Sleepless in Seaside

Some pictures from our recent trip to Seaside, OR:

Kaylee Zingers

Just had to record a few from today:

"Mom, drive home quickly, I'm really hungry!"

"I will get home as fast as I can, but I don't want to get into an accident"

"I mean SLOWLY drive home quickly!"

And later....

"Well... I got the burps today"

First Day of Kindergarten

She was so excited, Hudson was sad, and Mom and Dad were so proud! :)

Birthdays

I completely forgot to take pictures of Hudson's cake and balloons. Fortunately, we got a lot of video of that occasion! Birthdays were fun. Hudsons came on a Saturday. The day started out with waffles, then we went to a playground all morning. After naptime Jeff came home and we celebrated with a special dinner, balloons, cake, and presents!

Kaylee's birthday happened on Jeff's day off. He took her to a pool and playground during the day. We also had balloons, cake & lots of presents to open for her. She had fallen asleep on the way home from the pool, so Jeff went into work to fill a bunch of balloons. She woke up on the way home surrounded with balloons and didn't seem to indicate that it was anything strange or unusual. :)

Shave and a Haircut

Check it out, the reverse mohawk is back in style. Hudson is all over this! He found the clippers I had absent mindedly left on the desk, which I thought was completely out of juice, but apparantly had enough to do this!
Yes, that's a 1/8th inch shave, people!

I lost the charging cord for the clippers and had just ordered a replacement. I hope the UPS man brings it soon. In the meantime I decided I like it. It makes me laugh and I hope it makes other people smile.

The Things Kids Say

We all know how kids say the strangest things. Well, Kaylee is being adorable by drawing a picture of heaven "to give to Jesus and God". Then she says she's going to die like this (open arms & eyes closed) so she can give it to them. This makes me choke! I suggested maybe we MAIL the picture to them instead. So as she's putting the picture in an envelope she says to me "This is much better!"

All Cooped Up

The coop is built, the run is fenced in, and the chickens are free to run around :) They haven't quite figured out the ramp yet. Last night I had to put them back in the coop by hand.
My good little helpers, helping me clean out the coop.

And plant and water the garden!
And clean the windows too :) that's more fun!
