Flannel PJs!

JB and Gloria picked out their own flannel fabric and Gramma Shell made them all PJs! I picked out the flannel for Benaiah's. JB and the Technicolor Dream....Pajamas?

JB kept Benaiah on the couch by holding onto his ears.


Here we bribed Benaiah to stay on the couch by offering him a glow stick to chew on.

Here's Benaiah about to flee...Look out Zephyr!

Little Farm Girl

Climbing trees

On her look-out post...I mean, stump

My little sunflower...actually, I usually call her my morning glory, but in this case, she's a sunflower farm girl.

Rub a Dub....

Three Kids in a Tub

Bath Boys

Benaiah - would it really hurt from this distance if I bailed out now?

Psycho Baby

Psycho Baby is actually something that JB started when he was a baby. Benaiah came by it naturally when he started to do his be-bop baby dance, shaking and swaying his head. This reminded us of JB being a psycho baby with the head shake.

Benny Bounce Up?

A Beautiful Saturday

All three playing in or around the sandbox.

Benaiah, how does it feel to have the same hair-do (sticky-upy) as Zephyr ? They both get around on all fours and both eat gross things sometimes...hopefully Benaiah won't have an identity crisis. Zephyr thinks she's one of us though...

Contemplative...it feels like a stick, it looks like a stick, and it tastes like a stick...it must be a...stick!

Watching Daddy shoot his bow in the backyard...man, we're going to miss having this big back yard!

A new sensation to have sand in the hand...and oooh, a bonus stick! I was very surprised at how little Benaiah attempted to put sand in his mouth in his first experience of the sand...maybe it's because he already tried the mud and decided it didn't taste very good.

Awwww...the Maxs

This was the day Max got back from an eight day trip. JB was very glad to have his Daddy home. This past weekend is the first one we had as a family (that Max didn't have to work or wasn't away) since Christmas.

It was a beautiful weekend and we got to clean up the back yard in the beautiful sunshine and even got a little sun burnt...I don't tend to think about sunscreen in March.

Cute Faces

Cute faces of jail baby, Benaiah.

The first expression is one that makes me both laugh and melt. It's not often that he shows both his top teeth and bottom teeth in a smile.

The thumb-sucking picture is not a rare sight.

Benaiah loves to climb on anything even his brother and sister. We are trying to teach JB and Gloria to keep still when he's attempting to climb them. JB's eyes look weird because I tried to fix red eye.

Gloria the Butterfly

These furry heart "antennae" were on clearance left over from Valentine's day. For Gloria, they are the perfect addition to her butterfly outfit. In order to keep this headband on (I think it is made for adult size heads) I had to tie her ponytails to the two antennae.
