The picture of Jaxson just goes to show you what happens when I put him in charge of sweeping.

I put Rachel's hair in pigtails for the first time the other day and I thought it just looked too cute! She reminded me of Cindy Loo Who. And then in the others she reminded me of Goldilocks. I put some Cheerios in a measuring cup for her and she was wandering the living room trying out each chair to see which one was best. I'm surprised she didn't try to get in the recliner, but I know she would have lost all her cheerios trying to climb up.

I've been wanting to take pictures of the wildflowers around the ranch so on Friday evening we all went for a walk and I got to practice my photography skills. As it turns out, my photography skills are not so great but we had fun anyway. I have no idea what type of plant this is I have posted, but it's definitely my favorite. If anyone knows, please tell me.

Then on Saturday we took the kids to the children's museum in Abilene and had a blast. Rachel and Jaxson each got to "drive" the ambulance, among other fun things.

Silly Faces




Jaxson wanted me to take pictures of his silly faces today, and I thought it would be selfish of me to keep them to myself.

Well we have a variety of pictures here. I made beef enchiladas for dinner and Rachel is learning how to feed herself, as you can tell by her face. I think every kid has a picture like this. I know mine was oatmeal and Jaxson's involved chocolate pudding. And she pretty much tried to use the rice and beans as play-dough.

The pictures of Jaxson are from Volcano Day. He is really into volcanoes right now so we did the whole baking soda and vinegar thing. He had a lot of fun, as did Shawn and I. Afterwards Jaxson said, "I work at Volcano-land!" Oh and the volcano interrupted.

The other day I made pizza and sprinkled some oregano on top of the cheese. Jaxson saw it and said, "I don't want grass on my pizza!"
