In the valley, at the farm!

Spring is here! The farm is green, and the weather is wonderful! Even Jayne Elizabeth is now saying "Pop-pop, Nan-na, farm!"  It appears that these kids would prefer to spend their time on the farm! Jayne Elizabeth is most definitely a Papa's girl!  She "calls" him on her phone and mumbles his name throughout the day! It is so funny because he has really not put any added effort into their relationship, but she has chosen him! As far as the boys Joseph would move in with Granna if we would allow him! Johnathan still makes my heart smile, because he is a momma's boy! All three are very outgoing, and love people ( and all animals! )! With spring here farm life is the place for them to be!

Oh, this little girl!

The boys love their "cow" boots AND their cowboy boots, but I have a feeling it is the person who fills the cowboy boots that make these boys want to be cowboys!
"Buddy" is the twins new best friend! This cow licks them and follows them on the farm!
The newest addition on the farm, "Secret" the surprise filly to us all!
Down by the river, note Joseph getting very close with his stick in the background!
The apple doesnt fall far from the tree.......
Throwing rocks and picking up sticks!

Easter 2010


Happy Easter! We had a busy Easter day. Anthony was on-call so it complicates things! But we were very happy that Granna, Papa, and Aunt Justina went to church with us Easter morning. The family Easter picture that I had visioned didnt work so well! The trio was not in the mood for a photo session. At one point Johnathan said "no pictures today!" Anyway, I should remember it isnt about the outfit or picture, it IS about Jesus who we are celebrating. As the boys would say "Jesus is alive!"




awe, my big boys monograms!
Going into church, Daddy was there for a little bit!
Sunday school party

Family pictures....ha, ha, ha!


Back at home, baseball!

No baseball here, sleepy baby girl with Mommy!

The Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny came to our house while the babies were sleeping! Johnathan and Joseph were very excited to see their basket of goodies on the stairs. Jayne Elizabeth wanted everyone's basket, not just hers! When asking the boys about the Easter bunny coming Joseph said "he went home." Johnathan told us "he went hop, hop, hop over to Titus' house!"  ha ha ha!!
The first peek! Our Easter bunny even brings monogrammed bags for Daddy! ha!

The kids were super happy that we allowed them to have a piece of chocolate at 6 AM!!!

Jack and Jake's Easter Egg Hunt

 A blog friend of mine has twin boys, a farm family, recently had her third baby, and has three "j" named kids! She is so sweet and we have so much in common!  So I loaded up  my crew and mae the 1 hour 45 minute drive to her boys Easter Egg Hunt! There were so many cute kids and fun blog Moms there! Johnathan and Joseph loved running throught the field finding the eggs! The boys think the egg hunt is a race! Jayne Elizabeth is much more calm! It didnt take Johnathan and Joseph long to learn that these eggs had candy inside, much more preferred than the pennies I put in their eggs!

                  Fran, Elizabeth, Jake, Johnathan, Joseph, and Jack!!

I love personalized clothes, especially with an Easter bunny!




A gorgeous East Tennessee egg hunt!

Easter Party at Our House!

Johnathan, Joseph and Jayne Elizabeth worked hard preparing the food and party items for their friends! The boys were super excited for the "party." Joseph woke-up asking for Titus-Brody (one word, two separate friends!).  Titus was already coming! After talking with Brody's parents Anthony checked Brody out of school to come play for the day! It was a special time!
I adore the bunny and egg sandwiches! I love to party!
The boys enjoyed making the cupcakes, and licking the "batters!"
The craft, a  furry handprint sheep!
I praise Jesus for this trio!
Cutest tutu and "J" behind on the block!
