Just remember that at first you have other things to do but it will get easier and my kids have to make their beds before they leave for school and make sure the dishwasher is empty before they leave. On Sunday night I also have them bring me their laundry from their rooms and bathroom and put it in the laundry room. That is a big help too. Becca put at the bottom of our lists "Just Whistle While you work"! Love you all and good luck!!!

and these two are who accompany him on his journeys.....what do these 2 have that I don't.......oh yeah, the ability to flush quail out of a bush!!!



"Mom, I want to wear my (Dad) socks".....

This little boy loves everything and anything that has to do with, look like and resemble in the slightest way, his daddy!!!! He loves to wear his socks or actually Cambry's boot socks cause they go up like his dad's do. He has to wake up, get dressed down to the worker boots and all. I love it. He loves to go to work with dad and get all "dirty" He'll come in and ask me if his boots look like they have dirt on them and they are covered in dust then he'll walk around on his heels so the dust doesn't come off. He is so funny!!!!!!





When life gives you Rice Crispies Make Rice Crispy Treats :)

So Doyle had his best friend Jack over the other day and they said they wanted to get their own snack. So as I put the clothes away and came back into the kitchen I see this......


I thought well....when you open the bag in the middle you might as well just finish tearing it and make rice crispy treats. They loved it. Doyle asked me if he could open another bag so he could make more the next day!!! Gotta love the way a 4 year old thinks!!!
