Sheesh.

I am a failure when it comes to (consistent) blogging. Sorry, folks.
I do take pictures on a regular basis, and most of the time they get posted to facebook, because pretty much my whole family is on there now and it's just easiest to share that way! But there's something neat and creative about keeping a blog, and I want to keep trying. Please just don't expect too much here! If you'd like to check out what I do put on fb, you can look me up!

Our little homestead.

One of Ev's fave new hang out spots.

This little guy stayed with us for about a week, and then when the gorgeous weather hit we set him free into the wild world.

surveying the land...

It's fun seeing things bloom that I did not plant!

We love our new home!

More from Easter

On a four-wheeler is one of his favorite places to be!

My handsome guys!

He is Risen!

Little Lovey

Fresh out of the bath, FIRST haircut (by mommy), and he's counting his moneys!

He is so smart! Learning to put coins through the slot.

St Patty's Day Fun

Evan was so excited to get beads!! He's carried around some from last year and they're endless entertainment!

Lovin' like crazy!

We spent the evening at my family's place, and the boys played cards for a long time. It's so neat for me to watch my younger brothers enjoying my husband!

Lovelies blooming by the mailbox.

Settling into our new place!!

Me and my adornable precious baby!

Unpacking for Mama

Oh my gosh, I love this.

Early Spring

Meet "Gunner"

Yes, we know y'all think we're crazy. We've been talking about getting a "farm dog" for when we move into the new place (which has about 2 acres). He's an Australian Shepherd/Great Pyranees mix, which are really good family dog breeds. The minute Joel saw him I could tell he'd made up his mind that he wanted this dog! :)

We have two dogs now - Payson (shih-tzu) and this guy! They're getting along great. Once we're at the new place they'll both be outside dogs!

"Let love abound!"

Someone decided he needed to powder his nose!

Perfect! Baby powder! So that's why he was so quiet while I took a shower.

I baked an apple crisp, for no other reason than I was in the mood for it!

My handsome boys!!

Aw shucks.

Road trip to Springfield for thrift shopping!

Yes, I do occasionally drink soda!

"Melt in your mouth biscuits" (the cook-book doesn't lie!)

Little traveler.

My Apologies

My computer broke (like, literally just quit working) a couple weeks ago, so I only have internet access in the evenings when Joel brings his laptop home. I've been taking lots of pictures lately and would love to post them so y'all can see... but you'll just have to be patient until my new (used) laptop comes in the mail! Then I'll get back down to blogging business!
Happy almost the weekend!!
