He is so cute, isn't he? He was so scared. His teeth were chattering. I'd be scared too if two screaming/giggling boys and a mean man were chasing me and trapped me in a bucket so some old lady could take my picture!  

Rat in our back yard - (golf course, really). And, I think it's a muskrat - I'd have to look it up to be sure, though. 

Updates

Hello all!

Thought I'd let you all know what's new with me. I have recently started classes at Kaplan (online) University, in Forensic Nursing! There are 5 courses with 9 lessons a piece. I am on course 1, lesson 3 already and I am really into this stuff. As I get further along I will seek out an externship - hopefully with the M.E.'s office or a local law enforcement agency. So, wish me luck!

Sky is doing well. He's already taking advantage of the warmer weather and sunshine we've been seeing. Only 3 weeks ago he was ice fishing, now he's fishing on the lake in his boat, and has a golf outing already set up! Work is going fine - he never really has any complaints, he seems to really like his job.

Justin will be having his 7th b-day party at Funset Blvd (http://www.funset.com/home.html) on Sunday the 24th at 12:30. He's counting down the days!

Tyler is really confused about when his b-day is - As you'll see in the pic's below they are starting to celebrate summer b-days so I made cupcakes, he wore a crown, and everyone sang.

Justin and Tyler will be playing soccer this summer. They'll have practices and 12 games. I think the season is about 3 months long. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.

Joshua is getting big and beginning to develop that deep belly laugh that tickles us all. He's very alert and strong! He's eating bananas now - and really likes them! He wakes usually once when he wakes during the night. Last night he went down at 9:30p and was up at 5:30a. Yipee for Me!

Charleston - well, he's still a cat.

We hope everyone is doing well and hope we see all of you soon!

Another cute picture of our baby! I can really see the family resemblence in this picture. 

Tyler, Keaton, and his siblings, Lilly, and Trent. They have an older brother, Ben - 14, and Morgan is 1 month. Keaton and Tyler are in preschool together and will both be playing soccer this summer. Their mom and I have started having regular playgroups at each others house every other Tuesday. We have lunch and one of us brings dessert. It's rather fun! Here they were watching The Incredibles.  

Cupcakes I made for Tyler's b-day party at preschool. They have spongebob squarepants wrappers and toppings. Turned out really good too! 

Isn't he getting long? His next appointment isn't until 4 months but if I have the time I'll measure him myself and let you all know how long he is. 

Sweet picture of Joshua! 

Isn't he cute? I can't believe he'll be 5 years old in June! 

They started sharing summer b-days at Tyler's preschool and this is him at his party. 

Let's see, I've been changed, I've been fed - hmm, what's missing?  

Tyler and Joshua - aren't they cute! Joshua looks like he's ready for the game to begin! 

They had made themselves a spot to sleep - on the floor! I always turn the light on to check on them at night - doesn't bother them but it's about 11pm here. 

Justin had gotten a black eye from rough housing with Daddy and Tyler. Ironically, it caused his gland to swell and the swelling went up into his face. Weird, huh? Tyler and daddy sustained no injuries. :) 

I thought this was a sweet close-up.
