure I had some for journaling and remembering. He is such a chewy baby. Jackson LOVES to cuddle and sleep (except at night-by now he may have this under control, though). My handsome grandson, Jackson James Barker. Isn't he a doll?

Proud and happy mom and dad, Jacque and Tyson-thus Jackson

Easter & Cadbury Eggs

There once was a little girl named Tess who loved her Mini Cadbury eggs.... who had a wonderful Father who recognized the value of object lessons and knowing that in adjacent to the most wonderful Holiday on the Nielsen's calender, which is planned and organized thru the year 2099, he thought it would be great for Tess to have a "Clean" start which is

the way she often approaches cleaning her room. She has found that the easiest way to clean her room is to rewash everything in her room, even the seven laudry loads from last week that barely made it back to her floor so

this is the trip of the Cadbury Eggs. With its bags packed Tess's Cadbury Eggs are off to a trip

After first practicing Tess's favorite position, supine, which is how Tutu once described her 1st four years of her life. (Apparantly Tutu must have missed the time when Uncle Larry diagnosed Tess's ADA problem.) So if with each passing day appreciate Tess's endless quest

for the missing Cadbury Eggs.
